Australian Islamist- Number 1 Enemy Is Europe and the U.S.

More Muslim radicals in Australia.

MEMRI has just posted a video of audio clips of Ismail Al-Wahwah (from the Aussie chapter of the extremist Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir) spewing anti-U.S. and anti-Europe rhetoric.

 "Our true conflict is with Europe and the US. They are the enemy."  "Your civilization will pay the price" for defiling our women's honor.

He blames all the problems in the Middle East (and the exodus of Arabs) on the U.S. and Western policies- the poverty, lack of oil and resources, is our fault. We stole it from them, and that's why they moved to the West.

When asked, he refuses to condemn ISIS. That's because he's a supporter. Back in October, he told a group of people that the world deserves a Caliphate.

Hostage Video Links Sydney Terrorist To Islamic State

Here's a video of several of the alleged Aussie Cafe Lindt hostages sharing the demands of Sheikh Man Haron Monis:  They claimed all he wanted was an ISIS flag, a phone call from Prime Minister Tony Abbott on live media, and that all media outlets should be informed that "this is an attack on Australia by the Islamic State."  The video is similar to the Islamic State propaganda videos of John Cantlie, the journalist being held hostage in Syria, slamming the U.K. government for not giving in to the demands of the terrorists.

Here's some background info on Monis. And here. 

So the man was very unstable, but he still carried out the attack in the name of religion, and wanted his affiliation to ISIS known. Exactly what ISIS has been calling for.

With his checkered, anti-Australia, violent background, why was he not deported back to Iran years ago?

Hal & Al's 72 Virgins Wine - First Anti-Islamic Alcoholic Beverage

Q Society, an anti-Islamic organization/think-tank based in Australia, created 'Hal & Al's Seventy Two Virgins' wine (a sparkling Brut) as a fundraiser of sorts.

Profit from sales are to be used by the organization to combat Islamic extremism, and what they deem as a culture war.

Their website has this to say:

Islam is not just a religion. It is also a political, legal, financial, social and military doctrine which extends to all facets of Muslim life, the cultural and legal landscape of where Muslims live and how to treat non-Muslims. Islam makes it obligatory for observant Muslims to assist in extending the rule of Islam across the world.

For too long Islam has enjoyed immunity from necessary analysis, due criticism and debate because of its status as “just a religion.” Unfortunately, if we continue to tolerate Islam without understanding it, Australia as a free, secular democracy will be lost.

This approach for criticizing Islam is from the “classical liberal” position, which is embraced by those both on the political left (such as atheists like Bill Maher) and the right. The Q Society affirms in their “Australian Values” statement that they oppose Islam specifically because it conflicts with the liberal values and openminded ideology of modern Australian culture.

Hal & Al (remove the ampersand and you get the meaning) has the following posted on the label:

 “Consumption of this Australian wine may prevent you from entering the Islamic Paradise. However, both the Jewish and Christian paradises remain open as alternative…."

More on PJMedia.

You could have purchased a bottle on their website for $72.00 Aussie, but it's already sold out. But they have a Halal shopping bag in stock for $5.00.

You know that if it was an American organization, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) would already have their lawyers on the case.

KKK Hood Worn In Aussie Anti-Niqab Protest

In an anti-Niqab protest, three Australian men - Sergio Redegalli, Nick Folkes and Victor Waterson - donned a Ku Klux Klan (KKK) white robe and hood, a black niqab, and a motorcycle helmet and trekked on over to the parliament building to prove a point. And as expected, upon arrival, they were told that they could not enter wearing the KKK hood or motorcycle helmet.

The men are involved in a movement called "Faceless" - they want the Muslim burqa and niqab (which covers all but the eyes) to be banned nation-wide, in public, and called the decision to allow Muslim face-coverings but not helmets or KKK hoods hypocritical.

“It seems that you're allowed to wear a full-face covering into Parliament if you're a Muslim woman, but no other group is allowed to have that same privilege,” Redegalli said.

“We, as males, are not allowed to wear any face coverings in Parliament House."

Niqab and Burqa-clad women are allowed entrance into the Parliament House as long as they show their faces at the security checkpoint.

