Muslim Cleric Who Groped Aussie Women Says It’s a Cultural Misunderstanding

Cultural Misunderstanding

Cultural Misunderstanding

This is a cultural misunderstanding. In Australian culture, molesting women is wrong. In Egyptian Muslim culture, it’s the expected thing to do.

A Muslim prayer leader charged with touching the breasts of two teenagers and a grandmother on the northern beaches believes he is the victim of a misunderstanding.

I’m pretty sure he’s not the victim here.

Ahmed Alkahly, a 59-year-old Egyptian national who is a well-known qari, or prayer reciter, in his homeland, is visiting Sydney to lead evening prayers at the Dee Why Masjid mosque for the month of Ramadan.

Police will allege that, in two separate incidents on Wednesday afternoon, he approached a 16-year-old girl and a 57-year-old grandmother, who was pushing her grandson in a pram, and indecently assaulted them by touching their breasts along Dee Why Beach.

Both victims called the police. Mr Alkahly was found nearby minutes later and arrested.

Police will allege he also approached a 16-year-old girl in a reserve in Dee Why on Monday afternoon and touched her breasts.

“They’re certainly distressed by the incident,” Inspector Craig Wonders said of the three victims.

But wait. There’s a reasonable explanation for this.

However, Mr Alkahly’s Sydney-based son said the incidents were the result of a misunderstanding and his father, who does not speak English, is so embarrassed and distressed by his subsequent arrest that he has almost suffered a nervous breakdown.

What does English have to do with anything? In what conceivable set of circumstances could his poor English skills have led him to repeatedly, but unintentionally, molest teenage girls?

Sure. It’s a misunderstanding. He didn’t understand that in Australia, women are considered human beings and have legal rights. In Dubai, he would have been set free and the 16-year-old girls would have been charged with adultery.

He said the incidents arose when people on the beach asked to have their photos taken with his father, who was wearing exotic Egyptian Islamic dress.

So naturally he tried to give them the full authentic Egyptian Islamic experience.

Mr Alkahly also came into contact with one of the women because her dog started barking and gnarling at him, he

Again, how could one thing possibly lead to the other? Maybe in Egypt, such a chain of events could make some kind of sense.

A spokesman for Dee Why Mosque, Usamah Alamudi, said Mr Alkahly was simply showing ‘‘love and compassion’’ but had misunderstood the cultural differences between Australia and Egypt.

Perhaps his kind of “love and compassion” should stay in Egypt. Along with him.

Mr Alkahly is one of several qaris or prayer reciters sent to Australia for Ramadan by the Egyptian government.

Australia should thank Morsi for dispatching one of its finest sexual predators to educate Australians about their customs and beliefs.

    Disgusting. On so MANY levels.

    • delm31_nabla@yahoo.com

      An understatement. The “Imam” is a pedophile. No room for that in any civilized nation. Especially Western countries.

  • LindaRivera

    Get out of our countries, you FILTHY MONSTER, vile, G-d hater perverts.
    You are utterly DEVOID of ALL morals and ALL ethics.

    Non-Muslims are REAL MEN who PROTECT women and children. Non-Muslims are real men who HONOR God and don’t molest and rape women and children.

    • delm31_nabla@yahoo.com

      Agreed. Send the whole Saracen crowd back to Arabia.

  • Drakken

    You want to stop this savagery by Islamic savages? Start by using a bat across the face to get the point across that you muslims and your Islamic behavior in the west will no longer be tolerated.

    • delm31_nabla@yahoo.com

      Send Islam back where it came from. And if that’s “bigotry” and ‘intolerance”, so be it. We need some.

    Cultural misunderstanding? No, just more victims to be sacrificed on the morally bankrupt altar of of Multi-Cultural relativism.

      Time to introduce him to our “gun culture” or at least our “law and order” culture. Infidel style.

  • CrazyA$$Cracka

    Yeah, and when I wrap this sicko in pig skin and drop him about 20,000 feet above Mecca, that will be “cultural misunderstanding” too.

