He “fasted for seven days before the attack,” a clear indication that he saw what he was doing as a holy and righteous act, a fulfillment of his god’s command to “kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 9:5). Authorities likely believe he is mentally ill.
“Saeed Noori, Flinders Street killer driver, ‘did it in the name of Allah,’” Amber Wilson, AAP, February 12, 2019 (thanks to Ben):
An Islamic State sympathiser who mowed down pedestrians in Melbourne’s Flinders Street, killing an elderly grandfather, said he “did it in the name of Allah”, a court has been told.
Saeed Noori drove his mother’s SUV into 16 pedestrians outside Flinders Street Station on December 21, 2017.
He was arrested by off-duty police officer Francis Adams, who had just alighted a tram near the attack, while Noori said “Allah Akbar”.
One of his victims was 83-year-old Antonios “Anton” Crocaris, who later died from head injuries.
Noori later told homicide squad investigators a “voice within” told him to drive into pedestrians, a Supreme Court of Victoria pre-sentence plea hearing was told on Tuesday.
“I’m sorry for the people that I injured but I did it in the name of Allah,” he was quoted as saying, and: “I’ve been tortured by this government for about three-and-a-half years. They got me to a point that it was a voice within — within me ask me to do it.”
Noori, who had fasted for seven days before the attack, also condemned the Australian government and racists for oppressing Muslim people, repeatedly saying he believed that he and other Muslims were targeted by “bullies” at ASIO, the court was told.
He also said he was sympathetic to IS, but didn’t know any members and “I just support my religion.”
His computer and a USB stick were found to contain a number of images from terrorist attacks internationally, videos about IS and other material that an expert said showed he had a “degree of radicalisation”….

“I’m sorry for the people that I injured but I did it in the name if Allah”
NO ! He did it in the name of satan, actually their allah…A or the, real God, would not direct anyone to main or kill innocent people. Satan on the other hand would.
The sooner that the world, and that includes the Muslims, understand that Islam is Satan driven, the sooner Islam will subside.
Terry Gain says
I am okay with describing these Muslims who engage in Jihad as mentally ill, so long as we use the same term to describe people who have no problem with Muslim immigration.

Why do western governments still let these insane ass-holes into the Country?
Everyone with a brain KNOWS they are very dangerous psychopaths!
I think victims families need to sue the crooked Politicians that are responsible for letting these fanatics in!
Maybe a few public executions of the ass-hole jihadists would not hurt either.

True. Good post.

Comments on reports locally in Victoria remind us that at the time, the Premier and the Police Commissioner got on the telly to advise us all that this was ‘not terrorism’.

Noone actually believes them, we know we’re being fed PC pap when they say this, especially when it’s so soon after an incident.
Nonetheless, I had not heard this guy was actually a jihadi until now.

It is shameful that we do not have the death penalty for these bastards.
Execute them,,,after they have been baptized and given the last rights on live tv.

Australians are still going to the beach. The Koran is not a popular book. Globalists have power in Australia. They don’t have to face reality. The rising crime rate is partially hidden unless you live in or near a Muslim area. It is a matter of slowly boiling a frog. Retirees are drinking beer and the indoctrinated masses are clueless. However, veterans are starting to question what is going on. They now understand why nobody welcomed veterans back from Vietnam . . . and they are getting pretty upset. They risked their lives for this?

Australia: Muslim who mowed down pedestrians says “I did it in the name of Allah”
……………………
This is what orthodox Islam teaches its followers.
tim gallagher says
On and on it goes, here in Australia and everywhere else in the world where there are bloodthirsty Muslims. It’s all written clearly in the evil Koran, “Kill the non-believers wherever you find them”. It’s never Buddhists, Christians or Jews carrying out these attacks. It’s Muslims because they are carrying out the evil commands that their evil religion actually says are good. I said a while back that I can’t believe that our dumb politicians still continue to let Muslims into our countries. But, of course, the politicians could say that most Muslims don’t go out and try to kill us. That’s true. But I still think that pretty well all Muslims must have a nasty, hate-filled attitude towards all of us non-Muslims. That nasty, hate-filled attitude is central to islam. It seems to me to be the core of Islam. That’s enough reason for me to believe we need to keep Islam out of all non-Muslim countries. When it comes to Islam, it truly is them or us. We can get along with Buddhists and other groups. Why let this enemy into our countries? Our political leaders and the majority of our populations who still don’t see the need to shut Muslims out are pathetic and dangerous and very, very slow learners..

