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

Australia: Muslim who stabbed his neighbor while screaming “Allahu akbar” pleads not guilty due to mental illness

May 1, 2018 11:25 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“A self-radicalised Sydney man stabbed his neighbour in an Islamic State-inspired attack to avenge US bombings of his ‘brothers and sisters in Iraq.'” Ihsas Khan, who has pleaded not guilty because of mental illness, “was on anti-psychotic medication at the time.”

Western authorities frequently claim that jihadis are mentally ill in an attempt to conceal that they are jihadis. If this jihadi was really on anti-psychotic medication, he demonstrates that mental illness and the jihad doctrine are an explosive match. In Western culture, mentally ill people with violent thoughts are deemed to be in urgent need of corrective treatment to help them and protect society. In the jihad ideology, the murder of infidels is rewarded with martyrdom.

The prosecutor, Peter Neil SC, told the jury Khan repeatedly yelled “Allahu Akbar” as he attacked the then 57-year-old without warning.

Unfortunately, many Westerners are still in denial about the jihad doctrine. Khan’s case, if he is legitimately mentally ill, only shows that non-Muslims in the West are at even greater risk.

“Self-radicalised Sydney man stabbed neighbour to avenge US bombings, court told”, Australian Associated Press, April 30, 2018:

A self-radicalised Sydney man stabbed his neighbour in an Islamic State-inspired attack to avenge US bombings of his “brothers and sisters in Iraq”, a court has been told.

Ihsas Khan pleaded not guilty on Monday to committing a terrorist act and wounding with intent to murder after his neighbour, Wayne Greenhalgh, was stabbed multiple times at a Minto reserve in 2016.

Khan, 24, who had been taking anti-psychotic medication at the time, pleaded not guilty due to mental illness as his supreme court trial got under way in Parramatta.

The prosecutor, Peter Neil SC, told the jury Khan repeatedly yelled “Allahu Akbar” as he attacked the then 57-year-old without warning on Saturday 10 September.

The court heard that Khan had originally planned to attack a stranger on 11 September to mark the anniversary of the 2001 al-Qaida attack on the World Trade Center in New York.

But a day earlier, Khan spotted his victim wearing a T-shirt with an American motif and decided to enact “revenge for what he regarded as injustices for Muslims in the Middle East”, Neil said……

    Well written and good point. There are no delusions here. Mohammed’s book really did tell this guy to go kill kafirs.

    Such rampant disease had at one time an effective albeit crude treatment: amputation of the diseased organ.

    There is nothing ‘mentally ill’ about the ability to understand the subtleties of violent religious doctrine and to act upon it. What the authorities are saying is that being under medication is a license to kill.

    Better defend yourself because you can be pretty sure the “authorities” aren’t going to do so.
    They’re more than likely to be apologists for the killers.

    A couple of nights ago, after the movie on TCM, the channel played an old documentary. The voice-over announced that it was a training film for police in Louisiana in order to help them deal with the mentally ill.

    The announcer made clear that “The mentally ill are *rarely* violent. This point was, and is, important as the police are called to deal with people that other citizens are interacting with, but do not understand how to deal with them and have a good outcome.

    The “mentally ill are rarely violent.” The mentally ill get confused or upset or frightened.
    They don’t plan evil actions, step by step, as moslims do who buy their weapon, or rent their heavy trucks, or strap on bombs.

    This guy is only “mental” because of what he believes about the stone in the desert and the mass-murdering raper of children. He should be made to prove that he didn’t know what he was doing was against the law….what he was doing was wrong…and that he would be arrested for it.

    So many terrorists, so many murderers, getting an easy deal due to this excuse that blackens the reputations of those truly mentally ill.

    Australia: Muslim who murdered his neighbor while screaming “Allahu akbar” pleads not guilty due to mental illness

    Isn’t it funny how these Jihadists are always “mentally ill” in eactly the same way? sarc/off

    They’re ‘always’ mentally ill, huh?

    And since Muslims are grossly overrepresented in the jail system, that just means he’ll be hanging with a bunch of his buddies whilst on the inside – and is going to come out of jail three times as radicalized as he is now.

    Muslim. Criminal. Terrorist. Attempted Murderer. Anti-Psychotic Meds. Unemployed & On Welfare.

    Gee, when you tick off his attribute’s, it’s pretty damn obvious that this pathetic loser is not a valuable contribution to our society and our nation. Either shoot him in the head or kick him out of the country.

    Robert, your heading is incorrect. The victim didn’t die. He survived. He was very seriously injured, but sought refuge in a home hairdressing salon, where the woman who ran the salon let the victim inside and locked the attacker out. Other neighbours, a father and son, then smacked into the attacker with fence palings until the police arrived.

    The victim was incredibly lucky. Had it not been for the combined efforts of his incredibly brave saviours, he would be dead.

