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

Australia: Muslims discussed killing Jews and Muhammad cartoonists

Apr 17, 2015 9:26 pm By Robert Spencer

Junaid ThorneThis isn’t really any surprise. Anyone who has been paying attention knows that Islamic jihadists want to kill Jews and Muhammad cartoonists. The only problem is that all too many Western authorities aren’t paying attention.

“Hoax fools wannabe jihadis,” by Grant Taylor, The West Australian, April 18, 2015:

An internet impostor has fooled dozens of followers of radical hate preacher Junaid Thorne into revealing their thirst for violence against Australian-based targets including newspaper cartoonists, Jewish groups and other innocent civilians.

Security agencies are now reviewing material gathered by the anonymous impostor who set up a fake Twitter account pretending to be Thorne this month.

Within days more than 160 people had followed the account and many discussed openly with the impostor the idea of bombing Jewish organisations based in Sydney, as well as threats to carry out Charlie Hebdo-style attacks on cartoonists Larry Pickering and Bill Leak.

Both men drew cartoons featuring the prophet Mohammed after the attack on the French satirical newspaper in January which left 12 people dead including cartoonists, journalists and police officers.

In one exchange with a Thorne follower, the impostor asked whether the individual was planning to kill Leak and Pickering.

The follower, who goes by the Twitter name IslamicStateAU, replied that they knew where the two men lived and said their addresses had been passed on to “some brothers” who would carry out the attack.

“It will be a repeat of Charlie Hebdo,” the follower said.

In other discussions, followers declared their support for Sydney’s deadly Lindt Chocolate Cafe siege by Islamic State supporter Man Haron Monis in December.

“The Lindt cafe operation was just the beginning. We will conquer Australia,” a follower calling himself Hassan Ali IS told the fake Thorne.

Another follower, calling himself Akhi AlAustralia, said he was saving up his money to leave Australia and join Islamic State.

When the real Thorne became aware of the fake account early this week, he posted a warning on his Facebook page telling followers not to communicate with the person behind the account.

But new followers were still being attracted to the fake site yesterday.

The impostor – who claims he is in America – declined to reveal his identity to _The Weekend West _, saying he was concerned for his safety.

All material provided by the man to the newspaper was forwarded on his behalf to relevant authorities as soon as it was received. What evidentiary value it provides remains to be seen because many of the threats may be just cyber chest puffing.

But the fake account has exposed the deep hatred many of Thorne’s followers harbour towards non-Muslim Australians….

Yep.

    Young, dumb, brainwashed and useless…not on the
    Path of Allah or real islam at all…get smart or get gone!

      He is not totally stupid.
      Despite Islam’s evil he knows there is much to laugh at with Islam.

      Such as:
      The Head bump carpet kissing men who wear man-dresses and hold hands with other men as they kiss each other on the check while claiming to be against homosexuality. I could go on and on.

      He is well aware that Islam is very vulnerable to mockery as a religion.
      If even just one person is allowed to laugh at Islam (Ha, Ha — Ho, Ho, Ho) it soon opens the door for another and another.

      the path of allah involves killing non muslims and subjugating the world to horrors of islam

      He is a real Moslem, don’t insult him. By the way what is the path of Allah?

      “Young, dumb, brainwashed and useless…not on the Path of Allah or real islam at all….” That’s odd. I was getting the clear impression that being at least “dumb, brainwashed and useless” were the MINIMUM qualifications for being a muslim. Being “young” is a bit of a let-off because you’d have an excuse for not knowing any better. You’d definitely get more brownie-points for additionally being arrogant, bigoted, dishonest, psychotic, criminal or/and violent. I can’t really see how any normal person could possibly suspend their basic critical faculties and senses of honour, decency and civility long enough to ’embrace’ the appalling tenets of the (sic) ‘religion of Peace’. (PS to Sabri S. Why ever did you post your little gem of fanciful garbage on this site when you should know full well that no-one’s going to believe you or accept what you try to say?).

