Muslim Cleric to Dead Soldier's Dad: You can't be proud

Ray Robison e-mailed wondering if we couldn't find out who the Muslim cleric was that posted a letter to the father of a slain Australian solder who was killed in Afghanistan. The cleric wrote the father of Luke Worsley telling him he "can't be proud" of his son who "died for nothing", and posted a copy of the letter online.Can we find him? Dude, we're the frickin' Jawa. That's what we do.The cleric goes by the handle of 'Sheikh Haron' (Arabized version of Aaron).
Here's the letter, and some of the highlights:
Dear Sir,
It was good to talk to you on the phone today. In our conversation as I asked your permission I wanted to send you a letter to express my feelings about the recent incident in Afghanistan....
23 November [ed. note: the day Luke Worsley was killed] like many other days is wake up call for all Australians to think more about the value of the life of innocent people, about the oppression which many types of damages it causes in the society, about an oppressed system that takes human being to the wrong direction of the future, about the evil we do while we think it is good and blessing, about killing innocent while we are proud of it, about satanic politics that encourages innocent young soldiers to go to the unjust battles.
How can I express my feelings for all these families around the world. It is painful for any human being to hear from the news that almost every day a family looses a member because of the unfair war...
Dear Mr. John Worsley it is painful but weshould be proud when we loose our dear kids for defending our countrywhile we are unjustly attacked by another country but it is more painful and we can’t be proud when we loose our dear kids for nothing! We loose our dear kids for nothing If we unjustly attack to another country and our kids are killed while the other country is defending itself. May God grant you and your family patience. Amen.
Kind regards
Sheikh Haron
In other works 'Sheikh Haron' says:
Well if the Australian Government doesn’t care about Non Muslim terrorist victims, so obviously it is not war on terror. It is war on Islam. He also claims it's illegal to read the Koran out loud in Australia since Austarlia's anti-terror laws:
doesn’t permit anyone to incite or instruct terrorism directly or indirectly. If I recite the Quran, even without any interpretation of the texts, only by reciting the Quran for others, the Australian Government can claim that the reciter has been trying to incite or instruct terrorism.His words, not mine. He even lists the many versus in the Koran which could be taken as an incitement to violence. I hope you see the implication here.
Sheikh Haron calls himself as an "Australian Muslim cleric", but that's all we know about him at this time. Several whois searches show that he registered either with false information, or using a Yahoo whois masking service. In the former case, it's grounds to have his website shut down.
But a challenge has been issued. Judging from his less than perfect English, I'd guess that 'Sheikh Haron' is an immigrant. That, or just ignorant. It's a start.
UPDATE: It's funny, a few Muslim groups and bloggers claim Haron isn't really a Muslim, and possibly he's part of a conspiracy to make Muslims look bad. But the paranoia goes both ways. Check this out from Haron:
I am followed and monitored wherever I go. If it is planned and operated by the Government please ask them to stop. I do not feel comfortable like this. I need to have my privacy. Please ask them to respect to my privacy.
Privacy? Right. Like maybe respecting the privacy of a family mourning for their slain son? Or like maybe not publicly posting the address of the family of the slain soldier?

As in the days of Noah....
