Pat Gooley from the NSW Police Association said: “We are used to being under threat. What’s really concerning police is there’s no rhyme or reason to these current terror threats.”
No rhyme or reason? Have you ever heard of jihad, Mr. Gooley? Evidently not. Other police officials, meanwhile, are busy making sure that Farhad Jabar Khalil Mohammad’s jihad murder doesn’t lead anyone to think there is anything amiss with the Muslim community. The murder “was doubly shocking because it was perpetrated by a 15-year-old boy and it underlines the importance of families, communities, leaders being very aware of whether young people are becoming radicalised,” said Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, complacently assuming that Muslim “families, communities, leaders” in Australia are against this “radicalization” — but where is the evidence of that?
Turnbull also said: “We must not vilify or blame the entire Muslim community with the actions of what is, in truth, a very, very small percentage of violent extremist individuals. The Muslim community are our absolutely necessary partners in combating this type of violent extremism.” When has the Muslim community in Australia or elsewhere in the West genuinely acted like partners in combating this type of violent extremism? And we must indeed not vilify or blame the entire Muslim community, but can we not call upon them to institute honest, transparent and inspectable programs in mosques and Islamic schools that teach against this understanding of Islam that they ostensibly reject and oppose?
Meanwhile, opposition leader Bill Shorten said: “Our thoughts are also with the family of the alleged young perpetrator. Like all Australians, they will be struggling to comprehend how someone so young could be part of such a terrible crime.” How does he know his family wasn’t involved? Has he carried out an investigation? He assumes that the family taught young Farhad Jabar Khalil Mohammad the true, peaceful Islam, but that he was then “radicalized on the Internet” — but why was his family’s true, peaceful Islam not able to withstand the challenge from the twisted, hijacked Internet Islam?
NSW Premier Mike Baird said that he and others were trying to understand “how someone so young could commit such a hideous crime.” He might wish to look into Islam’s teachings about jihad, but he won’t. He also said: “We cannot let actions such as this divide us. We cannot let hate overtake us. We have to come together and I’m sure that’s what we’ll see from this city and state.”
Indeed, we must not let hate overtake us, as it overtook Curtis Cheng. But can we do that by refusing to examine the ideology that led to his murder? By “hate,” Baird means “honest investigation into the texts and teachings of Islam that incite attacks such as this one, and the prevalence of such teachings in the Muslim community.”
And that’s the problem: every time there is another jihad attack or foiled jihad plot in the free world, our leaders just circle the wagons, trot out their Religion-of-Peace cliches again, warn us against “Islamophobia,” and refuse to look into the genuine root causes of the problem.
“Gunman who shot dead NSW police employee was radicalised youth,” ABC.net.au, October 3, 2015 (thanks to all who sent this in):
The actions of the 15-year-old gunman who shot dead a New South Wales police civilian employee were an act of terrorism, police say.
The radicalised youth of Middle Eastern background has been named as Farhad Jabar Khalil Mohammad.
He killed the police employee, Curtis Cheng, as he was leaving police headquarters at Parramatta in Sydney’s west around 4:30pm yesterday.
The offender then fired several more shots at officers as they emerged from the building to respond to the incident.
He was killed when the officers, who are special constables, returned fire.
Commissioner Andrew Scipione said police were a long way from establishing a full picture of the gunman but could confirm he was of Iraqi-Kurdish background and born in Iran.
“We believe his actions were politically motivated and therefore linked to terrorism,” Mr Scipione said.
“We have no information that this individual posed this type of threat but we will investigate thoroughly.”
He said police were also investigating how the 15-year-old was in possession of a gun and that the boy’s relatives in Australia had been co-operating with police.
Mr Scipione confirmed the victim was Curtis Cheng, a 17-year veteran of the police force’s finance department.
“He was a much-loved man, [he had] been with us a long time. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone have a bad word about Curtis and he will be missed,” he said.
Police executed a search warrant on Farhad Jabar Khalil Mohammad’s home on Friday night and seized “laptops and iPads” which they are now examining for clues as to the boy’s motivation.
Premier Mike Baird said the “chilling crime” would “echo around the world”, while Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull condemned the “cold-blooded murder, targeting the NSW Police Service”.
“It was doubly shocking because it was perpetrated by a 15-year-old boy and it underlines the importance of families, communities, leaders being very aware of whether young people are becoming radicalised,” Mr Turnbull said.
He urged the community to remember the Australian Muslim community would be especially appalled by the crime.
“We must not vilify or blame the entire Muslim community with the actions of what is, in truth, a very, very small percentage of violent extremist individuals,” he said.
“The Muslim community are our absolutely necessary partners in combating this type of violent extremism.”
Federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten described the shooting as a “shocking incident”.
In a statement he said Australians would struggle to comprehend how a 15-year-old boy would be part of a terrible crime.
“Our thoughts are also with the family of the alleged young perpetrator. Like all Australians, they will be struggling to comprehend how someone so young could be part of such a terrible crime,” the statement said….
Mr Baird said people were trying to understand “how someone so young could commit such a hideous crime”.
“We cannot let actions such as this divide us. We cannot let hate overtake us,” he said.
“We have to come together and I’m sure that’s what we’ll see from this city and state.”
No logical reason for attack is disturbing: police unionPat Gooley from the NSW Police Association said he was confident that appropriate processes were in place to assess this kind of threat but found it disturbing there was no logical reason for the attack.
“Police have been targets for a long time in their policing duties from drug offenders from mental health patients that require assistance,” he said.
“We are used to being under threat. What’s really concerning police is there’s no rhyme or reason to these current terror threats.”…

