How ignorant and self-deluded is Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott about the jihad threat? This ignorant and self-deluded. Upon learning of the death of Sharky Jama, asked Muslims in Australia to stop “going overseas to join these terrorist groups. Don’t. They are death cults. That’s what they are. They’re not about religion. They’re just about death. And it’s just as likely to be your death as anyone else’s death. If you go overseas for this kind of purpose, you are a danger to others, you are a danger to yourself. Don’t do it.”
Does he really think this kind of appeal is going to dissuade someone who is thinking of joining the Islamic State? If so, he doesn’t realize that Islamic supremacists frequently affirm how much they love death. Austrian Muslim teenage girls who recently traveled to Syria for jihad announced: “Death is our goal.” Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said: “I’m even longing for death, you vagabond.” A Muslim child preacher taunted those he has been taught to hate most: “Oh Zionists, we love death for the sake of Allah, just as much as you love life for the sake of Satan.” Jihad mass murderer Mohamed Merah said that he “loved death more than they loved life.”
Ayman al-Zawahiri’s wife advised Muslim women: “I advise you to raise your children in the cult of jihad and martyrdom and to instil in them a love for religion and death.” And as one jihadist put it, “We love death. You love your life!” And another: “The Americans love Pepsi-Cola, we love death.” That was from Afghan jihadist Maulana Inyadullah.
This idea comes from the Qur’an: Say, “O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are allies of Allah, excluding the people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful.” (62:6)
And so when he tells young Muslims in Australia that the Islamic State is a death cult, for some of them, that’s a selling point.
“Male model from Australia dies fighting for Islamic State,” by Jonathan Pearlman, Telegraph, April 16, 2015 (thanks to Kenneth):
Tony Abbott, Australia’s prime minister, has urged Australians not to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) “death cult” after a 25-year-old male model from Melbourne became the latest foreign recruit to die while fighting with militants in Syria.
Sharky Jama, a former model and keen football player from Melbourne’s Somali community, had been based in Iraq but was shot dead in Syria.
His family said they received a text message and phone call from someone on Monday informing them that he had been killed.
Hussein Haraco, a Melbourne Somali community leader, said he had known Jama’s family for ten years and he was known as a good person who assisted other community members.
“They haven’t got any idea what is the reason,” Mr Haraco told ABC News.
Nonsense. They know perfectly well what is the reason. They just don’t want non-Muslims to know it. And they’re doing fine on that front.
“He was just a young man playing soccer and being at other activities and suddenly something happened and he went to Syria. [It’s] really shocking for the whole community and we are really confused.”
About 90 Australians have gone to the Middle East to fight for Isil, including about 20 who have been killed.
The nation was shocked by the apparent death last month of Jake Bilardi, a Melbourne teenager who is believed to have died in a suicide bombing.
The death of Jama prompted Mr Abbott to issue a plea to Australians to stop “going overseas to join these terrorist groups”.
“Don’t. They are death cults. That’s what they are,” Mr Abbott said.
“They’re not about religion. They’re just about death. And it’s just as likely to be your death as anyone else’s death. If you go overseas for this kind of purpose, you are a danger to others, you are a danger to yourself. Don’t do it.”…

If hey love death so much, we will feel no compunction about obliterating them. Tony Abbott is normally very robust of opinion when it comes to the ROP.
Jay Airahs says
Muhammad has been recycling the same 72 virgins for 1400 years which means these MO HO’s are far from virginity and are shriveled up like crusty mold covered raisons.
Sharky Jama is in for a surprise.
deja vu says
Jay, surely you know these virgins are self-healing and eternally nubile? And each noble ‘martyr’ has his own supply. No need to share Mo’s.
Jay Airahs says
Paradise Virgins
A brutish unkempt shepherd approached with his smelly flock of sheep and one mangy shepherd dog.
He smelled even worse than his sheep and he growled,
“What are you doing here, you don’t belong here?”
But, I am a suicide bomber and I have come to paradise to collect my reward.
You have come to the right place then.
I have been anxiously expecting you and looking forward to this day, he said as he drooled.
I am here to give you what you deserve.
Where are my 72 virgins as promised by the prophet? I demand my 72 virgins.
This sheep pen is not the Paradise I was expecting.
Paradise, you didn’t really believe you could enter paradise by murdering innocent children?
No true religion would ever condone such utter stupidity.
You have been seduced by a demon’s satanic verse. Satan’s reward is yours.
Today you will have 70 virgin sheep and 1 virgin dog.
Let’s not talk about tomorrow or forever-after just yet,
said the virgin shepherd with a glassy-eyed stare and a menacing smile.
deja vu says
The disappointment over the provision of 72 white raisins instead of virgins doesn’t compare with the horror of your vividly described scenario!
I fear the reality will be even worse.

