BE NICE TO FIREBRANDS

The Australian’s Martin Chulov reports:

Australia’s most influential firebrand cleric feels like an alien in his own country.

If even our beloved influential firebrand clerics feel alienated, well, we’ve clearly failed as a nation. Further into the piece, Chulov mentions Sheik Feiz Mohamed’s “experience two years ago when he linked a woman’s dress sense to her risk of being raped”, which is a gentle way of putting it. The Sheik actually said:

Every minute in the world a woman is raped, and she has no one to blame but herself, for she has displayed her beauty to the whole world. Strapless, backless, sleeveless - they are nothing but satanical.

And he feels like an alien? Can’t imagine why.

  1. Star Trek Enterprise foresaw a lot of this kind of interaction with Aliens. For every planet like Risa, there’s one full of sour-faced overdressed war-mongers, like Romulus.

  2. “There are about seven or eight families who have left in the last few months and many more who are planning to go.”

    Comment hardly necessary.

  4. Humanity has actually been through something like this before. We came up against something so alien and unable to assimilate that we eventually had to just wipe it out.

    the muslim is nothing but the latest Neanderthal.

    Unwilling or unable to adapt. Unable or unwilling to peacefully coexist. Unable or unwilling to advance culturally beyond the lowest form of society imaginable.

    muslim = Neanderthal.

    Sending the muslim off to the same dead-enders heap of memory and legend as the Neanderthal would be a big first step in actually doing that whole “peace on earth” thing that idiots, liberals and beauty pageant contestants are so fond of.

  5. He feels like an alien in Lebanon?

    I’m going to go right out on a racist limb here and say I hope this worthless muslim fuck goes right the fuck back to whatever degenerate muslim backwater will take him and stays the fuck there along with his seven wives and nine hundred children. FUCK HIM AND HIS HURT FEELINGS.

    But of course he’ll be back. It’d take a team of wild horses to drag this particular species of parasite off our throats. This is all just typical, idiotic Arabic rhetoric, these people don’t expect to be taken seriously at anything they say since in the middle east words mean nothing and promises less than nothing.

    But you never know, maybe we’ll catch a break and this human cockroach will stay where he belongs.

  6. Lets just hope that word doesn’t leak out about how much help he’s been to western intelligence in tracking and killing jihadi and jihadi financial operations.

    That could be really bad if the terrorists were able to learn from a leak that this guy has been one of the best sources available for the last few years.

  7. Actually, grimmy, I think you make an interesting point there - I’ve long thought that the only way to fight a group like al-Qaeda (I don’t mean defeating extremists, I’m talking specifically the disparate cells of aQ) is to fight a dirty war against them, like the Brits did with the IRA. Do whatever you can to sow distrust amongst the members - infiltrate the group, arrest members and force them to betray their colleagues, whatever it takes.

    If you can destroy the trust within the cells, then the group will be crippled.

    I understand that the reporter travelled all the way to north Lebanon for this interview in a vehicle with a flat tire.

    The reporter was Martin Chulov. I understand en route to the interview, his car was also attacked by Israeli rockets, fired from a drone helicopter fighter-jet. The rockets passed through the air-conditioning, poked him in the eye and then exited the vehicle via the sunroof, closing the hole behind it and leaving no evidence.

    Human Rights Watch are outraged.

    Apparently an Australian muzzie has been killed fighting for the Somali version of the Taliban in Somalia.

    Guess he did just not get the whole religion of peace harmless-fluffy-muzzie memo, eh Marty?

    The Chulov article, like its author, was asinine and risible.