A bill to force women wearing a niqab to sit in a special area, was reversed after it was deemed discriminatory.

Australia Caves On Niqab Segregation In Parliament

Looks like Australia caved on a plan to segregate visiting Muslim women- donning burqas and niqabs- at Parliament House. It was proposed, citing obvious security concerns, but too many people balked, and so, boom, it's gone.  They were to be seated in glassed enclosures where rambunctious school kids usually sit during parliament visits.

One would think the women would be happy to be separated from potential contact with males, after all, they are segregated in their mosques, why should they care. This really isn't very different from the segregation they already encounter, but human rights and race discrimination activists thought differently.

Race discrimination commissioner Tim Soutphommasane told Fairfax Media the original ruling meant Muslim women were being treated differently to non-Muslim women.

"No-one should be treated like a second-class citizen, not least in the parliament,” he said.

“I have yet to see any expert opinion or analysis to date which indicates that the burqa or the niqab represents an additional or special security threat.”

What?  They want to be treated differently than non-Muslim women, that's why they wear burqas and niqabs in a Western society in the first place. And if they're wearing burqas, they're already being treated as second-class citizens, so what's the difference.  And burqas and niqabs are most definitely a security threat. Lot's of space under that garb to hide any manner of explosives or weapons.

But it wasn't just activists who were opposed.

..Labor opposition frontbencher Tony Burke welcomed the backdown but said the initial decision should never have been made.

“What possessed them to think that segregation was a good idea?” he said.

“Segregation was previously introduced, apparently, with no security advice attached to it and no security reason attached to it.”

Apparently, they have now changed the rules.

The Department of Parliamentary Services said in a statement that the rules had been changed and all visitors must now “temporarily remove any coverings” that prevent the recognition of facial features.

“This will enable security staff to identify anyone who may have been banned from entering the building or who may be known to be a security risk,” it said.

“Once this process has taken place visitors are free to move about the public spaces of the building, including all chamber galleries, with facial coverings in place”.

Fools.

Aussie ISIS Supporter- World "Deserves" A Caliphate

Ismail Al-Wahwah, an Australian sheik who happens to be an Islamic extremist, told a crowd of 200 or so people at a Hizb ut-Tahrir lecture in Sydney:

“We believe this world deserves a new world order."

In other words, an Islamic State caliphate.  That's because capitalism has failed.

The crowd was engaged and calm except for a moment of slight tension when an audience member asked the sheik about the penalty under sharia law for a Muslim leaving the Islamic faith.

A 70-year-old woman also hit out at Al-Wahwah for criticising Australian values and told him to stop waving his finger around.

Hizb ut-Tahrir advocates that secular governments be replaced and Muslim-majority countries unite under a global caliphate governed by Islamic law.

The Connection Between Aussie Radical Islamists and Muslim Gangs/Criminals

Although it seems to be exclusively an Australian problem, there seems to be a connection between the Lebanese Muslim community gangs and criminal element, and easy recruitment of ISIS militants.

The children of refugees who fled Lebanon’s civil war for peaceful Australia in the 1970s form a majority of Australian militants fighting in the Middle East, according to about a dozen counter-terrorism officials, security experts and Muslim community members.

Of the 160 or so Australian militants believed to be in Iraq or Syria, several are in senior leadership positions, they say.

But unlike fighters from Britain, France or Germany, who experts say are mostly jobless and alienated, a number of the Australian fighters grew up in a tight-knit criminal gang culture, dominated by men with family ties to the region around the Lebanese city of Tripoli, near the border with Syria.

The rest here. It's an interesting read.

Aussie Senator Tells Sharia Supporters To Pack Their Bags And Get Out

Last month, an Australian Palmer United Party senator Jacqui Lambie told supporters of sharia law to just leave.  She also believes they should have no right to vote, or be given government assistance.

“Anybody that supports Sharia law in Australia should not have the right to vote, should not be given government handouts and should probably pack up their bags and get out of here,” she told reporters in Hobart.

“Anybody supporting or calling for sharia law in Australia can get out. Simple as that.”

