Her lawyer isn’t sure whether or not her act was terrorism. Guillaume Ballin said: “It’s more than political or religious ideology to make out the terrorist act charge. The issue here is whether the act done, or alleged to be done by Shoma, is done with the intention of coercing or intimidating the government or intimidating the public or section of the public.”
Of course it was. It was an act of jihad, meant to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). But the Australian authorities, like authorities in the West, are not prepared to acknowledge that any Muslims are pursuing such an agenda, and have made no serious efforts to understand or counter the jihad ideology.
“Accused terrorist ‘practised’ Vic stabbing,” 9 News, May 2, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A Bangladeshi student accused of stabbing her Melbourne homestay host in an act of Islamic State terrorism allegedly practised on a mattress.
Momena Shoma, 24, appeared before Melbourne Magistrates Court via video link on Wednesday, charged with engaging in a terrorist act, after she allegedly stabbed her homestay host at Mill Park on February 9.
“She (allegedly) did the practice run on the mattress with the first family that hosted her and they felt intimidated enough to go to whoever organised it … to say ‘We’re scared, we don’t want her to continue living with us’,” magistrate Charlie Rozencwajg said.
The radicalised student is accused of stabbing her sleeping 56-year-old host in the neck and shoulder.
Her lawyer says it is unclear whether Shoma’s alleged crime constitutes terrorism.
“I’m talking about whether the action of stabbing was done with the intention of intimidating the government or a section of the public,” Guillaume Ballin said….
It’s alleged Ms Shoma made full admissions to police after the stabbing and said she was “acting on behalf of the Caliphate”.
“It’s more than political or religious ideology to make out the terrorist act charge,” Mr Ballin said.
“The issue here is whether the act done, or alleged to be done by Shoma, is done with the intention of coercing or intimidating the government or intimidating the public or section of the public.”
Mr Rozencwajg said the student had allegedly discussed the reasons behind the attack.
It’s also alleged the Bangladeshi student discussed her radicalisation during a police interview and spoke of her motivations immediately after the stabbing.
“Doesn’t she say that she’s responding to a call by (IS leader) Baghdadi to attack the Americans and the British and Australians – in particular the ‘horrible French people’?” Mr Rozencwajg said….

They either follow the law of the land or Sharia law. If they follow Sharia law, they shouldn’t even be in the country, so deport them. Period.
Savvy Kafir says
Deport them all. Let Allah sort them out — when they’re back in the desert, where they and their religion belong.
Savvy Kafir says
Make that “the desert or Bangladesh or wherever they or their parents or grandparents came from — or any Muslim-majority country we can dump them in”.

You know when Angela Merkel opened the flood gates to these barbarians, she said it was the “right thing to do” because she thought they were in some kind of humanitarian disaster. That was an excuse. Merkel is a “no borders” globalist elite. All she did was bring the unconscionable, barbaric acts to the Western world. She was supposed to be protecting her own people, too. I guess she forgot about that. It is a complete waste of money to bring these people here when they DO NOT want to follow our laws and will never pay allegiance to our countries. It’s a waste of money also, to put them and their sometimes 4 wives and numerous children on welfare, and pay to incarcerate any of them when something like this happens and pay for legal defence for them and whatever else they can be afforded in the West. They don’t even want to fit in here. They should be left in the countries they were found in and at the very most, maybe, be given foreign aid or some such thing to help them there. They should not be brought to the West under any circumstances.
Savvy Kafir says
No problem, Jay Boo.
dumbledoresarmy says
Exactly.
This creature is neither an immigrant and – let us be thankful for small mercies – she is NOT a citizen. She is here in Australia on a mere student visa.
I certainly hope that the University or college where she was studying has given her notice that she is *expelled* from her course, and that she will henceforward be persona non grata at *any* Australian educational institution.
I hope that she will be subjected to the maximum punishment set down by law; and then, sentence served – DEPORTED. We owe her absolutely NOTHING, except a jail term (a pity she won’t spend it shovelling pig-dung) and then.. DEPORT, back to Islam-addled Bangladesh where she belongs.
Linda says
Expel her and give her seat to someone who wants to learn something. Punish her and deport her. The West owes her nothing. If retribution were swift, Muslims might think twice about harming Westerners.
gravenimage says
Yes–deport her after her sentence.
elee says
“The Management of Savagery” in action. If you can get a hold of it, read it. The theory is that enough random acts of violent jihad in the free world will eventually make living under Islam preferable. Know what they’re up to.
Matthieu Baudin says
Another enemy combatant. She should be tried in an Australian Military Court.

” ..in particular the ‘horrible French people’?” said the magistrate.
Was the magistrate making a humourously ironic remark? After all, muslima Shoma’s lawyer’s name is Guillaume Ballin.
And could William tell?
BTW, the Australian academic year begins in its Autumn (March…).
She hadn’t even begun the academic year.
She came to stab, not to study.
There’s a photograph of her as a sullen, fulsome-lipped hijabi. Although it’s
a passport photo, I doubt she would make even a wife No. 5.