      That is true, this case was on the news last night. The man survived because he put his arms up to defend himself, his arms were badly wounded but he is okay now, except for the scars on his arms.

      He also said it was a case of mistaken identity, he was wearing a t shirt which said:

      “World’s Greatest Farter”, & “Farter” was crossed out & replaced by “Father”. The Muslim attacker later told him he wasn’t the man he thought he was. So he was almost killed over a joke t shirt, something about “no fun in Islam” I believe.

      • David M says

        May 1, 2018 at 9:20 pm

        I believe this is the t shirt that nearly got him killed

        David M, I misread the T-shirt when I saw it on the TV news. I heard in a news report somewhere that the attacker thought it had something to do with America. Maybe I misheard that. I thought it was bizarre because it didn’t have the American flag or Statue of Liberty or something like that on it.I thought, well,maybe this attacker truly is completely nuts and so erratic that he could have attacked anyone who had a t-shirt that he imagined related to America. A very dangerous person who shouldn’t be in the country to begin with. In the interview with the victim that I saw on the news, he said his arm is no good at all and he said he was lucky he was 60 years old and not 20 because his arm is never going to be any good. Angry Aussie, I agree with you about how brave his neighbours were. He was very lucky they were so brave.

          May 1, 2018 at 11:47 pm

          Thanks Tim, I missed the part where he said his arm was now permanently damaged. I agree, if it wasn’t this man the Muslim attacked it would have been somebody else, he would have attacked the first person showing something American. Yes, what the hell was he doing in Australia, send him back to his middle eastern hell hole.

      Yep, the neighbours were great. And I think the lady with the hair salon was *Vietnamese* Australian, the people with the fence palings were also non-Islamic immigrant background if I recall correctly, so… it was a ‘pan-infidel’ response that saved the victim’s life.

      I just *love* the guys who waded in with the fence palings.

    It’s obvious that if a person is brought up in an ideology which is always calling for violence and bloodshed, then, if they become mentally ill, maybe go completely insane then they are more likely to commit violent acts. A person brought up in a peaceful environment ( say, for example, a Quaker) who becomes mentally ill is surely less likely to act out violently. Their upbringing counts for a lot. Then again, I suspect that this would be Muslim terrorist murderer was just your typical Muslim terrorist. Just a typical act which is happening all around the world almost every day. As the article above mentions, this totally innocent man was targeted by the Muslim terrorist because he thought he was wearing an American type T-shirt. On last night’s news, an interview with the victim was shown. He pointed out that his T-shirt that day said “World’s greatest dad”. I thought this terrorist’s targeting a guy for wearing a T-shirt he thought was American just showed the psychotic level of anti-Americanism many Muslims seem to have. The same as their psychotic level of anti-Jewish attitudes as well. The neighbours of the victim were extremely brave as was shown in footage shown on the TV news. They saved his life by using palings to keep the Muslim terrorist at bay. Bloody brave people. I’ll echo what the commentator, Andrew Bolt, often says about various migrants and refugees who commit vicious crimes here in Australia, “Who let this would-be murderer into the country?” Certainly a huge mistake.

    I’m often in that suburb and surrounds. The change in the demographics is quite marked. The amount of south Asian Muslims has rapidly increased. Hijabbed women, pregnant, with young kids, men wearing traditional Bengali garb etc. It doesn’t take a Nostradamus to predict the cultural makeup of these sweeping parts of south western Sydney in 10 years.
    Streets becoming dirtier, yards unkept, illegal dumping of rubbish and that’s just the beginning.
    The government has permitted this and is placating these people, realising the importance of their group block voting power.

    I always wonder about the Muslim insane people, like GI says, they all seem to have the same mental illness.
    But I wonder too, how this “insane” people found their way into all our countries and by what way.
    Most insane people could not, because they get confused from time to time and are not with it.
    But these “insanes” are very clever and by now we all know how it works.
    I have watched the video about the cop in Dearborne, the 2 sided people who set out from the beginning what was their goal and it was exactly what I expected 100% TAQIYYA !!!
    And nobody believed it, and that is whom you put into your governments, military, councils and army, navy, and marines, so did Europe. Amazing ! Creepy and sinister ! But it was already for a long time,
    where are you now LEFTISTS/GLOBALISTS/FEMINISTS. NOT A PEEP, TOO AFRAID MAY AND HOPING YOU WILL BE SPARED? ISLAM, THE ULTIMATE EXISTING OF TAQIYYA PEOPLE.

    To me, it is a mental illness to consider people “not guilty” of crimes because of mental illness. Perhaps judges and juries can recommend a less severe punishment for crimes committed while mentally ill, but mentally ill people should still be considered “responsible” for their actions, whether or not they know right from wrong.
