It has come to my attention today that an opinion piece has been authored and distributed by a Muslim activist, known for his offensive behaviour to women, by the name of Mr Irfan Yousef (sic.). He has made a number of scurrilous, ridiculous and inaccurate statements concerning me. For the record, I totally refute his statements but, as he has not resorted to bomb throwing, I guess we can handle his accusations.(House of Representatives Hansard, 6 September 2005, 3 days before my appointment as UNIFEM White Ribbon Day Ambassador campaigning to eliminate all forms of violence against women.)
... the rather exotic coalition candidate who was supplied for my seat, Mr Irfan Yusuf. He did, of course, make a major contribution to public debate in this country ...(House of Representatives Hansard, 13 March 2002. No hard feelings, Laurie, though I think your hairstyle is somewhat more exotic than mine!)
A woman by the name of Irfan Yusuf in the Canberra Times on 10 October described the Prime Minister as condemning: "… certain isolationist practices of Muslims before defending a fringe Christian sect with even more isolationist practices."(House of Representatives Hansard, 01 November 2006. Kelvin, understand this well: I ain't nobody's bitch!)

Irfan Yusuf, Muslim lawyer, joins the crowds condemning John Howard for saying a small minority of Muslims have trouble integrating and should learn to speak English ... Hear, here.(Andrew Bolt's blog, September 2006)
A group of more than a dozen Muslim organisations issued a collective statement objecting to Faiz's statements about rape. Sydney lawyer Irfan Yusef, self-described Aussie Mossie (Muslim), wrote an article for The Sydney Morning Herald speaking for "most in the Muslim community [who] feel revulsion at his comments".(Published in The Sydney Morning Herald on 1 May 2005.)
I spent much of the weekend going through your blog. I mean, f#cking hell. Put yourself in my f*cking shoes, mate. Why the f+ck should I run your stuff? Why should I do you any favours when you write that f^cking bullsh!t on your blog?(Conversation with Mr Blair.)
... egomaniac Irfan ...(Published on Mr Blair's blog)
Irfan, Irfan, how predictable to see you here. I understand you do not agree with my views but your intellectual dishonesty is really very funny. After our last encounter, I no longer take your jibes seriously. The only Muslim I gave the cold shoulder to was you because of your efforts to constantly misrepresent my views.(Published in Ms Albrechtsen's blog, 07 March 07, 6:02am. Wow, she got up so early to respond! I'm flattered ...)