  21. Chulov is a disgrace.
    “A dangerous divide is forcing Australian Muslims to abandon their homes, says Sydney cleric Feiz Mohamed in Lebanon reports Middle East correspondent Martin Chulov.”
    A Paul Sheehan article offered some chilling anecdotes in August 2006, about the treatment given to non-muslims in some suburbs:
    A friend of mine, Jenny D, used to live in Lakemba. She began receiving insults from people in the street, usually Muslim women wearing headscarves, and sometimes Muslim men. If she wore a short skirt, she could expect abuse or comment. She left Lakemba. Soon after, I moved to America, stayed away for 10 years, and thought nothing more of her story. But after I came back to Sydney I found Jenny’s experience had been part of a larger pattern.
    One particularly strong witness to this pattern was Judith, who managed an agency helping war widows, because she encountered “dozens” of cases where people were harassed by Muslim neighbours who wanted them gone. “It was common,” she told me. “A lot of these ladies couldn’t take it and moved out. It happened in Campsie, Belmore, Lakemba, Bankstown, Punchbowl ...
    “It was everything ... throwing rubbish over the fence, screaming abuse, blocking the driveway, knocking fences down. One guy would throw coffee grains on the windows and bottles on the roof late at night ... I confronted some of them, and the men would call me a lot of names, mostly in Arabic.”

    Link
    Shame on you, Martin. The excusionist behaviour is phase one in rendering these suburbs no-go areas. You are an accomplice.

    It’s not the first time either.  A few years back, Chulov and Rory Callinan used the front page of The Australian to assist Al-Qaeda in it’s propaganda campaign regarding the treament of it’s prisoners in coalition custody.  The article looked it’d been copied directly from an Al-Qaeda training manual.

    Well there is an alternative to displaying her beauty to the whole world. Doesn’t look like much fun though.

    I don’t know if this video is for real, but it demonstrates some of the restrictions these women live with. I don’t think it’s “funny”. More like outrageous and tragic.

  34. If Feiz is an alien, he might be able to explain to Chulov what hit that ambulance.

    A death ray maybe. They leave perfectly round holes and a rusty residue. They also cauterise severed limbs and create a vacuum that causes ambulances to implode. It also explains the holes drilled in the road. Death rays vaporise bitumen and soil, which is why there was no raised edges on the holes.

    Hezbollah might have Allah on its side but Israel has the Vogon Destuctor Fleet.

  38. Feiz left for Lebanon just before two events that profoundly influenced some Australians’ views of Islam - the mass counter-terrorism raids that netted 23 people in Sydney and Melbourne in November 2005 and the ugly race riots at Cronulla.

    Surely Bali,Madrid,London,9-11,pack rapes,suicide bombers and beheadings ‘profoundly influenced’ australians’ views on islam long before ET went home.

  39. There’s that cliché again, “firebrand cleric”. It’s MSM code for “upwardly mobile suburban warlord wannabe”.

    “We are just human beings. I am not saying Australia is negative or not good, I am saying it has changed.

    Gee, too bad. But the newly alienated Sheik Feiz Mohamed was unlikely to feel at home and comfy in Australia for a while yet, anyway. At least, not until the existing Mohammedan colonial outposts had grown a whole lot larger in most cities, the people were struck with fear and all host-nation resistance was suitably suppressed.

    How frustrating it must be for him. A few short years ago it was such an easygoing and accepting country. Now… that pesky ASIO and those “hundreds” of rude infidel stares in airports and restaurants!

  42. Aren’t we all misreading the cleric.

    He, if I’m not mistaken is from one of those distant tribes….the Klingons…something like that.

    As a Klingon he feels that he must cling on to his Australian citizenship while bemoaning everything about the place.

    Perhaps we might make him feel more welcome if we cloaked like they used to do in Star Trek.

    Remember Worf?

    “Ach pach Captain Pickard, the Klingon vessel has cloaked…”

    “Cloaked”? could either mean he learned Klingon at Beijing Uni and the vessel was destroyed or, more likely, the Klingon ship was stealthy….but I digress….

    Isn’t that what the cleric is in fact requesting ie that women be cloaked?

    Lets try it. If he’s happy, there you are.

    If not we have the cleric spayed and if he’s still moaning I have a vet whose happy to put him down.

    I mean from everything I’m hearing he’s reached the end of his rope….perhaps he should reach the end of ours….

