Oddly enough, authorities are saying already that he was “inspired by Islamic State.” It is unlikely that we have seen the last of the ridiculous “mental illness” explanation, but it is refreshing to see Australian authorities essentially call jihad jihad. Now if only they would start to act effectively and realistically against it.
“Man charged with committing terrorist act in Sydney and attempted murder,” by Rachel Olding, Sydney Morning Herald, September 11, 2016 (thanks to Kenneth):
A 59-year-old man walking his dog in Sydney’s west on Saturday afternoon was allegedly stabbed multiple times by a man inspired by Islamic State.
Police charged the 22-year-old assailant with committing a terrorist attack and attempted murder following the random stabbing attack in Ohlfsen Road, Minto, just after 4pm.
Deputy Commissioner Catherine Burn said it’s possible the man attacked the stranger in an attempt to lure police and attack them.
When officers tried to arrest him at a home in Ohlfsen Road, he allegedly attempted to stab an officer through the window using a large knife.
They had to use a Taser to subdue him.
Ms Burn said investigators have found information to suggest the man had planned to commit an attack on Saturday that was inspired by Islamic State.
“We know that this person has strong extremist beliefs inspired by ISIS. What made him actually act yesterday we don’t know,” she said.
“There was clearly some planning yesterday that we do know about and that only came to light post the incident.”
“This clearly was a very volatile, very violent situation that police and the members of the community were confronted with.”
The 59-year-old victim, known as Wayne, was well-known around the neighbourhood and was often seen out walking.
He was allegedly stabbed while walking through a reserve on Saturday and he suffered serious injuries to his hands and body.
Witnesses heard the 22-year-old man shouting in Arabic during and after the attack. The victim managed to run to a nearby home to seek help.
He was taken by ambulance helicopter to Liverpool Hospital in a critical condition. His condition improved to serious on Sunday.
The 22-year-old man allegedly chased his victim to the home and tried to smash his way in. He was arrested at the scene following a confrontation with police.
Police believe the 22-year-old didn’t know the local man but Ms Burn said he had “formed some views” about him in the immediate lead-up to the attack.
โThe 22-year-old has a criminal conviction for property-related offences and had come to the attention of local police recently for “odd” behaviour that suggested he may hold extremist beliefs, Ms Burn said.
She said he was not connected to any local or international terror groups but he’s “clearly dealing with some issues”….

