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

Australia: Officials praise Muslim for “getting more involved in his religion,” months later he arms jihad murderer

Mar 3, 2018 9:02 am By Robert Spencer

“Raban Alou, 20, helped 15-year-old Farhad Jabar shoot police accountant Mr Cheng outside the New South Wales Police Headquarters in Parramatta on 2 October 2015.” But “a January 2015 report by the Department of Juvenile Justice” actually “praised Alou for ‘getting more involved in his religion, stopping his cannabis use and disassociating himself from his negative peer group.'”

The Department of Juvenile Justice, like authorities all over the West, assumed that Islam is a force for good, and so Alou’s growing more observant in Islam would mean that he would become a good, solid citizen. Authorities all over the West consistently ignore the fact that jihadis are virtually all deeply observant Muslims. There has been a good deal of misinformation about this, with Islamic apologists claiming that they’re actually ignorant of Islam or non-observant, but there is little, if any, evidence to back this claim. A few years ago some Islamic State jihadis ordered some basic books on Islam from Amazon, and that is just about the sole evidence adduced to show that jihadis are not knowledgeable and devout Muslims. On the other side is a mountain of evidence, that the Islamic State mandated hours of Qur’an study every day, and that numerous jihadis became more observant in Islam before they turned to jihad violence. But the willful ignorance is near-universal.

“‘Beheading in France, 25 dead in suicide bomb. LOL’: Chilling texts of the ISIS terrorist who gave Curtis Cheng’s jihadi killer his gun – and he prayed for his ‘soldier of Allah’ in KFC the next day,” by Charlie Moore, Daily Mail Australia, March 1, 2018:

The ISIS terrorist jailed today for arming the jihadi who killed Curtis Cheng sent chilling texts praising terror attacks just weeks before the atrocity, Daily Mail Australia can reveal.

Raban Alou, 20, helped 15-year-old Farhad Jabar shoot police accountant Mr Cheng outside the New South Wales Police Headquarters in Parramatta on 2 October 2015.

Alou was a member of an ISIS supporters’ WhatsApp group where he posted sick messages praising the terror cell’s recent atrocities.

The group was called ‘The Bricks’ and used the ISIS flag as its icon.

On 27 June, 2015, another member the Bricks Forum posted pictures of Australian Defence Force personnel getting of a bus. Alou replied: ‘Omg. May Allah curse them all and destroy them to pieces.’

On 26 June, 2015, after a spate of ISIS atrocities, Alou wrote: ‘Beheading in France, 25 dead in suicide bomb by IS in shia Kuwait mosque and 37 dead at Tunisia beach. It’s going off. Lol.’

On 27 June, 2015, another member of The Bricks posted pictures of Australian Defence Force personnel getting off a bus.

Alou replied: ‘Omg. May Allah curse them all and destroy them to pieces.’

The chilling messages were revealed in the judge’s sentencing report which detailed Alou’s movements before and after the attack, including how he praised Jabad while getting a KFC with his wife the day after Cheng’s murder.

As the pair watched gruesome CCTV footage of the killing while sitting in their car at the drive-thru in Granville, Alou said: ‘Ah brother you’re a soldier, Oh my god Allahu Akbar, that’s beautiful footage bro, that’s beautiful footage.

‘You actually see it all happen, you see where he is last standing, that’s where he drops,’ he added.

His wife Sharna Perger says: ‘Oh ya Allah my heart you know me I was about to cry I was watching it and I was about to cry.

Alou replies: ‘It makes me so happy man, see how he drops? Did you see how much fight he had in him.’…

On the morning of the attack, Alou spoke with his wife in his car. He said: ‘It’s dangerous stuff, it’s got to be done’ and ‘whatever I do [Allah] will accept it’.

After handing Jabad the gun in the women’s prayer room of the mosque to avoid CCTV, he drove past the Police Headquarters in Parramatta, taking a route which he had not taken before, knowing that the attack was about the happen there.

Jabad shot Cheng in the back of the head at point blank at 4.30pm, before police rushed out of their building and gunned him down.

The report reveals how they found a note in the killer’s pocket saying the purpose of the act was to ‘put terror in your hearts’.

It read: ‘oh you disbelievers!!! Know your security means nothing to us. Know your weapons are nothing compared to what we have, our Lord, the all powerful and the all encompassing.

‘Know that you all are being watched 24/7, while you are asleep, while you are asleep, awake, planning But soon by the will of God the Exalted, your nights will turn into nightmares, your days into hell and you planning is nothing to us!!

‘By the will of Allah have come today to put terror in your hearts. And soon the mujahideen will do the same, by the will of Allah.’

Handwriting analysis found the note was written [by] Jabad’s older sister Shadi Mohammad, 21, who played a major part in radicalising him….

