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

Australian convert to Islam: “We’ll make 9/11 look like child’s play”

Mar 10, 2015 11:16 am By Robert Spencer

JakeJake Bilardi is apparently a co-founder of an organization called Soccer for Hope, which sent soccer balls to Uganda. A young, enterprising, charity-minded fellow. But then he converted to Islam, and now his aspirations all involve death and destruction.

“Terror teen: ‘We’ll make 9/11 look like child’s play,’” News.com.au, March 10, 2015 (thanks to Kenneth):

AN ISLAMIC State recruit unmasked as a Melbourne teenager has made taunts on Twitter threatening terrorist attacks would make the 9/11 look like “child’s play”.

The boy, dubbed the “white jihadi” after featuring in IS propaganda videos, was previously believed to be British, but was yesterday identified as 18-year-old Jake Bilardi from Craigieburn in Melbourne.

The teenager, a gifted student turned high school dropout reportedly lured by the death cult searching for answers after losing his mother, has been making threats online under an Islamic pseudonym, The Australian reports.

Before his profile was suspended yesterday, he had tweeted about impending attacks.

“What we have in store for you dogs will make 9/11 look like child’s play,” he wrote yesterday.

In a previous post, the teen has reportedly warned: “Martin place was just the beginning for you dogs.”

The Australian also reports he has boasted online of meeting one of Islamic State’s highest ranked leaders, Shaker Waheeb al-Fahdawi.

Bilardi is believed to have converted to Islam last year, surprising friends and neighbours.

Neighbours have described the boy to the Herald Sunas “shy” and “a confused boy”.

The teenager was reportedly living with two older brothers and a sister after his mother died several years ago from cancer.

He is understood to have changed schools last year before dropping out and fleeing to fight in Iraq and Syria.

Bilardi was seen pictured last year in a picture posted to Twitter holding a gun and standing in front of an IS flag backdrop with two extremists.

    Islamic Jihad provides a perfect place for the bitter, the confused, the criminal and the nihilistic to express and nourish their violent tendencies. An ideology that proclaims itself to be superior to all others transfers some of that sense of superiority to those who by any objective standard are dim-witted, hyper aggressive and pathetically committed to evangelizing for a death cult.

      Agreed. Muhammadanism, with its inherent violence and contempt
      for the sanctity of life and innocence, appeals to losers and awakens
      the latent evil and bitterness within them, also giving them the chance
      to feel pious whilst gaining perverse gratification from sadism and
      cruelty. It may be true that this teenager is “shy” and “confused”, but
      that’s only half the story. I’m sure he knows the significance and impact
      of the words that come from his mouth. I would hope that he comes to
      his senses one day, but does he enjoy being in the grip of evil too much?

        Exactly. “To feel pious whilst gaining perverse gratification from sadism”.

        And to be in the company of other reinforcing believers, I suspect it’s like a group drug high, a shared mania. Quite likely drugs are involved as well.

        Maybe it should be renamed: “Loserism”.

    Jake,

    Only one person can help you. Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth, and the life. You are listening to the father of lies. Satan. Turn. Turn while you still have time. Turn before it is too late. Satan comes only to rob, steal, kill, and destroy. He has only one goal for your life……. to lead you into the pit of Hell. Forever.

    Jesus said: Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

    To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

    He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

    Revelation 3:20-22

    That young man is autistic. Give him a few few more days in the limelight then they’ll strap a bomb on him and blow him to buggery.

      A succinct summary of the jihadi personality and also, not coincidentally, of the typical criminal gang or Mafia member.

      Not all sociopaths are criminals – the diagnosis doesn’t require criminal activity, nor does it require all of those criteria. This kid doesn’t strike me as a sociopath – after reading more about him from other sources.
      He was described as awkward, and there is no evidence that he lacks a conscience in a traditional sense. He clearly is incredibly misguided and a fool though, and it would not be surprising if he was suffering from a mental disorder of some sort.
      Considering his abhorrent behaviour seems to have sprouted from the death of his mother, it’s even more likely that it’s something other than Antisocial Personality Disorder.

      Being a sociopath may predispose the weaker ones toward a life of crime; that doesn’t mean they’re going to convert to Islam.

    Converted to islam? ..hey why isn’t he full of love and handing out flowers?

      Hi Champ,

      After this boy gets his goat and camel training, he may like it. But after living in 120 degree desert heat with no bath, bathroom, or tissue, he may become disenchanted and get his shot at 72 virgins. But if he somehow survives all that, he can live out his fantasy of getting back at all the people he hates. With all that unabated hatred, he will grow old and feeble quickly.

      His threat is peanuts compared with our treat from B.O. over the next 2 years. At least, B.O. isn’t claiming him as a son.

    Jake Bilardi ,was uneducated, from a poor family and the Australian government did not give him a job.

    So he warns the Australian infidels : “Martin place was just the beginning for you dogs.”

    If only the Australian Prime Minister gave him a job,he would not have gone there.

    Looks like the poor gender-challenged adolescent is now enjoying his 72 raisins….the latest news reports suggest the IS thugs made a suicide bomber of him. Is it too much to expect that would-be recruits from the West would join up the dots and realize they are nothing but cannon-fodder to the Islamists? Probably!

      Why in Hell does a kid make this choice?
