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

Australia: Police tell bartenders, waiters and cleaners to be ready to combat Islamic State jihadis

Dec 4, 2017 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

Like so many other non-Muslim nations, Australia is in a state of war that it doesn’t want to admit. And so citizens have to do the job that soldiers aren’t doing. Yet they will be coming up against trained, ruthless, and determined jihad murderers.

“Bartenders, waiters and CLEANERS versus ISIS: Front of house staff warned to be ready to combat knife-wielding and truck-driving terrorists while they wait for police to arrive,” by Peter Devlin, Daily Mail Australia, December 3, 2017 (thanks to Kenneth):

Bartenders, waiters and cleaners have been warned to ready themselves to fight terrorists in the event of attacks.

In the lead up to New Year’s Eve celebrations police are telling nightclubs, restaurants, shopping centres and sports grounds across NSW their staff need to be trained to deal with armed terrorists.

Police have warned ‘front of house staff’ across a range if industries to prepare for a ‘probable’ terrorist attack, The Daily Telegraph reported.

Senior Sergeant Rob Fleischer said ‘frontline staff need to understand the plans’ in the event of an attack.

‘A lot of times it’s not going to be us (police) who are going to be dealing with the first five minutes. The first five minutes is front of house staff,’ he said.

Inspector Peter Aitken said the warning referred to ‘ushers, people who take money at checkouts, cleaners, security…. there’s a whole range.’

Staff must be able to spot suspicious behaviour and be ready to help patrons to safety during an attack.

This comes in the wake of the arrest of Somali-Australian alleged terrorist Ali Khalif Shire, who was accused of plotting an ISIS-inspired New Year’s Eve attack….

    And citizens are ready to do your job….as long as they’re allowed to carry concealed guns!!!

      Australia is a gun-free zone (at least for the law abiding citizen it is.)

        The government “solution” is the same as putting unarmed troops in the front lines.

        • Frank Anderson says

          Dec 6, 2017 at 12:49 am

          Jerome, I think you are correct. I would like to explain: About 10 years ago I was working at an indoor shooting range. (I have done a really large number and variety of things!) A lady, probably a real estate agent, who had to meet customers usually alone and in isolated surroundings to show vacant houses, spent about 4 hours with an instructor teaching her to use a 22 rimfire revolver (an extremely weak and generally ineffective defense weapon). After the session, she asked me what ammunition to use in the totally unsuited target handgun for defense. I really irritated the instructor by telling her to leave the gun at home. Here we have “shall issue” carry permits, meaning anyone who can pass the criminal background check shall be issued a concealed carry permit, and we have a very self-defense supportive law and prosecutor. Nobody in government here wants to punish lawful self-defense, right now. Vote in enough of the wrong party and that will change.

          What she was expecting to use as a weapon would not impress a person loaded on drugs or drunk. It certainly would make a jihadi, drunk on “religion”, bent on “suicide by cop” to obtain martyrdom laugh as he cut, shot or bombed her to pieces. Such an intoxicated condition makes a person impervious to pain and indifferent to who could be harmed or how severely. Her thought that she could just show the weapon to scare off an attacker was “ill-considered”. Drunk people do not think like sober people. If she actually shot an attacker, it would take so long to disable the attacker that he could almost certainly wad her up like a wet newspaper before he got help from wounds that could take days or weeks to put him (her attacker) out of action. A box cutter in the hand of a small woman is unlikely to impress an attacker armed with a “real” knife (think of Crocodile Dundee), a firearm or motor vehicle. But having one could engender the false sense of confidence for her to go places and take risks that she could otherwise avoid.

          To have a weapon where just having it is illegal, or to use a weapon, whether held legally or not, in some countries can cause more damage through the “legal” system than the original attack. Totalitarian governments, by whatever labels, want people to be both helpless and powerless, depending on someone else, who will never be there at the precise time and place needed. The people who have allowed governments to take away their firearms and then to criminalize the basic right of civilization to self-defense deserve the terror they asked for, and should not depend on others, police, military or foreigners to do their hazardous work for them. Please pay an attorney who will afford the right of client confidentiality for advice in understanding and complying with the law until the law is changed.

