Australia's Mufti Mostafa Rashid was recently attacked by Egyptian lawyer Nabih al-Wahsh on a talk show following comments he made about the hijab.
Rashid said that hijab isn't mandatory in Islam, arguing that it is a cultural construct, not a religious edict.
"You're an apostate! You're an infidel" shouted Wahsh. "You're mentally ill! You need a mental hospital!" the mufti yells back as he gets to his feet.
Wahsh then takes off his shoe and beats the sheikh dressed in religious garb repeatedly.
But the Sheikh doesn't back down. He tries to pin him against the wall as Wahsh (interestingly, his name in Arabic means monster) continues to whack him with the shoe. The stand-off is broken up by the TV crew.
Firstly, Wahsh can be seen taking off his shoe ... preparing for attack