    • delm31_nabla@yahoo.com

      Along with a 100 megaton nuclear warhead. Bye Mecca.

        Reciprocity and justice indicate to me that the
        pedophile old man should have both hands
        crushed by a 5lbs sledgehammer. That would
        be Shariah-like and definitelly overcome any
        claimed language barrier. He would understand.

  • tatave

    This is their culture!

      But not ours! Blow that “holy city” of their right off the map.

      Agreed. Keep their “culture” and “religion” to themselves.

  • DogmaelJones1

    “He said the incidents arose when people on the beach asked to have their
    photos taken with his father, who was wearing exotic Egyptian Islamic
    dress.” Who did they think he was? Mickey Mouse? Ronald McDonald? And if they knew he was a Muslim wearing the usual sheets and a raggidy looking headdress, haven’t the Aussies learned by now these are people you don’t want to have your picture taken with?

    • Edward

      Doggy,

      The Muslim cleric should not have been at the beach. He should have been in his mosque/madrassa beating Muslim women.

  • delm31_nabla@yahoo.com

    They should have Karate chopped him in the hoo-haa, Or had him fixed. There is no “cultural misunderstanding”. The guy is a dirt bag. If that had been a member of my family, he would be history. Along with the whole Islamic world.

  • Gabby Crofts

    the women need to ensure he is charged with sexual assault and jailed, sue him for damages, lodge criminal injuries compensation claims and sue him and the mosque individually for damages

  • OfficialPro

    I don’t know about ‘cultural misunderstandings’ but I would love to know where this guy got the idea it was OK to grope womenz.

    • catherineinpvb

      He got it the idea from his ‘Koran’. . .

  • Conroy

    This story has hardly rated a mention in the news here in Sydney!

  • Ameer

    Islam forbids looking at stranger women,let alone touching or groping. The man, even though qualified to recite the Qur’an beautifully, obviously either does not understand classical Arabic or has only memorized it without it entering his heart. Many evangelists ministers are guilty of sex related crimes including rabbis and priests but we do not demonize their faiths. Islamophobes don’ t ned such cases to vent their vile hatred. There is a problem in Egypt in big cities regarding groping and harassment even of modestly dressed or covered women but rape is not common as it is in the US and Europe as well as Australia where adultery. teen age pregnancy, sex related crimes and deviant behaviour where girls are kept prisoner for years as sex slaves. Fornication is punished by whipping. Nd adultery by death in Saudi Arabia and other countries where q
    Qur’anic law( shari’at) is implemented. Obviously this individual who publically
    groped women of all ages is mentally disturbed as are those on this site who show stupidity,hatred of Islam and Muslims.
    Addiction to pornography soft and hard is another sickness spreading among men as well as women in our too open society.
    The open way women dress in the West is deemed by those from a conservative society as tantamount to offering their bodies for sex.

    • Alan

      Oh ….Give us all a break already…. Islam is as Islam does. Mahomet said it is OK for practicing muslims to have Kufar women as sex slaves. This cleric was just doing what Mahomet did.

    • kikorikid

      Hey Ameer, You are a Muslim Brotherhood propagandist!
      “The open way women dress in the West= offering
      bodies for sex.” Big STUPID in your thinking here.
      I hope some brother,father,uncle,or friend breaks
      your hands up for groping that you thought
      justified because of a halter top and shorts.

    ‘‘He’s very distressed. He’s been crying,’’ Mr Alamudi said. ‘‘He’s a good man.’’

    Always the victims. Always.

    • Edward

      alamud, “He’s a good man”.

      Just last week he stoned his own sister to death over a “family honor” issue.

  • objectivefactsmatter

    By the time leftist justice is served, those girls will be regretting their Islam-o-phobia when they’re living at the reeducation camp.

  • Omar

    They weren’t obeying islamic purdah, therefore they are sluts or prostitutes who may be harassed, groped or raped at will. For an islamo-nutbag, that’s pretty much the whole story.