The judge criticised a January 2015 report by the Department of Juvenile Justice which praised Alou for ‘getting more involved in his religion, stopping his cannabis use and disassociating himself from his negative peer group’

Justice Peter Johnson wrote: ‘It seems clear that the change that the Offender was undertaking at that time, based upon his religious views, was a process of increasing radicalisation which saw him becoming involved in the commission of a shocking terrorist act on 2 October 2015.’

    It’s a logical conclusion. More involved means “closer” to the text. And closer to the text means jihad. Because – in the end – islam is ALWAYS and ONLY about jihad!

    • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

      Don’t forget sex. Jihadis are fearless cuz they know if they die Jannat is next. The Islam porno heaven. Islam is all about Jihad, but being willing to do Jihad is all about sex. Even scattered or hidden pearls.

      • gravenimage says

        Mar 3, 2018 at 9:17 pm

        And the type of sex is all rape and pedophilia.

      • gravenimage says

        Mar 3, 2018 at 11:04 pm

        I generally agree, Jay Boo–but there is no doubt that sex–both being able to rape Infidels and that eternal bordello in the sky–are attractions to Islam for a certain type of weak-minded men.

    With no STUDY of Islam’s primary source texts WHATSOEVER and with the simple-minded naivety of POLLYANNA, Australia’s Department of Juvenile Justice sweepingly ASSUMED the ‘religion of peace’ would guide Raban Alou into a life of charitable actions based on the Golden Rule. WRONG-O!

    The Golden Rule is NOT included in Islam’s primary source texts. What Islam contains (K.48.29) has been called the BROTHERHOOD RULE … similar to the code of the MOB… be nice to the MOB MEMBERS, but do whatever you want to those outside the MOB … except those who are paying EXTORTION MONEY TO US.

    Western lawyers, police, prosecutors and judges SHOULD ACTUALLY READ the primary source texts of Islam, rather than GUESSING what is in them.

      Western lawyers, police, prosecutors and judges SHOULD ACTUALLY READ the primary source texts of Islam.

      This apparently is impossible. Even the great Yale Harvard genius Prez Dubya didn’t have time to read a 200 page book. He had it as a religion of peace, when it’s not a religion per se, and whatever it is “Islam” means submission, or submit, but not peace. Bad translations are born from intellectual laziness, which in the face of a gun or a knife is intentional.

      • mortimer says

        Mar 3, 2018 at 9:50 am

        APF, exactly correct when you say ‘Islam… not a religion per se… bad translation’.

        Precisely. The word TRANSLATED as ‘religion’ from Arabic is transcribed as ‘DEEN’ or ‘DIN’.

        ‘DEEN’ is a cognate of the Hebrew word ‘DIN’ which is currently used in modern Hebrew to mean a ‘judge’.

        DEEN in Arabic has many nuances: ‘governance, rules, law, justice, government’. MEDINA is Mohammed’s founding capital city of his holy Islamic empire… the Arabic equivalent of Rome.

        Me-din-a means literally the PLACE OF GOVERNANCE (or a capital city where the government is located).

        Deen (or din) refers to the GOVERNMENTAL SYSTEM OF ISLAM … submission or enslavement to Arabs.

        ” He had it as a religion of peace, when it’s not a religion per se”

        Sure it is, unless we want to define ‘Religion’ as “beliefs i do not object to”.

        How are we defining it?

      • Joe says

        You only have to read the first few pages. In the first 15 pages or so, the Koran tells you to hate “unbelievers” about 12 times. I’m not against reading and studying, but the Koran discredits the Islamic “experts” in the first few pages.

      “Western lawyers, police, prosecutors and judges SHOULD ACTUALLY READ the primary source texts of Islam, rather than GUESSING what is in them.” –

      The reading of the islamic canon functions largely as a Rorschach inkblot test. Educated people are well aware of that and in order to present themselves as tolerant, likable and inoffensive to Muslims and themselves and their secular and religious opponents as bigoted, islamophobic etc. they deliberately ignore the repulsive tenor of the sacred texts of Muslims. It’s not that these people don’t or can’t read and most of them are probably even well-meaning.

        Mar 3, 2018 at 9:22 pm

        Yes–there are idiots who have read the Qur’an and seem to think it preaches sweetness and light. How deep is this denial?

        • simpleton1 says

          Mar 4, 2018 at 5:13 am

          Deep deep is their denial, as they are in another ideology drinking KoolAid.

          Yes you are right gravenimage as the islamic system is a quick sand debate.
          Yet there are enough knowledgeable people, that can point this out.

          Unless considering the chronological order of koran with then makes the abrogating verses stand out, Mecca and Medina verses
          Then there are hadith and the weighting of their authoritativeness.

