Australia: Muslim teen investigated for preaching jihad on school playground

Jul 23, 2015 5:29 pm By Robert Spencer

Epping_Boys_High_School“It’s understood the young student had attempted to flee the country on two separate occasions to travel to Syria in the Middle East but was stopped at the airport.” So he contented himself with preaching jihad on his school playground. Where are the people who listened to him? What are they doing?

“Counter-terrorism police investigate teenage playground preacher as fears grow of Islamic radicalism in school system,” by Cindy Tran, Daily Mail Australia, July 23, 2015:

A teenage boy suspected of leading Islamic extremist activities in the school playground is reportedly being under investigation by the counter-terrorism police.

The 17-year-old student from Epping Boys High School in north-west of the Sydney, has been a radical preacher there, but the sermons have since stopped, The Australian reports.

It’s understood the young student had attempted to flee the country on two separate occasions to travel to Syria in the Middle East but was stopped at the airport.

NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Murdoch has confirmed that an investigation is underway following the allegations.

‘We are conducting an investigation into an allegation that a young man is attempting to influence students in his school to adopt his extremist views,’ Mr Murdoch told the publication.

A NSW police spokeswoman could not confirm details into the investigation to Daily Mail Australia.

The revelation comes just months after two teenage brothers were detained at Sydney Airport by counter-terrorism authorities in March….

    Will they conduct an investigation to learn where this kid was “radicalized”?

      Muslim youth are radicalizing one another. Let the teachers, social workers and police take note.

    how is ISIS jihad any different from jihad in the Quran

      Al Azhar University interprets the Koran and the hadiths and Sharia law for all 1 billion Sunnite Muslims.

      They have found no substantive difference between their interpretation of jihad and that of ISIS. The two interpretations are similar, if not identical.

    Can you imagine if a Christian boy was preaching his religion in school grounds. Muslim parents would march into principal’s office right away and demand it stop. Mind you the Christian child would be preaching peace and love but it would still be provocation and an insult to the Muslim parents.
    So how did this Muslim vermin get radicalized? I know, as usual, online. Nothing to do with home environment or the mosque.

      JIHADIST RADICAL CHIC is as prevalent among Muslim youth as Megadeath t-shirts and Gothic-ware among white suburban youth.

      Have you not seen it? Have you looked to see it? If you search for JIHAD RADICAL CHIC among Muslim youth, you will find it.

      Muslim youth are radicalizing one another.

        Yes, with a little help from their families and local mosques. How can they expect any intelligent person to buy their lies how it’s the internet where they become radicalized?
        Maybe there are more idiots in the west than intelligent people.

    Australia: Muslim teen investigated for preaching jihad on school playground

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    As a Christian I hear the word “preaching” and I immediately think of someone telling others the good news about Jesus, not the bad news about …jihad.

    ”It’s understood the young student had attempted to flee the country on two separate occasions to travel to Syria in the Middle East but was stopped at the airport.”

    So, he was stopped from doing what he wanted to do – go and murder in Syria; so instead, he starts spewing his filth in an Australian school *playground*. Yep, stopping him from going was a really sensible move.

    ”A teenage boy suspected of leading Islamic extremist activities in the school playground is reportedly being under investigation by the counter-terrorism police.”

    And what, exactly, will that ‘investigation’ involve ? His family, his mosque, the imam of that mosque ? And what about all those who *listened* to his playground rantings ? Will *they* be investigated, also ? Somehow, I doubt it.

    And if/when this evil little scrote buys a pressure cooker, and sets off a bomb. murdering innocents, or goes jihad with a knife or a gun, and murders innocents, what will the counter-terrorism police say then ?

    Why the hell didn’t they just let this pos go, and rescind his passport ?

    I wonder how many muslims are in the Australian counter-terrorism police ? If my own sorry country is anything to go by, probably quite a few. The Fifth column, the traitors within. If this piglet succeeds in doing anything, they also will have blood on their hands, as will the government.
