The peace of Allah upon you, brother - and fuck you, sister!
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? The uncovered meat is the problem.
The man who said this, Australia’s top Muslim cleric Sheik al-Hilai, resigned this week.
Good news? Well, only marginally so.
He made this not-so-veiled apology for rapists a year ago - and he wasn’t cautioned, suspended or fired by the people who’d hired him. (The latter, quite predictably, claiming that the Sheik’s words were taken out of context. Well, why not - let’s give the poor guy the benefit of the doubt: I’m sure he has nothing against cats, really.)
Nor could the Australian government, in fact, be bothered enough to prosecute or deport him. So, in the end it was this mad mullah’s decision to stay on or, as it happened, to quit.
That in itself is a victory for bigotry, intolerance and barbarism - and yet another stupendously cowardly defeat for both the so-called civilized West as the craven forces of a mostly mythical moderate Islam.
To add insult to obscenity: announcing his resignation the Sheik, who is, amongst other disgusting things, also a Holocaust denier, had the appalling gall to ask the Council of Muslims to appoint a follower of his choosing.
The Council, of course, kindly obliged.
