Australia: Muslim who advocated murder of Jews found not guilty because he’s a paranoid schizophrenic

Sep 26, 2018 11:53 am By Robert Spencer

This man said: “When you come to a Jew, any Jew, even an old one who looks humble, pretending to be humble … strike him in the head, when you strike him in the head, he will not even sneeze, he will die.”

The Qur’an says: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (47:4)

And: “You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers to be the Jews…” (Qur’an 5:82)

But of course, what else could this be but more of the global outbreak of mental illness?

“Man who encouraged killing of Jewish people on Facebook suffered paranoid schizophrenia,” by Rebecca Opie, ABC.net.au, September 24, 2018 (thanks to Jill):

An Adelaide man who posted videos on Facebook encouraging the killing of Jewish people has been found not guilty because he was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia at the time.

The 52-year-old man from Flinders Park in Adelaide’s west, whose name was suppressed, became the first Australian to be charged with advocating terrorism in December 2016….

The charges related to four videos the man posted on Facebook between July 2015 and January 2016, where he encouraged others to kill Israeli soldiers and Jewish people.

During the videos he speaks in Arabic, referring to himself as a commander with Hezbollah and can be seen brandishing a large kitchen knife and a tomahawk.

In one of the videos, which had been viewed more than 19,000 times, he calls for Jewish people to be attacked with knives.

“When you come to a Jew, any Jew, even an old one who looks humble, pretending to be humble … strike him in the head, when you strike him in the head, he will not even sneeze, he will die.”

In another video he calls for the death of the president of the Palestinian National Authority, Mahmoud Abbas.

Police seized the knife, tomahawk and a chainsaw from his home.

The jury was told there was no dispute between the prosecution and defence that the man advocated terrorism and they agreed he was mentally impaired at the time….

Defence lawyer Edward Jolly said the two forensic psychiatrists who assessed his client agreed he was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia at the time….

    Well of course he’s “mentally ill”, he’s a bloody Muslim. It goes with the territory. However that doesn’t mean he should escape punishment – quite the contrary. We need a law along the lines of Criminal while Muslim – where Muslims receive a penalty of three, four or five times what a non-Muslim would get for the same crime, with none of the mitigating circumstances that supposed “mental illness” bring afford the perpetrator. You might be surprised at the sudden effect that such a law would be likely to have on the global outbreak of “mental illness.”

      Great point. Lot’s of things Islam does are clearly insane (not the legal definition, the social/moral usage). Female genutasl mutilation, honor killings of wives and daughters, murdering Jews snd Christians, throwing gay people off the roof, etc.

    Of course he’s paranoid schizophrenic. Islam made him paranoid schizophrenic! That is EXACTLY what Islam is, PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA!!

    Mental illness yet again in the Muslim population causing hate, murder and Jihad.

    Being mentally ill is NOT a reason to find this individual not guilty, it is merely a mitigating factor that should be taken into account when sentencing occurs.

    In Canada we had an Asian man who killed, decapitated and ate a young man while travelling on a greyhound bus. He was found guilty of the offence but wasn’t imprisoned because he was determined to be not criminally responsible at the time of the act. He was sent to a secure mental facility.

    To find a person not guilty because of mental incapacity is insane as this guy will continue to be a threat to public safety. No matter if he gets treatment.

    Being “paranoid schizophrenic” is a very prerequisite of believing in anything the most (in)famous paranoid schizophrenic originator of Islam claimed. No wonder it is now used as an excuse to let “believers” off the hook and walk free, each and every time.

    The Bible says there is a time coming when people will chose to believe a strong delusion.
    They are getting in some practice right now.

      The Bible predicts,in the parable of the Net{Matthew 13 v 49-50)God’s Justice and the fate of the enemies of Christ in the NT{2 thessalonians 1 v 5-10.note v 8)
      after the rise,short reign and{sudden} fall of the one referred to in 2 thessalonians 2.

