Muslim group sets up panel to investigate sheikh's remarks
Australian Broadcasting Corporation ^ | 5 November 2006

The Lebanese Muslim Association (LMA) says an independent panel is being set up to investigate if comments made by Sydney cleric, Sheikh Taj el-Din Al Hilali, endorse rape.

Sheikh Al Hilali has been at the centre of controversy since comments he made suggested women who dressed immodestly were inviting sexual assault.

He says his comments have been taken out of context and will resign if an independent panel finds him guilty of endorsing rape.

LMA president Tom Zreika says a panel will be established to look at the matter.

"The process has to be conducted and it will be conducted," he said.

He has not confirmed a timeframe for the investigation.

Outside Lakemba Mosque in Sydney yesterday, Sheikh Al Hilali introduced Cindy Taylor, who said she travelled from Victoria to defend him because he has been misunderstood.

"People really need to have more of an open mind," she said.

Ms Taylor said she has been sexually assaulted twice and she understands what Sheikh Al Hilali tried to say in his sermon about women and rape.

She says he believes sexual assault is one of the worst crimes.

"His analogy certainly did not justify the act of rape," she said.
