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

Australia: Islamic State recruiter a threat to the U.S.

Apr 16, 2016 6:00 pm By Robert Spencer

A global war that only one side is fully taking seriously. Where did this “Australian” learn his understanding of Islam? What mosque in Australia did he attend? What is taught there? Does anyone know? Does anyone care?

Mohamed Zuhbi

“Aust IS recruiter threat to US, court told,” AAP, April 16, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann):

An Australian accused of recruiting foreign fighters for the Islamic State terror group is at the centre of a US constitutional battle in a Texas court.

US prosecutors have charged Mohamed Zuhbi with terrorism offences despite the 25-year-old former Sydney resident not stepping foot in the US.

An arrest warrant has been issued by US authorities for Zuhbi, who is believed to be living “somewhere along the border of Turkey and Syria”, prosecutors told the US District Court in Houston on Friday.

He is accused of helping 21-year-old US citizen and former Australian resident Asher Khan attempt to join IS.

Khan flew from Sydney to Turkey on February 24, 2014, after allegedly communicating with Zuhbi on Facebook.

Judge Lynn Hughes raised the constitutional question late last month when he issued the one-line order: “The United States of America must explain how the constitution gives the court jurisdiction over Mohamed Zuhbi.”

Prosecutors hit back on Friday, telling the judge Zuhbi’s actions in providing IS fighters was “criminal activity that harmed the interests of the United States and threatened its security”.

“The fact that Zuhbi was located outside the United States throughout the conspiracy is immaterial because the statutory requirement is satisfied so long as one conspirator was within United States jurisdiction,” prosecutors wrote in Friday’s court filing.

Judge Hughes is yet to rule on the issue….

    It doesn’t matter if he was ouside our country when he conspired. ISIS is our enemy! If a member or one of their supporters comes here they must be executed. It disgusts me he set foot in my beloved state.

      That is very simplistic.

      As much as I hate these idiots, what’s the difference between them pushing for a worldwide caliphate, and America operating like one? Go and act on Asher Khan. He is now a US citizen. If the US are serious about Zuhbi, the US can’t stop with just him. The US, just to show how powerful they are, should lay claims to all ‘Australians’ with the same mindset as Zuhbi. According to our last census, Australia has a population of 2.2% followers of Islam. They are all interlinked through Imams, mosques and doctrine. I believe our next census will show an increase to approximately 6%. In a country of 25,000,000, that’s a lot. By all means US, come and collect the lot of them. You will find that they scream “Death to America”, as much as they hate us here.

      Realistically though, America needs to stop poking it’s nose into the affairs of other countries. If this is an issue that has occurred outside of the US, what gives the US the right to act? Your constitution is not all encompassing. It does not cover other countries. It is your constitution. We have our own. I don’t believe the Free Trade Agreement between Australia and the US covers terrorism.

        This is nitpicking. The guy is a danger to both countries. In my opinion, both Ameriica and Australia and other counrries like France and the UK should establish Guatnanamo style internment camps for jihadis in remote Pacific islands which they own. No need for torture, simple work producing food for themselves and enough income so that the operation would be self sufficient. Jihadis could be made work ther to produce food for themselves and it might provide a deterrent for some of them, if they realize that they could end up in one of them for the rest of their lives. How much does it cost a country in surveillance, court cases, lawyers, judges and the rest, plus jail for many years? Too much. Let them work and pay for their internment. Muslims have no work ethic in any case.

        Islam has been at war for 1,400 years since Mo was leading his holy warriors in battles against the infidels. MO and his crew raped, beheaded, tortured, and sold captives into slavery. ISIS is Islamic and Mo would be leading ISIS if he was resurrected from hell.

        Guys like this Jihadist should be terminated. We need real-life heroes like Mitch Rapp, Jack Bauer, and Scott Harvath to take out the jihadi trash.

    The group he works for already deemed a terrorist organisation in Australia, as well as ISIS
    “gives aid, humanitarian aid”
    “collecting money and handing it out”
    travels across the border into Syria? “yes yes”
    He says he is “not a part of paramilitary group”, but “supports Islamic State”
    ” the future of Syria and I believe to be the future of the Islamic Empire to come”
    “Australia choses who it lists as a terrorist organisation”
    “In reality they are freedom fighters fighting for the state of islam”

      Sorry I missed,in the introductory part,,”a dual Australian Syrian citizen” so that was back a few years ago in Aug 2014. and the interview was when he was in Turkey

      “I was living in Syria for more than a year, until my wife had to give birth”.

      How long ago did he arrive in Australia, and when did he become an Australian citizen?
      So how come he is now safely back in Australia?
      I guess he will use the wife and child issue to remain in Australia, presuming of course is wife and child are now in Australia.
      Just not sure what group he is working for,? and is it deemed a terrorist group?

        His wife had to be with him. Pregnancy only lasts nine months and he said he was “living in Syria for more than a year”.

    There are treason laws in Australia. We need to make the authorities use those laws.

    Which mosque did he attend?

    He is not an “Australian” in any meaningful sense of the word.

    He is an “Aussie-passport-holding Mohammedan”. His loyalty is given to the Ummah, and if my government in Australia had any sense, such as he – who are *known* from their widely-publicised activities and statements to be up to their necks in bloody Jihad and the energetic incitement of same – would be loudly and publicly declared to be *no longer ‘Australian’ citizens*, their citizenship being declared NULL AND VOID.

    He is not an ‘australian’, but an Enemy Combatant, the declared and open enemy of infidel Australia and of all other non-Muslim sovereign states *everywhere in the world*.

      Good to hear from you, DDA. I am with you on this one, but I fear that our present Government under Mr “Turncoat” does not have the guts to deal with these idiots who are NOT willing to integrate, but want to DOMINATE.

    US prosecutors have charged Mohamed Zuhbi with terrorism offences despite the 25-year-old former Sydney resident not stepping foot in the US.

    Huh, so what? Was he plotting a terror attack against the US or not?

    It is naive to believe any mosque is not teaching the members how to create chaos, sharia, jihad, beheading, foment riots and work to build a muslim nation everywhere.Muslims have one goal in life to rule everyone with Islam or beheading PERIOD!