      How does the Australian police expect law abiding citizens to defend and protect themselves , when the government imposed draconian guns laws which hamper any effort of self defense? The police were culpable by seizing citizens weapons,now they need their help? The lunatics are running the asylum!

      Right, Salah ! In the meantime, before you carry your fire-arm (perhaps legally ?) plan on having some other sort of weapon at hand and, above all, be always conscious of your environment in public places. Organize your friends.

          Except that in fact more *Americans* have been shot on American soil, by Muslims waging jihad, than Australians on Australian soil. Curtis Cheng and one of the victims in the Lindt Cafe Siege are the two Aussies shot by Muslims in Australia. There has also been one case of ‘knife jihad’, in a backpacker hostel; the Muslim killed two people. Granted, maybe someone at the hostel (probably not one of the foreign guests – most of the people there were foreign tourists.. even in America, do you allow foreign tourists to swan around with concealed weapons????) could *possibly* have stopped a couple of the killings (the first tooke veryone completely by surprise).

          Meanwhile, America… has had Orlando, and San Bernardino, and Fort Hood.

          There are shootings in the Islamified suburbs… shootings involving mohammedan internecine gang warfare/ family feuds.

          In the case of a jihad *bombing*, of course, such as the Boston Marathon Bombing, or the Manchester bombing in the UK, a gun is irrelevant. Would a bloke with ‘concealed carry’ have noticed the Boston Bomber placing his backpack.. or thought *anything* of it, if he did? And if he did…how, with the gun, would he have prevented the explosion??

          Ditto the Manchester Bomber. Pray how does a gun in the hands of an average citizen who – in the midst of a noisy crowd – probably *won’t* spot the jihadi with the backpack or even recognise him as a threat, make any difference at all??

          We had a case where a mohammedan got a jerrycan full of petrol, walked into a bank waiting room, and, before anyone realized what he was doing, poured the petrol onto the carpet and set fire to it (and, as it happened, himself). Any ideas as to how much use a gun would have been in *that* scenario?

      • dumbledoresarmy says

        Dec 5, 2017 at 3:01 am

        Australians didn’t *need* to carry guns to the shops, to the church, to pick up the kids from school, to the cinema. Why? why would anyone bother? We didn’t fear our neighbours, in general, because we *knew* our neighbours (we’re a whole lot smaller than the USA). Not until we imported large numbers of Muslims did we face an Enemy Within.

    I’ve been contemplating this very issue for some time – getting armed and prepared for self defense. For those in Australia whom the police warned to “…be ready to combat Islamic state jihadists”….its time to lock and load.

        That is a gross exaggeration, and you know it or ought to know it.

        PS In the absence of mohammedans I personally don’t think there would be ANY necessity for the average citizen, in a modern city, in a western country such as Australia, with reasonable law enforcement in place, to go about with a mindset that views every person around them, all day, every day, as a potential mortal enemy.

          Unfortunately DDY, the illegal aliens that have invaded your country, and the refugees brought in lately belong to a religion that we dare not name. These same, self-appointed holy warriors see you as less than human and have not one bit of remorse in cutting your head off, or that of women and children.

          You can carry on about the days of yore when Aussies, or any other westerner for that matter, did not need to be armed. Those days are long gone. In fact, the law abiding citizens of western Europe and the UK dare not use force to protect themselves from criminals or holy warriors lest they end up in jail themselves. We are nearly at that point in the US. In fact, the Bobbies are now too busy solving internet hate speech crimes to interdict the real terrorists.

          What do the police expect the cleaning crew to do? Sharpen the broom and mop handles? They would go to jail. Spray the attackers with cleaning solutions? They would go to jail. Just what do these talking heads expect the cleaning crew to do with knife, gun, or bomb toting terrorists? What about a large truck, skip loader, or Molotov cocktail?

