As more and more young Muslims from Australia are joining the Islamic State, and crude pro-Islamic State graffiti appeared on one school, Australian authorities are hoping that teachers will tip them off about “radicalized students” — with no curiosity about where this “radicalization” is coming from. It must be from the Internet, doncha know.
“Federal police probe into Western Sydney school where ISIS graffiti was sprayed: AFP issues nationwide terror warning to teachers,” by Taylor Auerbach and Ben McClellan, The Daily Telegraph, November 1, 2014:
FEDERAL police have asked staff at East Hills Boys High School to monitor their students amid fears terrorism recruiters are targeting youngsters.
The AFP is also calling on teachers across the country to tip off national security officials over any radicalised students they encounter.
Their concerns come amid revelations a group of teachers at East Hills Boys approached the principal with fears for their safety after extremist graffiti — including the slogan “ISIS R coming” — was sprayed across a school building.
The Saturday Telegraph understands four teachers expressed concerns in the wake of the pro-IS slogans being painted at the school — where Sydney teenager Fayez studied before leaving the country to join jihadists in the Middle East.
Abdullah Elmira, 17, told his family he was going fishing and flew overseas to join the conflict in Syria and Iraq.
He has since returned to Australia after his desperate father intercepted him in Turkey. The AFP are confident he no longer holds extremist views.
Oh, good. How did they determine that?
AFP officers have visited the school, and others in Western Sydney, and asked senior staff to monitor students for extremist tendencies or terrorist leanings.
“The AFP is concerned recruiters are targeting younger persons. The AFP and its partners are spending significant time in schools and the community to counter extremist narratives,” a spokesman said.
“The best defence against radicalisation is through well-informed and well equipped families, communities and institutions.
This assumes that these young people are being “radicalized” by elements outside their homes and religious communities. That is an unproven assumption. Also, it begs the question yet again: why is the Islamic instruction these people receive at home and at the local mosque, if it is really so different from the version of Islam that the Islamic State recruiters push, not able to withstand the challenge from those recruiters?

” Young Muslims are being radicalised”.
Yes, they are just being taught normative Islam 101, in their local Mosques and Madrassas.

Exactly. Two-thirds of Muslims worldwide want a caliphate enforcing Sharia law. That is what ISIS is providing. Why would most Muslims reject ISIS? No strong reason exists for them to disagree with ISIS.
We should expect many more bombings, stabbings, shootings and car attacks in Western countries.
Politicians are afraid of saying that normative Islam promotes violence against disbelievers and yet it does.
jsteves2000 says
Why would anyone in their right mind want to join ISIS and be under a caliphate and sharia law………..wait a minute…. I just answered my own question….right mind???

ABDULLAH ELMIRA … WAS 17 YEARS OF AGE
In Australia you cannot get a passport without parental consent until you are 18 years of age or married.
Abdulla Elmira flew out of Australia they say …
Which means he went to the airport & boarded an international airliner.
Well I’m sorry but he did not.
Not in Australia – our people are not that slack.
R Davis says
Then Abdulla Elmira who was 17 years of age … would have landed at the airport in Syria & then Iraq.
And the airport security did not intercept him & take him into custody at either airport.
Oh please, oh please, oh please.
Whats more Abdulla Elmira would have received a very stern reception indeed, a nice kick up the backside from the authority, for his trouble & found himself in a Syrian & Iraqi prison.
The the headlines would have read … Young teen taken, who illegally stowed away on International Airliner Abdulla Elmira was intercepted & detained in Syrian prison / detained in Iraqi prison.

I don’t see where being informed of the truth of Islam, and what Allah expects you to do about it, is ‘radicalizing’ anyone.
How can obeying the orders from on high be, radical?
Every kuffar posting here has read the same material, have you been ‘radicalized’? Do you have your bus ticket to Syria?
Did you suddenly feel the urge to behead people or offer your body up to horny jihadists? No? You mean you don’t take orders from Allah? OK, I guess your not a radical…