She believes that Australia needs to deal with the problem now before it becomes "bigger and more dangerous well into the future.”

It's something that every Western democracy needs to tackle. Now.

Muslim Doctor Offers To Pay Islamic Radicals To Leave Australia

Dr. Jamal Rifi, national finalist in Australia's Local Hero 2009, and founding member of the Christian Muslim Friendship Society, told Islamic extremists he'd "buy them a one-way ticket out of Australia." This was in response to the manager of Al-Risalah Islamic Center- Wissam Haddad- saying that he and his flock would

“give up their passports” if they could leave without “being incriminated”.

Haddad was responding to Australia's announcement regarding the implementation of a $64 million package to counter violent extremism and radicalization.

Dr. Rifi said:

“Let them give away their citizenship. These people are saying they want to go and ­relieve the oppressed Muslims overseas.

“Why would they care so much about the oppression of the Muslims overseas and through their actions and statements cause so much ­oppression and trouble to the Muslims in Australia?”

Haddad had spoken on a radio show and about leaving without incrimination and then posted on Facebook:

“So from what I’ve heard I have been depicted as a radical extremist lunitic (sic) who allegedly supports terror ­activity overseas, (news to me),” he posted on Facebook.

He then issued a challenge to the Australian government to charge Hadley and his listeners who wanted to fund his return to the Middle East.

“Will Ray and his friends be charged with incitement or with the new foreign incursions act I await your humble reply!” Mr Haddad posted on Facebook yesterday, adding in the same Facebook post: “Don’t run Ray”.

Hadley, who exclusively broke the story about the men wanting to revoke their citizenship, refused to be baited by the radicals when The Daily Telegraph contacted him about the post.

Mr Haddad also previously commented he would “live and die” for the Islamic flag not the Australian flag, which also shocked Dr Rifi.

Rifi's response:

“If given the option to fight for the Australian flag or the ISIS (Islamic State) flag I, without any hesitation, will choose the Australian flag ­because I totally believe ISIS and its ideology are the enemy of Islam."

"I am in touch with my community and I am talking in the voice of the majority.”

Good for Rifi.

But not many high-profile Muslims are willing to openly criticize extremists.  After all, they're usually threatened, as was Rifi himself. Back in early August Rifi was threatened by Islamic State jihadist Mohamed Elomar.

Aussie Imam Charged With Marrying 12-Year-Old Girl To 26-Year-Old Man

26-year-old Lebanese Muslim guy moves to Australia in 2013 on a student visa, hooks up with a 12-year-old girl (also Muslim, I assume), and eventually moves to Sydney with the pre-pubescent in tow. In spite of the fact that pre-marital sex is forbidden in Islam, they apparently were doing the deed, and were eventually married by a Pakistan-born imam in early 2014. Since you have to be 18 to get married in Australia, and since Lebanese guy was having sex with a 12-year-old, they're both in a tad bit of trouble. Imam has been charged with "solemnization of a marriage by an unauthorized person." And pedophile hubby is facing "25 counts of sexual intercourse with a child between 10 and 14 years" and is currently sitting in jail awaiting his day in court. The imam received conditional bail and will face the music on April 2nd.

For some reason the parents of the girl have yet to be charged, although they should be.

Anti-Semitic Attack By 8 Muslim Punks At Sydney Hotel

8 Muslim youth attacked a group of 5 Jewish tourists  walking back from a sabbath dinner to their hotel in Sydney, Australia. All five suffered injuries- two seriously- including a broken nose and fractured cheekbone.  It was an unprovoked, anti-Semitic attack. Hotel staff managed to stop the attack, which was caught on tape.

Only three of the eight punks have been arrested.

Video- Aussie Sheik Asks Allah To Kill All Buddhists and Hindus And Other Stuff

In this video- Australian Muslim Sheik Sharif Hussein blames the Jews' influence on "presidents, ministers or leaders of secular pan-Arab movements" for creating strife "within Muslim societies."  Right, the Western infidels have caused all that Muslim on Muslim violence all over the Middle East and elsewhere.

