Jihad hymn in youth group's soccer video
A VIDEO posted on a hardline Islamic website to promote a soccer tournament in western Sydney has outraged Muslim leaders by featuring an Arabic song often used by al-Qa'ida to promote jihad.The song calls on militants to "exterminate" non-believers and make them "hear the tunes of death". The video is used by the Global Islamic Youth Centre, headed by radical cleric Faiz Mohamad, who has praised jihadists and compared Jews to pigs. It plays the jihad tune, which also says "we shall go to heaven fearing no death", to images of local and international soccer players displaying their skills. Bomb explosions and missiles launching form part of the music in the clip promoting the Liverpool Youth Cup. "With the swords we shall exterminate the infidels and death is the desire of the pure," one translated verse says. "With jihad the banners of the evident victory shall rise high. "We shall go to heaven fearing no death. We shall not waver ... we are the cubs of the victorious conquerors." Senior Muslim leader Ameer Ali attacked the seemingly "hidden agenda" of the video, which was pulled down by GIYC yesterday afternoon following The Weekend Australian's inquiry. "I'm worried and I am concerned there is a hidden message behind this soccer tournament (promotion)," said the former chairman of John Howard's Muslim reference board. Link |
Interesting isn't it?? With all the fuss radical cleric Faiz Mohamad has caused, the Muslim Community still back pedals and denies and knowledge of his actions. They KNOW that this man openly supports terrorism and while they don't openly support him and his actions, by not coming forward and standing against him they are in fact, condoning his stand.
If indeed the Australian Muslim Community want to live side by side with Australians it is time for them to reject the likes of Faiz Mohamad and Sheikh Al Hilali and appoint reponsible leaders to their positions.
This man has access to young boys and men who can easily be manipulted to his cause. While this is of concern to many Australian Muslims, still nothing is being done. They need to be completely removed from positions of power so that they can no longer harm the reputation of the Australian Muslim Community.