Lynne says
He was possibly attacked because he was walking his dog. Muslims hate dogs. Or he just wanted to kill someone. But to chase him to home and try to break in is insane. Boy they build up a rage!
carol says
lynne
They probably hate dogs because they have more humanity than them. Dogs can be fiercely protective of those that give them genuine love. This “other” bonding wouldn’t have suited Mo’s group control grid.
I think the nearness of 9/11 is inspiring trouble. Maybe they want to avoid the actual day as PR is wearing quite thin.
Greyhound Fancier says
I think Mohammedan was opposed to dogs because as a caravan raider, he didn’t want dogs to alert his victims as he and the gang were approaching. Cats he loved – cats usually don’t make good watchdogs!
bob kelly says
Greyhound Moh didn t like dogs cause if you had one at home , he said the angels would not come. The more I read about Moh the more I see he was just a ignorant barbaric tribesman from the desert, who could not read or write and he had a imagination that he call the connect to alla
bob kelly says
Is the dog black ? , black dogs are at the top of the hate dog list that muslims have.
Ranger says
What do you know about Islam? you and how did you abuse our Prophet??? Muhammad Peace be upon him, Islam is religion of Peace and in our religion we are taught to respect human beings and Animals we don’t hate dogs, there is a certain limit for everything, is it said that keep your dog out as they are not clean reason behind is not good for human health.
Islam is perfect Muslims are not.
linnte says
And scientific evidence proves otherwise about dogs being unclean. If the owner of the dog keeps him bathed, up to date on shots,(like human vaccines), and the dog is trained to poop and pee outside, dogs are no dirtier than your Muhammad was. He who said all water is clean, no matter what has been dumped into a well. Why would an Angel of God be afraid of one of God’s creations? It is illogical. Are angels afraid of spiders or lions? How about rats and snakes? Scorpions and Gila Monsters? Absurd! You demean God by making his created angels afraid of ANYTHING!
No Fear says
This happened a few kilometres from my house. Mohammed’s henchmen are getting closer.
Angry Aussie says
I feel for you. They are everywhere now. Cluster bombs of extremists are all over Brisbane’s southside and through Logan too. Brace yourself. Jihad is here.
Rosie says
The question to ask is why have these known extremists and their families not been deported BEFORE they carry our these atrocities!
JMB says
Why were they even allowed into Australia in the first place?
Note, Our recently elected PM Turnbull has made it quite clear that he is very sympathetic to Muslims. (He is also very sympathetic to the LGBT community)
Any calls for deportation for these sorts of murdering scum will be answered by cries of racism and xenophobia.
Note, the victim of this crime was a 59 year old man taking his dog for a walk. A very popular activity here in Australia and most civilised nations. Again, Muslims are not and never will be part of our society.
Peggy says
I feel that they were brought here to do just what savages do.
So many soldiers of Satan all over western countries cannot be just a coincidence. I might’ve even bought this if it wasn’t for our leaders importing more as fast as they can even though it’s clear to even an idiot that this is a very bad move.
JMB says
To Peggy,
Many years ago I fell for the line that “Islam is just like Christianity, except they have an additional prophet and his thoughts are recorded in the Koran.” Nothing to worry about. This was when the first influx started arriving in Australia. About the same time, I listened to an outstanding address by a Greek Christian pastor who had suffered under Islam in Egypt. I also read an interesting article by a retired missionary who had served in Malaysia. He said that Islam will be the greatest threat that western civilisation will ever face.
Then the mosques started going up in suburban Sydney, The rest is history in the making.
Soldiers of Satan, how very true.
Mike says
Remember the Battle of Broken Hill – the first “modern-style” jihadi incident in the West.
Happened in Australia, 1915.
It has been coming closer for a long time.
particolor says
Beware of Ice Cream Trucks ๐ ๐
Mark A says
