THE AUSTRALIAN: After years of vitriol, it's time for a change
MUSLIMS in Australia deserve much better than Taj Din al-Hilali, and so it is with a profound sense of relief that we note that his inglorious reign as grand mufti of Australia and New Zealand has finally come to an end. After two decades of his virulent anti-Semitism, support for suicide bombers and offensive misogyny, the mufti has declined an invitation from the Australian National Imams Council to be reappointed. Sheik Hilali has done great damage to the reputation of Muslims in Australia and it is a disgrace that he continued to receive the council's endorsement despite the embarrassment and anger he caused the Australian community, both Muslim and non-Muslim.
