In a Ramadan sermon that has outraged Muslim women leaders, Sydney-based Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali also alluded to the infamous Sydney gang rapes, suggesting the attackers were not entirely to blame.

Aussie mufti to women:
Hey, sorry about blaming you for your own rapes
Allahpundit
He’s just looking out for you, ladies.
If he’s guilty of anything, it’s of loving too much: Sheik Taj Aldin Alhilali apologized after The Australian detailed his comments, which compared women who do not wear Muslim headdresses to “uncovered meat” that attracts hungry animals, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Thursday. ...
“Protecting women’s honor” is virtually a science in some Muslim countries, which is one of the reasons why Wafa Sultan escaped to the west. JPost has an interview with her today about the state of feminism over there — and over here: Are Western feminists on your side? I have encountered Americans and Israelis who - when it comes to the rights of women in Arab countries - side with multiculturalism. Has this been your experience as well? ...

Islamic Advice from Imam Yahu al-Zirius
Spiritual Leader, Fostaz al-Vegimita Mosque

Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali of Mullagangabanga, NSW asks: Some of the cobbers at my local mosque spotted some sheilas who weren't wearing their hijabs, so they naturally had a go at raping them.

Of course, the crafty infidel will see this as a contradiction: ...

Bryan Preston
Nice fellow. Australia’s top mufti. Compared women to “meat” and said that when it comes to rape, it’s women’s fault. Apologized taqiyya-style, then came out to tell the world what he really thinks: AUSTRALIA’S leading Muslim cleric, Sheik Taj al-Din al-Hilaly, says he will only resign when the world is “clean of the White House”.
After emerging from Friday prayers at Lakemba Mosque today, Sheik Hilaly was asked by a media pack whether he would quit over a speech in which he said scantily-dressed women invited rape.
“After we clean the world of the White House first,” the sheik said. ...
