DAR AL HARB - AUSTRALIA: THE NEW MUFTI HAS ALREADY STIRRED THINGS UP

Bin Laden backer blasted
By Mark Dunn and Evelyn Yamine

THE refusal by Australia's new Mufti to accept Osama bin Laden was responsible for the September 11 attacks has sparked a mass brawl online.

In his first day in the job, the cleric Sheik Fehmi Naji el-Imam stuck by his long-standing view questioning whether bin Laden was behind the 2001 attacks.

"What evidence?" he said when asked if he now accepted bin Laden's role in the atrocity. Two years ago, when asked the same question, he said: "How would I know? He's unable to be found."

More than one hundred outraged readers have written to this website to protest - while others are backing his call.

Some have even suggested that, far from the al-Qaeda leader organising the 2001 attacks on the US, it was the American Government itself.

"To all you people who do not beleive there were more people involved in 911 should have a look at loose change 911 it does open your eyes and there is many questions that need to be answered," posted Adam of Sydney.

On the other hand, Mark of Cremorne writes: "Anyone who states that Osama Bin Laden is not guilty of the cowardly September 11 attack 'after he admitted to it' is not worth listening too. Of course it is fine to have an opinion, but not when it insults a whole society's viewpoint."