I hadn’t heard of the Battle of Broken Hill before so I just looked it up online. Thanks for pointing it out.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Broken_Hill
JMB says
As a one time Broken Hill resident this was a very important episode in the history of that city. However most Australians are totally unaware that it even happened. Basically some local Muslims of Turkish descent attempted to blow up a train in retaliation for the allied attacks on the Ottoman Empire in WW1. It was a very violent local skirmish.
This is a case of “Muslims have always been part of our society, in this case” descendants of camel drivers, and no, they were not part of any organised terror group (the terror groups did not exist back then). But they were Muslims, their loyalty will always be to the Islamic world no matter how nice we are to them.
Talking of being nice to them.I would also assume that the attacker in Sydney’s west would have been collecting welfare, possibly our totally misused job start allowance or sickness benefits. My only regret in the case of this attack was that the victim was not walking a large German Shepherd dog. (But again, the victim would have been arrested for not controlling a dangerous dog) We just can’t win, the Muslims have it all over us.
Peggy says
The sad part is that they would have killed the dog too.
I see you live in Sydney. I live in Melbourne but we have a huge Muslim population here as well and they seem to cluster.
Malcolm Turdbull (not a spelling mistake) wants us all to tighten our belts, pay more for visiting a doctor and pay for pathology as well because we have a budget crisis. He is punishing the unemployed by forcing them to work for the dole when they can’t afford to work on the money they get. It costs money to pay for public transport or fill up your car to go to work and the small amount they get can’t even feed them.
Remember the $ 7.00 co payment when you see a doctor they wanted to slug people on welfare with? All this hardship put on the most vulnerable because they can’t control the budget but they keep importing more and more leeches who will never become productive unless you call overbreeding productive.
I am going to write to my MP and tell him exactly this.
Hope we all will.
Kay says
I’m sorry. That’s really scary. Sad too.
Ken says
Australia is architecting its own downfall, aided and abetted by well-meaning but deluded lefty/greenie/hippie citizens suffering from cultural cringe. Freeze Muslim immigration now and begin the crackdown – miscreants to be shipped out on the next leaky boat, followed by the loony Left.
Patrick Elliget says
Just another Lone wolf or mentally unstable person no doubt! The religion of peace strikes again !Sad to say civil war in the west to defeat this scourge is now inevitable ;-(
linnte says
If he was planning on our Friday and perpetrated on our Saturday, it was actually September 11 in Australia.
particolor says
But ALLEDGEDLY Nothing to do with Islam ๐ ๐
dumbledoresarmy says
Yes.
TheBuffster says
Yep. I suspect this was his personal commemoration of that sinister date.
And, for visitors reading this who may not be aware, note that September 11th was the beginning date of the Battle of Vienna in which the Muslims were defeated in their attempt to make further inroads into Europe. They were driven away once and for all – until now, that is – from their efforts to Islamize the West. The symbolism of that date was the reason it was chosen for the original 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. It’s not surprising when some jihadist ass decides to make some points with Allah when that date rolls around.
mamabear says
Last week I read “The prophet Mohahammad Islam Unveiled” and it blew my mind I have since then read 4 books of Robert Spencer and am currently reading “The Legacy of Jihad Islamic Holy war and the fate of non-muslims” (I read fast) I’d heard bits and pieces about Islam, I didn’t
know shit about Mohammad’s life, now that I do it just opened up a whole new world. It’s all in their books, it’s out there for anyone to read. The pieces finally started to fit together and it explains why they’re doing what they’re doing. Watching Europe struggle to maintain their identity is heartbreaking. 1400 year war, they haven’t forgotten but apparently we have.
Greyhound Fancier says
What you learned about Mohammed explains why John Milton portrayed Mohammed as being in Hell.

