Aussie Film Board Gives Jihad a PG Rating

• Views: 638

The films of Sheik Feiz Mohammed (the Australian jihad recruiter who can be seen in Dispatches: Undercover Mosque calling on Muslims to teach their children to love death for the sake of Allah) are OK viewing for Australian children, according to the Office of Film and Literature Classification: Islamic pro-terrorism hate film gets PG rating.

They do recommend that children under 15 have a parent present while viewing.

A PRO-TERROR hate film that urges children to martyr themselves in Islam’s war on the West and calls Jews “pigs” has been rated PG by Australia’s censors.

Sheik Feiz Mohammed’s DVD box set, which also calls for the murder of non-believers, was initially seized by Federal anti-terror police.

But the Office of Film and Literature Classification has ruled that The Death Series is suitable to be bought and watched by children. The shock decision has seen the nation’s peak censorship body slammed as weak and out of touch by family groups and the Jewish community. It has also made a mockery of the Attorney-General’s plans to bring in tough new laws that ban material which “advocates” terrorism.

The PG decision comes as Australian-born Sheik Feiz, who is in exile in Lebanon, is still preaching to Australians by phone.

The films urge parents to make their children holy warriors and martyrs, and praises jihad as the pinnacle of Islam. The radical sheik makes snorting noises on the films as he vilifies Jews as the “army of pigs”. He blames a lack of courage for martyrdom on the battlefield for the “humiliation” of Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and Guantanamo.

The censors’ finding means children of any age can watch the films - but it is advised under-15s have a parent present.

The OFLC finding said the sheik’s calls to “jihad” and “martyrdom” were ambiguous. And it found that comments vilifying Jews as an “army of pigs” and saying “behind me is a Jew, come kill him” were mitigated by the context.

4 Things We Should Remember When Arguing About Politics
Political discourse in America has reached levels of douchebaggery previously only theorized about but never observed, like conversational dark matter. We're in a whole new world of hating people based solely on their opinions on a few key issues, and since this is unexplored territory, our conversations about politics are usually only a couple notches beyond the "hold your breath until the other ...
