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

Australia: Five Muslims on way to Islamic State stopped at airport

Aug 19, 2015 6:43 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic State33They can’t go wage jihad in the Islamic State. What will be done now to make sure they don’t wage jihad in Australia?

“Islamic State: Gang of five would-be terrorists stopped at Sydney Airport,” by Simon Benson, The Daily Telegraph, August 19, 2015 (thanks to Kenneth):

Immigration and Border Protection Minister Peter Dutton would not confirm the interception. He said he did not comment on the airport counterterrorism operations.

THE largest single group of suspected jihadists attempting to leave the country bound for Syria and Iraq have been intercepted at Sydney Airport.

A senior intelligence source has confirmed five young ­Sydney men had triggered an alert at Sydney Airport last week as they all tried to leave the country together bound for the Middle East.

It is believed they were “red-flagged” at the immigration checkpoint, with the new counterterrorism units called in to intercept them before boarding an initial flight to Malaysia.

It is understood all were carrying large amounts of cash. It is also understood other ­materials were discovered.

They were then prevented from flying. At least some of the men were known to ­government authorities.

The group, who when stopped on August 12, were ­believed to be trying to reach either Iraq or Syria with the suspicion that they intended to join terrorist groups.

It was also confirmed that two of the five men attempted to leave again the next day but were again intercepted.

All had their passports immediately suspended under new laws passed by the Abbott government allowing the Attorney-General’s Department and ASIO to recommend immediate suspension of passports….

    That’s great. So we keep them here in Sydney and spend millions of tax payer’s money monitoring them when it would be far better for all Australians if we stripped them of their citizenship and gave them a one way ticket to their Islamic hellhole. We don’t want them living here and we don’t want them coming back.

    As long as our “elected leaders” keep thinking of the islamic state as a “terrorist organization” instead of an entity at war with them, the merry-go-round will continue.

    Why Huck these poor guys were probably just bored and were going to look for work, since Islam is a religion of peace just ask a Muslim, So knowing that, then they should be released ASAP with an apology and a check to compensate them for all the psychological damage they were forced to undergo. How’s that for a Lefttard Impersonation? If we could follow these maniacs to the conclusion regardless of what the verdict will be, I’m certain of what I wrote will be said over and over by the morons that support this vile religion.

    Sigh! Yet another 5 “Aussie” (Lebanese perhaps???) jihadis stopped from further wreaking their vile islamo-fascist acts on Syria or Iraq. Which – as we all know – is apparently all the fault of us kuffars – especially the “great satan” (USA) doing the bidding of all those wicked conspiratorial Jews.
    It must have been the internet which suddenly “radicalised” these young men – nothing to do with islam – the religion of peace! Of course we must NEVER let the facts get in the way of this fantabulous fairytale – which is why this site (and others like it) is such a threat!
    Now just watch for the almost inevitable “islamofauxbic” cries from even more Aussie muslims whinging and whining that they are being “unfairly” singled out. (I’ll keep you posted on just that when the evening news is over.)
    Oh the injustice! Now those poor sadly “misguided” muslims and suddenly “radicalised” youths are going to be treated to some “too little” and way too late “de-radicalisation” program run by well-meaning uni-boffin types courtesy of the Aussie government – or the taxpayers.
    But how can we expect to cure this insanity without ever naming the problem that we are too PC to ever mention?

    30 years ago we didn’t have this problem to contend with. The winning strategy would be to let these people leave Australia on the grounds they can never return.
    Malcolm Fraser and later governments have introduced this problem of Lebanese Muslim immigration. Can’t we have a referendum on how many people we want to come to this country who are of the muslim belief system?

    Why do countries such as Switzerland get a referendum on immigration whilst Australians just have to blindly accept the wisdom of their leaders, most of whom would have never read the Koran or realised that over 80 million Indians have been killed at the hands of Islam over the last 500 years. We have no rights on how safe or unsafe this country will become in the years ahead. Like I said, 30 years ago we had NO problem. One doesn’t have to be Einstein to work out the reason why this country is now unsafe.

      agree with you we need a referendum. Hopeless case so what have you done about it at a grass root level? I have approached our politicians, written many letters, written to the new Australian Liberty Alliance with a view to join and spoken to anyone who has ears to listen. Also contemplating joining the ADF reserves – And you? What else do you suggest we should do?

      • dumbledoresarmy says

        Aug 20, 2015 at 7:18 pm

        Diana – you wrote – “I have approached our politicians, written many letters, written to the new Australian Liberty Alliance with a view to join and spoken to anyone who has ears to listen. Also contemplating joining the ADF reserves.”

        You’re doing everything you possibly could, at this stage.

        I have to ask – how old are you? Because something like the ADF reserve would be an impossible ask for the likes of me…pushing 52, and under strict physiotherapist’s and doctor’s orders not to lift anything heavier than about 5 kg. But if *you* are young and fit enough, then please, go for it! And before you do, read Mr Spencer’s book “Onward Muslim Soldiers’ and Patrick Sookhdeo’s “Faith, Power and Territory”, or just Sam Solomon’s book “Al Hijra – The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration”. Because in different ways they discuss the war doctrine and methods of Islam, and will provide you with information that, in time, you can share. Go into the Reserves, wait, bide your time, network, do the hard yards, build your credibility…then, slowly (see Citizen Warrior website for how to do it) see what you can do to quietly warn your fellow Reservists about Islam.

