The Muslim community has moved to distance itself from comments made by a Sydney cleric calling for children to be encouraged to die as Muslim martyrs.

The head of the Global Islam Youth Centre, Sheikh Feiz Mohammed, has also referred to Jewish people as "pigs", in a video of one of his lectures.

The DVDs were reportedly found being sold by children outside a mosque in Britain.

Islamic Friendship Association spokesman Kaysar Trad says the comments do not reflect the sentiments of the wider Muslim community.

"As a community, it is quite disconcerting for us that these comments are found from time to time and they're broadcast all over the news," he said.

"They certainly give the public an erroneous impression about Islam and Muslims."

Acting Attorney-General Kevin Andrews has condemned Sheikh Mohammed's comments.

"The importation of hatred in Australia is unacceptable," he said.

"It's offensive to the Australian people, it's reprehensible.

"It's particularly outrageous that certain groups in Australia, such as the Jewish community, have been highlighted in these comments, and we condemn the comments."

Where the outrage also should be directed is that this Shiek has the gall to complain that his wary of returning home to Australia.

He believes a rising anti-Islamic tide has made Muslims wary of their countrymen, forcing at least eight families to abandon their homeland for the Middle East.

From the foothills of his ancestral village in north Lebanon, the man with the most sway over the nation's Islamic youth says five years into the war on terror a dangerous divide exists here.

In a rare interview, Feiz, an Australian citizen, says he is apprehensive about returning home after spending more than 12 months in Lebanon caring for his ailing father.

"Imagine me going to the Opera House and taking photos," he says. "I can't walk through the airport without hundreds of eyes on me. They are like foxes trying to eat sheep.

Bagelblogger: No Sheikh it's quite apparent who the fox is. You message is of hate, of Jihad, of martyrdom operations. You espouse the virtues of Muslim parents encouraging their children to be good little Martyrs'.

Its unfathomable that some one of your moral bankruptcy could be in charge of the largest Islamic Youth organisation in Australia. Sheik Feiz Mohammed, is head of the Global Islamic Youth Centre in Sydney's western suburbs.

You have profound influence with thousands of Islamic children.

The Australian Authorities are 'looking into the Sheikh's comments', ...

When? When is the West going to realise these radicals want to destroy everything we believe in?

What's there to look at? It's on Video, he has incited people to terrorism, it's that simple. Jail him.

Throw away the key.