“Australia PM says Islamic State “not about religion”.
THIS, as well as “ISIS and ISIL are not Islamic”, is EXACTLY the SAME line of B.S. that America’s apparent “Pro Islam” Barack Hussein Obama Jr., and his Administration, is attempting to “Brainwash” Americans With.
Linda Rivera says
You can’t leave out UK Muslim-lover PM Cameron who states repeatedly at every Muslim terror attack: This has nothing to do with Islam. Islam is a peaceful religion…
Our nations’ leaders have sold us out to barbaric Islam.
duh_swami says
From above…Muhammad has been recycling the same 72 virgins
That’s true, they require a lot of repair from rough sex…I saw Allah at the hardware store buying virgin parts. A said hello to he but he only glared at me with his one big eye and stomped off..
Sugarboots says
The loss of Sharky what’s-his-face; boo freakin’ hoo.
Oliver says
The article had an item that (although not in Australia, never have been) made me sad. 90 Austalian Muslims went to the middle east and 20 were killed.
TERRIBLE.
All 90 should have been killed.
Oliver says
I agree (partly with Justin– the question should be: WHY THE HELL IS THE WEST, AND THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE WESTERN NATIONS, so willing to kiss the Muslims assholes?
RE: Buraq– yes, the west is showing its weakness- BY kissing the Muslims ass. Look at Obama’s deal with Iran- .
The US negotiated from weakness-although stronger then Iran.
Look at the Useless Nations- Hamas fires missiles at Israel, Israel retaliates- Israel is wrong.
Hamas uses women and children as human shields-not a word, from the Useless Nations nor the western governments. BUT, some Hamas teen aged terrorist is killed, and the crying over the “POOR CHILD” WHOM THE ISRAELIS KILLED.
That is weakness AND stupidity. I think that that is what Justin was referring to.
cs says
Agreed, they are a bunch of hypocrites and some silly folks are biting their bait.

“How ignorant and self-deluded is Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott about the jihad threat?”
Good question. Like all Western leaders, Tony Abbott is well-aware of the death-cult of Islam. He alluded to his knowledge on TV here back in August 2009 – see http://www.abc.net.au/tv/qanda/txt/s2662208.htm
from 7min 30sec point (or see transcript below clip, pasted in here):
TONY JONES [host]: Very briefly, you talk about the great religious texts. Have you ever read the Qur’an?
TONY ABBOTT: I have tried to and, Kamila [Pakistani panelist in blue], I’m afraid I got about 70 pages in and I couldn’t go any further because, at the risk of sounding a little monocultural, IT STRUCK ME AS THE OLD TESTAMENT ON STEROIDS and I don’t…
KAMILA SHAMSIE: There are some execrable translations out there.
TONY ABBOTT: I don’t find the Old Testament that appealing too, once you get much past the first couple of books.
9/11 happened 13.5 years ago. Anyone with an interest in public life took notice of a death-cult which could view mass-murder as holy. The Grand Mufti of Australia publicly *praised* that mass-murder of 3,000 random innocent people in 2004 – see http://www.abc.net.au/religion/stories/s1058934.htm
We can’t pretend world leaders are functionally illiterate, or that they don’t employ research assistants, and that they remain essentially ignorant of the ideology driving more than 100 Islamic terrorist groups world-wide. They are not ignorant. And they must be held to account for *knowingly* importing people at war with us.
Lee says
Just to add a couple of things – Abbott’s tone of voice in the video is of someone trying to humorously and politely understate what he really thinks. Abbott clearly thinks much worse of Islam than it’s like “the Old Testament on steroids”.
Second, Australian troops fought the Taliban for more than 12 years (as well as in Iraq), and have had several Islamic terrorist groups target our civilians for murder in that time. Again, for our politicians to claim they never researched the ideological underpinnings of our enemies – in the internet age at that – would be absurd.
As Albert Speer admitted after his imprisonment for Nazi crimes “If I didn’t see it, then it was because I didn’t want to see it.” Any politician who aided and abetted Muslim uber-Nazis in their Jihad against our people will be tried for treason.

Lioness says
“We love death” said the wife.
Good. We should give it to them more often.
If muslims love death so much why do they complain when US or Israeli troops kill a few of them? They should say ‘thank you’ instead.
Linda Rivera says
And it’s just as likely to be your death as anyone else’s death. If you go overseas for this kind of purpose, you are a danger to others, you are a danger to yourself. Don’t do it.”
Tony Abbot has such LOVING concern for Muslim terrorist savages. He doesn’t want one hair on their heads harmed. If they don’t go overseas they will certainly carry out horrifying terror attacks in Australia.
Western leaders love and care deeply for the hostile Muslim invaders they have colonised our nations with. Our people are despised and hated. We’re regarded as worthless. Our traitor leaders continue to massively import Muslims into our nations – they obviously crave our cruel Muslim conquest.
Linda Rivera says
A Muslim child preacher taunted those he has been taught to hate most: “Oh Zionists, we love death for the sake of Allah, just as much as you love life for the sake of Satan.”
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that the God of all life gave us life so that we could LIVE for God – our Glorious, Awesome, Wonderful Creator.
And to also know that our Precious Creator blessed the whole world greatly through Jews – a tiny number of Jews on earth with huge numbers of inventions and breakthroughs in medicine, science, computer technology, agriculture, etc. And lots of Nobel prizes.
What contributions have Muslims made? Hundreds of millions of non-Muslim innocents barbarically put to death by Muslims. Millions of non-Muslims seized for slaves and sex slaves. Muslim murder and barbarism continues to this day. Whose god are Muslims following?
The Holy One commanded: YOU SHALL NOT MURDER.
Robert says
I read that ISIS is not part of Islam and there were some strong articles written on them on a sit http://www.jihad.info It is good to see Muslims have realized this too.
Sheila Novitz says
I have reached a point of despair at the seeming ignorance or wilful denial of truth that characterises our “leaders.” They terrify me almost as much as Barack Obama and Islam do.
WHAT can we POSSIBLY do to combat Islam? While Prime Ministers, Presidents and most politicians throughout the West live and act in denial, we are powerless.
Israel is the only country unafraid to name the truth, and for this it is pilloried, ostracized and lied about.
Saudi Arabia is presently bombing Yemen into extinction, killing Muslim civilians every day – does anyone condemn Saudi Arabia? Imagine the outrage if Israel were to reply today to Hamas rocket fire and kill one single civilian in error. There would be demonstrations against Jews throughout the world.
It’s excellent that this website at least supplies a place where one can air despair, but I have lost all hope.
