The claim to have reconstituted the caliphate clearly resonates with many Muslims worldwide; it is the principal reason why we see so many Muslims from Western countries going to Syria and Iraq to join the Islamic State. Thus there is nothing implausible about this claim of responsibility. The Islamic State called on Muslims to attack police, and some heeded the call.
“Islamic State death cult claims responsibility for Numan Haider’s knife attack on police,” by Rita Panahi and Wes Hosking, Herald Sun, November 22, 2014 (thanks to Kenneth):
THE Islamic State death cult has claimed responsibility for a Melbourne teenager’s frenzied knife attack on two counter-terrorism officers.
The group’s propaganda magazine, Dabiq, has directly linked the Endeavour Hills attack with global terrorism.
An article, purportedly written by captured British photojournalist John Cantlie, declares that the stabbing was linked to an order given by Shaykh Abu Mohammad al-Adnani just days before the incident.
“In Australia, Numan Haider stabbed two counter-terrorism police officers,” the article states.
“These attacks were the direct result of the Shaykh’s call to action, and they highlight what a deadly tinderbox is fizzing just beneath the surface of every Western country, waiting to explode into violent action at any moment given the right conditions.”
Haider, 18, stabbed a Victoria Police officer and an Australian Federal Police officer multiple times in a Hungry Jacks carpark near the Endeavour Hills police station on September 23.
The counter-terrorism officers had invited the teenager to speak with them after he was seen waving an IS flag outside Dandenong Plaza the week before.
The Victorian officer shot and killed Haider when he failed to drop his weapon.
Both officers were hospitalised with stab wounds.
Haider’s attack was the first in a series of apparently “lone wolf” incidents across the globe.
In Canada, a man linked to Islamic extremist ran down two police officers in a car last month, killing one, before he was shot dead by local police.
A week later, Canadian soldier Corporal Nathan Cirillo was shot “in cold blood” by a terrorist who then entered the country’s Parliament House.
The suspect, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau — a homeless man who had recently converted to Islam — was shot dead.
IS also claimed responsibility for a man in New York who attacked four police with a hatchet last month….
john spielman says
at least the young spawn of allah/ Satan was shot dead and is now in the fires of sheol awaiting the Day of Judgment of the Lord. His corpse should be cremated and his ashes flushed into the sanitary sewer
murad says
With all respect to sanitary sewer: His dirty corpse ( which is fed on loots and jizya will defile the sewer.
Which traitors let these jihadis in the west?
albert says
When are western intelligence agencies going to become proactive instead of reactive. Would anyone care if there was a force who simply killed them as they became known.
Alissa says
The head of the CIA is a muslim convert.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Whether the apparently wild rumor that John Brennan is a Moslem revert doesn’t matter. He’s stupid enough to convert to Islam, and that’s all that matters. He’s overseeing pro-Moslem policies based on that stupidity, which in fairness is no more fact-averse and stupid than that of actual Moslem converts like Rep Keith Ellision D-Minnesota and Rep Andre Carson D-Indiana.
Oddly, the latter, Carson, attended the same high school I did in Indianapols: Tech. It’s an inner city campus with several buildings and about 4,000 students. When I graduated, it was not conceivable to me that the place could ever be more dangerous than what I experienced. I always figured they’d eventually have to shut the joint down to help prevent violent racist crime and lighten the workload of the IPD. But, with Moslems now, it’s still in business and somehow even more dangerous.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
It’s not that the Moslems are coming, they’re already here. Western nations have bringing them in by the planeload for decades now.
It’s that the Moslems are all hopped up on the recent successes of Islamic activists, which is more important than the welfare and ass-kissing they get in Sydney or Stockholm or Minneapolis. Hey, Moslems have priorities too.
pumbar says
Too true APF.
I think we’re closer to “dial a riot” than we think in many Western Cities. Thanks to mobile phones these moslem thugs can gather a flash mob of a hundred or so in a matter of minutes.

