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

Australia: Shi’ite leader shot outside mosque after threats from Islamic State supporters

Nov 3, 2014 8:27 am By Robert Spencer

Rasoul Al-MusawiThe Islamic State once again demonstrates its global appeal, as its supporters bring the Sunni-Shi’ite jihad to Australia. “Religious leader shot outside Islamic centre in Greenacre following threats,” by Megan Levy, Sydney Morning Herald, November 3, 2014 (thanks to Greg):

A man who was shot outside an Islamic prayer centre in Sydney’s west was targeted as he locked up the building following a night observing the holy ritual of Ashura, one of the most important holidays for Shiite Muslims, according to a community member.

Witnesses claimed that a number of people had driven past the Husainiyah Nabi Akram centre on Rosedale Avenue in Greenacre just hours before the shooting, chanting in Arabic that “ISIS [terrorist group Islamic State] is coming” and “ISIS will stay”.

Islamic State is an extremist organisation made up of Sunni jihadists and is involved in a violent conflict against Shiites and other groups in Iraq and Syria.

Rasoul Al-Musawi, a 47-year-old Iraqi Shiite religious leader at the centre, was shot in the face and shoulder as he was locking up the centre about 1.15am on Monday.

Witnesses dragged him back into the centre and gave him first aid until paramedics arrived and took him to hospital. He underwent surgery to remove the pellets on Monday.

Mr Al-Musawi’s daughter, who witnessed the attack, said he “has done nothing wrong to anyone”.

Jamal Daoud, a prominent member of Sydney’s Shiite community, said a group of “extremists” had been targeting Shiite Muslims trying to enter the centre to observe Ashura, a 10-day ritual to commemorate the death of Imam Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad.

Mr Daoud claimed that a number of attacks had been carried out on the centre in recent days by extremists and “supporters of ISIS”.

He said that about 8pm on Friday a man who was volunteering as a security guard at the centre was punched in the face by three men. Police are believed to be investigating that incident.

Sheikh Zaid Alsalami, from the Afghan-dominated Nabi Akram Islamic Centre in Granville, said worshippers at the Greenacre centre were predominately Iraqi.

He said that, a few days ago, a group started an argument about Shia-Sunni topics and told the worshippers to stop their drumming within the centre.

He said the attacks were not related to internal disputes over the running of the centre.

“The dispute over the centre would not have escalated to such a level where someone would shoot a person in front of the centre,” he said.

Mr Daoud said that, earlier on Sunday night, the leader of the Islamic centre had phoned police to complain that people were driving past and making threats, including that “ISIS is coming”.

“These people have been conducting a campaign of intimidation for the past few weeks. I talk to many of the people in the community, and they’re very concerned and they’re very scared.”…

    Doesn’t Islam ever get tired of showing the world how peaceful it is?

      …true, there’s no peace with islam …islam brings nothing but hell on earth!

    When will Western Libtards learn that Islam teaches warfare against disbelievers?

    How many killings will it take for the Libtards to become curious and actually READ Islam’s foundational texts…instead of FANTASIZING about Islam and PONTIFICATING about it like Ben Affleck ??? How many more beheadings, executions and terrorist attacks before they get it?

    • Donovan says

      Nov 3, 2014 at 11:27 pm

      Comeon. I’m liberal but I disagreed with Affleck. Bill maher is and he was the person arguing. Not every liberal has an all loving relationship with rats of radical Islam. It’s wahhabism. That’s the curse. Thanks Saudis.

      • Wtf? says

        Nov 4, 2014 at 1:36 am

        I thought Wahhabinism was the saviour of Islam by regressing to the pure past before the Golden Age (sic) of Islam. If this was enacted in the 18th century Islam hasn’t been very successful even factoring in the discovery of Oil.
        When are they going to understand it is a failed death cult? Of the fluctuating 1.6 billion Muslims in the world there must be some semblance of intelligence?
        The great thing is they are not unified, they exist in all their sects each calling each other infidels or apostates. This is good and something that must be maintained.unfortunately this guy was shot and I am sure there will be some payback. As long as they keep popping each other off we have nothing to really worry about.

  3. mortimer says

    Nov 3, 2014 at 9:14 am

    Rasoul Al-Musawi was guilty of walking while Shi’ite.

    Revenge killings are normative Islam, rather than an aberration. No country is safe with Muslims in it. The greater the number of Muslims, the greater the risk of jihad. How many police officers do we want to hire?

        R Davis; you must be a delusional follower of that dead demon possessed false prophet and mass murderer thief liar misogynist and pedophile: muhammed- pbuh* to make such foolish comments. Mortimer knows of what he writes, and he speaks the truth- something you and your ilk have no grasp of!

        Just take a look at what happened to Ali and Hussein. This Shia Sunni thing will never stop. Contain it to the middle east it’s the only way.

        Mr. R Davis must wake up and smell the coffee. Unfortunately Mortimer is right and the equation is very simple actually the greater the number of Muslims the greater the chance for: Bombings in Malls, beheadings in the street, and nonsense violence like the one in Sydney. Face reality Mr. Davis, before reality faces you down and swallows you.