          I know there is none so blind as those who do not want to see.like the Ministry of Juvenile Delinquency that the Judge criticized in the last 2 paragraphs of Robert Spencer’s post.

        I just want to say, Benedict, that that’s a very good way to describe the foul, hate filled content of the Koran, “the repulsive tenor of the sacred texts of Muslims.” It sums it up the tone of the Koran well. gravenimage and simpleton1, there’s not much hope for people who are so dense that they find the Koran is full of sweetness and light even after they’ve read the bloody thing. Talk about refusing to face reality. It must be what Robert Spencer calls “wilful blindness” and “wilful ignorance”. It’s bizarre.

    “DISASSOCIATING HIMSELF from his negative peer group” ???

    This was the legal advice given to Raban Alou.

    Islam has a rule of DISASSOCIATION, but it has nothing to do with crime. AL WALAA WAL BARAA is the COMPULSORY, ‘ESSENTIAL’ Islamic doctrine of ‘ADHERENCE’ to fellow Muslims (involved in jihad) and the DISAVOWAL and DISASSOCIATION from dirty, disbelieving KAFIRS.

    Any Muslim who becomes MORE FAITHFUL AS A MUSLIM, becomes MORE BIGOTED towards DIRTY, DISBELIEVING KUFAAR.

    Muslims are required to HATE dirty kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’ or they will be excluded from Islam’s pornographic paradise.

  4. tim gallagher says

    Mar 3, 2018 at 6:02 pm

    Islam, the only religion still in existence, where becoming more religious and serious about following the religion makes a person a worse and far more dangerous human being. The idiots in Juvenile Justice, of course, wouldn’t have a clue about the nature of Islam. Imbeciles. They probably still buy the crap about it being a religion of peace.

    This foolish mantra of Islam being a peaceful religion must be refuted. I want a Quran and I will show every person I know the verses so they cannot deny it.

        Mar 4, 2018 at 5:20 am

        Mark it up in chronological order,
        Plus note the abrogation verses.

        Google koran at a glance as some others also have further explanations.

        We must never give in. Keep on repeating !
        Try different tacks. Find different angles. Islam is brittle.

        Difficult to know, but our own must learn first.
        Then we can put more pressure on muslims if we can increase in numbers

        Like I have just recently found out that Aisha, young wife of Mohammad, if true being betrothed at 6 and married consummated at 9.
        If considered older as some muslims claim, then she was no virgin ! ! Yep been around the block. So not so good for Mohammad’s image of taking a virgin, and promising virgins in paradise.

        So chipping at islam brittleness, as we can not foretell the blow that shatters it.

    Australia: Officials praise Muslim for “getting more involved in his religion,” months later he arms jihad murderer
    …………………..

    What else did these dhimmi fools expect?

    • simpleton1 says

      Mar 4, 2018 at 5:44 am

      Same in New Zealand, Christchurch,where the court case was so suppressed that no one know exactly what it was about, but the witnesses were very frightened.

      Judge O’Driscoll told the teenager police had contacted a person from the local Muslim community to meet him regularly for counselling.

      “Everyone is really wanting to help and assist you, so you don’t engage in acts of violence and harm innocent members of the community.”

      He released the youth under intensive supervision for two years, under GPS monitoring and living in supervised accommodation.

      The conditions include assessment, counselling and treatment as directed by the probation officer or a psychologist. He will have to live at a particular address and be monitored by the judge with regular reports.

      He has interim name suppression, but that would not be made a permanent order until he successfully completed the supervision sentence. Judge O’Driscoll will get regular monitoring reports on his progress, the first in a month’s time.

      VIOLENCE NOT ‘THE REAL ISLAM’

      The president of the Federation of Islamic Associations, Hazim Arafeh, said from Christchurch that his organisation “completely condemned any violence towards any community and that will never change”.

      The risk of young people not well informed about Islam becoming radicalised online would always be present and the federation fully co-operated with the authorities.

      “If you look at the statistics just about all of them are low lifes who have no family, no achievements and no qualifications. It’s easier to recruit people who are misinformed about Islam.”

      https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/101480988/kiwi-teenager-radicalised-online-planned-mass-killing-in-christchurch-for-allah

      Just look at the “low life” last paragraph.
      I guess that lad is a convert, and nor does that President have much regard for other ethnicity.
      All those supervising departments will now be busy passing the buck if that lad does not become an apostate.

    Didn’t you know? One should strive to be tolerant, nice, and politically correct. Then one can pat oneself on the shoulder and congratulate oneself for being so in tune with the liberal world. Meanwhile, the Muslims take over and the gays sickeningly fondle each other in public. That’s life.

    The Muslim apologist is the real enemy. Get rid of them and the problem will start to subside.