          It is time for the people of the Western Civilizations to wake up, hold the political leaders responsible for their follies, and combat these terrorists and their state sponsors. Unfortunately, the west is asleep and too many good men and women died in WWI and WW2 in battles over who is king of the hill. This left us short of real leaders that really cared about their homeland and people.

    So Australia answer to the Islamic problem is to have the” little people” who make the min. wage protect the customers at bars and social events ? Why is the west including Australia importing this blight on humanity, Islam these so call refugees with not vetting? Look what is happening in Europe no Christmas fairs because of the expense of protection. Everyone removing all religious symbols from public view because they might offend the” religion of peace” it is like we are living in the movie The Purge. Lock your doors, do not out and celebrate anything with groups of people in public. Stop ringing church bells, going to concerts, having outdoor religious gatherings the boogie men are in town.

        • Carol says

          Dec 5, 2017 at 5:59 pm

          Numerous smaller worldwide attacks have been done for years in concert and by design and this plan has been clearly SPELLED OUT by Islamists. The reason is that larger attacks like 9/11 bring out too much full force and they know they couldn’t handle this. It seems the idea is to wear down the citizenry and cause them to LOSE FAITH IN THEIR GOVERNMENTS and as a result to then begin wearily giving in to Islamic demands without a big fight. This strategy was laid out by now-deceased SHEIKH ABU BAKR-NAJI.
          Here are some links:

          http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2015/11/what-does-isis-hope-to-achieve-with.html

          “The Jihadis Master Plan to Break Us” https://nypost.com/2015/11/15/the-jihadis-master-plan-to-break-us/

          and here is a pdf book by Naji:
          “The Management of Savagery”
          https://azelin.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/abu-bakr-naji-the-management-of-savagery-the-most-critical-stage-through-which-the-umma-will-pass.pdf

          And so it seems that now we must ask “If this is the enemy’s plan of action then what excuses do our governments have for not giving us COMPLETELY DEDICATED SUPPORT?” We need to figure this out quickly. Maybe we’ll need to practice civil disobedience and make grassroot demands asking WHY they are acting like COMPLICIT DOORMATS while the perpetrators and their kin continue to infiltrate and use various forms of jihad. And why are we not DEMANDING our “leaders” show thorough knowledge of the history of Islam and the contents of the Koran?

          Dec 6, 2017 at 7:51 am

          GI and others, the key may be to *think* everything possible through before the absolutely unpredictable as to when, where and how of an attack. Having some idea of available, at least arguably lawful, responses will through early thought be more survivable. Avoiding places where attacks are likely until there is security for the “masses” there is not surrender; it is survival in an environment where helpless people are collected and begging to be killed. I have read that more than 90 percent of mass killing attacks take place in “gun-free” zones, where the attacker can shoot, bomb, knife people like fish in a barrel. I think people who go into those places are indifferent to their own deaths, which plays well with those who wish to kill them.

        Gun ownership requires a permit. For those who a have a gun permit, they are required to keep the firearm in a gun safe. It has to be unloaded at all times, and the ammunition needs to be stored in a separate location in it’s own locked container. When being transported, they must be unloaded, and pistols are required to be kept in a locked container.

        The law is doing everything it can to ensure law abiding citizens are incapable of defending themselves.

          Dec 5, 2017 at 4:39 am

          Make more victims. Victims cry out for government to do something. Government makes more draconian laws that further hamper victims from protecting themselves. Government demands more money for more law enforcement and stiffer penalties. At the same time, government insists that we bring in more “refugees” that insist we turn our countries into the same failed 3rd world hell-holes they fled from.

          Meanwhile, so called leaders and elected officials have 24/7 armed security and live in gated communities at taxpayers’ expense.

    Yesterday I watched Michael Hansens’ (‘The Dane’) documentary “killing Europe” (Amazon prime)….What I’ve suspected and now somewhat confirmed in the documentary is that muslims ALWAYS attack Kaifers/ Kufairs in groups…NEVER do you see or hear about a single muslim attacking a single male….single muslims will and do attack lone females….very young ones at that….

