"Kent wanted to participate in jihad but was frustrated by the watchfulness of Australian authorities." Good thing they weren't cowed by the prospect of claims of victimization by Muslim groups. From AAP, with thanks to Sr. Soph:
AUSTRALIAN terror suspect Shane Kent had to pledge his allegiance to a jihad, or holy war, before being allowed to meet Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan in 2001, a Melbourne court heard today.The 28-year-old father of three, one of 10 Victorian men arrested in a series of raids last month, has been charged with being a member of a terrorist organisation.
Kent, from the Melbourne suburb of Meadow Heights, along with co-accused Amer Haddara, 26, of Yarraville, is seeking bail in Melbourne Magistrates' Court.
Kent wanted to participate in jihad but was frustrated by the watchfulness of Australian authorities, police said today.
Crown Prosecutor Nick Robinson told the court Kent spoke of this to Melbourne Muslim preacher Abdul Nacer Benbrika, 46, who is charged with directing a terrorist organisation and supplying funds to a terrorist organisation.
Mr Robinson read a transcript of a conversation between the pair, in which Kent allegedly said, "Sheikh, it's too hard here ... we can't move, we can't do nothing".
Detective Senior Constable Ben Condon gave evidence that Kent made the pledge when he visited a training camp in Afghanistan before the September 11 terrorist attacks.
"He made a pledge to jihad in front of Osama bin Laden," Det Sen Cost Condon said.
"They were required to do that if they wanted to meet him (bin Laden)."
What a pity we cannot "remove" apostates with the same lack of penance that islam offers.
The ONLY way to fight these people is by TOTAL WAR using Hammurabi's code.

This is he same man who wrote an essay on Mhammad's abuses of the Qur'an
"The ONLY way to fight these people is by TOTAL WAR using Hammurabi's code."
No need to reach all the way back nearly 4000 years to Hammurabi; just go back about 60 years to Churchill, Roosevelt and Truman.

Too bad CAIR's travel caveat ain't likely to result in fewer Muslims seeking to attend this stinking conference in my city.
I am sorry to say this..
But i believe it is the truth...
ALL and I repeat ALL muslims
may soon have to be deported...
Or else
We wont survive the islamic onslaught...
I am sorry to say this and i never ever thought
I would be driven to do what was done during WWII
There is one difference though....
With the japanese during wwII we were able to de-program them and release them knowing they would live peaceful lives...
This is NOT the case with Islam....
You cannot appease, satisfy or in anyway placate
the Islamic Monster that knows only one thing
Kill ALL NON muslims...
The only option now i believe is
Fight or DIE!!!
KENT WANTED TO PARTICIPATE IN JIHAD BUT WAS FRUSTRATED BY WATCHFULNESS OF AUSTRALIAN AUTHORITIES...
Suppose if the idiot had blown himself up and others [including children] Aussie taxpayers would be paying welfare benefits to Jihadist's widow and Kent's three children. Bloody marvellous,eh! UNTIL THE WHOLE DAMN NEST OF VIPERS ARE DEPORTED AND DEPRIVED OF WESTERN DHIMMI WELFARE THIS SCENARIO WILL BE REPEATED.
If potential Jihadists knew their families would be deported straight away to some Islamic country,there would be less of these crazy converts.
Shane Kent - lucky this guy isn't of "Middle Eastern appearance". Otherwise his incarceration would be a "racist" act!
The only reason they are reporting this now is because he is NOT Middle Eastern.
How can people say Islam is Peace? Furthermore how can people continue to believe this lie? He is a man, "Shane Kent" obviously Anglo Australian, he would have been brought up in Aussie schools (where Multi-culturalism rules - all cultures are equal, but Islam is more equal than others, to question otherwise you are a racist. Looks like he discovered that other 'pillar' of Islam his teachers don't teach about at school - JIHAD), and then he must have "converted" to Islam.
Now he is a true Muslim. And my fellow Australians out there who think 'Islam is Peace' do you REALLY think that the Cronulla riots were 100% race based? Do you really think that the infidel taunting by men of "Middle Eastern Appearance" over the years (oh and the murders and rapes) was all just "Lebanese culture"?
What "culture" was Shane Kent brought up in? "Australian" culture (whatever that is? These days we are "multi-culture" - don't it make you feel all 'fluffy' inside?, now where are my cafe' friends I want to attack John Howard and George Bush and feel even better inside, oh and release all the "refugees" -aka illegal immigrants!!!!)
Shane is not participating in any "culture", other than the "culture" of Islam. Hello ASIO are you listening???? Or are your leaders thinking of joining the leftist Green Party in time for the next election so that you can be with your former leader???? Better yet, HELLO politicians are you listening????? I see on the news that these Jihadi buggers are going to start targeting you pollies. I'd hate to say it but GOOD!!! If you sleep with a viper you are bound to get bitten. Maybe if a few of you are attacked, along with your families you may just wake up to the threat of this "Religion of Peace". If you pollies are attacked all I can say is - "welcome to the real world!"
Shane Kent watched by the government for having ties to al Quada? Where's the New York times when you need them? No wait, this is Australia. They don't have the Patriot Act coming up for recertification. Damn it!!! Fact is, our government needs to take a lesson from the Aussies. Political correctness be damned. If you have a connection with a terrorist or terroists, you need to be survailled. Tht Australian government is doing what they have to do to maintain the peace. The left and the spineless Republicans need to note the reason why Jihad Shane couldn't act on his pledge to wage jihad. The police were on his half moons. Oh no, someone call the A.C.L.U. Nope sorry, only in America!!!
Moderationist has it right. Islam is picking up the psychopaths, sociopaths, and sadists. No doubt Kent tended in that perverse direction before he discovered the light of Islam, especially the virtue of jihad. But it was just made for him as if custom-tailored. That's one reason it's so big in jails.
