As for my favorite description, it’s a toss-up between “The women of Paradise are pure, unblemished, menstruation-free, free of feces, urine, phlegm, children” and “Each one of them is so beautiful that you can see the bone marrow through the delicate flesh on their legs.”

Or should that be of “kicking in a door at his own mosque and making a false claim of vandalism” fame (hat tip: Tim Blair).

Australia’s most controversial sheik, Taj Din al-Hilali, has been caught on videotape kicking in a door at his own mosque before calling police to report an act of vandalism.

The head imam at the Lakemba mosque, who caused outrage in 2006 by comparing scantily clad women to uncovered meat, was shown on a CCTV security tape kicking open the door just minutes before reporting the incident.

The Nine Network’s A Current Affair last night broadcast the videotape from March 9, showing the incident, which Sheik Hilali initially denied.

“There is a trick in this camera. There is a trick in this film,” he told ACA.

Zionist Camera of Death perhaps^TM?

But in a letter sent by Sheik Hilali’s lawyers to ACA yesterday, he admitted kicking the door, saying the damage had already been done to the door before he kicked it.

“What he did do was to kick open a door to the mosque that had already been damaged by others in order to gain entry to it,” the letter said.

Worst. Excuse. Ever?

Lebanese Muslim Association president Shawky Kassir said they had called the police “for a little problem, but we have fixed (it) and everything is under control”.

Unless they’ve knocked off Hilali, I would suggest they haven’t fixed the problem.

The footage shows four young men locking the door behind them at 10.28pm.

Nine minutes later, Sheik Hilali checks the lock and pushes on the top of the door, bending it on its hinges. After checking the corridor, he disappears from view before rushing towards it and kicking it open at 10.46pm.

It is understood the name of the suspected culprit was put forward to NSW police, but it is not known if he was interviewed by the authorities.

A NSW Police media spokesperson said they started to investigate the matter but three days later were told by a mosque official that he did not wish to take the matter any further.

“The matter remains under investigation. Further senior members of the local community will be consulted to discuss the incident.”

Update: Here’s the Current Affair treatment of the story, including the offending footage of Hilali practicing his soccer skills on the door.

Update: Of course, this is not the first time Hilali has shown his violent side.

b) Standup comedian

c) Circus performer

d) Airport baggage handler

And the answer is…

As if you didn’t guess.

A Muslim extremist who works as a baggage handler at Luton Airport had his security pass suspended today after it was revealed he took part in a protest hurling abuse at British troops.

Jalal Ahmed was among the 20-strong group of extremists protesting when the Royal Anglian Regiment returned home from Iraq earlier this week.

During their homecoming parade, he was spotted clutching a banner proclaiming: ‘Anglian soldiers: Butchers of Basra’.

After he was revealed to be part of the hate-filled demonstration, his pass allowing him to go airside and work at the airport was revoked.

Ahmed, who is in his twenties and lives in Luton, works on a casual basis for Menzies Aviation, which provides baggage handling at the airport for easyJet and other airlines.

He is believed to have worked there during peak periods over the past two years and would have had access to secure areas of the site.

The Muslim, who is in his early 20s, is said to have once joked he was the nephew of Osama bin Laden and was also allegedly questioned over pictures of passenger jets.

He told officers he was interested in planes and no further action was taken.

John Menzies plc said he had passed all criminal and security checks but that his job would now be reviewed in light of his involvement in the protest on Tuesday.

‘All employees are subject to a five year criminal record check and airport authority checks before they can be given an airside pass to work on the airport, ‘ a spokesman said.

‘Jalal Ahmed passed these checks. We are now working with the airport authority to review the current position.’

The company insisted Ahmed would have been supervised at all times as he worked at the airport, where he is not a full-time employee.

Luton Borough Council, which owns the airport, said: ‘The Council has been assured that all employees at the Airport receive criminal record and security checks. We are unable to comment on individuals.

‘The issue of security is taken very seriously by the Council and the Airport Company.’

Budget airline easyJet, which is the main operator at Luton, made it clear Ahmed was not employed directly by them.

A spokesman said: ‘We are obviously working with his employers. We are working with Special Branch and we are aware his airside pass has been temporarily suspended.’

