Australia: Muslima spotted on TV brandishing toy gun at Muslim festival

Sep 24, 2015 9:09 pm By Robert Spencer

“Why, in the current environment of extremism, would parents allow children to carry a replica machine gun to a Muslim religious festival? What is being celebrated that needs a gun?”

Hmmm. Good questions. One might almost think that this was a religion that sanctified violence, if it weren’t for all the non-Muslim authorities so confidently telling us that isn’t so.

Muslima with gun at Muslim festival

“Lakemba mosque: Live ABC TV cross shows woman brandishing toy gun during Muslim festival,” by Doug Conway, The Daily Telegraph, September 25, 2015 (thanks to Kenneth):

THOUSANDS of television viewers were alarmed by the image of a toy gun being brandished among the crowd at a major Muslim religious festival in Sydney.

The gun was seen being carried by a woman and a child in the background of a live ABC TV breakfast cross yesterday from Lakemba mosque.

Its appearance left a jarring note on a family day of peace, prayer and celebration as thousands gathered for the Eid al-Adha festival marking the end of Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca.

“Why, in the current environment of extremism, would parents allow children to carry a replica machine gun to a Muslim religious festival?” one viewer asked in a social media post.

“What is being celebrated that needs a gun?”

One member of the Muslim community said toys, including toy guns, were sometimes sold by people at unofficial stalls that appeared at some festivities….

    Machine gun? Looks more like a Marlin to me. Disarmed cultures are pitiful.

      Australia ain’t all that “disarmed”. You, of course, are apparently a raving kook and would have all the muslimas armed to the teeth.

    Toy gun, toy bomb, toy Muslim–we’re so frigging confused, aren’t we.

    Today, in Mecca, Islams killed over 700 muslim pilgrims. Does this tell you something about this religion and what it promotes even on the holiest day of the year.

      The Mecca/Mina deaths may just give Iran the excuse to invade Saudi Arabia, since they refer to Saudi Arabians as ‘al-Saud, a;-Yahood’ … Isaiah 21: esp. vss. 9 & 13.

      Today, in Mecca, Islams killed over 700 muslim pilgrims.

      Yes, I was so very sad to hear that. Let us pray that the ensuing ruckus did not disrupt the activity at the stone throwing walls where enraged Moslem Men hurl rocks in furious anger at the Infidels. I love that part of the Hajj, it’s the best.

      The annual pilgrimage is like a super duper international State Fair, but with devout religion in place of fun.

        While their families will surely mourn the loss of close relatives, they will no doubt be simultaneously overjoyed at the prospect of pious bragging rights as they point out the imprint of each footprint during the funeral.

      “Today, in Mecca, Islams killed over 700 muslim pilgrims. Does this tell you something about this religion and what it promotes even on the holiest day of the year.”

      “Islams” didn’t kill anyone, since that’s not even a word. .

      It was a terrible tragedy to see so many people die in the pursuit of this false, wicked ideology.

    Religion of WAR? Religion of CONQUEST?

    Crimes that are sanctified in Islam: blackmail, extortion, armed robbery, forcible conversion, illiteracy, pedophilia, misogyny, hatred of ‘others’, plagiarism, apartheid, vigilantism, murder of apostates, rape, lying, dictatorship, bigotry, discrimination, barbaric punishments, idolatry of a stone, kamikaze murder-suicide, permanent warfare, personality cult of a human, intolerance, genocide, ethnic cleansing, invasion.

      Koran abounds with sayings which incite violence, insulting the religious beliefs of other communities and even exhorting the Muslims to kill and murder non-Muslims

      4. The book has verses which preached cruelty, incited violence and disturbed public tranquility.

    No, no, no, she’s doing it all wrong – she’s supposed to take the casing out of the gun and place whatever is inside it in a metal suitcase then take it to school.

      If she were not wearing a veil and this happened in the US, Obama would jump all over this and say that is what is wrong with America.

    Most probable reasons for this run of “false-alarms”:

    Looks like a gun, smells like a gun, but—at least for this time–is in fact only a toy gun.

    Looks like a bomb, smells like a bomb, but (at least for this time), upon inspection, proves, no bomb.

    Looks like a devotee to Islam, “smells” like one; but, not to worry, upon questioning, hates Islam.

    “Rejects” the way and traditions of the “Prophet,” but, loves burkas, adherence to prayer five times and more a day, so too, Islamic education, and Jihad! Jihad! Jihad! in the way of Allah, making the din of Muhammad supreme! (opps…)

    And regard for it teachings, doctrines and tenets, but, no real true Muslim, just a toy one.

    She looks to big to be a child. Looks more like a teen or a young adult. So why at that age would she be bringing a “toy” gun to a festival? Doesn’t make sense.

    • Jay Boo says

      Sep 25, 2015 at 12:35 pm

      Maybe it is a gift.
      I will admit that she does not seem to be overtly aggressive and she is kind of cute but I try to shy away from Muslimahs holding a gun due to my Islamophobia issues. I also believe in the old axiom to never date a Muslima carrying more than the nominal amount of one stick of dynamite at a time in their pockets because that would be just crazy or Muslima who have already been promised in marriage to their first cousin.

    Australia banned all guns owned by law abiding citizens some years ago so why allow a mooslum to flaunt the breaking of a rule that cost people every firearm they once legally owned but allow a POS to parade/flaunt the fact that they have guns available. People have to get their heads out of their back sides and see the world as it really is. MooSlums dominate – don’t allow it or the next gun at a celebration could be a real one from the poor jihadists returning to Australia from fighting fir THEIR HOMELAND.

      Muzzies worldwide are slowly, step by step, showing that laws and rules don’t apply to islam. Slowly we are being conditioned to islam being the authority. Tiny little steps that civilized democratic Christian people have to recognize and stop.

    A gun?? It Looks like an “Islamophobometer”, to me , the Islamophobometer is used to detect and eliminate unwanted islamaphobes.

    Any one seen the movie “Planet of the Muslims”? oops, I meant to say “Planet of the Apes”? In the movie the Apes treat Humans the way Muslims treat them here on Earth.

    Someone should make a new movie “Planet of the zombie ape Muslims” where the few remaining humans continue fight for freedom.

    ‘One member of the Muslim community said toys, including toy guns, were sometimes sold by people at unofficial stalls that appeared at some festivities….’

    I suppose that, in the fullness of time, REAL guns will be sold at Muslim festivities. It’s their human rights. After all, the only thing that trumps a devout Muslim’s AK-47 is a combat knife used for beheading.

    Sep 25, 2015 at 6:50 pm

    Do they expect to use sticks to train the children toy guns are much more realistic …

    The news girl should have jumped all over it making it worldwide news …