He also claims British and American "Crusader troops" aided by Australia, raped tens of thousands of women in Iraq. And because of that, he believes former Prime  Minister John Howard should have (and would have had Muslims had any say) been tried as a war criminal for razing Afghanistan and Iraq to the ground. As far as I know both those countries are still standing, and just as well they don't have any say. 

Then he warns "enemy of Allah" Barack Obama, who kisses "the shoes and feet of the Jews,"  that some day he will be "trampled upon by the pure feet of the Muslims." 

Then he asks Allah to kill all the Hindus and Buddhists.

Charming.  And this guy is allowed to live in Australia?  These types need to have their posteriors deported back to where they came from.

(He's not anywhere on Google, so not sure if this is actually the correct name.)

Aussie Imam- Over 100 Extremists Capable Of Violence Living In Sydney

A moderate Australian imam, Afroz Ali, admits that there are well over 100 radicalized young Muslim men living in Sydney suburbs who are on the verge of going over to the dark side of terrorism, and there's nothing he can do about it, although he's tried his damnedest.

Ali voiced his concern to 20 other imams during the April National Imam's Consultative Forum, which has the backing of the Aussie government.

"We have had a program for the last seven years now in which we have had 240 people who were considered to be moving in a direction which may have led them to violent radicalisation - to terrorism," Imam Afroz told the national forum.

"What we have found is, of the 240 people, 120, exactly half of them, are people who have changed their thinking, their mindset. That is something that I don't necessarily share too widely in public, but I am happy to share it here."

The videotaped conference is only just  airing on Channel 7's Today Tonight, and they were unable to contact Afroz for comment.  However, ex-radical Maajid Nawaz was available to talk.

He said he did not consider it a success that there were still 120 young radicals potentially headed for terrorism.

"I find it astonishing we've got one centre that has 240 radicals," Mr Mawaz told Today Tonight

"If 120 can become violent in one Islamic centre, that tells me the scale of the problem. It's massive because that's only one centre."

Australians should be very scared.

Niqab-Clad Aussie Muslim Teen Files Complaint Over Refusal Of Service

There is no reason why a Muslim teenage girl, born and living in Australia, should be wearing a full face-veil (niqab). But Hafsah Negussie has chosen to do so and is now claiming that she was traumatized and that her rights were violated when a BP gas station attendant locked her up in the gas station and refused her service. This happened back in December, the girl is only now filing a complaint. BP has (foolishly) apologized  for the lack of service, but denies that she was locked up. I know who I would believe.

A Muslim teenager in Australia’s second-largest state of Queensland is complaining of being denied service and locked at a service station because of her face-veil (niqab).

“It's so horrific,” teenager Hafsah Negussie told Courier Mail on Monday, April 29.

"I'm Australian, I was born and raised here, I know my rights.”

The case goes back to December last year when Negussie, who dons Islamic face-veil, tried to pay for her goods at a Brisbane service station after a worker refused to serve her.

She also complained that the doors were locked by the attendant when she attempted to leave.

The incident was reported to police but no official report was filed until the Muslim teenager came forward again in April.

A company spokesman for BP service stations said the business required customers to remove helmets, hoodies or large hats before approaching the counter.

He, however, said that the policy did not extend to religious headwear, admitting that the attendant involved had misunderstood business requirements.

"This was regrettable and we wish to apologize most sincerely for this lapse,” he said.

"We are also reminding all our service station staff of our company's approach to religious headgear.”

Halal Invades Australia

Halal certification has become big business in Australia. In fact it's made the man in the video below  very rich. But some people are very upset some products do not list that they are halal certified when in actuality they are. So, one Australian woman is fighting back. She created a website Halal Choices which includes a list of products that are halal including a graphic video of what happens during halal  slaughter.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly- Christmas Around The Globe

Christmas is coming to a close in the U.S. In some regions of the world it has already come and gone, so I thought I'd give a little round up of Christmas happenings across the globe.

THE GOOD:

PAKISTAN: A small Christian community of about 200 in South Waziristan, Pakistan (smack dab in Taliban/al-Qaeda land), got to celebrate their Christmas at their little church inside the safety of an army base, where most congregants happen to live and work. They seem to live in harmony with their Muslim neighbours under the protection of the military.

