Australian Islamic Clerics Preaching Tax Cheating?

According to Islamic leader Fadi Rahman, extremist clerics are telling their followers to cheat the Australian tax system because it chides with their version of Sharia law. Mr. Rahman brings up an excellent point: "I mean, just like how you've got clerics (with) extreme views who are telling the Muslims in the western world to declare war against the very country that they live in and the very country that is paying for their day to day life, you'll find that these are the clerics that are telling them to dodge the tax system."

I say good, let them cheat the Australian tax system. It gives them an excuse to throw them in jail for long periods of time. Give the government that you're at war with a reason to send you to jail, good plan genius.

Of course, the clerics deny this, but why would they admit to tax evasion? Watch the Australian IRS get involved into this little nasty discussion. I'm sure their American counterparts would love to help the Australian government find and prosecute tax cheats.
