Why don’t the Vast Majority of Peaceful Muslims rise up en masse and cast Junaid Thorne out of their mosques? Why is he welcomed in places that everyone assumes reject the version of Islam that incites violence?
“Brother of convicted terrorist preaching in local mosques,” by Alex White, Herald Sun, May 25, 2014:
THE controversial brother of a convicted terrorist is back preaching to scores of supporters in mosques in Melbourne and Brisbane.
Junaid Thorne is linked to a group known as Millatu Ibrahim, which was banned in Europe in 2012.
He delivered a lecture at the Dandenong South mosque on March 8, according to his Facebook page.
The 24-year-old has previously asked businessmen to give money for the jihad.
Mr Thorne has also visited the Al-Furqan Islamic centre in Springvale South, which was raided by counter-terrorism teams in 2012.
The self-proclaimed sheik from Perth is the brother of Shayden Thorne, 25, who was sentenced to 4½ years in a Saudi Arabian prison for having terrorism-related materials on a laptop.
On his tour of Melbourne in March, Mr Thorne is believed to have given three lectures in Narre Warren North, Dandenong and Keysborough.
One photo on the sheik’s Facebook page shows more than 50 supporters at a Melbourne mosque in January.
It is believed he returned on a second tour in March because of the increasing number of people attending….
“Increasing number”? But…but…it’s a Tiny Minority of Extremists!

If Robert is an islamophobe, these Muslims preaching jihad must be Islamic Islamophobes.

Q. Why is he welcomed in places that everyone assumes reject the version of Islam that incites violence?
A. Because in their little Islamic hearts they do NOT reject the version of Islam that incites violence because Islam does NOT reject violence. There is only one version of Islam and the name of that Islam is, Islam.
For my part I do see more and more waking to this uncomfortable realization. They (Muslims) say one thing for the consumption of Westerners, but they believe and act in accord with the opposite.
Charli Main says
Well said Diane—there is only one Koran and one kind of Islam.
There is NO happy, slappy, clappy Kumbyar Koran which is followed by “peaceful” “tolerant” “moderate” “kaffir loving” Muslims.
They ALL sing from the same song sheet, only some sing louder than others.
Muslims that have learned the truth about that sceptic tank of filth, called Islam, have walked away and are no longer Muslims.
Many of these good folk now support us on JW.

Yes Diane, There is only ISLAM!
The Muslim may say anything to
placate and deceive a non-believer.
The Quran says,”Use all Strategems of War”,
of course this includes deception.
Taqiyya is their mind set. Live a lie.
They need to die.

Because what the Infidels assume to be true isn’t; the Moslems only don their Unicorn party helmets when the cameras are on. Otherwise, they are just good old fashioned Moslems, held to the scriptures:
As to those who reject Islam, I will punish them with terrible agony…
Allah in the Holy Ko-Ran 3:56
Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other.
– Allah in the Holy Ko-Ran 4:74
And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion should be only for Allah.
– – Allah in the Holy Ko-Ran 8:39
O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness.
– – Allah in the Holy Ko-Ran 9:123

Australia: Jihad fundraiser and brother of convicted terrorist preaching in mosques
…………………………….
Law enforcement should *always* look at the families of convicted Jihad terrorists.
I come from a family rife with petty—and sometimes not so petty—criminals. From my own experience I know that family members are not perforce *always* criminals themselves, nor are they always apologists for criminal activities.
But statistically, they *often* are. And Islam tends to be *much* more a “family affair’ than garden-variety crime in the West.
The families—and friends, and associates, and Mosques—of convicted Jihadists should *always* be investigated. This is—or should be—just common sense.
And there’s more on this story: “mum” is pushing Australian authorities to intervene with the Saudis for her other son Shayden:
“The mother, who does not want to be identified, has called on the Federal Government to make a direct approach to the Saudi king to get her son released from prison.
“She says her sons are no danger to anyone, they simply spoke out against the Saudi government.
“The Federal Government says it did all it could to represent the interests of Shayden Thorne.”

What gall—especially in saying her sons are “no danger”. But then, I’m sure she believes this—how could good Jihadists be a danger to anyone—besides Infidel and the “insufficiently Islamic”, of course…

A bit of background on this creep.
You will notice that his surname is “Thorne”.
That is because his birth father was a *convert to Islam*, of mestizo Aboriginal Australian and Euro-Australian parentage.
His mother is a Muslim of immigrant (south-east Asian) ancestry. I have not been able to figure out whether his father converted to Islam in order to marry his mother, or whether the conversion had taken place independently of the marriage.
Mama and papa divorced (in Australia) and Muslim mama then married *another* Muslim, who took mama and the two boys off to Saudi-land when the boys were very young. Both boys spent their formative years being pickled in Islam in Saudi Arabia.
It is a great pity that the non-Muslim grandparents on the father’s side were not able to get hold of the children when young and deprogram them.
It is also a great pity that no-one seems to have been able to warn the Aboriginal community that both Shayden and Junaid Thorne (and their father before them), being devoutly-Muslim and pursuing a Muslim agenda, have turned their backs upon and indeed will have been taught to despise and reject – and to *attack* and *destroy*, as opportunity presents – all non-Islamic aspects of their heritage. And that therefore their father’s non-Muslim tribal kin should declare them Outlaw and Exile and should have *nothing* to do with them, henceforward.
FatherJon says
I suspected that this pair would be a problem as soon as they were released by the Saudis, probably glad to be rid of them. I hope our security authorities have them well under surveillance.