AUSTRALIA:  Largest mosque in Australia backs down from its anti-Christmas fatwa.  Even wishing someone a "Merry Christmas" was to be considered a sin. Of course the backtracking was in response to outrage from both Muslims and non-Muslims alike.   (H/T TROP)


THE BAD:

INDONESIA: Moderate Indonesia's top clerics told Muslims it would be best not to wish anybody "Merry Christmas", because they weren't entirely sure if it was haram (forbidden) or halal (okay). Christmas parties? Definitely haram.  "Happy New Year", on the other hand, is fine.

and

200 or so conservative Muslims pelted about 100 or so Christians with rotten eggs as they were gathering to worship on a plot of land they hope to build a church. The government has barred them from doing so since 2009. (H/T TROP)

ISRAEL:  Businesses with Christmas trees faced losing their Kashrut (Kosher) certificates.

KUWAIT: Some radical conservative Muslims in Kuwait called for a ban on Christmas celebrations, but were blasted by liberal groups. Kuwait allows Christians to worship in the 12 or so churches there.

THE UGLY:

NIGERIA:  Six Christians, including the pastor, were killed in northern Nigeria as they celebrated midnight mass on Christmas eve. The church was then set on fire. (H/T TROP)

NIGERIA: At least six more killed in another church attack.

Australia's Gun Control Law Prompts Higher Crime Rates

As expected, the gun control debate has been dominating my Facebook feed. This is one of the photos that has been circulating:

Everyone has been touting Australia's gun control laws. Yes, the mass shootings have stopped, but apparently crime has increased, according to the report below.

Aussie Kid With "Behead" Sign Deemed Safe With Mum, After Mum Talks To Police

The stupid mum who thought it would be cool to take a photo of her young son with a "Behead all those who insult the prophet" placard at the recent anti-Islam film riots in Sydney, decided to pay a little visit to the authorities after there was a call to track down the idiot. Apparently, children's services deemed the kids were safe with a mother who obviously has no common sense.

A spokesman for Family and Community Services Minister Pru Goward told smh.com.au the woman had presented herself to police overnight.

"She did come forward and police have checked the children and they're safe'"

"There's been no other reports to our helpline in regards to these children."

He said there were no plans to remove the children from their family.

According to Goward,

"She apparently said the child had been brought [to the protest] because they didn't expect it to become violent, which you might disagree with, but that was her account."

"The police then went back to the house and assessed the children and assessed that they were safe. So that is where they remain.

"But I think there is unfinished business in ensuring that the messages about mutual respect and non-violence are applied to all of us and that all our communities understand that that's what we certainly particularly expect from children.

"Parents do crazy things; she might just well have thought it was a giggle to get him to hold the sign, a cute little photograph.

"But it is just unacceptable to the rest of us.

"This family are now on the radar. We've had a full history done and there have been no other reports. But she knows ... that there is now a report and there will be follow-up and it's something that she will need to be conscious of."

Didn't expect it to get violent?  Who takes a child, along with a baby in a stroller, to a protest by a group of people who have very short fuses and almost always turn to violence.  And a giggle? A giggle is posing your kid with Mickey or Minnie Mouse at Disneyland. Posing your son with a major incitement to violence is child abuse.  To have no compunction about having your offspring hold an outrageous sign while casually taking his photo is an indication of  where her true feelings lie. No innocent here. Calling to behead those who insult Islam is about as radical as you can get.

At least there have been members of the Muslim community who condemned her for actions.

Lebanese Muslim Association president Samier Dandan says while he welcomes the mother’s decision to go to police, he disapproves of the behaviour.
‘‘That’s something that we don’t encourage within our community, it’s something we condemn,’’ he told reporters at Lakemba mosque in Sydney’s west today.
Mr Dandan said he would try to talk to the mother, but added he had been told the boy may have found the sign on the street and was ‘‘caught up in the hype’’ during the demonstrations. ‘‘Does a child really understand what’s written on that placard?’’ he said.

