Australia - Sheikh spreads antisemitism

A controversial Muslim leader who has advocated martyrdom to children and described Jews as pigs could face up to 15 years in jail if charged under Australian anti-terror laws.
Political and religious figures, including local Islamic leaders, accused Sheikh Feiz Muhammad of inciting hatred and terrorism through recorded lectures that have been sold in Australia on DVD.
Sheikh Muhammad says that being a disbeliever is "filth" and makes pig noises after stating that "Jews are pigs that will be killed at the end of the world".
Copies of the DVD were still on sale in an Islamic bookshop in the Sydney suburb of Lakemba, and on the Sydney youth centre's website.
