Here is yet more evidence that charges of “Islamophobia” are meant to deflect attention away from jihad terror plotting and provide cover for jihad massacres.
“Sydney man jailed after buying knives for ‘imminent’ terrorist attack,” by Georgina Mitchell, Sydney Morning Herald, November 11, 2020:
A young man who bought knives from a western Sydney gun shop in preparation for an imminent terrorist attack has been jailed for at least 12 years after a judge described him as a committed terrorist….
In jailing him for a maximum of 16 years with a non-parole period of 12 years, Justice Bellew said he is satisfied the man is “an unequivocally committed terrorist who, in acting as he did, was motivated by an extremist, perverted and corrupt ideology which advocated violence in the name of religion”.
“I am satisfied that a terrorist attack, to be perpetrated on innocent members of the public with the use of the knives which had been purchased, was imminent,” Justice Bellew said….
The 20-year-old – who cannot be named because he was 16 at the time of his offending – went to the Bankstown store with a friend, also aged 16, on October 12, 2016. He gave the friend money and waited outside as the friend bought a knife sharpener and two serrated M9 bayonet knives that were about 30cm long including the handle.
The pair had visited the same store six days earlier and bought two other knives, telling the shop attendant they were going pig hunting….
The teenagers then went to a Bankstown prayer hall, where they were arrested at about 12pm and charged with doing an act in preparation or planning for a terrorist act…
Justice Bellew said the man had accessed a large amount of extremist material, including YouTube videos about knife attacks, in the lead-up to buying knives for the second time on October 12.
He had previously downloaded a copy of the Islamic State magazine, searched on his phone 17 times for a video produced by Islamic State, and visited websites with titles including “When is it waajib for a person to ask his parents permission to go to jihad”.
When the man was arrested, police searched his backpack and found the knives, a receipt from the gun shop, a knife-sharpener, a mobile phone with no battery or SIM card, a phone case, a pair of goggles, and a piece of paper.
The paper said in Arabic: “I advise you to fear God … and pledge allegiance to the Caliph, because whoever dies without pledging allegiance will die a pre-Islamic death.”
Justice Bellew also outlined the man’s behaviour in custody, including receiving 100 misbehaviour reports while in juvenile justice, climbing on top of cricket nets and refusing to come down for 65 hours, and going on a hunger strike.
More recently, the man barricaded himself in his cell at Goulburn, had to be physically carried into court by four correctional officers for his sentence hearing, and ranted at that hearing that it was “islamophobic” and a “false proceeding”….

I blame moderates and I blame the left
Here’s why :
1) If all muslims were fundamentalist we could nail them in a decade
OR
2) Also, if the left wasn’t such a pain in the arse we could nail radical islam in a decade
Thus the radicals themselves are far from being the worst element in the equation
Bad Penguin says
Well Said.
Sad thing is the gun shop owner knew they were muslim and therefor could not intentionally touch a pig but was probably afraid to report it.
Both of the islamists need to be deported to their home country after their sentence has been served and if they were born in Australia then they need to be sent to their parents home country.
JMB says
(From Sydney, Australia) I have often seen (from a Bus window) that very large gun shop there in the heart of Bankstown which is quite arguably the centre of Sydney’s Islamic community. In fact I have often thought “this is not a good place to have a gun shop”. After reading this article I think my concerns are quite justified. So they told the shop staff that they were going pig hunting! Hunting feral pigs is quite popular here in rural parts of Australia but would this be permitted under Islamic law as there would almost be contamination from the pigs blood. But this is an interesting article from JW, just reminds us what is happening here in Sydney and it is good to see that a stiff sentence was imposed.
Eva says
We know what ‘pigs’ he would have been hunting, and it wouldn’t have been the type that go ‘oink’.
Eleanor says
JMB After reading this article, I am amazed as to why that store was legally able to sell that type of knife to two 16 year olds. The article didn’t say, but it sounds like it may have been the staff of that store who alerted police. If so, at least they did something right, but it could have had very tragic results.