Brad says
So when is the moderate muslim community going to openly condemn this scum bags lowlife dog act?
Sick of Jihad says
Even if they condemn it publicly, privately they know it’s in keeping with the teachings of their religion.
particolor says
They Wont !!
carol says
A generalized message sends the opposite message. Asking them to SPECIFICALLY and accurately name an individual or group will probably be met with silence or obfuscations about tolerance to their own, lack of appropriate remedy etc.
carol says
It’s a Catch-22. How can they TRULY condemn those who are only fulfilling the demands of their Holy Book?
Condemning those who follow their graven image book would make them kafir. Posing questions to refugees in this manner could help separate the wheat from the chaff – were it not for taqqiya.
Bob says
Brad – they won’t! Even if they’re truly horrified by the actions of their fellow-religionists/cultists, they’re also afraid of them!! It’s safer to keep shtum!

He will get off in court the bloody do gooders will rally around him saying he has a mental illness as they always do ….Islam is a evil. Vile.religious cult and needs to be contained to the middle east .but even most of those countries wont have these scum what does that tell you?????.Yes it was 11th when he committed the attack so it was inline with americas tragedy.
Martel says
As the Islamic population increases rapidly in south western Sydney, is this something that we are going to have to get used to? More people “with issues” trying to execute us in the name of a primitive Arabian peninsula God.
I regularly walk through the streets of this suburb and find this extremely disconcerting.
As the years go bye more and more friendly Anglo neighbours move away and are replaced with south Asian , middle eastern muslims who seem to have little interest engaging me in conversation or even acknowledging me or my family.
Is this the future tax-payer funded distopia that we deserve in Australia? The lessons of Lebanon, Kosovo and western Europe are not being learned here, which makes Australia even more foolish to continue down the same dead end road.
JMB says
A violent crime + a southwest Sydney location = Islam.
Pauline Hanson, our secretly admired but officially totally despised politician has called for a Royal Commission into Islam in Australia. Bring it on!
Thank you Jihad Watch for publishing this story.
And I totally agree with Martel. Asian, Islamic, Indian and now African immigration is destroying oonce white Anglo Australia.
We have also seen in the past few days how Chinese are funding our politicians, while this happens the invasion will continue unabated.
Martel says
I agree with many concerns regarding the future direction of Australia.
In my comment I was however referring directly to southern Asian Muslims and middle eastern Muslims.
I have had no problem with non islamic immigrants personally, I’ve found most polite and respectable to me in general. I do see real concerns with the islamisation of many parts of Australia as this totalitarian way of life will prove to be hugely disruptive, antagonistic and ultimately incompatible with our egalitarian freedom loving way of life down under.
Continued attacks like this will see the further rise of parties such as One Nation and Australian Liberty Alliance. The major parties need to start doing something now and remove apologists like Malcolm Turnbull or face their eventual demise.
tony says
i hope pauline hanson starts to scream louder and louder about this .we normal peolpe have no say what so ever.we need her to push this issue full on
Shane Brandon says
If The Extremist,fanatical,muslims ever get a real hold in Australia we will have nothing to look forward to but sharia law,and no so called moderate muslim will renounce them because they are one and the same.
More of us need to share the same concerns as Pauline Hanson,Sonia Kruger,and other courageous Australians who have no problem stepping up to the plate and renouncing this evil culture, who’s sole purpose is to subjugate every living Australian into misery and slavery.
Civil war is coming to Europe because of this insane ideology which is destroying the once Christian nations. We have to make a stand now or suffer the same fate as Europe.
OUT THEY GO, PERIOD.
Waiting says
“Civil war is coming to Europe because of this insane ideology which is destroying the once Christian nations”
One can see just how Churchill felt as early as 1934… He saw it all coming.
I wonder if our traitors will get away with what they have wrought?
Ratta says
White flight is a new phenomenon to Australia but it’s actually flight from Muslims. And not white but all ethnicities. Real estate agents tell me when they’re selling houses and or land, they re frequently asked directly if there are any Muslims nearby. They tell me even Sikhs and Indians ask. A blanket ban of Muslims immigrating starting with Arab Muslims is now in order. Sends the first message
Michael Copeland says
“White Flight” is a term beloved by the media because it is catchy and rhyming.
In reality it is White Drive-Out, or rather, as you explain, Kaffir Drive-Out.

I believe Catherine Burn is well out of her depth here and during the Lindt Cafe. So far there have been a number of attacks on the police and their employees.

Hillary may call Trump supporters deplorable, but I say what is deplorable is that the media in the US is being told not to tell the public about all the mini-attacks on people in the name of Islam. Better yet the media is not allowed to say how deplorable it is for a Muslim to rape a 4 year old girl, when the Evil attacker is between the ages of 8 and 13 years old, and the Fathers of the attackers say that is the right of their son to do so
Dr, Gonzalo de Porras y Rodriguez says
The Koran states that where there is a dog or a picture, angels do not enter. Therefore it is not alien to Islam who attack a man who walks with a dog

Get over it, Mohammedans.

“Witnesses heard the 22-year-old man shouting in Arabic during and after the attack. The victim managed to run to a nearby home to seek help.”
shouting what? Did the Police ask the witnesses? something like?
โAllahu Akbarโ Arabic for (โGod/Allah is greaterโ)?
Praeceptor Maximus says
It is Islam that corrodes people’s minds, turning them into killers. But then what do you expect from a god who says that he created men and jinn to serve him. Allah has no relationship with his(?) people. Allah is incapable of love, because Muhammad was incapable of love. Allah was, after all, Muhammad’s alter ego. It is tempting to believe that Allah is Satan, but Allah is too dumb to be Satan. Satan is evil, not stupid. Had the Quran been the work of Satan, then there wouldn’t have been so many historical, scientific, mathematical and grammatical errors in it. As I said in one of my earlier posts, Islam has to be publicly denounced as a false religion; Quran has to be publicly denounced as a vile and poorly written book; Mohammad has to be publicly reviled for a lying charlatan that he was. All these must be done to humiliate and to ultimately annihilate Islam and Islamists, so people can be free from this vile ideology everywhere