    So, if non-muslins would just band together and protect themselves and more importantly, the fairer sex, then the despicable, cowardly muslim assaults would end overnight…

      There’s a reason why I refer to the Ummah as “The Mohammedan MOB”.

      Always, always, it’s a MOB.

      Therefore, the proper approach is for infidels to start thinking about how to work *together*. (This is perhaps why the EDL arose quite naturally from out of the ranks of the footie fans in the UK!).

      In other words: if you decide to get some martial arts training… find at least two or three like-minded friends or relatives to do it *with* you.

    • Carol says

      Dec 5, 2017 at 6:36 pm

      Drawback: We’ve had good-hearted, well-functioning Western surroundings and unlike the terrorists won’t jump to brutality lightly. Here’s an interesting video however of Paul Golding of EDL boldly confronting a group of muslims and you can see that they are much more inhibited around him especially with cameras going and their mosque in the background:
      Fearless Paul Golding Vs Hordes of Muslims in Denial, 15/9/2017, BritainFirst, Trump, Farage.

      But even if we could get them to hold back indefinitely the problem is the birth rate. They don’t belong here, they cling too rigidly to malignant beliefs. It seems something definitely has to be done about the mindset caused by their malignant religion/creed.

    So, what are they expected to defend themselves and anyone else with? Wet bar towels? Hurling shot glasses? Maybe they can try ramming them with a cleaning cart. The only real solution is for them to vote out the mindless idiots that have disarmed them and preach “tolerance” and “understanding” of this vile infection. Any politician that takes the side of jihadis over citizens (and not citizens of convenience) is no better than the jihadis themselves. This applies to the United States also.

      Boiling water chucked straight in the face would work pretty well. Most kitchens are FULL of stuff that can be used as weapons. All bars, all cafes, have boiling water on tap.

      And … throwing shot glasses isn’t as futile as all that. If someone is shooting, and not shooting directly at *you*, then a barrage of objects huurled at him *will* put him off his aim.

      If the jihadi has a KNIFE rather than a gun then there are plenty of good heavy objects in the average bar that could be used as weapons in a pinch, and brought down good and hard on wrist or head or in theface.. and things that could be used as a *shield* while one was going in to bat. (and again: the key would be to think about how to *rally* people to do this).

      • Guy Forester says

        Dec 5, 2017 at 4:53 am

        A determined foe with a butcher knife or a combat rated knife can close on you in less than 3 seconds from 7 meters and cause some real damage, if not kill you before you can react. You had better be good at hand to hand combat or have something substantial in hand to defeat the attack.

        Plus, you need to be watching for that attack. It is quite difficult to keep situational awareness at a high level for hours on end while dealing with the distractions of your usual job. The attacker only needs to watch for YOU to appear distracted.

        If said jihadi has even a .22 pistol, it is far more deadly at a range beyond a pot of boiling water, as well as a shot glass or bottle. In a crowded bar, just firing rapidly will hit some targets, even if poorly aimed.

        Spend some time in a high crime area A&E department and see what a knife, ice pick, or .22 can do.

        BTW, how many times have you been confronted by an armed (gun or knife) criminal while you were unarmed?

    Dec 4, 2017 at 10:07 am

    But, may be I am wrong, isn’t this a trick too to get rid of the ordinary small people, because if they don’t have weapons, and I am sure, muslims have stacked all weapons already in their mosques a long time ago, the normal small people will get killed, because they don’t have bombs, may be pistols and some guns.Don’t underestimate those killing machines, they thought this out for years and all the changes too, you have to be vigilant all the time and see the change in tactics.

