GOVERNMENT Ministers have piled on the Grand Mufti of Australia over controversial comments he has made over the Paris terror attacks, calling on Australia’s top Muslim cleric to explain himself.
Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohammed has been slammed for issuing a statement on the Paris atrocities in which he insinuated racism was a cause of the Islamic State atrocities.
Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohammed’s statement said “causative factors” of the terror attacks were racism and Islamophobia, and that they needed to be addressed.
“These recent incidents highlight the fact that current strategies to deal with the threat of terrorism are not working,” Dr Mohammed said.
“It is therefore imperative that all causative factors such as racism, Islamophobia, curtailing freedoms through securitisation, duplicitous foreign policies and military intervention must be comprehensively addressed.”
He condemned the Paris attacks, which killed at least 132 people and injured more than 350, and offered condolences to victims’ friends and families.
But Dr Mohammed is facing pressure to “clarify his comments”, with Treasurer Scott Morrison saying the Grand Mufti had let Australian Muslims down.
Ted Lapkin, director of public affairs at the Zionist Federation of Australia, said the Grand Mufti’s comments were a “disgrace”.
“The Mufti disgracefully attempts to invert culpability for last weekend’s terrorist atrocity with his statement that “duplicitous foreign policies and military intervention” are “causative factors” in this attack,” Mr Lapkin said.
“The premeditated murder of innocents is an irreducible evil that must never be contextualised, rationalised or justified — full stop.
“The objectives of Australia’s Middle East policy are focused on protecting innocents and pursuing tyrants.”
“These recent incidents highlight the fact that current strategies to deal with the threat of terrorism are not working,” Dr Mohammed said.
