Recent coments by Sheikh Taj El Din Al Hilaly (often referred to in the Australian media as Mufti of Australia) have again caused a media and public furore.
Sheikh Al Hilaly has openly demonstrated on Egyptian television his incapacity to lead Australian Muslims.
Australian Muslims cannot allow this situation to continue. It is up to us to do something about it and to show the broader community that we are peaceful, law abiding and loyal Australians.
If we do nothing, we only have ourselves to blame.
PETITION
We, the undersigned Australian Muslims, reject comments made by Sheikh Taj El Din Hilaly.

We call upon the Australian media to desist in referring to Sheikh Hilaly as the leader of Australian Muslims.
We call upon the Australian National Imams Council to remove Sheikh Hilaly from office and to relinquish him of the title of Mufti of Australia.

Usual Suspect, isma3eeni. Great job on that petition but I have a question:
Is it ONLY and STRICTLY for Australian Muslims to sign or can other non-Australian Muslims sign it too? I wanna put it up on my blog and ask people to sign it.
Oh ya and what's your email address. Drop me something in my inbox. We've GOT to meet once you touch down in KL. Tamam?

I will definitely keep you all posted. I've contacted the Nat Council of Imams and they have promised to keep me updated.
Hi, Us/Su! Well done, well done. I have some Aussie Christian friends I will send this to to pass on to Muslim friends.
