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

Australia: Jihad murderer’s family is “well known and respected within the Somali community in Melbourne”

Nov 11, 2018 9:31 am By Robert Spencer

Police say his family is well known and respected within the Somali community in Melbourne. They attended the Virgin Mary Mosque in Hoppers Crossing, west of Melbourne. Shire Ali most commonly attended prayer in Melbourne’s northern suburbs.”

Are these mosques being investigated? If not, they should be. The tendency among law enforcement officials in the West is to assume that jihadis have been “radicalized” by influences outside the Muslim communities in which they moved and lived. This is an unproven assumption, and one that could have disastrous consequences.

“Bourke Street attacker Hassan Khalif Shire Ali was radicalised and inspired by IS, police say,” by Nino Bucci, ABC.net.au, November 10, 2018:

The man who crashed a car full of gas cylinders in the Melbourne CBD before stabbing three people in a terror attack has been identified as Hassan Khalif Shire Ali.

The 30-year-old was shot in the chest by a police officer and later died in hospital.

Here’s what we know about the Bourke Street attacker.

Who was Shire Ali?

Hassan Khalif Shire Ali was born in 1988. He and his family moved from Somalia to Australia in the 1990s.

Police say his family is well known and respected within the Somali community in Melbourne.

They attended the Virgin Mary Mosque in Hoppers Crossing, west of Melbourne.

Shire Ali most commonly attended prayer in Melbourne’s northern suburbs….

What did police know about him?

Shire Ali was known to intelligence agencies and police.

His passport was cancelled in 2015 when the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) believed he planned to travel to Syria.

Police say he held radical views and had links to the Islamic State (IS) group.

However, Shire Ali was never targeted by a Joint Counter Terrorism Teams (JCTT) investigation because an assessment was made that he did not pose a threat to national security.

He was not actively monitored….

His family members and associates are a key focus of the investigation….

    And why is this a surprise to anyone?? Muslim populations of immigrants do not acclimate to any
    other culture, but work to destroy it. You see it worldwide!! England is losing its soverignity as well as Germany, France, Sweden,Spain, and of course Australia , etc etc. Italy, Hungary and Poland are fighting to protect their identity, their sovereignty and their citizens against Muslim invasions!
    The USA is currently also using due diligence with regard to Muslim immigration! Something that was long overdue!
    God save the world!!

    The Somalians and Pakistanis are the most dangerous of Muslims… While one is mad and violent, the latter is shrewd and cunning and calculative over and above being mad…But both represent the worst in humanity..

      100 percent accurate. They attack women and elderly. (source: first hand information)

    “Jihad murderer’s family is “well known and respected within the Somali community in Melbourne”

    They’re about to be more well known and more respected.

    “Police say his family is well known and respected….”
    Dear Police,
    Violent jihadi shaheed murderers are much respected in muslim communities.
    They have streets and schools named after them.

      Classic Dhimmitude on the part of Nine News, and Taqiyya on the part of the Imam. Don’t believe either of them.

      Someone recently claimed that Hassan’s “brother and first cousin are in jail for planning and preparing for a massive terrorist attack on Federation Square on Christmas Eve.”

      False news?

    Australia: Jihad murderer’s family is “well known and respected within the Somali community in Melbourne”
    …………………….

    And not in spite of this Jihad, as is implied–but likely *because* of it.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Yes. His family will be respected as parents of a ‘shaheed’, given that this Islamothug got killed dead by the Aussie police who – at a certain point – realized that they had to take him down, fast and hard, to prevent him from harming either them or any other person around.

      And his family will now believe that he, as a ‘shaheed’, can get a whole lot of them exempted from the dreaded ‘torments of the grave’.

      • gravenimage says

        Grimly true, DDA.

        They will be a model for other pious Muslims in the community.

    If his psychological illness predisposed him to violence then mental impairment is non-selective. The question we should pose to the Imam is why does a berserk Muslim elect to kill, hurt, incapacitate …non-Muslims? Unfortunately, this site and any other anti-Muslim violence site will tell us that bullying, murder, turbulence…is foreordained and encourage in the Holy Qur’an. Furthermore, Muslim spirituality encourage and applaud such chivalry. In fact, the greatest example ought to be emulated, the Sunnah of the Prophet, Muhammad( and they applaud it by saying SAW or phuh) lived his “virtuous” life to endow such Sunnah to his people. Despite what the Australian\Western authorities want to tell us, that agitated Muslim, lived his life in the glory of his scripture. Please understand this.

    • Carol the 1st says

      Nov 12, 2018 at 11:30 pm

      The “glory” of his scripture? In the real, objective world? And at the ruthless expense of those he deemed less than glorious? Smacks of retardation or being “born yesterday”.

    His family are not respected at all.
    Where did the report originate from?
    Definetly not the police.
    His been under surveillance for three years and has had his passport cancelled.
    His brother and first cousin are in jail for planning a terrorist attach at Federation square on Christmas Eve.
    The only people that may respect this discusting family are other Muslims

    • gravenimage says

      Thanks for that information, Stuart.

    In the past, it was believed by non Muslims that a mosque was a house of prayer in the way that a Christian church, a Jewish synagogue or a Hindu, Buddhist or Sikh temple are. Now we know that this is not the case. A mosque is both a house of prayer (where Muslims can, among other invocations to their deity, call down curses on Jews, Christians and all other non Muslims several times a day) AND a place where political sermons are given. Mosques are political as well as religious institutiions, reflecting the fact that Islam is far more than a religion. It is a totalitarian system of conquest and control. Mosques are dangerous to everyone in the dar al Harb. Everything about Islam is dangerous for non Muslims, We would do well to recognise this.

      My thought exactly! How DARE these Muslimes smear the Holy Virgin Mary!

      • Simone says

        Nov 15, 2018 at 5:43 am

        I was amazed to see that name as well – Virgin Mary Mosque!

      • Leon Degney says

        Nov 18, 2018 at 11:12 pm

        Anthony I don’t believe her to be either holy nor a virgin, but I do find it strange that Muslims would adopt that name for one (or perhaps more) of their mosques.

      Muslims talk about how they “respect” Jesus.

      But the Muslim “Jesus”–really, “prophet Isa”–is *nothing* like the Jesus of the Gospels. He is not the Savior, nor is he a healer or a peacemaker. Instead, his main role is to *murder Christians* in the last days.

    A few months ago the police and government agencies told us that these jihadists were only a small problem. Now the Victorian Police tell us there are over 400 people on the watch list and cannot be monitored. Wishinng that the problem will go away isn’t working. Keep up your good work.
