Australia: Dissident Islamic Cleric to be Shunned
Here is how the Religion of Peace and Tolerance treats its members who dare to think. If Ameer Ali lived in an Islamic country, he would be killed: Islamic's prophet comments 'dangerous': cleric
AUSTRALIA'S most senior Islamic cleric has called for a Muslim leader to be ostracised over comments about the prophet Mohammed that he likened to Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses.Sheik Taj al-Din al-Hilaly yesterday accused the chairman of John Howard's Islamic reference board, Ameer Ali, of selling out his religion to gain the support and financial backing of Muslim critics.
Dr Ali said in The Australian yesterday that Mohammed had flaws, and criticised Muslims who blindly follow the faith and failed to question the veracity of the Koran.
Sheik Hilaly, the head of Lakemba Mosque in Sydney's southwest, said Dr Ali's "defamatory" remarks were akin to those that in 1989 earned Rushdie a fatwa from Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini.[..]
A note: Don't be fooled by the comment that Muhammad was 'rebuked' by Allah. Allah rebuked him, for instance, when he agreed to stop having sex with his slave girl Mariyah; Muhammad was rebuked for not being lecherous enough!
