The cat and the meat

When I first heard of the Incident of the Australian muslim cleric (egyptian born unfortunately) from Memz, I started laughing immedietly. The kind of laughter that usually springs from horror. But at the same time I can't say that I am surprised. This mentality is quite typical, and I have railed against it time and time again. The refusal of the islamic clerics to hold the men in any way or shape responsible for the sexual harassament of women has been something that has existed for decades, and now, thank god, it's starting to gain the attention and scrutiny it so well deserves.

The good news? The Imam has been exposed and attacked. He issued an apology and he has now taken an extended leave from the Islamic centre . Good riddance. May he never come back again!

    Take a good look at these islamic clerics and you have to admit that Islam burka-ed the wrong sex!!

    This is very good news.

    The one time in my life that I was mistaken for a prostitute was when a person of Middle Eastern looks and poor english language skills spotted me in a group of softball players after a game. There were a bunch of us, a mixed group of men and women, from two different teams.

    This was on a fine summer night during the week in Washington, D.C. There was this poor guy looking lost, and I thought he probably needed directions to his hotel, and among us we had a fine assortment of language skills, so I stopped and asked him if he was lost. It took a while, but when he finally got the concept and the words “Buy you?” across, we all started laughing and said “Never mind!”

    SM, did you notice the reason given for his suspension? To “consider the impact of his words”?

    Not that they were wrong - just that it was a bad thing that other people heard about them

    Valerie, I can relate.
    The first job my brother and I had was on a dude ranch in Wyoming, back in the early 1970’s. One of our guests was a college student from Pakistan. He and my brother hit it off wonderfully - he rode on the back of my brother’s scooter to some of the best fishing spots around. The guy was having a great time. My brother introduced us. I held out my hand with a friendly smile and said cheerily, “So nice to meet you!” You would have thought I was some cockroach crawling up his arm. From then on, he never looked at me without a sort of sideways sneer. Now for an attractive, shy but warm individual as I was, this was about the most crushing putdown I had ever received in my life and I never forgot it. Years later, I read about Muslim customs and finally understood where this guy was coming from. Do I still take it personally? Hell, yes!

    Why is he looking at that cat’s genitals?

    This chap has been yelling his craziness for more than two decades in Australia. He finally has got the spotlight and the attention he had been craving - but it is not to his taste I think.

    The thing that ticked him off was that his speech was translated into English and plastered on front page newspapers for all to read. That is all that he is really sorry about I bet. And if you read his apology you will see he states he was taken out of context - which is impossible as the entire speech was reprinted.

    A number of government ministers have looked at this guy with the view to getting him out of the country but none of them yet have had the balls to carry it through. Maybe al-Hilali has given them the ammunition they need. Hope they also expel his spin-doctors too.

    Why do you think he is crazy of craving the spot light? I loved the fact that he stood up and blamed the Zionists for spying on his sermons to discredit Islam. You know, if he didn’t do a good enough job himself!

    This bullsh!t line is spouted by most Imams when they get busted. For years they have been saying one thing to the Western media in Western languages and another to Muslim audiences in their own languages. Imams have been caught denouncing FGM to the Dutch while telling Dutch-Somali women to go home to get it done. With the Danish cartoons the Danish Imams were caught saying utterly different things on al-Jazeera. It is such petty dishonesty that gets me. What is it with Islam and lying?

    Uragan Says:”A number of government ministers have looked at this guy with the view to getting him out of the country but none of them yet have had the balls to carry it through. Maybe al-Hilali has given them the ammunition they need. Hope they also expel his spin-doctors too.”

    I don’t think they ought to stop at his spin-doctors. Clearly Lebanese Muslim immigration was a mistake and they ought to revert them all to their former nationality and send them home. Apart from a few rugby players can anyone name a Lebanese Muslim (as opposed to a Maronite) who is making any sort of positive contribution to Australia?

  9. The Usual Suspect Says:

    He is Egyptian. Not Lebanese. His wife is Lebanese and my mum tells me she used a run a nice little illegal pawn business back in the day where she would lend people small amounts of money if they left their gold jewellery with her. Ofcourse they couldn’t pay it back and she kept the gold.

    Hilali is now in hospital apparently suffering from chest pains (awwww- sorry no sympathy). He’s announced that he is taking indefinite leave but refuses to resign. His daughter, the cow, defended him on national TV (why isn’t she at home, in her room, in her hijab- isn’t she afraid of being raped!!!) and said that her father would not resign over this incident.

    The bizarre thing is that there are some people, not Muslims but members of Australia’s broader community, who are saying that he has a point- that women should be covering up instead of inticing men with their short skirts and cleavage. Some are saying that while the Sheikh’s comments are abhorrent, he has a point about covering up! Has the world gone mad? Are people confused or what?

  10. Howie Says:

    Hmm-

    Is this the guy in the picture’s idea of getting a little pussy?

  11. Shinto Says:

    He’s right.

    All muslim men are like stray cats. incapable of controlling themselves and have a rapist mentality. I hope there are some big dogs out there to eat these Stray Cats.

  12. HeiGou Says:

    Howie Says:”Is this the guy in the picture’s idea of getting a little pussy?”

    Isn’t it Sunna to shave them first? Either way I’d be worried if I were that cat.

  13. Smarty Says:

    The whites that are actually trying to appease this guy just show their cowardice. The same liberals who support lowering age of consent, support repealing adultry laws, support trying to marginalize marriage, who are rabid in their support of premarital sex and cohabitation would not say these things to appease muslims except for cowardice. It is time to expose them as cowards, and look at their other stances in view of that.

    Would rather have the cat and his relations living near me than the other chap and his brethren.