Minto terror attack: Hero Sivei Ah Chong confronted knife-wielding man who was attacking neighbour
“Mr Ah Chongโs son Derek said Khan, who brandishing what looked like a large hunting knife, was in a crazed state and kept trying to attack them and Wayne after being repeatedly hit in the head with a piece of timber.
โMy dad kept saying to him drop the knife or I will hit you and he (Khan) just said โDo it, I want you to do itโ. Then my dad grabbed the piece of wood he had used before and smashed him over the head again and he backed off then and he looked a bit dazed.
โHe then started yelling โcall the police, call the police, I want them to come and shoot me I want to die todayโ.โ
Mr Ah Chong said he feared for his life and thought he would have died if Khan had a gun but at the time he only thought of trying to protect his family and help Wayne.
โI kept yelling at him to put the knife down but he was still walking up to me and I kept saying put your knife down,โ Mr Ah Chong said.
โWayne had knife wounds to his arms and neck and his hands from trying to protect himself. If he (Kahn) had a gun I would be dead, I was very afraid for my life.โ
Derek, 20, described the nightmare-like scene as Wayne, suffering wounds to his hands, arms and neck, managed to stumble away from Khan leaving blood splattered all over Mr Ah Chongโs Ford sedan, pleading with the family to save his life.
โWhen I got outside I could see Wayne running towards our car and he was yelling out โhelp, help me,โ and my dad has yelled at me to grab something from the garage and the closest thing I could find was the broom stick so I have grabbed that and then my dad has chased the attacker and my cut him off from Wayne,โ he said.
โHe was trying to get at Wayne who had run across to the neighbours house and my dad has hit the attacker across the head with a plank of wood and Wayne has managed to get into the hairdressers house and locked himself inside there.
โBy the time I came back from the garage my dad were standing out the front of the neighbours house and the attacker was trying to break into the hairdressers with his knife.

Note: The – probably Buddhist – ethnically-Vietnamese hairdresser who had the presence of mind to quickly shut and lock her door with the victim inside her salon and the jihadist *outside*, and the – secular or Buddhist, most likely – ethnically-chinese Chong family with Dad bringing down that broomstick good and hard on the head of the crazed allahu-akbaring Muslim, have more than earned their Aussie citizenship today. They assisted the desperately-wounded Mr Greenhalg; precisely as I am sure Mr Greenhalg would have done for *them*.

What a stupid statement. He followed Islam, the world’s largest terrorist group, who are directed by commands from the Koran, the terrorist’s guidebook.

They are attacking everywhere!
Personally a week ago a 25 year old muslim tried to rape me.
Followed me to my car, opened the passenger door and climbed in. He started the abuse putting his hands on my body etc. Was wearing a dress.
Little did he know I had a special screwdriver in my car and I threatened to stab him. I screamed to get the hell out. Finally HE was scared and left. Was more mad than afraid and really pissed off at the people who made it happen.
I live in the south of France near Cannes and Antibes.

The plan is to strike terror into our hearts and then bankrupt us with security costs until people feel is is simpler and safer to convert. Longer prison sentences cost more and the criminal will eventually get out, unchanged except more embittered and aggressive.
The only alternative is to publicly recognize the evil in this ideology, denounce it, deport it’s practitioners and ban the Koran forever more. Anything else will result in a slow war of attrition that will sap our will to resist.
Mark A says
The statement that the attacker “is clearly dealing with some issues” sounds like the “mental illness” excuse is being used as an explanation for this.
Since Islamists hate dogs, is there any indication of whether the dogs was attacked and injured along with the dog owner?
As for subduing this guy with a Taser, I think bullets would have been more appropriate in this case.
Steve Duke says
Someone said there were no terror groups in 1914. As an Historian I can tell you there were but we weren’t aware of them because jihad terror ( call it what it is) was confined to the Moslem world & there were no Hi-tech media spreading it around the world in 36 hrs. To the Magnum worshipper-Stun guns or Tazers can kill as does Tear gas in a confined space.Personally I prefer a .303 Short Magazine Lee Enfield No1 Rifle ,I have used one,its easy to use and …well.I’m a traditionalist. And,one thing more, Daesh are on the way out but there’ll be other groups we just have to stand up to.
JMB says
I made the comment that the terror groups did not exist in the context of the Battle of Broken Hill (outback Australia) in WW1. I was thinking principally in terms of ISIS and Hamas and the like.
Yes terror groups did exist in WW1 and before. lets face it the gunpowder plot led by Guy Fawkes to blow up the English parliament was a terror group. There were probably hundreds of other groups, this would include Irish dissidents also in WW1.

Western elites know virtually nothing about Islam and certainly don’t know that Mohammed encouraged his followers to kill all the dogs in Arabia.