      “30 years ago we didn’t have this problem to contend with.”

      Yes.

      Because we had a much, much, much smaller Muslim presence. the fewer Muslims you have, the less likely you are to have them Going Jihad on you. Conversely – the more Muslims, the more Jihad. Simple probability and statistics. It’s a cast-iron correlation. And even if it’s “only a tiny minority of extremists” (which, judging from the results of Pew Research Survey polls of Muslims all over the world, it in fact ISN’T), the fact is, wherever there are Muslims, those so-called ‘extremists’ tend to pop up with monotonous rapidity and regularity, and the more Muslims there are, the *more* ‘incidents’…such as the London bus bombings – there will be. Whereas where there are NO Muslims there are no ‘Muslim extremists’. If anyone tries whataboutery, and starts yattering about the ‘far right’ and so on and so forth, then the simple response is, “So? If you think we have problems with our own lot already, why should we import *extra* from elsewhere? You think we need *more* religious extremists on top of whatever we’ve got already?”

      Here’s a simple slogan to spread about. Because it is manifestly true. “Got Muslims? Got Jihad”. Longer version runs like this – “The Ummah, or Mohammedan Mob, is the sheltering, nurturing sea within which the Jihadis swim and from which, ceaselessly, they emerge.”

      You might like to use another expression, too – “Muslim Roulette”. have *had* it with ‘playing Muslim Roulette”, which boils down to – “Will this one or that one Go Jihad on us?” Because lots of times you can’t tell until they *do*. the only thing you know for certain is that *some* of them – and it seems to be the more of them, the more Muslims there are in any given location – WILL.

        Just think: thirty years ago we didn’t have the Middle Eastern Crime Squad (or is it the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad.

        We had Jews; we had Armenian Christians; we had quite a significant Lebanese Maronite Christian community some of whom arrived here as early as the late 19th century; we had Assyrian Christians, too, some of whom got here in the early 20th century; I think we might even had have some Coptic Christian emigres; all these communities could be described as “Middle Eastern”…but it wasn’t until we let in a whole lot of *Muslims*, more than we had ever had in any one part of the country ever before, that we found ourselves forced to create the Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad. They’re run off their feet, and pretty nearly everyone they catch is…a Muslim. Funny, that.

    Leading drug companies have announced that live rabbits will no longer be used in scientific experiments. Muslims will now be used instead. A top scientist has stated that the advantage of using Muslims is they breed faster than rabbits, and you don’t get fond of them!

    Peace 😉

      Good idea but I don´t think they will be any good as test subjects because they are already infected with the islamo-rabies virus.

    They were carrying large a amounts of cash! That could only come from their Aussie-hating, psychopathic communities. The men themselves are the tip of the iceberg. Islam is worse than Fascism and Communism combined as its trolls are indoctrinated from birth, so they speak an untranslatable language. They don’t live in the real world but in a 7th century tribal fantasy land!

      Unlikely that they had the COEXIST bumper sticker on their vehicle.

    here’s an excerpt from tonight’s news “(copy & paste from the Daily Telegraph 7 hours ago) about this story:
    The five are now under investigation by federal agencies. The interception has alarmed authorities, who said, despite repeated warnings, young radicalised men are still attempting to the join Islamic State terrorist army in the Middle East.

    The intelligence source said four of the men, all aged in their 20s, had each been carrying $9900 in cash — just under the threshold that requires currency to be declared. The fifth was carrying $12,000.

    Damned shame they didn’t get to go – 5 less trouble-makers for us to fret about here. Sigh again

  9. Geppetto says

    Let them go. Abrogate their Australian citizensip, put their identity on every western nations terrorist watchlist, extradite if necessary and throw them in jail for life if caught attempting to reenter any nation where they’re listed. Containing them “in country” is a very bad idea. Send them back from whence they came or to where they want to go.

    Muslims should never be allowed to fly on airplanes.

    Australia needs to stick them on a small boat with no one else and let it float towards the Middle East.

  12. notaluvvie says

    They weren’t really trying to leave. Nobody could be that stupid and not want to draw attention to themselves. They were simply setting up a legend for the stupid mus-slime (oops unnecessary tautology again) community. They go to the airport and make the “effort” to leave knowing they are being watched. So now they can return to their illiterate community and say they would have gone to fight for the Big Moh had it not been for the racist Skippy (the mus-slime derogatory term for non arab Australians) pol-ees. If they were really going to go they would have gone individually to say Bali or Hong Kong or Tokyo, ie anywhere they could claim to be on business or holiday and then had another flight waiting for them there without any Australian govt knowledge of bookings. No, they wanted to be caught so they could pretend to be “war heroes”. Had they gone however the average IQ of the nation would have increased.