In 1999/2000 I worked at Parramatta. Jihad is everywhere. Unbelievable.
No Fear says
Coincidentally I was at a medical clinic next door to the mosque on Thursday. As soon as I heard about the shooting on Friday afternoon I sent a email to relatives pointing out that the shooting occurred after Friday prayers. Turns out I was correct in my guess for a motive for the shooting.
gravenimage says
You were quite right, No Fear.
Australian police have raided the Parametta Mosque. I hope this means they are finally getting a clue.
No Fear says
I know that Friday prayers seem to trigger weird behaviour in SOME muslims in the middle east and elsewhere. When I heard the time of the shooting I thought of the Friday prayer syndrome. I know nothing about Parramatta mosque except that I was, coincidentally, next door to it last Thursday. I believe the cops have since searched the place and found nothing of interest. The mosque has received some threats as a result of the shooting. Threatening a mosque is NOT acceptable and is totally inappropriate. I do NOT support or condone violence of ANY sort against ANYONE and news of such a threat disappoints me greatly. Whoever threatened the mosque is as bad as the shooter.
RG says
@No Fear. Idle threats, to say the least. Everybody knows that nobody ever carries out threats of violence against the muzzies! I dare anyone to name even one mosque that has ever been destroyed or attacked by Christians or other non-muzzlumz! I personally am all in favor of not only threatening the muzzie scums, but also for blowing up several hundred of their citadels of terrorist activities, i.e. the mosques!!!! Until we fight fire with FIRE were just pussyfootin’ around, playin’ cowboys and injuns with cap guns!!!
dumbledoresarmy says
I saw that, too.
In fact, back when the story first broke, and the dead murderer hadn’t yet been identified, there was something about me that made me suspect Islam might be involved; and one of the factors was the time of the attack – Friday afternoon. In other words…after the Friday midday prayers.
Another factor was the one-two punch: a first attack, followed by a second attack on the first responders. We see that so often with Islamic “raids”.
The third thing, of course, was the brazenness of the attack – in daylight, outside police HQ. The attack on law enforcement. I don’t think any ordinary Aussie Infidel criminals have ever dared do such a thing .
Something about the shape of this incident smelled of Islam; so I made a copy of the initial story and awaited developments. I wasn’t at all surprised when the unlamented little thug turned out to be a Mohammedan.
dumbledoresarmy says
Correction. I meant to write “something about it that made me suspect..”.

Australian Gun Law Update—Here’s a thought to warm some of your hearts.
From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia
Hi Yanks,
I thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down Under. It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.
The first year results are now in:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent,
Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent;
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. (Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not and criminals still possess their guns!)
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed. There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home.
Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in ‘successfully ridding Australian society of guns….’ You won’t see this on the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the State Assembly disseminating this information. The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note Americans, before it’s too late! Will you be one of the sheep to turn yours in?
WHY? You will need it.
Angemon says
That is the conclusion any reasonable person would reach when asking oneself “what would happen if possession of firearms were to be made illegal?”.
gravenimage says
None of this surprises me…
Thomas says
I said it before and I will say it again,we are all sitting ducks to the jihadists. Our own leaders have sold us out for a new Islamic sharia law run world. All the Islamic soldiers are flooding the west as refugees and we are taking them in like fools. Mass beheadings coming to the west in the near future for the infidels.
EL says
I will confirm it, the Australian bureaucrats and authorities are quite stupid. They have made a virtue of stupidity and sadly the evil-doers have taken notice.
tilda says
As for partnership with the Muslim community… politiicians have short memories.
Only a few months ago (July) the Australian Federal Police cancelled an Eid dinner after a backlash from the Muslim community.
“…a petition was circulated on July 2, urging imams and other representatives to boycott dinners in Sydney and Melbourne because they were a tokenistic attempt “to create a false image of co-operation, harmony and trust which could not be further from the truth”…In a statement, Concerned Muslims Australia hailed the cancellation of the dinner as proof of the “abundant strength in the unity of the Muslim community”.

