==Controversy== |
|||
===Blaming women for being raped=== |
|||
On [[18 March]] [[2005]], he gained notoriety for blaming women for being rape victims. At a $15-a-head lecture to more than one thousand people, he said:<blockquote>"A victim of rape every minute somewhere in the world. Why? No one to blame but herself. She displayed her beauty to the entire world...</blockquote> |
|||
<blockquote>"Strapless, backless, sleeveless, nothing but satanic skirts, slit skirts, translucent blouses, miniskirts, tight jeans: all this to tease man and appeal to his carnal nature.</blockquote> |
|||
It's good to mention here, that Sheikh Feiz lived most of his teen |

<blockquote>"Would you put this sheep that you adore in the middle of hungry wolves? No... It would be devoured. It's the same situation here.

Catastrophic devastation, sexual harassment, perversion, promiscuity.<ref name=women /> |

|||
without the recognition of his Great Creator. He was `Tough' having |
|||
all the Aussie lifestyle could offer, except true happiness. He was |
|||
well known as "Frank the Killer" in his boxing days, and "The Beast" |
|||
in his bodybuilding days, due to his robust character and tough |
|||
behaviour. Even with all things at his fingertips, he felt a need for |
|||
more. He was born into a so called "Muslim" family but never placed |
|||
any effort in understanding the deen of truth due to the negative |
|||
influence that surrounded him. After a hard life on the streets, he |
|||
realized that his existence meant much more then living as a hooligan. |
|||
He began investigating other religions, but found them deficient in |
|||
every perspective. After entering a mosque to ask questions about |
|||
Islam, he realized that Allah sent him there (to the mosque) in order |
|||
to guide him not confuse him. |
|||
===''Death Series'' DVDs=== |
|||
In [[2007]], the Australian Federal Police investigated whether 16 [[DVD]]s of Mohammed's sermons, called the ''Death Series'', broke laws against sedition, [[racial vilification]], and inciting violence and terrorism.<ref name=probe /><ref name=cleric>[http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/world/20070119-0130-australia-clericcontroversy.html "Fiery Australian cleric claims jihad remarks were misunderstood"], by Meraiah Foley, ''San Diego Union-Tribune'', 19 January 2007</ref> The DVDs came to public attention when they were featured in the documentary [[Undercover Mosque]], which aired on [[United Kingdom|Britain]]'s [[Channel 4]]; the DVDs were being sold by children in the parking lot of a Birmingham mosque. |
|||
In the documentary, he says of non-Muslims, "[[kafir|Kaffir]] is the worst word ever written, a sign of infidelity, disbelief, filth, a sign of dirt."<ref name=police /> In one DVD, Mohammed said that children should be encouraged to become jihadists: "We want to have children and offer them as soldiers defending Islam... Teach them this: there is nothing more beloved to me than wanting to die as a [[mujahid]]. Put in their soft, tender hearts the zeal of jihad and a love of martyrdom."<ref name=probe /> Elsewhere, he said, "Jews are pigs that will be killed at the end of the world".<ref name=outrage /> He also said concerning Jews, "They have got the most extreme racial pride in them. They say that every single non-Jew is a slave created to serve the Jews ... Their time will come like every other evil person's time will come."<ref>[http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/video-nasty-attacks-jews/2007/01/18/1169095908942.html "Video nasty attacks Jews"], by Jano Gibson and Nick O'Malley, ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', 19 January 2007</ref> |

interest towards the youth. He realized the importance of becoming a |

Da'ee with a native English tongue, in order to proclaim the word of |
|||
Allah to those who were similar to himself. |
|||
He immediately packed his luggage and embarked upon the greatest and |
|||
most fruitful epic and endeavor of his existence, which was to travel |
|||
to the land of the first Islamic state, Medina, to educate himself in |
|||
the greatest knowledge ever, the knowledge of the path to Paradise. |
|||
He completed two years of intense Arabic and then 4 years of Islamic |

Law, specializing in the Science of Hadith. He studied under the likes |

of Sheikhs such as Muhammad ibn Uthaymeen, Ali Al-Hudaythi and |
|||
Al-Albaani, among others. |

He returned to Australia on completion, to fulfill his dream which was |

to cater to the needs of the youth, especially those lost on the |

streets. In the year 2000, sheikh Feiz founded and became the Amir |

of the "Global Islamic Youth Centre" (G.I.Y.C.). |

The G.I.Y.C is a centre of learning and a place that encourages the |

youth to be better Muslims. It has a gym, recreational facilities, |

Feiz Mohammad (born 1970-71) is an Australian Muslim preacher, head of the Global Islamic Youth Centre in Liverpool, a suburb of Sydney. He was featured on a British television documentary called Undercover Mosque. He is a member of Sunni Islam
Sheikh Feiz born in Sydney, Australia, spent the first part of his life in the field of sports. At the age of 17 he received a title in boxing and then at 19, he won the Australian bodybuilding championship. He was about to leave for America to represent Australia in the world championships, when Allah placed emaan in his heart and he swapped his ticket to America, for one to study Islam in the University of Medina, Saudi Arabia.
It's good to mention here, that Sheikh Feiz lived most of his teen life in a gangster environment in the streets of the city of Sydney, without the recognition of his Great Creator. He was `Tough' having all the Aussie lifestyle could offer, except true happiness. He was well known as "Frank the Killer" in his boxing days, and "The Beast" in his bodybuilding days, due to his robust character and tough behaviour. Even with all things at his fingertips, he felt a need for more. He was born into a so called "Muslim" family but never placed any effort in understanding the deen of truth due to the negative influence that surrounded him. After a hard life on the streets, he realized that his existence meant much more then living as a hooligan. He began investigating other religions, but found them deficient in every perspective. After entering a mosque to ask questions about Islam, he realized that Allah sent him there (to the mosque) in order to guide him not confuse him.
He attended lessons within the mosques around Sydney, but found that all of them were unattractive, hard to understand and showed lack of interest towards the youth. He realized the importance of becoming a Da'ee with a native English tongue, in order to proclaim the word of Allah to those who were similar to himself. He immediately packed his luggage and embarked upon the greatest and most fruitful epic and endeavor of his existence, which was to travel to the land of the first Islamic state, Medina, to educate himself in the greatest knowledge ever, the knowledge of the path to Paradise. He completed two years of intense Arabic and then 4 years of Islamic Law, specializing in the Science of Hadith. He studied under the likes of Sheikhs such as Muhammad ibn Uthaymeen, Ali Al-Hudaythi and Al-Albaani, among others.
He returned to Australia on completion, to fulfill his dream which was to cater to the needs of the youth, especially those lost on the streets. In the year 2000, sheikh Feiz founded and became the Amir of the "Global Islamic Youth Centre" (G.I.Y.C.). The G.I.Y.C is a centre of learning and a place that encourages the youth to be better Muslims. It has a gym, recreational facilities, including youth camps and many lessons on Islam both general and in depth. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bpbnwGQpGHI (part 1)
His aim in opening the centre, was to take the youth off the streets
and into an Islamic environment, knowing too well how easy it is to be
left to stray in a non Muslim society.
His unique style of speech, and his unwavering stance on Islam, has
attracted the young and old from all over the world. His refusal to
"water down" his religion has drawn forth the critics, but he remains
steadfast, believing in Allahs message and the true meaning of "no

His Aqeedah is on the methodology of our pious predecessors
unconditionally, without blindly following any school of thought or
any person, except for the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasalam. He
strictly upholds no other then Qur'an and Sunnah.
He is currently residing in Malaysia pursuing his studies under
Islam, while teaching at various places within Malaysia, and also on
the internet.
