«Breaking News» Islamic Council slams Melbourne talkback host Neil Mitchell for linking radical Islam to terror

A Muslim leader has slammed a talkback radio host for suggesting there's a link between radical Islam and terrorism. 

Melbourne radio 3AW broadcaster Neil Mitchell had suggested an extreme interpretation of Islam had inspired Somali-born terrorist Hassan Khalif Shire Ali's Friday afternoon knife rampage on Bourke Street.

'I certainly wouldn't connect it to Islam. But radical Islam, yes. Obviously,' Mitchell told his listeners.

Islamic Council of Victoria vice-president Adel Salman took exception to that statement.

'The problem is Neil, when you call it radical Islam, you're basically saying that the religion of Islam, there are different versions and there is one particular version that we all have a problem with,' he said this week.

'I don't accept that premise. Islam as a religion cannot be associated with these forms of criminal acts.'

Mr Salman, who is also the Sunni-dominated group's media spokesman, also suggested it was wrong to draw a link between Islam and ISIS, after Mitchell claimed 'radical Christianity' was linked to a 'perversion' of religion.

'The religion of Islam cannot be connected with any form of violent acts,' Mr Salman said.

'That is just a nonsense from our perspective.

'ISIS may draw some of their justification from the religion of Islam. That does not make it a form of Islam.'

The Bourke Street terrorist shot dead by police on Friday last week had reportedly contacted Sydney-raised ISIS fighter Khalid Sharrouf, who is believed to have been killed in Syria. 

The 30-year-old Melbourne murderer, who was shot dead by police, had also attended the Hume Islamic Youth Centre at Coolaroo, in the city's north, run by the hardline Salafist group, Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah Association.

That mosque's spiritual leader Sheikh Mohammed Omran and Grand Mufti Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohamed both blamed Australian security agencies for the Melbourne terrorist attack, claiming it was not linked to Islam.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
