Ain't Multiculturalism Grand: Australia Edition

Muslim cleric sends hate mail to families of Australian soldiers killed in Afghanistan.

This is very nuanced, isn't it?

"Sheikh Haron and said he is accused of sending letters to the families of seven soldiers who died in Afghanistan, calling them criminals, murderers and killers who were fighting a war of invasion. He described one of the deceased soldiers, a Jewish man, as a "1,000 times worse" than a pig and a "murderer of innocents."

"Some people don't eat the meat of a pig but they are dirtier than (a) pig," wrote Haron of Private Greg Sher, according to The Australian newspaper."

"What's the point if some people don't eat pork while their behaviour is worse than dirty animals? Why should we call a pig a hero?" he said.

"Haron, reportedly an Iranian-born immigrant who claims to be an Islamic spiritual leader, told the Daily Telegraph he is innocent and "can explain everything."

"The outspoken cleric has posted scores of letters, including those to the soldiers, on a website under his name which has since been suspended."