Update:  Also from the Britain is a Lost Cause department:

Britain on Thursday approved the visit to the country of Hizbullah official Ibrahim Moussawi to address a seminar on political Islam at the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies.

The March 25 trip will mark the first official visit of a Hizbullah representative to the UK since the European boycott of the guerrilla group was lifted in 2005.

Conservative think tank, The Center for Social Cohesion (CSC), wrote to Home Secretary Jaqui Smith to protest the decision, and said it would instruct lawyers to seek an arrest warrant for Moussawi if he is allowed into the country.

CSC director Douglas Murray said the Home Office should apply its policy of banning entry to those who “stir up tension and provoke others to violence,” which was recently used to bar the Dutch lawmaker and Islam critic Geert Wilders.

Murray expressed concern that the government “finds it acceptable that an individual who incites hatred against the Jewish people and of Israelis should be permitted to enter.”

CSC researcher Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens called Moussawi “a member of a terrorist group that is ideologically devoted to the destruction of Israel and the extermination of Jews worldwide; a group which murders political opponents as a matter of policy and terrorizes members of the Lebanese population who dare to defy them.”

The decision to approve Moussawi’s entry comes a week after Bill Rammell, the Foreign Office minister for the Middle East, told the British Parliament that his government would hold discussions with Hizbullah’s political wing.

Rammell said that decision was made “in the light of more positive developments in Lebanon, and the formation of the national unity government in which Hizbullah is participating.”

Heck, watch it anyway.

Meanwhile, it looks like the accused hired Lionel Hutz as his defense lawyer.

“It’s not an issue in this case,” said Harrington, who described the burly businessman as almost in shock.

“He has an almost blunted affect. He’s having difficulty coping with this,” the lawyer said.

Austria strongly refuted on Wednesday accusations by abductors of two German hostages in Iraq that the European country was anti-Islamic.

Austrian Foreign Minister  Ursula Plassnik stated her country rejects such accusations, noting that just six months ago, while heading the EU, Austria had hosted an international conference on Islam at a time when the issue of cartoons insulting the Prophet Mohammad was still being debated.

Moreover, she noted her country had officially recognized Islam as a state religion in 1912.

The minister’s statement came in response to a taped statement by kidnappers of two Germans in Iraq, who accused Austria of being hostile to Islam and Muslims.

February 2009:

Social Democrat (SPÖ) Education Minister Claudia Schmied has banned a Muslim man from teaching his religion at a Vienna secondary school after he distributed anti-Semitic leaflets to pupils.

Schmied ordered the city school council today (Thurs) to take such action against the man, who had been teaching at the Cooperative Secondary School (KMS) on Brüßlgasse in Wien-Ottakring district. She said “delay would be dangerous.”

The reason for the ban is the man’s behaviour. He reportedly distributed anti-Semitic leaflets to his students a few days ago. The leaflets contained a list of allegedly “Jewish” firms from which, the man told the students, they should not buy anything.

Teachers of religion are usually appointed and removed by their respective religious associations, but Schmied said the law on religion provided for the minister of education’s intervention in cases in which such teachers violated their legal obligations.

Allowing the man to continue to teach, the minister said, would have caused “serious damage to the interests of the school and the students.”

Schmied’s intervention comes in the wake of a study concluding Islamic instruction in Austria has to change to comply with modern standards.

Mouhanad Khorchide is a professor of the sociology of religion at the Islamic Religion and Pedagogical Institute at Vienna University and the author of the new study, “Islamic religious instruction between integration and a parallel society.”

Khorchide’s study concludes Muslim teachers in Austria have largely anti-democratic beliefs and one in five is “fanatical”.

Khorchide, himself a Muslim, said 22.6 per cent of the 210 Muslim teachers he had surveyed had “fanatical attitudes” and 21.9 per cent rejected democracy as incompatible with Islam.

The older the teacher, Khorchide said, the more likely he was to reject the principle of the rule of law.

According to Vienna weekly “Falter”, the study claimed 8.5 per cent of the Muslim teachers said it was understandable for violence to be used to spread Islam, 28.4 per cent said there was a contradiction in being both a Muslim and a European, and 44 per cent said they had to make their students understand they were better than non-Muslims.

