Good for a laugh- Hilaly
Sheik Hilaly- HAHAAustralians should start treating controversial Muslim cleric Sheik Taj el-Din al Hilaly as "a joke", Prime Minister John Howard says.
Mr Howard also told Southern Cross Broadcasting today the sheik should be removed from his position because he brought ridicule upon the Islamic community.
The prime minister said he was untroubled by comments, attributed to the mufti in The Australian newspaper, in which the sheik said he respected Australian values more than the prime minister.
"Well, I'm tempted to say we should start treating the man as a joke and in relation to his comments about me, well I've been insulted by experts so I'm rather untroubled by them," Mr Howard said.
"But there is still a serious issue with this man - he's still holding a position of some influence and responsibility in the Islamic community and it remains important, as I've said repeatedly, for that community to remove him from any position of influence in their own interests because he is bringing ridicule upon them and I don't like that occurring."
The sheik told The Australian he had spent 50 years promoting peace and accused the prime minister of running a dictatorship.
"It's a disgrace for the leader of a democratic country to be picking on religious people, especially one who is practising a form of dictatorship that could almost be Saddam Hussein-like," Sheik Alhilali was quoted as saying.
"I respect Australian values more than he does."
Our forefathers are surely laughing, or crying, right now over how we've obsequiously welcomed these conceited people to our shores and given them innumerable concessions and entitlements, even as they disparage, mock, and kill us.

Perhaps this is a good reason to leave him where he is and ridicule him as often as possible.
A good, old fashioned beating would teach this clown some REAL respect...
Once he is gone there are still many more radicals in Oz to take his place.
"Perhaps this is a good reason to leave him where he is and ridicule him as often as possible."
Which is a fine idea--except that the media don't ridicule the creep.
They give the bastard air-time and treat his idiotic spoutings as "news".
