( JASON REED / REUTERS )CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA — An Islamic cleric has left Australia after comments he made against homosexuality sparked a government review of his visa, officials said Wednesday. Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Peter Dutton said on Wednesday that the cleric left before Dutton’s department cancelled his visa Tuesday night. Sekaleshfar told ABC his comments had been taken out of context. Farrokh Sekaleshfar, a British-born doctor and senior Shi'ite Muslim scholar, arrives at the Imam Husain Islamic Centre in Sydney, Australia, June 14. Dutton said he had ordered the visa review after becoming aware on Monday of the cleric’s presence in Australia.
