Here’s an update to yesterday’s report that Dark Ages hate-spewer Sheik Taj al Din al Hilali had been fired from his position as Mufti of Australia. He hasn’t. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

The Australian Federation of Islamic Councils has denied reports it has sacked controversial Muslim leader Sheik Taj el-Din al Hilaly as mufti of Australia.

AFIC president Ikebal Patel says a Fairfax newspaper report that the group’s abolished the role of mufti and cut all ties with the sheik is wrong. However Mr Patel did say the sheik’s pay was suspended last year.

“No, we haven’t sacked the mufti … (Sheik al Hilaly) is still the mufti,” Mr Patel told Sky News this morning. “The position of mufti itself is very much there and the … incumbent, while not being paid for the position, is still the holder of the position.”

The federation said it was up to the Australian National Imams Council to decide the fate of the mufti, with a decision expected by the end of June.

Mr Patel said AFIC has had issues with some of the sheik’s comments and if he’s to continue as mufti he’ll have to follow strict guidelines about what he can get involved in and have English-speakers around him so what he says isn’t misinterpreted.

Translation: have English speakers around to make sure the infidels don’t get wise to what he’s saying in Arabic.

 Frank says:

The essence of Christianity is told us in the Garden of Eden history. The fruit that was forbidden was on the tree of knowledge. The subtext is, All the suffering you have is because you wanted to find out what was going on. You could be in the Garden of Eden if you had just kept your mouth shut and hadn't asked any questions. -- Playboy Interview, April 1993
