Mufti warns over dangers over US links
September 12, 2004

The bombing of the Australian embassy in Jakarta has prompted Australia's leading Muslim cleric to warn of the dangers of being a member of "Bush's team".

Speaking after midday prayers at Sydney's largest mosque in Lakemba, Sheikh Taj el-Den Al-Hilaly expressed his "sorrow and shock" at the attack.

"It's not in the interests of Australia for us to be in Bush's team because that team has expressed and proven its animosity to the world," he warned. "The Bush team is known now to rely on deception and has goals that are not all open. He is leading a push for American imperialism and he doesn't care for Australian interests or those of any sovereign nation other than his own."