In any event there is no problem as to whom the enemy is
Know thine enemy, ISLAM and the Qur’an
Knowledge Needed for Americans
The Qur’an denotes conflicting passages where the latest
passage is always the correct one over the oldest passage, as
in peaceful tolerant passages where 1st, thus are void by
later more violent passages. Thus there is no non violent
passages implemented or very little, and none can Hi-Jack
Islam as it is written for a direct interpretation. Muslins
know they can not alter or misinterpret but instead can
deceive or lie.
ISLAM is an Utility Ideology more than its a religion. If you
took Christian faith, combined it with federal law and state
law and corrections law and actions of a jury, made it
Political and mandatory over anything else, would a Pastor
then consider that as a religion…. NO ! So Sharia Law is
what is implemented and is mandatory except for Muslims whom
then would be refereed to as non Muslims because they do not
practice it. It is a Society Behavior, period, just like
a constitution defines its rules. It contains, punishments,
morals, beliefs, contracts and is actually a Trojan Horse for
a being State like. Democracies of man whom defy and use free
speech to criticize the Qur’an must be eliminated by all Muslims.
Sharia is implemented in non Muslim countries by a methodology
called creeping sharia because it is a slow methodology
advanced slowly until a point of no return. There
courts can operate outside the bounds of whatever the current
government laws where located. Sharia eventually is incorporated
into that government over time. All drinkers and gamblers
must be whipped. Husbands can hit their wives. Legal revenge
is literal as an eye for an eye, a hand for a hand and
thieves loose hands. Homo-Sexuals are to be executed.
Fornicators are whipped & Adulterers are stoned. Critics
of Muhammad, Qur’an and Sharia are ordered to death. No free
speech on Qur’an criticisms. Apostates or those whom disbelieve
are killed commands aggressive and unjust jihad. Sharia is law
of Allah and anything else is a sin. ALL Muslins are mandated
to keep striving until all governments are converted to sharia
law.
Muslims are mandated to deceive in any way, non-muslins when it
helps ISLAM, using Taqiyya. You lie to non-Muslims to spread
ISLAM is mandated. That is why you hear Muslims say things that
are odd to Westerners and sometime identify that are lies, else
say nothing which looks dis-functional. This is the same for
ISLAM in war. Non-Islamic war is in effect until Sharia Law
is the Whole World, just like ISIS says. Non Muslims are always
enemies.
Islam is religion of peace, is spouted from early passages in
Qur’an which are null & void, while Muslims use Taqiyya against
non Muslims and peace only comes when Islam and Sharia rein in
every country.
So when you hear people say
religion
religion of peace
Correct the Muslim lying or slap the infidel for Not Knowing death
Population must force government, but seems like Muslims doing
what you Aussies should be doing !

“Embrace Islam” – I would venture to say that there are at least a couple-hundred million people in the world that believe that should take place with the sharp edge of a sword.
Should Sharia Apply to All Citizens? – 46.5% say yes based on ten Muslim majority countries in the Middle East, South Asia and North Africa. Based on the Muslim population of those countries, that results in 243 million people (at a minimum) believing that Sharia law should apply to all citizens.

How were these darn young people “Radicalized” since we all know that Islam is the Religion of Peace. We know that mosques are not simply Trojan Horses filled with Manchurian Candidates. Furthermore, we know that only a miniscule 10% of muslims are estimated to be so called “Radicals” that prescribe to violent jihad (10% if 1.2 billion). So 90% may be moderates.
Specifically, how is a mosque a threat to the community within which it is built?
Every single mosque in the world, by definition, is modeled on the mosque of Muhammad in Medina in accordance with the Sunnah. The Sunnah interprets the Qur’an by reporting exhaustively on everything that Muhammad said, did, or consented to. Therefore, his Medina mosque, the first mosque, was a place where he gave judgments, where he decided who would be executed, where he instituted policy—domestic and military— where Jihad war strategies were designed. Consequently, it was a storage place for arms, a military training base, and was where troops were blessed and dispatched. Literally they were sent to conquer – first the whole of Arabia, and then the rest of the known world. Therefore if the present-day mosque is modeled as per the Sunnah of Muhammad then there should be very serious concern. As is well-known, Muslims are required to follow the example (Sunnah) of Muhammad—and according to Sura 33:36 it is not an option or a matter of opinion: “It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error.” This explains and establishes beyond doubt why arms have been found in mosques in various countries, and in different capital cities.
In addition to the undisputed significance of the Medina mosque as the role model for all Mosques, there is also the Islamic policy of establishing strategic Mosques as beachheads with interconnected networks. Taken together, these two policies do constitute a clear and present danger—and a need for concern.
