Feiz Mohammad (born 1970) is an Australian Muslim preacher of Lebanese descent, noted for his Islamic fundamentalism. Mohammad was formerly the head of the Global Islamic Youth Centre in Liverpool, a suburb of Sydney, Australia. He was featured on a 2007 British television documentary called ''Undercover Mosque''. He has been referred to as a Takfiri. 〔http://www.3ilmchar3i.net/article-attention-a-l-association-ana-mouslim-et-autres-119694647.html〕 ==Biography == Mohammad is of Lebanese origin, and was born in Sydney, Australia, in 1970. His father is from Lebanon. He is a former boxer, bodybuilder.〔〔("Muslim cleric: women incite men's lust with 'satanic dress'" ), by Miranda Devine, ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', 24 April 2005.〕 His hardline sermons, in which Mohammad denounced other religions and encouraged Muslim children to choose martyrdom, have sparked outrage from political leaders in Australia, and Europe.〔 Mohammad studied under Sheikh Mohammed Omran, the spiritual leader of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah Association (Australia), who sent him, in 1990, to Saudi Arabia's Islamic University of Madinah, where he spent four years studying Islamic law. He returned to Australia in 1997.〔 On 12 June 2000, Jack Roche used a video camera that he had borrowed from Mohammad to film the Israeli embassy in Canberra, Australia. Roche was later convicted of conspiring to destroy the Israeli Embassy. Mohammad fled to Tripoli, Lebanon, in November 2005 to escape constant Australian Security Intelligence Organisation surveillance, and was believed to still be living there in 2007 and through at least December 2008.〔〔〔 He relocated to Malaysia to continue Islamic studies. He completed his studies in Malaysia, returned to Australia (in 2010, it was believed) to open a new prayer hall in Auburn.〔("Police probe sheik's DVDs" ), by Luke McIlveen, staff and wires, ''News.com.au'', 18 January 2007〕〔("Sheikh sparks outrage" ), by Carolyn Webb, ''The Age'', 19 January 2007〕 In July 2007, the father of Ahmad Elomar, a Muslim Australian featherweight boxer and follower of Mohammad arrested in Lebanon the prior month for alleged terrorist links, accused Mohammad of brainwashing young Muslims with a hardline version of Islam.〔〔 He said: "Sheiks like Feiz ruin people. He is not a sheik; he is brainwashing all these children. I know my religion, so I can tell him when he is wrong, but these kids believe everything he says and think it's their religion. Someone needs to stop him."〔 Also in 2007, he established the Dawah Central centre in Auburn.〔 In 2010, it became the ASWJ Auburn; it now has a number of other locations in Sydney and elsewhere in Australia.〔 In 2007, Australian security sources identified Mohammad as a hardliner who was preaching fundamentalist Wahabi ideology in Australia, as espoused by al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden.〔 Opposition foreign spokesman Kevin Rudd said: "I would say this to Sheik Mohammed: Do not return to Australia, you are not welcome here."〔 The Dutch intelligence service, AIVD, said Mohammad is considered on a par with Anwar al-Awlaki.〔 By December 2008, he had been linked to convicted terrorist Australian "Jihad" Jack Roche and a number of other terror suspects.〔 In March 2011, Mohammad returned to Australia after a six-year absence.〔 He delivered sermons at the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah centre in Auburn, on Auburn Road behind the Bakhiri Book Store, which sell religious texts.〔 In July 2011, a follower of his named Wassim Fayad, a Muslim Australian, allegedly lashed a Sydney man 40 times under the name of Muslim Sharia law, as punishment for drinking alcohol.〔 He is associated with and supported by the Islamic organization Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah.〔 He holds classes on Sharia law in a ''musallah'' behind Auburn's Bukhari House bookstore, in a building purchased in January 2011 by the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah Association, which made Mohammed its full-time Amir.〔 His Facebook page links to pages that include the "Flag of Islamic Khilafah", which advocates setting up a "caliphate" or Islamic state of Sharia law.〔 He is residing in Sydney; his last known residence as of September 2012 was a $575,000 rural retreat in the Southern Highlands with a "fish-filled" dam, inground pool, and games room with bar.〔〔("Police probe sheik's DVDs" ), by Luke McIlveen, staff and wires, ''News.com.au'', 18 January 2007〕〔 In his book ''Ticking Time Bomb: Counter-Terrorism Lessons from the U.S. Government's Failure to Prevent the Fort Hood Attack'' (2011), former US Senator Joe Lieberman described Feiz Mohammad and others as "virtual spiritual sanctioners" who use the internet to offer religious justification for Islamist terrorism. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Feiz Mohammad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