Agree, APF & pumbar. I was sickened just a couple of years ago to hear someone on Fox ( Shlep Smith?) remark, “Muslims in Minneapolis? Who knew?” As if these populations are only settling on the Coasts…
Every day my husband goes out to install internet, and has brought home some very creepy stories of what he’s seen in some Muslim homes. I worry for him because he obviously is not allowed to carry any sort of self-defense, besides his hands. And it’s worsened over the past year, particularly. Gangs of ‘youths’ attacking people on the MT trains for their phones, etc.

You wrote -” Every day my husband goes out to install internet, and has brought home some very creepy stories of what he’s seen in some Muslim homes.”
Creepy? What kinds of things, exactly? Beheading videos lying around? Weaponry? Explosives, or stuff that looks like precursors to explosives (kitchen chemistry sets?). Stuff like that? Or is it things they say to him, or that he hears them say to each other?
Seriously: if he’s seeing stuff that worries him, he should keep a record. Who the people are – name, where they come from (citizen, resident, visitor/ student) – and what precisely it was that made the hair on the back of his neck stand up. Since they’re customers, of course he’s got the addresses. And he should be letting the local / metropolitan cops know that he’s getting a real bad vibe off certain customers. With details. And *also* mentioning it – “if you see something, say something” – to the FBI and CIA.
How Islamoinformed is he? You’re here at jihadwatch: does *he* read here as well, over your shoulder?
About the only advice you can give him, if he can’t carry a weapon, is to never, never, never turn his back and not to get too close to the Mobsters. Has he got any martial arts/ self-defence training? If not, depending on his age and level of fitness, he could consider taking regular classes in something of that sort. Just in case.

You have legions of brainwashed people all over the globe. You have an ideology that is a religion based on conquest. You have western nations infiltrated at every level. You have large population centers of these people within every western society. You have some population centers like in France and other European nations that are already their own city states more or less. You have them reading us like an open book and engaging in tactics we have no defense or counter against. You have a whole string of military successes throughout the world, Africa the Mideast ect. All you need is the right leader or leaders and god help us all. This is worse than WW2 and least the Nazi’s worse uniforms and fought under a civilized western nation. Yes Germans even at the height of WW2 were still civilized people. I know stating that will piss people off due to now towing the group think like that they were all savage beasts, but in reality this wasn’t true. Concentration camps aside, the people themselves weren’t evil beasts. And most soldiers follow orders, very few people will have the stones to be a martyr for a noble cause. Islam is a bigger threat to the world than the Nazi’s at the height of their power.

“We can deny reality, but we can’t deny the consequences of denying reality.”
I know thinking about this dark subject will cause most suburbanites in the west to go into a fetal position and repeat the mantra islam is peaceful islam is peaceful islam is peaceful, and just like in the movie Beetle Juice you want it to go poof and appear, but this isn’t going to happen kiddies no matter how much you wish otherwise. I know the mere thought that there really might be a whole ideology wrapped up in a religion is too terrible of a thought, but hiding your head in the sand and repeating soothing phrases won’t change the facts on the ground. It amazes me how far people will go to deny reality. Welcome dhimmi’s to the desert of the real.
Darren says
Paging Ben Affleck, you sir are a moron, please never open your mouth about subjects you know nothing about. Mr. Spencer can you open dialog with Bill Mahr and maybe email him some talking points. He might view you as an extremist (since honestly discussing islam is considered extreme these days) but even he might respect your knowledge on the subject matter. I want him to wage a successful campaign against the liberal dhimmi to further the cause of educating people not well versed on the subject. If he proves successful he might open quite a few infidel minds to the truth.

Having poor eyesight I find this new format extremely hard to read (I am seeing most of the text – such as what I am now trying to type – as grey-on-grey) and…how does one navigate from one story to the next?
There’s no “next” or “previous” button. It’s SLOOOOOOW to have to keep jumping “back” to the homepage and scrolling down.
