Embarrassed about being caught out lying, Australian religious extremist Musa Cerantonio aggressively pushed his hand up and stormed out of an interview in a Philippine jail.
"I was having a nice dream – you disrupted me," said the 29-year-old Melbourne-born convert from Catholicism to Islam, after the jail warden had asked him to come to his to office for an interview with Fairfax Media.
Tall and heavily built, Mr Cerantonio refused to sit on a sofa in the office, declaring the only thing he wanted to do was go back to his isolation cell.
"I want to go back to my dream," he said.
Mr Cerantonio, one of the most influential Islamist preachers who support jihadists fighting in the Middle East, claimed early this month in Twitter posts he had successfully made it to the Middle East, when in fact he had been living in the Philippines for about a year.