    But I don’t understand police and military either, this is your home country and your own people and you all stand there as a collective and do nothing, it is another tactic from Islam, the last try to put citizens up against each other now, when it comes to a clash, police and military, when it comes to that
    and you do nothing, that will be the end of your country AND YOU.! You make your choice and have to live wit it the rest of your lives, until you come to stand on the other side. You have punished yourself already, God does not, you do that yourself. Anything that rises up in violence will crumble, and the ones who went along with them, crumble with them, and if it is not in this life, it will be in your next.
    You live millions of years, over and over again until you learn. I know certain things, and you are always free to believe it or not, I hope you do, but I do not care if you do or not. Good luck and may your God protect and bless you !!!

      Don’t worry, they don’t need to kill all of us. Just kill enough of us for the majority of the unarmed and cowed populace to demand that the government do something to protect us, even if it means we must give up “some” rights. Once freedom is gone, it will not come back on its own for a long, long time. And it will not be easy or a peaceful return.

      Remember, Hitler made Germany the safest place on earth after disarming the civilian population, and only the Nazi’s had guns. Funny thing, Pol Pot, Mao, and Stalin worked the same way.

    UNREAL….ABSOLUTELY UNREAL. Rather than protect it’s citizens by being pro-active and banning muslims from congregating in groups of any more than “1”, they warn them to protect themselves from what they see as an inevitable attack on it’s own people. Aren’t people allowed to own guns in Australia? If not, aren’t edged weapons allowed? Baseball bats, kitchen knives, home made incendiaries etc. Necessity is the mother of invention. Obviously law enforcement are utterly useless and incompetent. Historically, the end result has always been armed rebellion and/or anarchy. And all because of the useless, gutless, spineless, globalist cowards that have, for some insane reason been voted into power by the very people who are whining and bitching and moaning that they are in danger. They are too stupid and too leftist to see and admit that they are the authors of their own misfortune.

      • Frank Anderson says

        Dec 5, 2017 at 7:08 pm

        Carol, owning any weapon can be a crime in some places. But using a weapon is also a crime in some countries. Please allow me to suggest speaking with your private, personal, and paid attorney instead of one employed by the “state” for advice. The advice a “state paid” attorney, especially a prosecutor, is not shielded by any privacy or confidentiality, and can be used later in a prosecution against you. Too many people want “free” legal advice because they are too cheap to pay for it. The result can be awful.

        For any weapon to be useful, it has to “equalize” the person defending against the person attacking. Going after a bomb-carrying, gun toting, knife wielding jihadi with a box cutter is just about as suicidal as going after one with a rolled up newspaper, which a friend of mine actually suggested. Until an adequate weapon is legally available and can be used lawfully, the government could finish what the attacker started. Whose side are they on? Certainly not ours. It is better to understand this fact, and be downright cowardly in choosing where you go and what you do. Your life is more important than any demonstration you might put on by putting it at risk.

      • PaulM says

        Dec 5, 2017 at 8:00 pm

        I agree with you. Whatever it takes. I have been in 3 situations where my very life was threatened. It is one hell of a wake up call to face the possibility of your own demise. I have learned that without fail, those that are against “carry” or owning any sort of weapon, have never experienced any sort of threat and have never been in danger. When a person is in a kill or be killed situation or their loved ones are, it changes you for life. Wake up Aussies. North America is not like the “wild west” as most people whom have never visited seem to think.

    Poor bartender. I can see it:

    Vicious supplier of overpriced, badly mixed, intoxicating drinks attacked poor, defenseless, mentally disturbed immigrant who suffered work place related problems. All he wanted, and he even shouted it, was an “All Snack bar!” which the Nazi bartender pretended to be “allah ackbar.”! And then he attacked the poor, helpless, protection seeking, cultural enricher. Just because he had a machete, which he obviously needed to open a bag of peanuts! That he hacked a number of “guests” is understandable, he was terrified they might take away his peanuts! “Guests” – we all know what they really were, Islamofu.. Islamophobic, neo-Nazi bigots! They were probably Christians, hiding their crosses!

    The pope has already responded by condemning the actions of the bartender and is praying for hellfire on him. Further, as a gesture of goodwill the pope will travel to Australia and lick the feet of the supposed “attacker” and ask for his forgiveness.

