Without being overly paranoid we must be mindful of the fact that , unfortunately , the agents of Allah are in all continents and not all of them have been taking their medication. So becoming publicly known for stating the obvious while very brave , has its pitfalls. Ask Ayaan Hirshi Ali , Geert Wilders, Salman Rushdie and many, many others known and unknown. Unfortunately we can't ask other people like Theo van Gogh etc who was somehow able to undermine the integrated and healthy self-image of his Islamic assailant, despite never having met him.

"...and whilst your response to my "Prophet of Doom" posting was not concerned with Sam's original question about Islamic violence and "ethnic cleansing," "

yes - sorry , I had to slot it in under that heading but there was a connection with violence - shown in the easily provoked sheik's hostile reaction to the reporter's clear question. And also his 'violence' towards decency - mischieviously and fraudulently using police services to investigate a crime he himself had perpetrated to falsely accuse members of his cult of acts they did not commit.

"it was very instructive to see Sheikh Taj Din al-Hilali of the Lakemba mosque in Sydney's south side lying through his teeth, thank you for posting that, and I reciprocate with several examples of other Muslim clerics/preachers and their unsavoury antics."

Ah, I see his eminence's fame is widespread.
It certainly is in Egypt where he was convicted of smuggling antiquities.

He is well known in Australia for saying that the jail sentences handed out here to the Lebanese muslim perpetrators of a particularly vicious gang rape were too harsh. And that western women were uncovered pieces of meat and it's all their fault if they get raped.

One of his acolytes , Kaysar Trad, the Australian born head of the former 'Lebanese Muslim Friendship Society' was on record as saying Australia should be under sharia law, amongst many other things. It's actually would be quite entertaining if it weren't so serious.

http://tinyurl.com/cbocgf & http://tinyurl.com/cexujv as horrific as they are , are just 2 examples in a myrad of others occurring all around the world. Islamic preachers are the channels of so much hatred , misunderstanding and confusion - the cause of it is the 'plasticity' of their scriptures . They can be pretty much construed in any way they like to suit their religio/political ends.

I find it amazing that such a consistent response is given by so many people from so many backgrounds, races, cultures and educational levels on how they find Islam and Muslims.

It's also amazing that quite apart from the fabulous (using the word in its real sense) nature of their beliefs, Muslims can't see the sickness that their 'religion' leads to - in so many arenas. Whether that be human rights in general, women's rights more specifically e.g. to choose who they want to marry and what they want to wear and when, whom they wish to speak to; the rights of Jews to live in peace; the rights of those of other beliefs (whatever those beliefs may be) to hold those beliefs;

Even a motion to make it an offence to criticise Islam was put forward at the UN - i.e. stifling the right to freedom of speech and expression of ideas.

What to do? Continue to call it as you see it.
