澳大利亚伊玛目委员会对墨尔本伊斯兰讲道者阿布·艾哈迈德7月的说教内容表示深切关注1。艾哈迈德在讲道中引述经文，称"为了真主的缘故，这包括声明对他的敌人的敌意……拿起武器对抗他的敌人"，并主张不应将"犹太人和基督徒作为朋友"1。
艾哈迈德随后澄清这些言论系他在讲授经文章节时的引述，而非个人号召1。他表示"这些言论不是我个人呼吁穆斯林攻击基督徒、犹太人或其他非穆斯林"1。伊玛目委员会对此作出回应，"强烈和明确谴责任何呼吁对平民、宗教社区或澳大利亚人民拿起武器的行为"，并重申伊斯兰教义要求尊重人类生命1。
独立联邦议员艾莱格拉·斯彭德评论称，这一事件表明"为什么我们需要更强有力的全国一致的仇恨言论法"1。
Australia's council of imams has expressed grave concern over remarks made by Melbourne Islamic preacher Abu Ahmad during a July sermon, in which he called on believers to "take up arms against enemies" and stated that "Jews and Christians should not be regarded as friends."1 The Nine News network disclosed the controversy on Tuesday.1
Abu Ahmad subsequently clarified that his statements were quotations from scriptural passages he was teaching rather than a personal exhortation to violence.1 He stated: "These remarks are not my personal call for Muslims to attack Christians, Jews, or other non-Muslims."1 The imams' council responded with a firm denunciation, declaring it "strongly and unequivocally condemns any call for taking up arms against civilians, religious communities, or the Australian people," and reaffirmed that Islamic teachings demand respect for human life.1
The incident has drawn political attention, with independent federal MP Allegra Spender commenting that "this demonstrates why we need stronger national consensus on hate speech laws."1