    This newspaper, like ALL OTHERS, demands that the Islamophobic hater will be punished as harshly as the law permits, enables the authorities to do. We will not permit that our society will be divided by such scum.

    Have I got anything wrong? Naaahhhhhh, don’t think so.

    The bloody Police want the minimum wage workers to fight to the death?

    I have never heard anything so patently ridiculous in all my life.

    The fucking Police in this country can take a hike. That’s their job. They need to do it. Not some 19 year old kid working part time making coffee, trying to make ends meet while studying at Uni.

    If anyone asked me to do this, the only way I would agree is if I were given the same weaponry and bodily protections that the Police get to wear. And the same training. AND immunity from prosecution because I don’t trust the Police and the DPP to not turn around and try to charge me, after the fact.

    Do they really think people are going to sacrifice themselves, armed with a mop or broom or a crappy kitchen knife?

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Dec 5, 2017 at 3:26 am

      Mops brooms and kitchen knives?

      Actually, a kitchen knife can be very effective.

      And don’t underestimate the ability to improvise.

      Aussies confronted, early one morning, in their suburb, by a mohammedan with a machete who was hacking at and chasing his terrified wife with intentions of ‘honor’ murdering her, used their great big *wheelie bins* to attack him and fend him off. Because the bin is big enough he can’t reach over it, and very manoeuverable, and *heavy*.

      In Israel, in the past two years, people have used 1/ umbrellas 2/ selfie sticks 3/ shopping trolleys 4/ a *guitar* and 5/ **random items of furniture in a sewing-machine shop**!! – as things with which to wallop and therefore distract, rattle, and even *defeat* knife-wielding allahuakbaris.

      I would rather that we cut straight to the chase and keep push, push, pushing for a ban on Musim immigration, deportation of all non-citizen Muslims (starting with all those already on ‘watch-lists’, and internment of all ‘citizen’ Muslims currently on the watch-list (for efficiency; easier to keep an eye on them if they’re quarantined in one place, away from contact with their potential victims, the general public). It will be harder to get to the point of rejigging the laws to permit stripping of citizenship for deportation of persons currently *holding* citizenship (whether infidel-background *converts*, or ‘cradle Muslims’) but that can be worked on, after politicians see sense about internment.

      And right now, getting a ban on further Muslim *entry* – whether as immigrants, ‘refugees’, ‘tourists’, ‘students’, ‘businesspeople’ or anything else – should be *the* priority of the counter-jihad, whether in Australia or anywhere else in the West.. and in some countries outside the west that were historically non-Islamic but are now experiencing inflows of Muslims.

      • Guy Forester says

        Dec 5, 2017 at 5:14 am

        Unfortunately, DDY, our lovely leaders and courts have made it illegal to “profile” in many countries. That may well include yours. Common sense would tell us to do so, but then common sense is not so common after all.

        BTW, your anecdotes are interesting about some quick thinking people fending off attackers and do have merit. However, there are many examples of well armed Israeli soldiers and police killed by bombs, cars, and knives. I would encourage anyone and everyone that can, to resist any attacker. Resisting has been shown to improve your chances of survival, but remember flight 93. Remember what happened in Nice.

        Dec 5, 2017 at 6:55 pm

        DDA, you are right that ordinary people *can* fight back–and I urge them to do so.

    Some of the more politically-correct Aussies (and Europeans) have been pretty contemptuous of our gun culture & gun rights in the U.S. Now they’re beginning to find themselves in one of those terrifying scenarios in which guns are suddenly very useful.

    I hope they will soon have the sense to repeal their draconian gun bans so that law-abiding citizens have a fighting chance against hyper-violent jihadis looking to murder or rape infidels. That should be one of the first practical steps taken to deal with these savages — until they can be deported.