EL says
It started in Australia from around 2001, yet nothing was done, before 2001 you would not see one bearded radical, not one! By 2012 a mass of these bearded buffoons rioted in Sydney CBD. Again zilch was done, the current police commissioner actually ordered riot police in 2012 to go easy on the jihadi protestors. As i mentioned before, the Australian authorities have become stupid. The generation brainwashed at school by PC crap, cultural marxism and self hate has sadly started started entering positions of power and authority. They are now confronted with a proto-jihadi threat and they have no idea what to do, or what to say. In the latter case they can say little as they may lose their jobs. As for the Martin place siege in 2014, that is another fiasco!
Rikki H says
This ‘not letting hate overcome us’message is becoming all too familiar, aren’t those who sit on the fence and swallow this bullshit getting tired of hearing this same ineffective, warm and fuzzy placating of the ostriches and those slightly more curious than the ostriches? Surely this can’t go on, I think soon non Muslims are going to start demanding that the explorations of the Koran and moderates implementation of a deprogrammin education in Islamic schools and mosques. What I can’t understand is why intelligence doesn’t have spies listening to the anti – western, pro-jihad recruiting rhetoric and reporting it to the governments as a significant problem, and the underlying cause of radicalization.
I’m not aware of how Australian intelligence works but historically MI5 and MI6 jas been one of the best intelligence groups in the Democratic world, second only to MOSSAD (i have the utmost respect for the way Israel consistently smash islamist movements effectively and unapologetically. It’s a disgrace how the West has abandoned this tiny country on the front lines. These people are the descendants of a generation that faced genocide at the hands of the Nazis and now we abandon them to a gar bigger and greater, more hateful anti-semitic threat. I sometimes wonder if it’s all a facade that our governments are pretending to be lax and ignorant to the threat because they have some secret grand plan in the pipeline, this thought stops me from completely losing it at times.
Dan says
Not vilify the rest of Muslim community? With such percentages of terrorist actions committed by Muslims?
Well then we better stop:
Associating Germans with Nazis.
And Catholics with the pedophile priests and Spanish Inquisition.
And America with slavery.
And western males with misogyny.
Because all in those groups those INNOCENT any wrongdoing have made MASSIVE effort to repair the damage by the nut jobs in their group.
We did more than just make a few public denouncements, we either changed our cultures, or hunted the nut jobs down, caught them, and turned them in to the authorities.
Only when “moderate” Muslims start doing so with their nut jobs, will I believe most Muslims are moderate.
Dave J says
That will be a long wait. The alleged “moderate majority” still accepts the basic tenets of the “religion” and will stay quiet while others act in it’s name. This is because their primary allegiance is always to “Allah” over any secular law or sense of morality. And it is a closed system – any criticism or denunciation would make them blasphemers (in the Islamic sense, where the truth doesn’t matter) and apostates, with the risk of capital punishment at those same hands.
Dan says
This is what’s so insane.
The biggest reason to emigrate is because you feel social conditions, and opportunities, in your country stink.
Well the reason they stink is because the majority of the citizens believe in and support the very practices that MADE things stink in the first place.
Moving to another culture, by default means you acknowledge something else is working better.
But multiculturalism says you don’t have to change to fit, but that your new home must change to fit you, which means our countries are being dragged down to a “smellier” level.
Jay Boo says
Unfortunately, “moderate” Muslims” use the same Qur’an.
Farhad Jabar Khalil Mohammad has no honor because Muhammad is his example.
Benedict says
The earlier prime minister Tony Abbot used to deport the entire family. This needs to be done. The present prime minister is talkong nonsense. An example has to be set
Islam :- the hateful religion of peace says
And bulldoze the Moske, any mosk found winding up jihadists during Friday prayers etc …
The Imam should be exported along with the family and the mosk bulldozed,,, with world media ..
It’s time for the right wing to rise up (once again) and deal with these …
Would the situation have pussy fitting around and pandering if this scenario was the Klu Klux Klan ?????
خَليفة says
Western countries should pass a law:
1) if suspect is killed in shoot out with police
2) if suspect is killed by civilians defending themselves
3) if suspect is given a death sentence after trial
After death that “suspect/criminal” is autopsied and cremated. Neither body nor ashes will be released to the family for burial.
NOTE: in general I do not approve of the “death penalty” – killing a “dog” for biting you doesn’t in any way stop other mad dogs from biting you. I do think in some cases a “death SENTENCE” is warranted. Why? A heinous criminal harms society twice – first in killing members, secondly when criminal is given a life sentence taxpayers (including the victims family) have to pay more taxes. Every murder in the US costs taxpayers about $1,000,000. It costs more than $40,000/ year/inmate to keep them in prison and criminals get free medical on top of that – the “death SENTENCE” removes a criminal from earth so that humanity is no longer burdened by them.

