Radical Islamic Conference at Melbourne University

• Views: 4,001

A Melbourne university will host the Annual Australian Dawah Conference, featuring notorious jihadi clerics appearing under phony names: Radical Islamic conference at uni.

THE nation’s two most radical Islamic clerics - hardliners described by a rival yesterday as producing “bin Ladens in the suburbs” - will use a three-day conference at a major university to recruit followers to their sect.

The Melbourne-based leader of the Ahl Sunnah Wal Jammah association, Mohammed Omran, and his Sydney counterpart, Abdul Salam Mohammed Zoud, will lead the conference next month at RMIT University under modified names - a ploy their critics claim is designed to escape media attention.

The promotional flyer for the Annual Australian Dawah Conference identifies Sheik Omran as Sheik Abu Ayman and Sheik Zoud as Sheik Abdul Salaam.

The pair are widely known in the broader community - and listed in their now defunct newspaper Mecca News - as Omran and Zoud.

Yesterday, Sheik Omran told The Australian that he was known as Sheik Abu Ayman - meaning the father of Ayman in Arabic - by the Muslim community and was not attempting to escape the media radar by appearing under another name at the Melbourne conference.
