According to Islamic law, this Muslim cleric did nothing wrong. On the contrary, he was just following Islam’s “perfect model,” Muhammad,who married his favorite wife Aisha when she was of the tender age of six. It is for this very reason that child marriage is rampant and sanctioned in Muslim countries. And with large swaths of the West in throes of Islamic transformation, it will become commonplace here as well.
It is only a matter of time when prosecutions will be deemed islamophobic.
Muslim cleric loses his appeal to overturn his conviction for overseeing the marriage of a girl, 14, to a Rohingya asylum seeker, 34, at a Melbourne mosque
- Former Muslim imam Ibrahim Omerdic oversaw marriage of girl, 14, in 2016
- He was convicted last year over wedding in Melbourne to a Rohingya refugee
- His appeal against that conviction has been lost in the Victorian Supreme Court

Story continues below advertisementA former Muslim cleric who oversaw a marriage between an underage girl and a 34-year-old man in Melbourne has failed to overturn his conviction.
Ibrahim Omerdic, 62, believes he was wrongfully convicted because he never finished the religious ceremony between the 14-year-old girl and the Rohingya asylum seeker at a Noble Park mosque in September 2016.
The sacked imam launched an appeal against his conviction in the Victorian Supreme Court in October, arguing the prosecution failed to prove he solemnised the marriage in Melbourne’s south-east.
A former Muslim cleric who oversaw a marriage between an underage girl and a 34-year-old man in Melbourne has failed in a bid to overturn his conviction
He claimed he did not provide the couple with an Islamic marriage certificate.
But Justice Andrew Keogh refused the appeal in a judgment on Friday, meaning the conviction will stand.
Omerdic was found guilty in Melbourne Magistrates Court of unlawfully solemnising a marriage and sentenced to two months in prison.
But he avoided jail as he was immediately placed on a two-year recognisance release order.

The sacked imam appealed against his conviction in the Victorian Supreme Court, arguing the prosecution failed to prove he solemnised the marriage but that appeal was thrown out
Magistrate Phillip Goldberg in June 2017 sentenced Omerdic to two months’ prison for his ‘serious breach of trust’ but released him immediately on a two-year recognisance release order.
Mohammad Shakir, a Rohingya refugee from Myanmar, pleaded guilty in April last year to going through a ceremony of marriage with a person not of marriageable age.
Omerdic was an imam of the Bosnian Islamic Society and Noble Park Mosque, but he was sacked after his November arrest over the wedding.
Mobile phone video captured him solemnising that wedding.
‘If (he) is happy with something, do it. If (he) is not happy with something, don’t do it,’ he tells the girl in the shaky footage.
Omerdic can also be heard telling the child’s mother and her betrothed: ‘She’s very young.

It is very shocking that the Australians actually ruled against them, most Western governments let the Muslims do whatever they want.

With the sentence being to release him immediately on a two-year recognisance release order, that’s letting moslems do whatever they want, isn’t it?

I was going to say that it should have committed murder .. as it would not have even stood trial (it being Australia). However, that was before I read further, “Magistrate Phillip Goldberg in June 2017 sentenced Omerdic to two months’ prison for his ‘serious breach of trust’ but released him immediately on a two-year recognisance release order.”
NO jail time .. and “recognizance release”. I’m not familiar with Australian Juris, so I had to do a bit of research. A “recognizance release” is not even as restrictive as unsupervised probation.
What else would one expect out of The Land of Botany Bay Rejects?

As an Australian I despair. Now, if it was you or I who offended, we would have the book thrown at us as we are not part of the precious protected muzrats.

I wish it would be called what it is, the rape of young girls in the West is part of their ‘war booty’ and it should be widely disseminated as such… Why? Because if it is correctly called war booty, even the most dhim of the muslim apologists will realise that Islam is at war with us.

It is not Islamophobia; it is a recognition that Islam follows no law of any country. As such, muslims cannot be model citizens – ever.

Islamic law allows for Muslims marrying a girl as young as nine. That’s was Aisha’s age when the revered, perfect model for Muslim men, Muhammad consummated his “marriage” with her.
According to Amir Taheri in “The Spirit of Allah: Khomeini and the Islamic Revolution” (pp. 90-91), Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini himself married a ten-year-old girl when he was twenty-eight. Khomeini called marriage to a prepubescent girl “a divine blessing,” and advised the faithful to give their own daughters away accordingly:
“Do your best to ensure that your daughters do not see their first blood in your house.”
Does Islam take care of its pedophiles or what?

No MS it is not a fake cult…it is a real cult!
I believe the word fake actually comes from the word fakir, in Arabic… which in the 19th century was a derogatory term for the poor & filthy muzzies who begged in the street….

Do yourself a favour and stop making an idiot of yourself all the time. Go and read Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s ‘little Green book”, Its readily available in a PDF that you can easily download…Also, put in a google search “Ayatollah Khomeini rapes a 4 year old girl”.. Easy to do that isn’t it?.Now what you have to know, this Ayatollah is the closest thing Shia muslims have to a saint…. He was considered the holiest of men

It probably only anally raped it. As, pursuant to Khomeini’s own writings … sodomy with a female, under the age of nine, is permissible … but not coitus. Those moslems are really somethin’, ain’t they?

Yep and they call us immoral and disgusting…Cos we eat pork.. I would have thought sodomising a young child ( and probably causing internal damage to the bowel) would be a far greater crime than eating bloody pork.

Hello, Lynn D. You do know why moslems don’t eat pork, don’t you? They’re deathly afraid that it could be their mother.

Incredible! A judge and jury who actually understand the law! So…looks like democracy, separation of church and state and due process do exist…albeit only in Australia so far.

What law? That thing did not do ten seconds “time”. It was given an IMMEDIATE release .. It didn’t even see the inside of a holding cell. Even Sweden couldn’t have been kinder or more gentle.

Ibrahim Omerdic probably mistook Australia for the Islamic Republic of Canadastan.

His conviction was only for two months! Give me a break! He should have had 18 years in jail (the length of time for children to learn the rules of adulthood), and then had his citizenship stripped, and then deported.

The intent was there and he would have finished the ceremony. He violated the law. Did anything happen to the girl’s parents? Because something should have.

Unfortunately you are probably not too far from the truth, and as I have said before, the main problem is not the muzrats but the treasonous traitors in the West who are busy giving the muzrats platform for a totalitarian takeover.

Deportation is the only thing that will do.