    Taunters apply within…

  56. This past week a child died in a car during the extremely intense heat that Victoria was experiencing.
    The child a 2 year old girl was able to ‘wander’ out of the house in intense heat, open the door of a car parked in full sun and the pull the car door closed from the inside and then died whilst mother unpacking the groceries!! Daddy was overseas in Africa with other daughter ‘visiting’ relatives? I want to know if they are receiving Social security, if the father took his daughter overseas for genital mutilation and the mother brought to account TO EXPLAIN how her child could not be noticed missing for the length of time it took for her to die. Little children do not tend to wander back to a very hot car nor have the energy in such heat nor incentive. Saw the mother in full burqha screaming about what an angel the child was-unable of course to see her facial expressions.
    My point is that this tragic death is very suspect and I am amaxed how little has been written so far with regard to this. Similar cases incolving mothers of western extraction or Asian -as in Chinese/Vietamese get very much more investigative coverage.

    Daughters are not prized in some quarters and it is not uncommon for ‘accidents’ to befall them.

    I just hope that this mother is unmasked and brought to account- because the whole story STINKS /does not add up. 

    The first thing one does after shopping would be to close the door on such a hot day and 2 year old children cannot open a door without dragging a chair to the door.

    I suspect the child was left in the car whilst mother was either gossiping or putting away the groceries- if she can be believed.

    I am so enraged that any child could suffer this way. So much is written and broadcast of this very thing and this Muslim woman could speak English very well and sounded as if born here.    1

  57. #57.Hillyminx, I don’t know if you have children, but as the mother of a four-year old I’m going to jump on you now.

    When my daugher was, 2 she wrote off the car because I looked away for a moment. She got a fright, as did I, so all was well.

    At that age, kids are into everything, and it’s difficult to keep tabs on one, let alone four as this mother apparently has.

    In this case, I believe her religion as sweet fark all to do with anything, and it’s a tragic accident.

    They happen, and it is inconceivable to imagine what she is currently going through without you adding to this.

    With respect to the child getting into the car and locking herself in, again, it happens. At least the mother was not down at the pokies happy to leave her kids to fry as has happened in the past here.

    With regards to the father being overseas and how motives for being there, that ultimately is irrelevant.

    The father was not there, the mother had other children to deal with and one was out of sight for long enough to put herself in mortal danger.

    I doubt it was due to a lack of concern for the well-being of the child, and as an infidel I find your innuendo inappropriate and offensive.

  58. Hillyminx: kids getting locked in hot cars and dying happens all too frequently here in Florida. All it takes is a moment of absent-mindedness on the parents’ part (or the single-minded self-destructiveness of an ambulatory toddler) and the kid is gone.

    Another thing—people don’t seem to grasp just how hot it can get inside a car, which is nothing but a metal can, when the temperature is above 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat and sun are not your friends—they can kill. That’s why they’ll ticket you here if they see you leave your dog or kids in the car while you run into the store “for just a couple of things.”

    I am a mother also and have been caring for children professionally for the best part of 40 years Iam very well aware of what chidren can get up to- but to exit the house in 40c house open a car door with burning hot handles at 2 years of age is quite an achievement-and waht ever you may say it still gets down to carelessness. I was always acusde of worrying too much by a relative when our children were young- guess waht her relaxed attitude led to her backing ocer her childs skull.

    WE ARE WARNED DAILY on and in the media about our responsibilities with regards to children & hot cars cars in the hot weather.Ditto swimming pools.

    If a child care worker or a family day care worker used your excuses they would be lynched.

    My opinion on childcare workers is that they have one of the most thankless tasks in the world, and you should be paid at least as much as John Howard at times for the crap you guys have to deal with.

    There is a relaxed attitude and then there is stupidity.

    Yes childcare and family daycare workers would be lynched, but that doesn’t mean I agree with that attitude, and it doesn’t make it right.

    The problem lies with this culture of blame, and sometimes, things. just. happen.

  64. John’s comment following Dale’s article sums this sort of drivel up best - “when did tv shows become a measure of culture?”

  66. Well, if the Fizz has gone out of Sheik Mohammed, that’s good for Australia; he should feel alienated for the repulsive views he has expressed. Not like in Merrie England, where the native saxons are the ones being made to feel like aliens.

    Another member of the Marine family.

    Article…Iraq: Friends at War…McCain and Hagel.

    McCain can sound a little matter-of-fact about sending young people off to combat, but he marches to a different drummer than most Americans. His 18-year-old son Jimmy, a newly enlisted Marine, may soon be deployed to Iraq, the fourth-generation McCain to go to war.

