MORE AUSTRALIANS ARE RACISTS SHTICK

Sheik Hilali didn't make the news because his remarks are outrageous. Nope. He made the news because the media was pandering to racist Australians:

I know ‘racism’ isn’t the correct term because the prejudice that seems to be endemic in Australia isn’t to do with nationality or ethnic origin. Nor is it quite to do with religion. There’s just an entrenched prejudice against Muslims from the middle east, and it’s a very sick influence in our society.

In other words, Hilali was right all along.
