Sheik Taj El-Din Hilaly: Australia's most famous Muslim cleric dies
DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA ^ | 5 October 2023 | CHARLOTTE KARP

Posted on 10/06/2023 7:17:53 PM PDT by george76

One of Australia's best known Muslim clerics - known for his share of controversies - has died in Egypt at 82, with members of the local Islamic community hailing him as an Australian icon.

...

He died just after he finished a pilgrimage to Mecca, called Umrah.

...

He was considered one of the most controversial figures in Australia in the early 2000s after making a series of contentious remarks - including a comment about 'uncovered meat' that sparked a national furore.

...

Hilaly's controversies in the public eye are well documented. In October 2006, he sparked a firestorm after comparing women who did not cover up their skin to 'uncovered meat' left to be eaten by cats.

'If you take out uncovered meat and place it outside on the street, or in the garden or in the park, or in the backyard without a cover, and the cats come and eat it ... whose fault is it, the cats' or the uncovered meat?' Hilaly said in a Ramadan sermon.

'The uncovered meat is the problem. If she was in her room, in her home, in her hijab, no problem would have occurred.'

...

Two years earlier, in 2004, a sermon he gave at a mosque in Lebanon included comments that appeared to be in support of the attack on the World Trade Centre.

'September 11 is God's work against oppressors,'

...

In 2005, he was named 'Muslim man of the year' at the Australian Muslim Achievement Awards.

Yup. That there is proof that the real Muzzies will assimliate if only the West would cooperate more -- and "submit." Which is of course the name of that religion.... submission.

Proof that liberals do not care about women despite constantly proclaiming belief in “feminism” (while simultaneously importing millions of these islamic rapists and women abusers) - the left is simply using any means necessary to break apart families, destabilize societies, turn women against men - all because they are demonic and hate Christianity and Jesus with a satanic hatred. And so they want Western man genocided and Christianity eradicated through multiculturalism / open borders / diversity.

Maybe this will settle down the ragheads down under. They have been causing trouble.

I think I had his rookie card in the Topps “Most Famous Australian Muslim Clerics” series. I wonder what it’s worth now.
