More Australian Islamic clerics. Another one opens his mouth to speak the islamic mind and lodges his foot in it. At least no apologists this time.

<b>Cleric could face hatred charges</b>
By 7News
A Muslim cleric could face criminal charges, after preaching hatred against Jews on a DVD whish is being sold over the internet.
Sheikh Feiz Mohammed, from Sydney, appears on the recording calling Jewish people pigs, and saying they should be killed.
New South Wales Premier Morris Iemma says the Sheikh has incited acts of terrorism.
"What they're being exhorted to do on this DVD is akin to an act of terror.
"They are disgusting, outrageous comments and he should withdraw them immediately," Mr Iemma said.
The extremist cleric's comments have been condemned by both Muslims and Jews, who want him charged for racial vilification.
"Deplorable isn't it?" said Tom Zreika, of the Lebanese Muslim Association. "It is inexcusable, regrettable. We're ashamed of those comments."
"It is vital that the full weight of the law in this state come down upon him," said Vic Alhadeff, of the Jewish Board of Deputies.
The Federal Police have begun an investigation into the Australian-born Sheikh, who is currently living in Lebanon.
"We do not believe that hatred and remarks of this nature should be made or imported into Australia," said acting Attorney General Kevin Andrews.
A spokesman for the DVD's Australian distributor, One Islam, told 7News he had no idea its contents were so controversial, and that it had now been withdrawn from sale. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
