Divorce must be kept in line with scripture and remarriage should only be on the grounds of sexual infidelity, as upheld by Christian leaders for the past 20 centuries.

As Irfan points out:

Will John Howard remind us all of a small minority of Pentecostal Christians needing to learn Australian values like equality for women? Will Kevin Andrews tell Mr Nalliah to consider leaving Australia? Will Kevin Rudd suggest removing Nalliah’s citizenship?

It’s OK for Danny Nalliah to behave like a Christian version of Hilaly, effectively telling women in his congregation to shut up and take it when their husbands bash them up. He’ll probably still receive a reference from Treasurer Peter Costello for his next court case. No doubt the PM will still send a special Australia Day message to Nalliah’s Catch The Fire Ministries.

It was fun for me too!

Labor leader Kevin Rudd has urged the Federal Government to review Sheikh Taj al-Din al-Hilali’s Australian citizenship after his latest remarks declaring himself more Australian than Prime Minister John Howard.

And Mr Howard today again called for Auysralian Muslims to dump their mufti, who he said brought ridicule on their community.

In an uncharacteristic defence of the Prime Minister, Mr Rudd blasted the controversial Islamic cleric, saying: “As you know, I’m not a natural supporter of the Prime Minister, but Mr Howard is as Australian as I am”.

“The sheikh is out there, I think, just seeking crazy publicity, as he seems to do on a daily basis.”

The Muslim cleric declared himself “more Aussie than Howard” in an interview with a News Limited newspaper, in which he called the Prime Minister a dictator.

“It’s a disgrace for the leader of a democratic country to be picking on religious people, especially one who is practising a form of dictatorship that could almost be Saddam Hussein-like,” the sheikh told the paper.

“I respect Australian values more than he does.”

This week, Iranian media quoted the mufti as urging Australian Muslims “to stand in the trenches with the Islamic Republic of Iran which possesses the might and the power”.

Mr Rudd said the comments bordered on violating Australia’s counter-terrorism laws because Iran supports the “global terrorist organisation” Hezbollah.

Mr Howard sais that, while the sheikh’s comments should be treated as a joke, “there is still a serious issue with this man”.

Are my ears deceiving me or is Rudd sounding more self-righteously rightwing than the rodent? Aussie citizenship isn’t something to be stripped from someone who mouths off against in support of a nation we aren’t at war with. If Rudd wanted to be consistent he should immediately declare the United Stupids off bounds for running the MEK terrorism in Iran.
