Farrokh Sekalesh leaves Australia after visa warning

Source: AlJAZEERA

A cleric has left Australia after comments he made against homosexuality sparked a government review of his visa, officials said.

Farrokh Sekaleshfar, a British citizen, told Australian Broadcasting Corporation at Sydney Airport on Tuesday night that he had decided to leave after discussions with the Muslim community.

He said he had not been asked to leave by the Australian government.

Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Peter Dutton said on Wednesday that the cleric left before Dutton's department cancelled his visa on Tuesday night.

And preach his hate here. As far a I know he could have left Australia and now be back in the states.

3. Hopefully he will become a man without a country.

Ever drifting on the seas, welcome nowhere. And BTW, why is it always a man with these opinions?

Apparently God is a man, too.

8. Why are all the Catholic Bishops men? That's part of the faith.

Women get to be hate mongering leaders in Protestant Christianity, see Anita Bryant and Phillis Shafely as classic examples. The US religious anti gay movement was very heavy on female leadership. They were the figureheads and chief baiters.
But in RCC or Islamic Bigotry Rituals, the men are in charge all they way down the line.
