"Sheik Taj el-Dene Elhilaly needs learn spirit of this nation"

Dubious cargo and a flag of convenience - Piers Akerman

"Nineteen years ago, Lakemba mosque's notorious Sheik Taj el-Dene Elhilaly was fighting a deportation order sought by then immigration minister Chris Hurford.
Yesterday, the sheik was pictured on the front page of The Australian newspaper, standing in front of the mural of Mecca which covers a wall of his office, wrapped in the Australian flag, demanding expulsion of radical Muslims and criticising Prime Minister John Howard's Muslim advisory committee, to which he belongs – but doesn't participate in.
As the nation's Islamic spiritual leader, the Mufti still needs to learn a lot about the spirit of this nation."
