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

Australia: Police ask reporter to take down video of witness saying car attacker was screaming “Allahu akbar”

Jan 20, 2017 6:59 am By Robert Spencer

Andrea Hamblin is a reporter for the Herald Sun. Her tweet below indicates that the police are not so much as investigating the car attack that killed at least three people and wounded many more in Melbourne as they are actively trying to cover up evidence that it was a jihad attack. They don’t want people to think this was jihad, and are working to conceal evidence that it was.

What do they think this denial will get them? Do they think it will please and pacify Muslims in Australia, such that there will be no more jihad attacks of this kind? If so, they’re in for a rude awakening. Or do they have some agenda that involves wanting to keep Australians ignorant and complacent about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat? If so, what is that agenda? Globalist internationalism requiring national suicide? Can a better face be put on this?

    Good thing you have freedom of speech…oh, wait.

      None of the democratic nations have anything like free speech ,Just look at the EU , England , Canada ,Australia,as well as all marxist and islamic nations . Glad I live in a constutional republic .

        So which constitutional republic do you live in? France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden… ? Poland – or perhaps Russia?

        Must be one where the press frequently proclaims, in conjunction with the police and other security forces, that any given terrorist attack has nothing to do with Islam. It’s always work related, depression, etc.

        Now where could that be??? Perhaps somewhere between the Pacific and the Atlantic? Do tell us.

          There is no freedom of speech in Britain. At least the USA still has freedom of speech and since Trump is now POTUS will keep its freedoms for another 4 years.

          I agree the MSM in the US is as spineless and lily livered as here in Britain and the EU……a complete inability to blame ANYTHING on Islam. But at least in the USA you cannot get arrested for telling the truth.

      Rokshox, hopefully this man told the police to get stuffed with the rough end of a pineapple and he did not withdraw the video. Those gutless, dishonest police want to promote a lie and mislead Australian about the violent nature of Islam. Almost unbelievable! As if this cowardly pandering to Muslims will discourage Muslims from resorting to violence against ‘infidels’! Pathetic!

    let’s see if we can put a leftie news media spin on this…the attacker…

    He was simply looking for Ally’s Snackbar…yeah that’s it…..and so this has nothing to do with islam because islam is a religion of peace(Except when its followers are following the koranic teaching of slaughtering the infidels wherever they are found).

    Not a joke at all.
    The white wash is well underway:
    ‘They’ are trying to blame ‘domestic violenxe’ which was actually the guy threatening to gouge out his step fathers eye out for stealing his car which was used in his rampage.
    Video has also surfaced of him doing the ISIS salute out the car window as he “waited for the cops to show up” before mowing down pedestrians in Melbourne shopping district.

    Australia needs a Trump model of prime minister and a Donald type of government.
    Otherwise will become like UK, France, Germany or Sweden.

    Jan 20, 2017 at 8:39 am

    Political correctness is a crime against humanity.
    The quicker morons running western governments, all over the world, learn that there is no chance of an appeasement policy working NOR will they ever peacefully integrate & take such action as is appropriate, under that …..the quicker will the rest of the truly peaceful folks live without fear or threat from these 7th century barbarians.
    …….And these are supposed to be the milder ones.
    It required a Qaddafi & Saddam to keep them ‘peaceful’………
    Now that they are loose, think ISIS murderer Baghdadi for starters…….

    I’m looking at news coverage of this event. On it is an ad which says

    “How to Convert to Islam”
    “How to Convert and Become a Muslim With Live Help by 1-to-1 Chat !”

    Google knows.

    is that the ISIS hand sign at 1:05?

    this person is not a Greek Australian as the state broadcaster is reporting:
    http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-20/car-hits-several-pedestrians-in-melbournes-cbd/8197876

    What do they think this denial will get them?

    They won’t be called “racists”, “bigots” or “islamophobes”, won’t jeopardize their careers and/or pensions, etc.

    Melbourne also has a Somali gang called “Apex” running wild, car jacking & robbing people. Getting to be a dangerous place.

  12. c matt says

    Jan 20, 2017 at 9:51 am

    Maybe he was saying “hail a hack bar” or “Al A. Ackbar”.

  13. Walter Sieruk says

    Jan 20, 2017 at 10:42 am

    Of course that vicious violence was “terror related’ .It’s a blatant denial a of reality to say anything else . To be even more specific is was Islamic terrorism. The Qu ‘ran instructs jihad-minded Muslims to “Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you….” 9:123. Using a car in an jihad attack is ,indeed, a very effective way to show non-Muslims harshness.

    “Police have asked me to take down this video…”

    If I were a journalist, and police asked me to take down a video, I would simply tell them I would promptly comply if they give me that request in writing and with a signature on it. If they are bold enough to do so, I would promptly comply and would also promptly broadcast that request to the public for all to see.

  15. mortimer says

    Jan 20, 2017 at 1:28 pm

    If the public doesn’t realize it’s under jihad attacks from Muslims, how can they be PREPARED for the attacks? They won’t know what’s happening until it’s too late to react, thus costing lives.

    POLITICAL CORRECTNESS LIKE THIS COSTS LIVES.

    Contrast the dhimmi Australian police request against this brief segment of President Donald Trump’s Inauguration speech (link will auto load to start with quote):

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRBsJNdK1t0&t=11m4s

    We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world – but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.

    We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow.

    We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones – and UNITE THE CIVILIZED WORLD AGAINST RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM, WHICH WE WILL ERADICATE COMPLETELY FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH.

    At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.

    When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.

    The most frequent and omnipresent (from Europe to Australia) part of mass murder stories becomes the eloquent reason “Police afraid…” Afraid?! Police?! Means, taxpayers should be very afraid too – not so of jihadists as of the ever-afraid politcorrect officers!

    THE mother of Dimitrous “Jimmy” Gargasoulas has expressed the disgust she feels for his shocking rampage through Melbourne’s CBD on Friday.

    Gargasoulas also spoke about the bloody fight between James and his younger brother Angelo on Friday.She said the fight over Angelo’s sexuality. “Jimmy keeps saying to me, I’m going to kill all gays and poofters and lesbians,” she said.

    The police are not falling anyone with their statement that this was not a terrorist act.
    We all know he was a muslim.
    The cops should be charged with treason to their country for saying such bullshit. They are under instructions from above to never admit a muslim did anything wrong.
    The Australian people have had a gutfull of leftist, political correctness.
    If the police told the truth they would be sacked by their brainwashed superiors.

    The reward for complying?
    The gov’t officials will be last to be killed.
