An Islamic sheikh, who was sent into hiding over his support for an anti-Islam campaigner, has said halal-certification is threatening the Australian way of life.

Hiding out in Adelaide under police instruction, Sheikh Mohammad Tawhidi has said halal certification on chocolate Easter eggs is not necessary.

Imam Tawhidi said in a Facebook post: “Muslims would never eat products with Jewish terminologies or Christian cross”.

“Stamping Australian products with Islamic terminologies is an insult to 98 per cent of Australians, and is a threat to their way of life,” he wrote in the long social media post.

“I, as an Australian Muslim, feel very insulted when the culture I have adapted to for decades is now being changed.”

Earlier this month, Imam Tawhidi said that Islamic schools in Australia "are a problem and they need to be either shut down or changed completely".

Fearing reprisals, the Adelaide-based Imam said he was escorted into hiding by police.

Already facing considerable backlash, the controversial sheikh said that Muslims could easily find out if a product is Halal by checking the ingredients.

Halal certification is designed to ensure products are permissible in Islam, making it easier for manufacturers to export food to Indonesia, however the Adelaide based Sheikh thinks it is an unnecessary practice.