  • Edward

    The Aussie women should have kicked the sexual predator muslim cleric in the balls.

    Cultural Misunderstanding corrected.

  • Edward

    Ameer, Your cleric is not an aberration.

    He is just one of millions following orders – straight from mohammed/satan.
    100,000+ dead in Syria, Arabs/Muslims killing fellow ARabs/Muslims, demonstrates that Islam has no place in the civilized world.

    See the age of accused. Looks like some misundeerstanding. Leave it.

      I doubt it. But I suppose you must jump to defend a fellow traveller.

      Zubair Khan: You are very obviously a pisslam dog. Your cultists need to stay in your own countries, the free world does not need MoHAMhead and his brand of fanatic living. I would love to see just one pisslamist in my town..I would spit in his face a let my dog piss on him.

      • Freedom Call

        Can allow them to travel after castration imo.

  • Alan

    Disgusting…. Was the man charged with a crime? This pervert was Sent to Aus by the Egyptian government? Why is this sort of thing continuing to escalate in free countries?

  • Mach1Duck

    Ameer: Either you are completely nieve or in self denial. So many women were groped during the Egyptian Arab Spring, that western tourist were advised to stay home. I cannot understand a culture that professes to believe in a moral code, and does exactly the opposite. Islam is dying, and you cannot defend it.

    • BeachBaby2011

      I hope you are right. They will have a more difficult time of in the USA where in many states we may openly carry weapons with a permit. Some ugly greasy guy dressed up like a woman comes near me, and I will put a bullet between his greasy eyes.

  • Jill

    Ok I’k not defending this guy but inappropriate touching and pleading misunderstanding is a very common male tactic, generally accompanied by an accusationon of being a “f******slut” or “bitch* if the woman (or young girl) objects.
    At least the police got this guy. Plenty of guys are not charged.
    And they know what they are doing, Muslim and non-Muslim.

  • LindaRivera

    Barbaric mass murderer and HUGE slave trader, Mohammad, founder of Islam, married a six year old child and FORCED sex on the little girl at the age of 9.

    Mohammad is regarded as the perfect man and role model by devout Muslims who follow Islam.

    well, a year or so in jail will help him improve his English skills.

  • JiepMK

    In each Western country that adopted people from Africa and the Middle East, we see the same kind of problems. It’s becomming more and more evident each day that violence is the only way out of this downward spiral that our culture has slipped into. Good to read all the positive reactions on the article.

  • joe

    i dont understand why would he do it twice, i would imagine women 1 would of made a scene, and it would then become apparent this is unacceptable behaviour in western countries, and his son woud explain why! however he did it once more just to clarify what exactly!

    On that note, if someone could clarigy this, if i got to Egypt next year, does that mean am i allowed to grope the locals?

    • rangerider

      Sure you are:-) Just be prepared to face some small consequences. Muslim men own their woman, lock, stock and barrel. Week or 2 ago some arab killed his wife because she went shopping without asking him:-)

  • Micky Mantell

    The joys of our U.N encouraged multiculty social experiment. Trashing and dismantling our anglo based culture and heritage for a more enlightened medieval one – next time you vote just remember who wants to enforce this way of life on you – because… as they so often espouse all cultures equal and welcome…and disagree and you are racist – even though many races behave this way in the west..

  • Nadia

    Back in there country and his religion is very good when you sexually assault a Christian and he thought that been a religious person the Australian law will forgive him………… it’s enough what they doing to Christian in Egypt so he should get charged or put him back on the first flight

  • udi yogev

    when i was with my girlfriend on a Turkey trip a few years back, she was sexually, physically harassed three times in our first week there. Fortunately, some shouting fixed the slimebags, at least temporarily. Not Arabs, but Muslims.- this seems to be the way they roll. And Egypt is supposed to be much, much worse, maybe the worst in the way the locals believe uncoverd women are just legal prey.