    The article – Rasoul Al-Musawi, a 47-year-old Iraqi Shiite religious leader at the centre, was shot in the face and shoulder as he was locking up the centre about 1.15am on Monday.

    That is such a shame….and obviously doubly painful in the shoulder after partaking in Assura earlier on in the evening.

    He may have “chained himself” over and over through the evening …ready to go home for a long soak in the bath and rest his bruised shoulders.

    The bath may have required to be cleaned of the odd stain of blood through the self flagellation but a small price to show that the shia of today are still there for Imam Hussain.

    The scum who shot him need to be arrested and barred.

    Al-Musawi obviously needs time to heal, please extend your help to the shia man to get him well again…no doubt the brave man will resume his duties again …hopefully with minimal facial changes.

    More Later …

      Dear Rezali ; just more proof that islam is anything but peaceful (just like muhammed -pbuh* was anything but righteous! he was a demon possessed false prophet and liar thief rapist misogynist and pedophile!)
      pbuh*- permanent banishment unto hell!

          I don’t think the thing is old Mirren, I think it is a hijabbed automaton that works in one of the few call centres left in the North of England or the NHS. It comes from a Pakistani/ bangladeshi “family” that are at odds with the Pakistani “community” it lives in because this thing is sh’ite and they are sunni.

    2009 –
    Violence against Indians in Australia
    Australia – mostly Melbourne
    152 attacks on Indian students were deemed to have (racial overtones).

    THEY WERE DEFINITELY RACIAL
    AND AUSTRALIAN’S WERE SQUARELY BLAMED

    The truth was that these attacks were Indian against Indian.
    In India there is ramped discrimination due to the CASTE SYSTEM.
    Just imagine an Indian classed as an untouchable drinking at the same Australian pub as a more superior Indian. The whole concept is unthinkable & indeed the untouchable would be punished for his/her insolence if not killed in India.
    This is the sort of thing that was going on –
    BUT GUESS WHAT RICHARD SPENCER – THEY BLAMED US DESCENT, LAW ABIDING CITIZENS OF AUSTRALIA INSTEAD.
    One INDIAN idiot set fire to his own car & was going to blame us & racism, only that he also set fire to himself & was found out.

    Who know what these morons were going on about.
    For all we know one man could have been sleeping with anthers mans wife & he decided to kill him.
    BUT HEY – ISIS is going to be the official story.

      We might soon expect Shi’ites to denounce Jews and deny the Holocaust yet again in order to scapegoat Jews to appeal to Sunnis as fellow Muslims.

      R Davis stop watching ABC & SBS and get your facts straight.
      A white guy robs a coloured guy it’s called a racial assault but if a coloured guy robs a white guy it is just a robbery.
      Colour makes us no different and our body parts are all the same.
      It is what we are taught that makes us different and causes us conflict.
      You are not an Aussie R Davis you are a parasite.
      So when the shit hits the fan because of people like you don’t come running to me for safety because I will be to busy slaying savages to even stop to piss on your burning body.
      A parasite trying to start a race based fight ! go eat shit and die R Davis

      R Davis: Your ‘religion’ isn’t welcome there though. If you’re a ‘decent’ person then why are you loyal to Islam still and blaming others for your Islam-related problems? There should be a stigma (deservedly) attached to being Muslim. Given that, killing people is perfectly acceptable in Islam. Muslims aren’t blamed nearly enough in the media for the things they do. How are you still the ‘victim,’ even when you’re being endlessly coddled?

      • Jay Boo says

        Nov 4, 2014 at 9:05 am

        I must agree, Jen
        Muslims need to show more shame especially when they pray.

        1 They should symbolically wash before prayers to acknowledge the blood of their many innocent victims.
        2 They should wipe their hands against their faces as if wiping away the shame of their evil deeds and as a reminder of the tears of their sex slaves.
        3 They should bow to request forgiveness.
        4 They should then lie prostrate on the floor to show that they accept that they have acted like their lowly false prophet who slithers beneath the feet of wild remorseless dogs.

      • Tradewinds says

        Nov 4, 2014 at 9:06 am

        “There should be a stigma (deservedly) attached to being Muslim. Given that killing people is perfectly acceptable in Islam. ”

        Uh, I think there is. Why they’re always so angry – they know they’re regarded as the savages of the world.

        Also, the killing people? It’s not only acceptable it’s also commanded by their moon deity Allah to kill the infidels. Which is why Islam should be outlawed as a menace to the entire world.

      • Wtf? says

        Nov 4, 2014 at 6:48 pm

        Hey Jen I agree with your sentiments but it’s good to have Muslim trolls here because with every post they learn more about their disgusting religion.
        Muslim = Terrorist
        It’s a stigma that’s here to stay!

    More proof that the “religion of peace” can’t even keep the peace within it’s own house.

    “A house divided cannot stand”. (Hopefully)

    A quote from Abraham Lincoln, 1858, referring, appropriately, to the dichotomy of free men and slave states. Based on Matthew 12:25: “A house divided against itself cannot stand”.
