A moderate preacher says Australia’s Muslim society is “infested by extremists”, his comments coming during a heated television debate that also included Muslim leader Dr Jamal Rifi.
Adelaide Imam Shaikh Mohammad Tawhidi appeared on Channel Seven’s Sunrise program with host David Koch and Dr Rifi to discuss this week’s Manchester bombing.
The terrorist attack, which killed 22 people and injured 64, 20 critically, was carried out by radicalised British Muslim Salman Abedi.
Dr Rifi and Tawhidi condemned the attack. Tawhidi went further, saying young people were being radicalised, even in Australia, “because of the Islamic scriptures that we have”.
“They push the Muslim youth to believe that if you go out there and you kill the infidel that’s how you will gain paradise.
“It is very hard being a peaceful, moderate person within a society that is infested by extremist Muslims. I will not deny this fact.”
