I’ve never met the man behind SHEIK YER’MAMI face-to-face, but he’s a compatriot of mine from the Jihad Watch comments forums which have given rise to many would-be defenders of Western Civilization in recent years, myself included. So, when the Sheik informed me that he’d been outed from behind his pseudonym by a deceitful Australian journalist, I took notice. After all, I myself maintain my anonymity as a closely-guarded secret because I’m all-too-aware that defying so many Islamic cultists can have tragic consequences. One might hope that followers of the Religion of Peace® might let me live for ridiculing their ‘Prophet’ and stomping on the Qur’an, but alas, this is not the case.
And reporter Gavin King of the Cairns Post can not pretend to not understand this dire point or he might as well turn in his Press Pass today.
Sheik Yer’Mami provided me with the following email he received from Mr. King, which is the only reason he agreed to an interview in the first place:

Hi there, we’re interested in writing a story about your website and the
proposal to build a mosque in Cairns.
Can you please contact me with a phone number to discuss. Your name can
remain anonymous in the article if this suits.
Cheers, Gavin.

“Your name can remain anonymous in the article if this suits.” So much for that promise. This turns out to be nothing short of a journalistic hit-job.

If you read through the type in the scanned newspaper article above, you will clearly see that Gavin King names Sheik Yer’Mami, attempts to paint him as some hysterical inciter of violence against Muslims and then continues merrily on, all the while having put this blogger’s life and the lives of those close to him in jeopardy.
And so I blog on this today.
I contacted Mr. King two times via email and gave him a window of four days to respond with no result. I am now going to assume that silence is an admission of his guilt in outing Sheik Yer’Mami. I find this act reprehensible, traitorous, dhimmi and any number of other adjectives I’ll choose not to type publicly.

Gavin King — you and others like you are worse enemies to your own Western nations than the Islamists. You are cowards, liars and opportunists. I’m calling you out. I want the entire Blogosphere to make an example out of you, self-righteous betrayer.
So, I’m going to politely ask readers to click on that Digg button on the bottom of this article. Get the word out. Make some noise. Because if we allow the Press of any Western nation to operate without consequence for being dhimmified, then we do nothing less than invite our own doom and the hurts upon our own loved ones. And all because some people have the courage to stand up and yell the truth when 9/10ths of the planet buries its collective head in sand.
Email Gavin King: kingga@tcp.newsltd.com.au
Tell the rat-fink your opinion.
And finally, I invite Gavin King to come here to the Anvil and explain his position, if he can. But don’t expect a polite reception.

I have not been successful in a search for a direct email to the Cairns Post editor(s), but here is a link to their contacts page.
UPDATE: Sheik Yer’Mami has sent along a new email that just might lead to the editor of the Cairns Post: letters@tcp.com.au — Letters to the Editor.