No, the child may not know, but mummy certainly does. And as curious as children are, you don't think he asked mummy what the sign meant?

George Christensen, MP wasn't so understanding:

"Using a toddler to peddle an incitement to violent killing is disgusting and I think the Australian public would expect the authorities to take up the matter with the parents," Mr Christensen said in a statement yesterday.

"If the parents are exposing their children to religious hatred and encouraging violence then perhaps those children should be put in the care of better people."

He's right. I guess mummy can go back to training her cute little wonder for jihad.

Young Kids Hold "Behead Those Who Insult The Prophet" Signs At Aussie Anti-Islam Film Protest

You'd think that in civilized Sydney, Australian Muslims protesting the anti-Islam film "The Innocence of Muslims" would have remained, well, civilized, but that was definitely not the case.  They turned into violent animals just like their Muslim cousins over in the Middle East, parts of Africa, and wherever else they felt the need to react like rabid dogs over a movie made by a handful of amateurish hack filmmakers.

The violence isn't the only thing that had Aussies horrified, the fact that children were holding signs "Behead all those who insult the prophet" has them even more sickened. Here you have proud mummy taking a photo of her darling little boy holding one of  those signs ( see photo below). And no, it's not photoshopped.  Authorities want the use of young children  to be investigated, and the Australian Daily Telegraph is actually asking anyone who knows who the woman might be to contact them at  news@dailytelegraph.com.au.

Way to go mum. Teach them while nice and young.

Six policemen were injured during the violent riot. Read about the riots here, and here.

What do these people honestly think they are accomplishing?  Their violent actions simply confirm that their religion is far from peaceful, and it's certainly not going to stop people from criticizing them for it.  Some Aussie Muslims have condemned the protesters for turning violent, but they should do a better job of reigning them in, or Australia should deport all their asses. 

Hypocrisy of Hijab High-Fashion

I believe that most women who don the hijab, niqab or burqa are either forced to by their men-folk, or they wear them out of some skewed quasi-religious/feminist ideology that compels them to make a political statement, of sorts, out of their Islamic garb: I am Muslim, Hear Me Roar.  For others it's a litmus test for their supposed 'piety', as if you can't be a moral person without covering your head.

There are also those Muslims (and many of them female) who claim that women are obliged to dress modestly because they don't want to tempt men, who I suppose have absolutely no control over their sexual instincts if they are aroused by a woman's ponytail.

Islam commands women to cover their bodies so as not to trouble men who are weak and unable to resist temptation. In Islam, men and women are commanded to dress modestly and not appear "naked" in public, even in all male and female situations.

By covering their bodies from head to toe these women feel they are not calling attention to themselves, and therefore saving men from committing fitnah by lusting after them. This might very well be true in Arab lands where the hijab/abayas etc are the norm, but in Western countries where it's more of an oddity than anything else, they stand out like sore thumbs, which would seem to defeat the purpose.

According to Islam, men are supposed to dress modestly as well, but unless they are wearing a Thobe (tunic) or shemagh (head dress) Muslim men are usually dressed in Western clothing (often jeans and t-shirts), and unless they are accompanied by their hijab or burqa-wearing wives, there's no way you would identify them as Muslim. One reminder of  gender inequality  in Islam, and its inherent hypocrisy.

Ironically, the resurgence of interest in the hijab came after 9/11, but not satisfied with the dull colors and styles that typify modest Islamic clothing, Muslim women who wear the hijab, niqab or burqa (for whatever reason) are now clamoring to prettify their outfits, and Islamic high-fashion has emerged.

In Australia, an exhibit - Faith, fashion, fusion: Muslim women's style in Australia- has just opened at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, which features the latest styles and trends for modest women's clothing. Some of the outfits are actually quite attractive, but many are as form-fitting simply longer versions of their Western counterparts.  Designers have brought color and style to the normally drab garments, but fail to see the utter hypocrisy in trying to look fashionable while trying to maintain a semblance of so-called modesty. Now, not only are they drawing attention to themselves by wearing a veil, they are attracting even more attention by making themselves look trendy.
