Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

New Zealand mosque shut down after violent attacks and declaration of jihad against guards hired to protect premises

May 21, 2014 1:19 pm By Robert Spencer

NewZealandMosqueEveryone involved in this story seems to take for granted that “jihad” has something to do with violence against Infidels. Yet in the U.S. we are constantly told that that is something that only greasy Islamophobes think. No doubt Ahmed Rehab is jetting to Auckland as we speak, so as to explain to the Muslims at the Avondale Islamic Centre that jihad really means dropping off the kids at school.

“‘Jihad’ threat to mosque security,” by Lincoln Tan, New Zealand Herald, May 20, 2014:

A mosque in Auckland has been shut down indefinitely following violent attacks and the declaration of jihad, or holy war, against private security staff hired to guard the premises.

Bill Frost, who leads the Global Security Intelligence team at the Avondale Islamic Centre, was assaulted twice on Sunday and said he feared for his life and the safety of his family after one worshipper threatened him with jihad.

High fences, seven security guards and two police officers were yesterday seen on the site as worshippers were turned away from afternoon prayers.

The New Zealand Muslim Association, which owns the property, said it was shutting down the centre until further notice because of safety concerns.

The centre’s administrator was brutally beaten two weeks ago after issuing trespass orders to a Salafist imam and some of his supporters, and spent 10 days in hospital with fractures and eye injuries.

Mr Frost said he was assaulted twice as he was handing out six trespass orders to people causing trouble at the Blockhouse Bay Rd mosque on Sunday.

“A man spat at me and another struck me, and there was no reply from me,” he said.

One of the men then started shaking and chanting in Arabic, and Mr Frost heard some others saying the man was declaring a jihad.

“My understanding of jihad is that it is a religious assassination notice, I take this threat really seriously … and I’ll be acutely aware of the vulnerability of up to seven children in my home,” said Mr Frost.

“It appears that these [people] are radical fundamentalists … to actually put a jihad on a New Zealand citizen trying to enforce New Zealand law is ludicrous.”

Police Superintendent Wally Haumaha told the Herald last Friday when he visited the mosque that police were investigating one assault complaint and would “certainly be investigating” any others made.

Dr Zain Ali, head of Islamic research at the University of Auckland, said Mr Frost should be concerned with the threat.

“If the jihad had been made as a genuine declaration it can include a number of things including the declaration of war, and I think the security staff is right to be concerned,” said Dr Ali.

“Even if it was said in the heat of the moment, it really means that emotions have taken over and … people are appealing to tradition to justify what they are doing, and this can include physical violence.”

But Mr Mohammed Selim, whose friends were among those who had been served with trespass orders, denied they were extremists or violent and believed it was wrong to stop them worshipping at the centre.

“We signed a contract when we came to this country that it is a free country, free to practise our worship and nobody will stop you,” said Mr Selim, originally from Egypt. “Suddenly the problems start to happen and everybody get trespassed, what law did we break or what kind of violence did we make?”

Another worshipper, Farouq Ismael, said he was planning a protest because money from members’ donations to the mosque was being used by the association to pay for the security and fences.

Two Islamic factions have been embroiled in a battle for control at the mosque for over two years.

Round up ALL those that are believed to be part of the violence and deport them and their families back to where ever their families are originally from.

      Tom,
      you new Zealanders haven’t seen muslim violence yet, just wait till they reach 5% or so of your population an then all hell will break loose…even 4000 is too much, it takes only one pious devout muslim who follows the terrorist teachings of the Koran, hadith and sunna to blow up your airport or poison your water supply . Just think for yourself, what religion in the world can inspire its adherents to kidnap 300 innocent school girls and sell them into sexual slavery, or inspire its Chechen adherents to slaughter 300 Russian school kids in Beslan , or how about the sunni rebels in Syria capturing 800 women and girls and raping them as war booties ? Go to the original source and check out their own Islamic teachings…hell their own prophet captured and sexually forced himself on a jewish lady ( who became his concubine as she refused to marry him, can you blame her lol) after killing her father and husband that same morning ( mohammad beheaded 800 Arabian jews of the qurayeshi tribe ). In our immediate neighbourhood we now have islam fighting the peaceful Buddhists of Thailand and Burma and Sri Langka…..just look at the wonderful gory handi work of this most nice and peaceful religion ( according to our new Zealand politicians lol)

      WARNING ..GRAPHIC FOTOS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART
      YOUR GIFT FROM THE WONDERFUL RELIGION OF PEACE !

    So those rats have made it to that lovely clean little country have they ?

    When Muslims “practice” their “religion”, very young girls get raped and brutalised, trains and planes get blown up and people lose their country, freedom to speak about that and their rights too.

      yes, you got it right in a nutshell….just check out this amazing site http://www.thereligionofpeace.com and look at the list of ongoing violence for 1400 yrs since the inception of this diabolical cult. Many westerners do not know that islam has killed 300 million souls and still going strong. Additionally it is just disgusting that the hypocritical oligarch sultan of brunei is foisting the hudud shariah law on his subjects. Wherever you have shariah from islam ,infidels will sufffer…in acheh even non muslim women must cover their head with the hijab, in some sstates in malaysia the islamic authority even tells the buddhists and hindus and sikhs that they must built their relgious buidlings ,temples etc in the shape of islamic architecture because islam prevails ! recently there were burning of churches and sikh gurudwaras because the non muslims were using the word ‘allah’ for god in their malay language publications and muslims claim that allah is a proprietary ‘god’ for muslims only….how ridiculous can that be…imagine if you believe in an infinte being that gives rise to multiVerses and Quasars and this being is worried about covering up girls and giving men 4 wives and umpteen concubines and totally obsessed with sex and sex life of mohammad and is fragile that his followers have to kill a muslim if he leaves his religion or that he only belongs to a certain cult …..this is beyond rationality and common sense,…but this theocratic ideology is precisely that – a mental virus that weakens one’s brains and foments violence and murder. Time that muslims clean house and start interpreting their scripture to bring them from the stone age to the space age .

    There was a double murder earlier this week too. Pakistanis. Man stabbed wife and grown daughter to death.

    According to later reports: Uncertain if Muslim, but last name :Malik” means likely. Estranged husband who had a restraining order that the wife was trying to remove so she could get back together with him .

    Why shut down only one mosque – shut down all of them as they the serpent hole where all jihadi serpents come from!!

    Now that this mosque is shut for a while, all the serpents will be praying on the streets shutting them down five times a day.

    Strange – muzzies do not seem to enjoy life were ever they are living. They flee from the muslim countries only to try to change the new host country to be the same. Strange… They seem to search for the perfect Ummah?

      They’re not happy in Gaza.
      They’re not happy in Egypt.
      They’re not happy in Libya.
      They’re not happy in Morocco.
      They’re not happy in Iran.

      They’re not happy in Afghanistan.
      They’re not happy in Pakistan.
      They’re not happy in Syria.
      They’re not happy in Lebanon.

      So, where are they happy?

      They’re happy in Spain
      They’re happy in Australia.
      They’re happy in England.
      They’re happy in France.
      They’re happy in Italy.

      They’re happy in almost every country that is not Islamic!

      And whom do they blame?

      Not Islam….. Not themselves…
      They blame the countries they are HAPPY IN!
      And they want to change the countries they’re happy in, to be like the countries they came from, where they were un-happy.
      Try to find logic in that !!

    What on earth was the NZ government thinking to allow into NZ, in the first place, someone identifiable as a “Salafist imam”?

    If he – and the six extra-specially-zealous mohammedans who comprise his “followers” – were *not* identifiable as obviously dangerous when they applied to come to NZ, they are damn well identifiable as obviously dangerous *now*.

    The NZ authorities need to strip these people of their citizenship (if they’ve acquired it) or residency papers and give them the boot, right back to Egypt or wherever else it was that they came from. With their families.

    Out with them!

