Excerpt:
Australia's Grand Mufti has signalled open hostility to gay teachers in Islamic schools in defiance of Bill Shorten's proposed changes to discrimination laws, saying they engage in "abnormal practices that contradict nature" and suffer from "mental illness".

Sheik Hilaly yesterday told The Australian that homosexual teachers should "not impose their lifestyle on the rest of society, especially schools which are supposed to provide an environment of learning and culture and not a club for those seeking to satisfy their desires".
While Christian leaders have also defended the right of faith-based schools to hire staff who uphold their religious teachings and values, Sheik Hilaly yesterday demonstrated a stronger reluctance towards having gay teachers in Islamic schools.