      I can remember the gun control rallies that occurred in the wake of the Port Arthur massacre. They numbered hundred of thousands in every major city. They were the largest rallies in Australia’s history. Iin parliament, gun control had bi-partisan support, and the government couldn’t pass gun control laws quickly enough. Today there is very little push to bring back the right to bear arms, and no major party supports it.

    I’m sure the jihadis and the local Antifa are armed to the teeth. Time to spit on a law that spits on you. In a ideal world, the law would arm and train staff not to shoot drunks who won’t pay or annoying in-laws. Since they won’t, the citizens will have to arm themselves and live with mistakes.

    You pay taxes (or at least bribes) and the authorities don’t respect or protect you? Stop paying taxes and protect yourselves.

    The very best outcome for now is that shopowners and staff and clean-up crews will just quit. That will hasten Sharia without an actual vote or civil war. Good luck, Australia!

    Bartenders, waiters and cleaners have been warned to ready themselves to fight terrorists in the event of attacks.

    In the lead up to New Year’s Eve celebrations police are telling nightclubs, restaurants, shopping centres and sports grounds across NSW their staff need to be trained to deal with armed terrorists.
    …………………………..

    Is this a f*cking joke?

    When I was first in college, I worked in a series of restaurants and hotels, first as a janitor, then as a desk clerk. The best I could have hoped to do in the case of a terror attack would have been to hide a few guests behind the desk or in an empty room.

    The idea that unskilled minimum-wage service workers are the people to fight off Jihadists is just grotesque.

    Instead of all the usual shouts from some Americans of – “see! this proves everybody must have the right to carry a hidden – and loaded – gun all the time!” – let’s focus on *the* thing that citizens in every western country recently afflicted by a large influx of Muslims needs to be doing.. *communicating with our politicians* and *demanding* that the influx of mohammedans into our countries be stopped… and, as quickly as possible, though probably prudently in *stages* – reversed.

    Persons to contact? Police Minister. Defence Minister. Immigration Minister. And your local Member and state Senator/s.

    Cite this article. State that the thing to do is not to tell people that they must prepare to be attacked by ravening allahuakbaris with guns, or knives, or bombs, or cars or trucks driven at high speed, and anxiously advise them how to try to deal with that, but… to *remove* the damn mohammedans and stop more of them from coming into the *country* at all!!

    Repeat, over and over – Got Muslims? Got Jihad. If there weren’t any Muslims in Australia the police *wouldn’t* have to be giving this sort of advice.

    Stop. Muslim. Immigration.

    Deport. non.citizen. Muslims.

    INTERN EVERY DAMN MOHAMMEDAN ON THE ‘WATCH’ LIST. Pending deportation.

    Raid ALL the known mosques and search them and shut down – and raze to the ground – any in which evidence of any criminal activity was detected.

    I remember a conversation I had a really long time ago about self defense: I asked a friend what would be his response to someone entering the room and attacking me with a firearm. His response was that he would go after him with a rolled up newspaper. What kind of poor, misguided idiot would get into such a fight, unless he never intended to become involved, except as another target? I suggest that not only do we have a right to self-defense, we also have a duty both for ourselves and our “neighbors”. That duty cannot be performed by old, handicapped people unless they have and know how to use adequate weapons. But right now from all the stories I see reported self-defense is itself a criminal offense in most countries. So back to the decision, “I’d rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6!” Good luck snowflakes. From one who has had to be prepared for self-defense, and the defense of others for 50 years.

      Haven’t we seen ENOUGH massacres to have reached some conclusions and no-nonsense solutions? Obviously Leftist/fascists want to use the Religion of Pieces to mop the floor with us and get more votes and money. But once they bankrupt us (the old guard) who will pay for the pensions and protections we’ve earned and what will happen to us then? Why are politicians foolishly lavishing OUR money on violent ingrates?
      WHITE MEN AND NATIONS are a really annoying obstacle to Leftist Utopian dreams and their followers (many who hunger for “free things”) since white males invariably want LESS government and more self-determination. It is no coincidence that immigrants are being sent to white nations. Philosopher Stefan Molyneux discusses this:
