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

In wake of counter-terror raids, Islamic Council of Western Australia plans hotline so Muslims can report “Islamophobia”

Sep 22, 2014 10:58 am By Robert Spencer

william-street-mosque-in-perth-australiaThe pattern never changes: in the wake of a jihad terror attack or plot, Muslims in the West do not do what they should do: redouble their efforts against jihadis in their own communities, and their cooperation with law enforcement officials. Instead, they claim that they are being victimized by a “backlash” and try to seize the spotlight as victims. The mainstream media, of course, is all too willing to oblige.

The mosque in Sydney, and mosques in general, should not be vandalized, and whoever did it, Muslim or non-Muslim, should be prosecuted appropriately. Mosques should not be vandalized; they should, if there is reasonable suspicion of jihad terror plotting going on inside, be investigated. And Muslim communities in the West should not be whining about being victims, but should be demonstrating — in actions as well as words — their condemnation of jihad terror and willingness to act to prevent it.

This doesn’t happen, of course, because there are far more jihad sympathizers in mosques in the West than Western officials are willing to acknowledge or admit. Four separate studies since 1998 have shown that 80% of the mosques in the U.S. teach hatred of Jews and Christians and the superiority of Sharia over Constitutional law, but no one seems concerned. To be concerned would be “Islamophobic.”

“WA Muslims fear they could be targeted,” by Brendan Foster, WAtoday, September 22, 2014:

The Islamic Council of WA is planning to set up a hotline for its members in Western Australia, concerned Muslims will be targeted after vandals damaged a mosque in Sydney on Friday.

Last week more than 800 police raided homes in Sydney and Brisbane in the largest counter-terrorism operation ever in Australia.

One of the arrests involved 22-year-old Omarjan Azari, who is accused of plotting to kidnap a member of the public and have them beheaded.

After the raid, more than 200 members of the Muslim community in Sydney held a rally in the western suburbs, angry they were being unfairly targeted.

Islamic Council of WA spokesperson Abdullah Eshtewi said there was a lot of fear in Perth’s Muslim community after the raids on the east coast.

“There are some real concerns, especially after what happened in Sydney with the vandalism on the Mosque,” he told Fairfax Media.

“There are fears for the security of Muslim Australians and we have had reports of an individual been racially harassed, but we don’t know if it’s just rumour at the moment.

“We are setting up a hotline and we want members of the community to call the hotline or police if they get harassed or see any mosques getting vandalised.

“We are disappointed in the way the raids were handled and how it was leaked to the media.”

Mr Eshtewi said the council hadn’t heard from Premier Colin Barnett, who announced on Sunday he was planning to meet with Muslim leaders in WA.

The Premier said he wanted to meet with leaders to quell any unrest in the community and reaffirm to the Muslim community they are welcome in WA.

“We haven’t been offered an invitation,” Mr Eshtewi said.

“But we would definitely welcome a meeting with Mr Barnett.”

    easy solution- deport ALL but the most secular of muslims and educate the rest of the public on the truth and present danger about that vile fascist religion known as islam with its allah/Satan worship concocted by the demon possessed pedophile mass murderer thief liar misogynist AND FALSE PROPHET; muhammed -pbuh(perpetual banishment unto hell)

      Yes deport them all but remember there are no moderate peaceful Muslims. It is only a facade and education does change a Muslim – examples of those medical doctors attacking Glasgow airport, leader of 9/11 gang was an educated Muslim with masters degree in engineering, etc should make this point.

        You’re wrong. There are ‘moderate’ Muslims, but they are somewhat confused about what Islam is…and they make up their own delusional, more tolerant version of ‘peaceful Islam’. Wahhabism is ‘real Islam’. Foundational Islam (Salafism) is real Islam.

        There is no mechanism to create ‘moderate Islam’, but the ‘moderate Muslims’ simply ignore it. They do exist, but their beliefs have no basis.

          I keep thinking about a chaplain for the Veteran’s Administration told me. He grew up in Syria the son of Christian Missionaries in the late 1920’s and into the 1930’s coming home only at the outbreak of WWII. He told me the Muslims he grew up with where the most despicable people on earth. Lying cheating, stealing, murder, kidnapping you name it, and this all would be from man, it was always man, who smiled and ingratiating himself to you, “I am your friend”. Muslim women where just the same way cheats, and thieves He did not trust any of them at all. But he told me the Coptic Christian community was wonderful. He loved celebrating Christmas and Easter with them.

          mortimer is the type of Counter-Jihadist who evidently has a mind-reading machine capable of determining which Muslims think moderate thoughts and which don’t. Don’t we all feel more secure now…?

        Many cultures, many languages…one mankind. Muslims do not want this. They will grow up amongst us, but long for an entire world of Muslims. To do this, they must replace everything else. The *moderates * at home help extremists by saying they! the moderates are victims. Politicians then soothe them by adopting a kids glove approach, which translates into ineffective policies in dealing with Muslim terrorists overseas. Make it Law….wherever you live, you must have first allegiance to that country’s safety and citizens. Practice whatever religion you want, providing it is peaceful and does not advocate harm to anyone else. Why can’t this be Law? The world is changing and needs to address the needs of us all, and not just Muslims crying they are victims…
        Yet, as another person wrote, most of the terrorism is done by Muslims..and they use their religious book as justification..

        Some Muslims claim that their co-religionists in the West will adopt a ‘moderate’ form of Islam due to the influences of liberal democracy, so far the signs are not encouraging. I’m not prepared to sacrifice 2500 years of Western civilisation to some multi-culti fantasy.

    I don’t understand why they claim to be unfairly persecuted. Given the evidence, Muslims commit over 90% of terror attacks across the globe. Logically, we should devote more than 90% of our time and effort making sure they don’t decide to become martyrs.

    If you ask me, we don’t persecute them enough. There is a direct correlation between Muslims and Terrorism. They should do more to end that correlation instead of protesting that we take steps in light of that correlation.

    • mortimer says

      Sep 22, 2014 at 12:37 pm

      “I don’t understand why they claim to be unfairly persecuted.”

      Well, it’s called ‘melodrama’. Mohammed exaggerated the ‘persecution’ he suffered. The Meccans debated Mohammed vigorously, lampooned and mocked him. He called this ‘persecution’, whereas it was only disagreement.

      It is a capital crime to openly disagree with Mohammed.

    Once someone points out to you that Muslim play the victim and blame the victim you see at all the time.

    In Muslim lands the newspapers say “we could not control our anger” when Muslims riot at perceived slights. And in the west Muslims are the victims after a jihad attack because of racism and hate mongering.

    Such is the bizarro world of Islam.

    • Jaladhi says

      Sep 22, 2014 at 11:25 am

      Yeah, this is bizarre circular logic Muslims follow and most infidels in leadership position are always fooled by it.

      we are reminded Muslims that Islam is a peaceful religion and they point to all those surahs of Mecca and say they were the victims of Meccan wrath. But now after seeing Muslim lies in defending their religion, I suspect very much that they were really victims of Meccans. Muslims started those lies and victimhood propaganda from the very beginning and it continues even today!!

    “—should be demonstrating-in actions as well as words-their condemnation of jihad terror and willingness to act to prevent it”
    if Muslims did that, they would no longer be Muslims following the fundamental tenets of their Islamic faith.
    They would become apostates subject to the death penalty and any REAL Muslim killing them would get a one way ticket to Allah´s whore house in the sky.

    Six Muslims in the UK who were finally arrested for their practicing their Islamic rape gang ideology will be calling in long distance to complain about UK officials not being multi-cultural enough and about their young victims having Islamophobia against their pig prophet Muhammad.

    Islam is raw filth

  8. Don McKellar says

    If they want to counter any imagined “Islamophobia”, then the hotline should be to report jihad plots and terrorist activity! And make a big public display of it.

    No, wait, that would make them a target for jihad terror attacks…

    But then again, the goal of their “islamophobia” hotline is to try and block efforts to stop jihad terrorism and raise a fake public stink about it…

    What a joke.

    Islam attracts psychopaths who want a theology that commands, supports and excuses rape, theft and murder. This is why it is the most popular conversion among prisoners.

    The porn thing is because they want power over women (and children) but are incapable of relationships that involve mutual respect. Its all about the sword!

    They are scraggly-bearded maniacs programmed for death and destruction.

    What a lovely way to live your hopefully short life!

    Maybe we should carpet bomb them with LSD and see if any of them can snap out of their stupid death trip.