  68. #68 Mio Cid,
    In the last century the McCain family has produced a three-star, a four-star, and a two-star.  Let’s hope young Jim McCain becomes Commandant one day, or perhaps Sergeant Major of the Corps.

    GEE that story about the london tube really makes your blood boil. Not only was the poor guy humilialted and bullied but told that if he lodged a complaint he would possibly face prosecution under English Law!
    wait till this starts happening in Austrlia, with Australian infidel old ladies being pushed off the Buses for example.

    Let’s hope young Jim McCain becomes Commandant one day, or perhaps Sergeant Major of the Corps.

    The young man certainly could achieve, definitely has the bloodline. Wish him the best, as all of our young men and women, in the military.

    Have to hand it to the elder McCain. Especially after all he went through. He easily could have stomped his foot, thrown his considerable political weight and had this stopped and sent the young man off to Stanford. But as you noted the family history, it’s definitely ‘in the blood’.

  73. KEYSER TRAD PRESS CONFERENCE

    Hello everyone, and again welcome to Lakemba. Before we start I have a small request of you journos that I hope will be received in the manner in which it is intended.

    As you can see, the walls of this building we are in, are made of “Staqqiya Panelling”. The wisdom of Islamic science has revealed to us that a compound in the original manufacture, spelt “Abdul-Shiite”but pronounced with a silent A and D, causes breast cancer.

    Therefore, in the interests of health and safety and also because Islam puts women on a pedestal, we must insist that all the females claiming to be journos go into the other room and change into the full body and face protective coverings we have provided.

    You may then return and monitor the conference from within that glass booth over there. Oh, and one other thing, apparently the carpet in that booth causes testicular cancer so I’m afraid it’s ladies only in there.

    So in all future conferences please conform to these arrangements for your own safety. Fear not, these arrangements are only temporary. In the near future we hope to have permanently solved the problem.

    Now, enough about Allah’s neccessities, let’s get down to business.

    I have been asked by the Mufti of Ausrabia to make a public comment concerning Mr Martin Chulov’s recent comments.

    The Mufti would like to make it clear that although he supports Mr Chulov’s right to free speech in accordance with the limits of Sharia, he does not endorse, condone or agree with Mr Martin Chulov.

    The Mufti, and not that upstart Feiz Mohamed, is Ausrabia’s most influential firebrand cleric.

    Furthermore, that such a claim could be made in Ausrabia’s mainstream media, has alarmed and concerned the Mufti. As a result, he has decided that, in order to clearly demonstrate his true position in our society, there will be no more mister nice guy.

    As for feeling alienated, the Mufti suggests to Feiz Mohamed to try and follow the Mufti’s examples to fit in more with Ausrabian values. For example, on what unbelievers mistakenly call New Years Eve (after all it’s actually still 1427), the Mufti went to see the fireworks.

    To act more Ausrabian, he spoke harshly to an asian person in the crowd who had an american accent. Specifically, he made ironic jokes concerning their race. What could be more Aussie than that? Don’t we all hate the chinese? And then half an hour later you feel like you need to hate another one?

    Now to be fair, the person was american, female, uncovered like catmeat and in a state of unbelief, so surely it was not completely over the top?

    Anyhow, for some strange reason the crowd did not join him in this innocent pursuit and she attacked him. Now it was the Mufti’s turn to be in a state of unbelief. For myself, I nearly shit myself laughing - but don’t let him know that or I’m out of a job.

    Anyhow that’s it for today, please remember that your cars outside are parked on private property and that unless you depart with a male driving, we will not unlock the gates - can’t get much fairer than that.

  74. Article pointed to by Paco:

    Suicide by liberalism

    Naturally assuming I was a good person and axiomatically a pacifist, my rude awakening came during Jimmy Carter’s presidency, particularly its nadir, the Iranian Hostage ‘Crisis’.

    Weak-willed westerners handing jars of Vaseline to the enemy in the hope it won’t hurt too much. That’s what seems to be happening now.

    While Anglosphere leaders have changed for the better, the Disappearing Spine Syndrome seems to have infected significent elements of the populace.
