Police probe sheik’s DVDs

By Luke McIlveen, staff and wires

FEDERAL police are investigating whether an Australian Islamic leader has incited violence in a series of DVDs in which he calls on youngsters to give up their lives in jihad, and calling Jews pigs.

Sheik Feiz Mohammed’s comments in the DVDs called Death Series have brought widespread condemnation from politicians and community groups.

The Australian Federal Police said it was looking into the DVDs and whether the sheik’s comments breached sedition laws and incited violence.

If they did, the AFP would launch a full investigation and he could face charges.

…

[NSW Premier] Mr Iemma said he had called on the Attorney-General (Philip Ruddock) to do whatever was necessary to have Sheik Feiz Mohammed’s DVD withdrawn from sale.

“This DVD goes a lot further than vilification,” Mr Iemma said in Sydney.

“The sort of incitement that’s taking place, or that the DVD encourages, is incitement to acts of violence and acts of terror.

“I will take the advice of the Attorney-General but there are specific laws in the Commonwealth jurisdiction on the sale of this material and that’s why we’ll be seeking the cooperation of the federal Attorney-General to take whatever steps are necessary.”

The sheik delivers his hateful rants on a collection of DVDs sold in Australia and overseas.

…

The Federal Government has denounced the DVDs with acting Attorney-General Kevin Andrews saying the situation was unacceptable.

“The Australian Government denounces these reprehensible and offensive remarks,” he said in Adelaide.

“We particularly denounce the outrageous comments made about the Jewish community in Australia.”

…

Community groups have condemned the remarks of the sheik, who heads the Global Islamic Youth Centre in Liverpool, in Sydney’s southwest.

NSW Jewish Board of Deputies chief executive Vic Alhadeff said the sheik should not abuse his position to incite hatred.

“It is of great concern when people in positions of influence, who should be demonstrating responsible leadership, abuse that power to incite racial hatred,” Mr Alhadeff said.

“As a Jewish community, we work well and closely with moderate sectors of the Muslim community.

“Hate speech such as these remarks by Sheik Mohammed has no place in Australian society and must be vigorously condemned by all.”