      The apparent decline in Christianity was predicted by Jesus in Matthew 24 v 10-14:it is necessary to separate the wheat from the chaff,the authentic from the fake.So the forces of antiChrist.the islamic terrorists,the leftards are not on the winning side{although at this point in time they think they will destroy Christianity}But Biblical prophecy,referring to the Future guarantees the survival of Christianity which will be purified through these treacherous times.The outcome has already been established in the Bible{a book remember that allah claims he wrote see koran 3:3}

      If I was Iranian I’d stay well away from Israel{OT… JOEL 3}:Israel may look like an easy target but it will be the anvil on which the hammer of the Actual God’s justice will fall on those who wish to destroy it.In fact Biblical prophecy about Israel is quite clear.muslims don’t understand that their allah the deceiver{k3:54} is NOT the God of Israel:
      David will not be defeated by goliath:Why do you think Israel still exists?

      muslims don’t get that …despite the fact that allah claims he wrote the Bible{koran 3:3]

      Here’s a strange thing:in koran 5 v 46,allah says “WE bestowed on Jesus the Gospel wherein are guidance and a light,confirming that which was revealed before it in the Torah”

      So allah {or WE} claims he gave the Gospel to Jesus……but the Gospel,written by the Apostles etc was written AFTER Jesus Christ had died!

      allah also says in koran 5 v 48 that “whoso judgeth not by that which allah hath revealed:such are evil livers”

      And “that which allah revealed”?according to k3:3 and k5:46….that would be the GOSPEL.

    I’m not sure about the ‘paranoid schizophrenia’, but I am certainly convinced that he was suffering from Islam at the time he committed the offences.

    Australia: Muslim who advocated murder of Jews found not guilty because he’s a paranoid schizophrenic
    ………………….

    Mainstream Islam.

      Not “Australia” but the State of South Australia.

      Had he been tried in the New South Wales State jurisdiction a trial would have been held under the “Mental Health Criminal Procedure Act” of NSW and if it were determined that the suspect was guilty of the crime he would have received a limited term sentence” for the actual crime.

      Every Australian State has different laws to deal with this kind of case.

    From a physician’s viewpoint,

    For a moment, let’s assume that the behavior of this 52-year-old Muslim was actually due to paranoid schizophrenia, among the most serious mental health disorders.

    What was the initial psychiatric treatment?

    Standard of care, of course, would be emergency involuntary admission to a psychiatric ward if the patient were deemed an immediate danger to himself or others. It appears, in this case, that he did pose a danger.

    What criteria would the psychiatric medical staff use as a “test of adequate control” before release from the clinic? What medications / psychotherapy would he be prescribed? What would be the follow-up care regimen?

    Most importantly, if it was determined by the psychiatric medical staff that the Islam ideology exacerbated his underlying mental illness, would they recommend leaving the religion? If not, why not?

    This familiar old debate about whether he, and endless other Muslims so intent on murdering, raping, etc, non-Muslims, is bad or mad, or maybe both. I just think pretty well all Muslims have a bad attitude towards non-Muslims and therefore need to be kept out of all non-Muslim countries. Many may not actually attempt to do violence, but they have a bad, hate-filled attitude towards non-Muslims. That’s basic Islam. Maybe this particular Muslim is a paranoid schizophrenic, but, if so, then, because Islam encourages murderous violence, then a schizophrenic Muslim is certainly more likely to be a violent schizophrenic than a non-Muslim schizophrenic would be. You look at the basic texts of Islam, you think about the hate-filled poison towards non-Muslims that Muslims imbibe in their homes and in their mosques and schools, and you have a toxic mix. Mainstream Islam has a nasty, toxic attitude towards non-Muslims. Just keep Muslims out of all non-Muslim countries and prevent all these neverending problems Muslims cause. OK, not all Muslims have this bad attitude, but too many do. It’s certainly not Buddhists or Christians that are always out to do this harm to us all. The strife Muslims bring just never seems to end. It seems like there’ll be a report involving some would be violent Muslim every couple of weeks here in Australia, sometimes more often than that. The incidents just go on and on. Non-Muslim migrant groups do not cause such trouble. Muslim migration is definitely a negative for any non-Muslim country. Our politicians should know this by now. Politicians everywhere in the world should know this by now.

    Regardless, in a certain way, this is only reinforcing the image of Muslims as MAD VIOLENT people. And they have only themselves to blame for that…many of the thousands of the self goals that Islam is kicking for itself.

    I wonder if intermarriage could explain why so many jihad minded men are paranoid schizophrenic?

    Why would a person with such a mental state target Jews specifically!
