Follow-up On The Undercover Mosque Documentary

Earlier this week I wrote about the British documentary Undercover Mosque. Since then I have learned via the NY Times The Lede blog that one of the clerics (Imam?) featured in the documentary is under investigation by the Australian government for his comments:

The comments of an influential Australian Muslim cleric, revealed in a British TV documentary earlier this week, are fueling outrage, with authorities down under investigating whether the the cleric had broken anti-terrorism laws, according to various reports.

Tom Zeller's post references the BBC and AP, but neither Zeller nor the source articles reference the documentary by name. AP does mention a video clip is available on You Tube. I had to dig around on Google to find an article from News.com.au to confirm that it was the same documentary. I am an amateur here but it seems to me that without that reference people are denied a way to put things in context.
