Aussie Sheik Feiz Mohamed
Back in October of 2006, we noted this speech given by “the highest Australian Islamic leader, Sheikh Taj Din Al” in which he elaborates on a metaphor in which “uncovered women” are “uncovered meat” and are thus responsible for rape.
Well, there’s more going on Down Under. Here’s a story from last week on Australian-born Sheik Feiz Mohamed, “Australian Muslim Cleric Sparks Outrage by Calling Jews ‘Pigs’ and Encouraging Jihad.” Read what this “cleric” wants to instill in children:
In that and another series called Signs of the Hour, made about four years ago, Sheik Feiz labelled Jews “pigs” and exhorted children to jihad.
“We want to have children and offer them as soldiers defending Islam,” he says. “Teach them this: there is nothing more beloved to me than wanting to die as a mujahid. Put in their soft, tender hearts the zeal of jihad and a love of martyrdom.”
Feiz later recanted a bit claiming, “The jihad I speak of is not one of violence.”
Yeah, riiiiight. He extols “to die as a mujahid” and proclaims,
“In our times it is the fear of death, the fear of sacrificing your finger, your toe, a drop of blood that is more honourable than anything else,” he says.
“Why? Because martyrdom to us is, is not as appealing to us, as it was to those ancestors, the great warriors … who lived around the best creature that walked the earth, Mohammed.”
and we’re supposed to believe that this is a metaphor for clean living?
We aren’t buying it, and we know our friends in Australia see clear through these guys.
