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

Australia: Islamic State sympathizer pleads guilty to firearms charges

Oct 19, 2015 5:39 am By Robert Spencer

“During that bail hearing, prosecutors argued he should be in custody, claiming he sympathised with Islamic State. They cited the discovery of a flag and clothes during the raid as evidence that Ammouche supported IS, but the magistrate pointed out that he had not been charged with any terrorism offences.”

Oh, well then, that makes it all right.

Omar Ammouche

“Sydney man arrested in counter-terrorism raids, Omar Ammouche, pleads guilty to firearms charges,” by Lucy McNally, ABC.net.au, October 19, 2015 (thanks to Kenneth):

A Sydney man arrested during counter-terrorism raids in January has pleaded guilty to firearms charges.

Omar Ammouche was charged with firearm offences such as possessing ammunition subject to a prohibition order.

It is alleged officers found a bag with 50 shotgun shells when heavily armed police searched his Greenacre apartment in south-west Sydney in January.

The 33-year-old arrived at court today for a scheduled hearing, but he pleaded guilty to the firearms charges so the case was adjourned until he is sentenced in December.

He was facing other charges associated with a licence to work as a security guard, but those charges were withdrawn today.

Ammouche was granted bail in January, not long after his arrest.

During that bail hearing, prosecutors argued he should be in custody, claiming he sympathised with Islamic State.

They cited the discovery of a flag and clothes during the raid as evidence that Ammouche supported IS, but the magistrate pointed out that he had not been charged with any terrorism offences….

    I’d like to know what what have happened had he been a non-Muslim Australian with the exact same type of weaponry, but with either Nazi regalia (full Gestapo uniform and death’s-head badge) and a Swastika banner and a well-thumbed annotated copy of Mein Kampf, or else a KKK hood and robe and related literature, etc.

      It would have been an absolute gift to the msm, and the politicians. They could have gone into ecstatic, full screaming mode, about the dangers of ”right wing extremism”.

      In fact, they’re all so desperate to find some, to counter the undeniable facts of jihad, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if it isn’t actually *set up* at some point. But perhaps I’m being OTT cynical.

    If he goes full jihadi, his victim’s blood will be in the hands of that ignorant magistrate.

    ”If he goes full jihadi, his victim’s blood will be in the hands of that ignorant magistrate.”

    Spot on, Angemon.

    It is so often true that we are, in fact, *more* endangered by the idiotic enablers of jihad, like this fool, than the jihadists themselves.

    I only wish, that in cases like this ( and there are all too many of them), it is the enabling fools that get blown up, not the guiltless citizens they are *supposed* to be protecting.

    Meanwhile, in the UK –

    “David Cameron launches major review to determine whether Islamist extremists
    have infiltrated every walk of life from the NHS to the education system”

    About 30 years late

    Head bumpers, it is October 2015
    Islam is still not a religion.
    Muhammad is still dead and a woeful disgrace to humanity.
    Have some shame.