Australia: 15-year-old “radicalized” Muslim shoots police employee, police say “no rhyme or reason” for attack
…………………………………
I’m so tired of this stupid denial. Of course there’s a rhyme and reason to JIhad–it is intended to impose Muslim rule and Shari’ah law.
And pious Muslims don’t care how long this takes–they relentlessly battered against Byzantium for *seven hundred years* until Constantinople finally fell.
More:
The murder “was doubly shocking because it was perpetrated by a 15-year-old boy and it underlines the importance of families, communities, leaders being very aware of whether young people are becoming radicalised,” said Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, complacently assuming that Muslim “families, communities, leaders” in Australia are against this “radicalization” — but where is the evidence of that?
…………………………………
There is not evidence–or rather, all evidence is to the contrary. Mohammad had a relative under surveillance by Australian anti-terror authorities, and it seems that his sister has decamped for the Islamic State. This indicates that at least several family members–and quite possibly the entire family–support Jihad.
More:
Meanwhile, opposition leader Bill Shorten said: “Our thoughts are also with the family of the alleged young perpetrator. Like all Australians, they will be struggling to comprehend how someone so young could be part of such a terrible crime.” How does he know his family wasn’t involved? Has he carried out an investigation?
…………………………………
Exactly–and with the other Jihadists in the family, there is no reason to assume that they are “struggling to comprehend” this at all.
And why aren’t Shorten’s thoughts *with the family of the victim*?
By all reports police accountant Curtis Cheng was gentle, admired and much-loved and a devoted family man. He leaves behind a wife and two children, a boy and a girl.
More:
He urged the community to remember the Australian Muslim community would be especially appalled by the crime.
…………………………………
Is that so? And yet, this brutal murder was perpetrated by Mohammad just after Friday prayers at the Parramatta Mosque, where the Kutbah (“sermon”) was given by Jihad terror group Hizb ut-Tahrir.
Australian police just raided the Mosque…

I do believe this is true in some few cases, Joseph–when the family is lax or clueless or in deep denial, or in cases where the child is particularly secretive.
But this is fairly rare–and in this particular case, given the fact that Mohammad has at least two other relatives involved in Jihad, the knee-jerk assumption that the family was against “radicalization” tells you more about the rose-colored-glasses view of these dhimmi Infidels than it does about this killer’s family.
Muslims are less often “radicalized” over the internet then they are at home or in the Mosque. From what we have heard so far, both of these things were true of Muhammad.

Alas, that was not the case with my family.

When the abuse became too great and became a serious threat, I ran away. I was just fifteen.
I still love my family, but I have no illusions about how dangerous some of them can be, and take precautions in dealing with them.
Luckily, few families in the West are like this, and I was able to find many models that were much healthier, and I have been able to build my own loving home life.

This story has to be false, how do I know because guns were banned in Australia in 1997 making it impossible for this poor innocent Muslim to commit murder Just because the Australian Institute of Criminology shows crimes of ever nature have risen since the ban from 200 % to 800 % doesn’t mean anything.. If I had the disease Liberalism this is what I would believe. The Liberal fools in America still want our guns taken, even when solid proof is offered from a large country such as Australia, gun control not only doesn’t work but it allows crime to increase.
