Media reports on Wednesday said Sheik Sekaleshfar left the country after Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull ordered a review of his visa. British-born Shia cleric Sheik Farrokh Sekaleshfar lectured near Orlando, Florida in April and was being widely quoted in the wake of Sunday's killing. An Islamic preacher who has said homosexuals should be put to death has left Australia. 'It's difficult for the department to go through the Facebook or social media postings of millions of millions of people each year who seek visas,' Mr Dutton told Sky News . But Mr Dutton defended his department against accusations that a visa for the sheik should never have been approved.