I was thinking the same.
Check Burry says
They all look much older, than they are, we have many 35 year old child refugees in UK
Mano says
Most of Western Sydney is infested with Muslims
Glyn Davies says
Hi, have you ever looked up to see just how many armed security guards there are in Australia of the mohammedan faith/cult, since the bikers & affiliates were banned from security work, many thousands
JMB says
The standard remark when referring or observing these Muslim securuty personnel is; “Are not these the sort of people that we need protection from!”
Wellington says
Virtually any criticism of Islam is deemed Islamophobic. This is one reason (there definitely are others) why the term “Islamophobia” is a bogus term, one used to silence people. Fortunately, it hasn’t worked all that well, though it shouldn’t work at all, and with each passing year more and more non-Muslims are ignoring this bogus term, even sickened by it, as they are by another very overused and often inaccurate term, i.e., “racist.”
Words are important. They control so much of our thinking processes and actions. They need to be accurate. But so many times they are not. “Islamophobia” is a fine example of massive inaccuracy—and deception.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
I believe that the “islamophobia” term is nearing its shelf life…
Wellington says
Good way to put it, James. Hope you’re right.

Good exchange.
tim gallagher says
This particular would be Muslim terrorist seems to have absolutely no chance of ever being safe to release from jail. I think in TV news reports that i saw here in Australia late last week they did mention that, at the end of his sentence, they will consider whether he can be released from jail. I’d say, they may as well throw the key away. If he ever says that he has mellowed and now can be released, it would be obvious bullshit. The mistake is ever letting people like this into any western, non-Muslim, civilised country. I guess he was born in Australia, but if, like Orban’s Hungary, you say, no thanks, no Muslims allowed in this country, then you don’t have to put up with people like this guy, (and there are plenty of them) who now has to be fed by the taxpayers in jail for endless years.
gravenimage says
Tim, if he is released he should be deported.
tim gallagher says
Agreed, gravenimage. But they won’t do that. He was probably born in Australia as he was only 16 years old when he was arrested before he could manage to carry out his planned murderous attack. So Australia is definitely stuck with him. Very seldom do the government manage to send scumbags back to where they came from. I suppose this is because no country would want them and so no country will accept them. It is interesting, on this point of deporting criminals and such like, we do have a very good, very tough Minister, Peter Dutton, in charge of this issue, and he has thrown out quite a few New Zealand criminals because they never did become Australian citizens, and also a couple of weeks ago, they threw out a man from a very infamous criminal family out here, I think they are Muslims, but not religious types, the family name is Ibrahim, and, this guy was released from jail and they took him straight to a centre for illegals and sent him back to Lebanon. I can’t recall how they were able to do this, but it was great to see. The guy, and his brothers have been a bunch of big time crims out here for years and years. Maybe this guy had not bothered to become an Australian citizen. I think they threw him out on character grounds. But this hardly ever happens. Dutton is a great minister and tries to rid this country of many disgusting crims, but successes are quite rare. I think that attempts to deport these scumbags get tied up in appeals that go on forever.
JMB says
+1 Thank you Tim Gallagher.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comment, JMB. I’m a big fan of Peter Dutton. He does his best to throw some of the rubbish out. I got a kick out the way they threw that member of the Ibrahim family out recently. No delays, wham out of prison and out the door to Lebanon. Unfortunately, it rarely happens.
Michael Copeland says
Memo to Judge Bellew:
That “extremist, perverted and corrupt ideology which advocated violence in the name of religion” is Islam, plain old, boring and basic, true to Koran Islam, “strike-at-the-neck” Islam, “Kill-them-wherever-you-find-them Islam. It’s – all of it – just Islam.
Michael Copeland says
See some examples from England:

Eva says
I accept no excuses for ‘lack of knowledge’ on the part of these lawyers and judges. And, in fact, I don’t believe for a moment that they are as uneducated as they want us to believe. You can’t see case after case like these without picking up some knowledge.
You don’t need to be trained in sharia law to know how moslems behave in the countries they infest, that they see slaughtering, raping, beating, beheading, burning infidels as not just a duty, but a source of pleasure, or to know that it is evil.
What they are doing is islamo-pandering, whitewashing the evil moslems commit to in order to appease them, and a pathetic attempt to save their own worthless skins.
Glyn Davies says
Judges are supposed to remain impartial, that said I am sure there must be some judges that would see taking this filth out back to be done with the best end result

Australia: Muslim gets 12 years for ‘imminent’ knife jihad attack, screams that hearing is ‘Islamophobic’
…………………
Well, of course! Not wanting Muslims to stab people to death is “Islamophobic”…
Andrew says
This slime ball should be thrown into a hole, handed a bowl of rice a day for the rest of his life, plus his family pays for his rice and general upkeep in Prison, and if they refuse then they will be deported,unless they are born in Australia, their Bank Account taken by the State, all monies used for their plane fares back to wherever and the feeding of their child in Prison.
An example MUST be made otherwise this will be getting worse and worse as it seems to be doing these days.
