A VICTORIAN mosque plans to bestow awards on Australians they believe are Islamophobes -- politicians, community leaders or media identities they categorise as hostile to Muslims.

The Brunswick-based Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah Association has unveiled what it calls its annual "Islamophobia Award for the worst Islamophobes in Australia".

Likely to be near the top on the group's list of nominees is Pauline Hanson, who has come under fire from the mosque and other Muslims for her recent call for a "moratorium on any more Muslims coming into Australia".

Mosque leader Sheik Mohammed Omran, who teaches a fundamentalist minority form of Islam, has previously been questioned about his views on international jihad but he has condemned terrorism in Australia.

Sheik Mohammed Omran - Grand Poobah of Australia.

**Sheik Omran the self styled Grand Poobah of Australia stated that Osama Bin Laden was a "good man", Sheikh Omran said he'd been taken out of context and said he may have made a mistake.

But wait whats this comment from the bearded one that I have located where he denies Osama had anything to do with 9/11 "I don’t believe that even 11 September… I don’t believe that it was done by any Muslim at all… I dispute any evil action linked to bin Laden." Instead, Omran has stated his belief that the 9/11 attacks were instead orchestrated by the US — an "inside job," in his words.

He has also had a go at his home nation Australia and I quote "rubbish because women walk down the street not wearing veils and the men drink."

Australian men drink? Whatever next. On suicide attacks he said this: "say openly it is the duty of Muslims to help their Muslim brothers and sisters and if that means being a martyr then do it. If it means they’ve got to strap up and go overseas, then they’ll do it."

The Australian award follows a similar initiative in Britain where the Islamic Human Rights Commission imposed its Annual Islamophobia Awards on politicians including Australian Prime Minister John Howard, then British PM Tony Blair and US President George W. Bush.(I checked the Islamic Human Rights site out they had some details on the awards for 2005, but very little since then.)

**Do they pick the nominations, or can I nominate myself for one? Inshalla I shall be granted one of them.