      Exactly what is the ‘real’ Islam? I tried to find it in the phone book, but there were none listed…

      • Truth Seeker says

        Apr 19, 2015 at 1:16 pm

        Islam in 2 Groups. Open Jihadis and Abettor Jihadis. Open Jihadis, is interested in sacrificing human beings to please Allah. In this Process, if he/she happens to die, he/she will be immediately, given entry into Janaah (Islam’s Paradise). Not only that, his/her Ancestors also will get entry Pas to Janaah! This motivates one to be, Even Suicidal Jihadist.
        Abettor Jihadis condemn this act of homicides and suicides, uttering, these people (Open Jihadis) do not understand Islam and quote few words from Quran’s parts for Abettors.
        But is it not the Fact that, Resources for Open Jihadis are provided by Abettor Jihadis? Because Telling Lies for Religion is the duty of every member.

      So what exactly is “the real islam” for you? See, that’s the problem. According to most muslims, most muslims don’t follow the real islam.That’s what sunnis say about shiites, what shiites say about sunnis, what islamists say about liberal muslims, etc etc.

      @Sabri S You missed the boat….There is no such thing as allah or real islam….Get smart or get gone!!!!

    A message from Allah.

    Hey those cartoons were funny as hell.
    I hate that little shit Muhammad too.
    Do you have any idea what it is like being trapped inside his fetid smelling skull with his twister brain as he roasts in hell?
    Man is it hot in here.

    Hey Muhammad can you hear me?
    Go ahead Muhammad and have a temper tantrum and threaten to throw yourself off of a cliff.
    You create me Muhammad and now you will have to listen as I mock you forever in hell.
    You sick disgusting perv promising 72 pubescent virgs?
    Muhammad your whole life is a sordid cartoon.

    “Fight them until they say no god but Allah” and then Islam will become real. Ha Ha What a joke.
    Stupid buffoon. Go ahead and jump off that cliff and split your suicidal fool head open Muhammad.
    Let your evil Allah genie escape this humiliation of being trapped inside your vile head.
    Time to show mercy on Allah and put the evil genie of Allah back in his corked bottle.

    The real Junaid Thorne, a Noongar Aboriginal from Austrailia, was deported by Saudi Arabia for being too radical for their taste after his brother was convicted of terrorism. He had lived there since age 9 and was booted out at 23.

    When SA thinks you’re radical….that should draw the jihad flies.

    The latest Muslim news from Australia is more serious than this. Five young Muslims (18 & 19 year olds) have been arrested, planning on bombing our Anzac Day celebrations next weekend, including targeting Police. Of course all & sundry have come out to say this has nothing to do with Islam. Yeah yeah, tell someone who believes you. If it has nothing to do with Islam, why is it I knew we were talking about Muslims as soon as I heard about this plot on the radio?

      Yeah, I saw on TV the Aussie Police spokesman saying “Now before I say anything I want you to know these people are individuals and are not connected to any religious group”……Oh Ok, so now we know they must be muslims, because the authorities won’t say.

      • Lia Wissing says

        Apr 18, 2015 at 7:56 am

        It’s actually the authorities’ code for letting all of us know which group is planning terrorism.

      • M S case says

        Apr 18, 2015 at 6:31 pm

        Of course they are not connected to any religious group they are connected to a murdering CULT! How could any religion promote what they do so it has to be a CULT not a religion.

        And the Prime Munster then added that its all under control (Again) and to go about Your Business as Usual ?? Yeah Right !! 🙁 We will just pretend that we are being Invaded by Good Fairies !!

    The whole thing sounds like one of Dajjal’s practical jokes. Mahound was hyper paranoid about Dajjal, because Dajjal was always messing with his head…According to Aisha, Mahound prayed to Allah to relieve him of the afflictions of Dajjal. Now Dajjal has appeared on the internet messing with a lot of pious heads. I kind of like Dajjal, anyone who could scare the heck out of Mahound, can’t be all bad…

    In Islamic Countries Non-Muslims are Treated as very Low Grade humans and they are deprived of even Human Rights. Unfortunately, in spite of knowing this, in Christian Countries, too, for Muslims, to some extent, the Boasted Supremacistism is admitted. Unless the Government takes befitting stand realising Danger by admitting Supremacistism of Terrorists, situation will get worsened further.
