'Shameful workshop': anti-gay sheikh to speak at university event

A fundamentalist Muslim sheikh who has slammed gay marriage and homosexuals will speak at a University of Wollongong workshop.

But it is the appearance of Sheikh Jamil El-Biza, the Imam of Masjid As-Salaam Berkeley, which has riled some in the community.It was during the height of the gay-marriage debate in 2017 that the cleric used his own social media page to call gay marriage "evil" and homosexuals as "f-----s".It is understood many staff in the Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts will boycott the "shameful workshop".

"This [workshop] is obviously to try to counter the critique within the university and outside the university. We are all very upset about the degree and all that has been happening, particularly after the Senate questioned the use of the fast-track approval process.

Can someone please tell him we’re to put that index finger. I’m over it! Maybe, he wants to play footy with John H.

What the effin eff is wrong with you uow? Academic discourse & debate are the meat & potatoes of uni life...but between this speaker & allowing your mates at the Ramsay Centre to form 'intellectual dialogues' on campus is bereft of an informed humanity a uni should aspire to.

We let this Islamic extremist into Australia to spread hate yet Milo Yiannopouloss is banned what the hell is going on?

ooooh, that sounds like a racist comment to me.

I’m interested to learn what he’d know about ‘understanding others’!!

How disgusting