    And NZ jihadwatchers can suggest, very strongly, to their PM and to their Immigration and Foreign and Defence ministers, that in the interests of Homeland Security, peace and tranquillity, and not having to spend extra on policing and surveillance, it would be a damn good idea – since it *isn’t* always possible to discern which mohammedan applicant for entry to the country is going to suddenly Go Jihad, and it is in fact highly probable that *any* Mohammedan may Go Jihad, sooner or later – to STOP letting identifiable Mohammedans of *any* description into the country, period.

      I’m a New Zealander and wrote to the NZ parliament in regards the dangers of islam. I believe that the New Zealand governement are probably following mandates from organisiations like the UN in regards giving citizenship to muslims – it seems to me that New Zealand might be ‘expected’ to have a population of muslims. I’ve noticed that the muslims that live here are very arrogant in their demenaour – with an air of ‘superiority’ about them… sickening to see their hypocrisy – they should hand their heads in shame at the behaviour of ‘their bretheren’ but by their silence they give their approval to the violent horrors of islam.

      The truth is that the western governments are afraid of islam – they should not be afraid in any way at all….but as Chamberlin believed that he could find common ground with Hitler so the west believes it can find common ground with islam – yet all the while they ignore the horrors of what this awful thing called islam does and has done to nations and peoples since it’s inception.

    There is only about 4000 Muslims in New Zealand and already they are causing conflict and establishing a foothold through mosque building, sponsored Islamic courses at universities, Halal food production and edging into politics. The formula for takeover is well planned based on the UK model.

    Islam to date has been responsible for the murder of 300 million souls, in india alone the muslim conquerors murdered 90 million hindus, 5 million thomasian indian christians , ( st. thomas the doubter established the indian church in ancient times ), 30 million buddhists, 20 million sikhs , 10 million jains and countless millions of animists and zoroastrians, jews, etc etc. The great wall of china was built by the Tang and subsequent dynasty ( and refurbished ) to keep out the marauding central asian tribesmen who eventually got infected by the mental virus of islamist ideology. Genghis Khan and his sons were the only people that almost wiped out islam when they marched on baghdad- the center of islamdom in yesteryear, unfortunately he allowed his men to comingle and marry muslim women and w/in l generation the whole of central asia via the mongols were infected up to this day. An ancient hindu and buddhist prophecy says that MahaMadha ( a malevolent incarnation of the spirit world ..mohammad is a derivative of mahamadha) will create chaos in this dimension by inventing a malevolent theocratic ideology …that this belief system is spawned from hell fire and that it will itself be eventually consumed and obliterated by hell fire thro its evil karmic debts of violence, lust and murder.

    Islamism is spreading like a cancer in south east asia and south asia. Recently Brunei introduced the barbaric hudud shariah laws of amputation of limbs, stoning of women, beheading of apostates, flogging for drinking etc etc. Amazingly the Sultan’s constitution places him above the law , so if he commits any adultery he cannot be stoned…how’s that for the epitome of hypocrisy. Further the sultan claims that shariah is necessary as a firewall to protect his country against the corrupt infuence of the west and non muslims ! Imagine that he got his wealth from investing in the west and infidel’s country, goes to the west to study and party ..he and his siblings and offspirngs …and then slaps us in the face . Everytime we infidels pump gas we put $$$ in the coffers of the islamists who are hell bent on islamizing the whole world and turning us into barbaric ,primitive , mindless women -hating zombies ! Read on…..and be shocked at the depth of sickening hypocrisy and violence of the islamist mind set.

    The first NZ Minister of Ethnic Affairs Dr Michael Bassett was asked which group was most difficult to deal with during his tenure?
    Without hesitation he answered ‘Muslims. They have such a sense of entitlement’.
    That was 40 years ago.
    Coming up to date, I wonder if the NZ Herald will use their new-found contacts with the mosque to ask if it supports the Boko Haram abductions and if it doesn’t, expect a statement of condemnation?
    Not likely. Especially as the reporter is Lincoln Tan.
