Keysar Trad, head of the Islamic Friendship Association of Australia, is the spokesman for Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali, the mufti of Sydney's biggest mosque.
He sought damages from 2GB radio station for its description of him as a dangerous individual who incited violence, hatred, and racism.
Justice Peter McClelland echoed that view, saying the Lebanese-born father of 11 was a dangerous person and had had encouraged hostility between Muslims and non-Muslims.
'Many of his remarks are distasteful and appear to condone violence,' McClelland said. 'I'm also satisfied that he encourages others to hold those views. In particular, he holds views derogatory of Jewish people.'

the notorious lowlife who applauded the sydney gang rapes needs life time in prison and maybe some harsher consequences, i also think a confrontation with the real world will be as beneficial as a slap in his disgusting, anti semitic face.,
australia in general gives fair prison scentences but is now dissapointing the public with giving dangerous sex offender parole
as you can see here, they occasionaly do the right thing and stick the bad gut behind bars but australia is a young country, who knows what will bring?

Australia is one of the best friends of the US and the Jewish people. Australia is the only country to actively put troops on the US side of every conflict that the US has been involved with in the last 100 years.