Yep. There is clearly a lot of Muslim hatred in Austria.

As in hatred by Muslims.

Outspoken Islamic cleric Abu Hamza has branded Australians as boozers who are hooked on gambling and prostitution.

In another sermon broadcast over the internet, the Coburg cleric urged followers to spread the word of Islam to save Australians.

“They think happiness can be achieved by being intoxicated, by going to the casino and blowing your money away, by going from one prostitute to the other,” he said.

“They don’t know what life is all about, that’s why they are on the booze, why they are binge drinking . . . why unfortunately suicide has skyrocketed, murder, anxiety and depression.”

You can see the offending sermon in the Herald Sun report only. That’s because this is what greeted me when I looked in YouTube to find the video:

Change of heart, or threatened with beating by toothbrush?

As for the speech itself, I did not find it nearly as offensive as the first. Sure, he is being judgmental, but I suspect he did not mean that all Australians are prostitute-visiting boozers. I think he was more attacking the idea of a godless society, but he did it in a way guaranteed to offend the very society which affords him the freedom to espouse his views and put his foot in his mouth.

Meanwhile, to those who claimed in the comments to my last post that there was nothing offensive to women in his marriage sermon, some Muslim women disagree.

His comments on the treatment of women have been condemned by the Islamic Women’s Welfare Council of Victoria and Muslim community leaders, including Yasser Soliman.

“To claim this is Islamic, or that the Koran forces wives to do things such as (these) lectures suggest, is quite insulting to most of the Muslim world,” Mr Soliman said.

Update: Yasser Soliman, executive director of Diversity Connect International and a past president of the Islamic Council of Victoria, has repudiated Hamza’s marriage comments, and even continued the damage control by holding a liveblogging session.

Update: The video is now on YouTube.

Apparently, marriage is so important, that the husband can hit his wife and force her to have sex with him.

He’s now claiming he has been taken out of context and that he was being “metaphorical.”

Hmm..why does this all sound so familar?

If anyone has the time, you can view his entire speech here to see if he is telling the truth, or – as I suspect -  full of Sheikh.

“Jeez, I’m… I don’t know, I just never got any kind of memo,” said Kasab. “The ironic thing is that just the other day, when we were ritually shaving our testicles for final martyrdom, a bunch of us were talking about how great and symbolic it would be if the American infidels would only elect an handsome, articulate young African-American infidel. That way we could just lay down the suicide belts and scimitars and suitcase nukes and finally get involved in the positive aspects of community activism, like raising awareness for breast cancer research. Look, I know it’s a cliche to point fingers at the IT department, but our email system really sucks. And it’s hard to find a decent wi-fi hot spot in Northwest Pakistan.”

I’ve been deeply affected by what has happened in Mumbai. First of all I’m a life loving human so on that level, as a real human (even one often falsely flagged as right wing) I can’t help being shocked even while knowing this will happen again and again. The cries of Moshe are just too much to take.

I’m posting this link to Iowahawk because it is damned clever satire and it so beautifully makes a simple point: its not about Bush, or Iraq or even Palestine or Kashmir. Its the Jihad. The same 1400 year Jihad all infidels are condemned to fight for ever by the words and deeds of Muhammad as reported and believed by (presently) more than a billion Muslims.

It shows no sign of stopping anytime soon, though it could be made slightly better if we fought back with shows of strength and stopped paying them to kill us with our energy Jizya payments.

There is no reason to blame anybody or anything except the terrorists who commit these acts and the ideology disguised as a religion that commands them to do it. The fact that many Muslims don’t support violent Jihad is “nice” but its not enough. They should have to fight against their fellow Muslims or they too are supporters of the killers of pregnant mothers and little girls. Any support of the aims of Jihad (converting everyone to Islam) is equally repugnant.

And finally, if you’re interested in hearing a song about this (no, really) try listening to “It’s Just an Excuse” by Weapon of Musical Defense. You can listen to the whole song streaming on their new web site or buy their album. It might be something you can use to inform others if you’ve already understood this.