“Noori … told homicide squad investigators a ‘voice within’ told him to drive into pedestrians….”
They stated, he stated, “ ‘I’m sorry for the people that I injured but I did it in the name of Allah, …. this government….’”
“ ‘…. it was a voice within — within me ask me to do it.’”
“Noori, who had fasted for seven days before the attack … condemned the Australian government ….
“He also said he was sympathetic to IS, but didn’t know any members and ‘I just support my religion.’”
So sad —yielded to, thus spoken to, guided and inspired by the god who counseled, directed, revealed his will and desire to the alleged Arabian “Prophet.” Thus works produced in keeping with the commands and guidance of that god and that “prophet.”
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
The left has no alternative to calling these jihadists “mentally ill,” after all, who but a crazy person would kill for a “religion of peace”? The false narrative has to be maintained, once you start admitting muslims are killing for their religious doctrines it all falls apart. And of course muslims are killing for those doctrines by the thousands every year while millions of others suffer under islam’s brutal oppression. It doesn’t even matter if the jihadist admits he was killing for allah, the left refuses to connect the dots and admit the obvious motivational factors within islam that compel them. It seems to me the truly mentally ill are the leftists who live deluded for islam and muslims, they’re the ones out of touch with reality and it kills. And I’d like to know more about the “torture” and oppression he experienced at the hands of the government. Were cattle prods used on his privates? was he starved against his will? was he beaten mercilessly by bigoted bureaucrats? No, I know that’s not it. More than likely he feels oppressed because all of Australia is not yet under sharia, and his arrogant and intolerant ego is offended by our truths about islam, and our freedoms defy his supremacist longings for allah and make him feel inferior and resentful. This jihadist “mowed down pedestrians” for his god, he said so himself. And that makes sense, because allah commands his followers to kill unbelievers, to be intolerant of them and to not take them as friends. It’s a paradigm hundreds of millions of muslims live for as godly truth, their motivations are as deep and heartfelt for allah as ours are for democracy and freedom. Their violent doctrines and acts are in perfect alignment with their supremacist intentions, there’s nothing mentally ill about it. They are an aggressive people living for an aggressive god and religion. From their POV we are the crazy ones for rejecting islam. It’s time the left start admitting these truths and stop making excuses for these jihad terrorists, and start seeing islam for the enemy it truly is.

The Australians need to cover this bastard in pig blood immediately before they behead him in public. Problem solved.

I hate Islam.

So, Allah supports cowardly murders!
Walter Sieruk says
That Muslim man may well have had ,indeed, vicious run down all those people ‘In the Name of Allah.”
For the God of the Bible is not really Allah the god of Islam. To explain, through the passing of time it has become widely accepted that the word “Allah” is just the Arabic word for God. This started when truth compromising Bible “translators” substituted the word Allah where the word God should have had been uses in the Arabic translation of the Bible. Furthermore, in the glossary in the book ASSASSINS! By Dr. Haha Lung it defines Allah as the “Pre-Islamic Lunar god : the god of Islam. “ Likewise, in the book entitled INSIDE ISLAM by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Reza F. Safa on pages 22, 23 it reads “In pre-Islamic times both Allah –worship and Baal-worship involved the worship of the sun, the moon and the stars which h defines them as astral religions. [Which are condemned in the Bible, Second Kings 23:5] The crescent moon, which was the symbol of moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam.” In conclusion the Islamic god, Allah, is not the God of the Bible.
The words in brackets are my own. In addition other some other books that expose this little known truths are WHO IS THIS ALLAH ? by G..J.O.. Moshay also UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Emir Fethi Caner and THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey . There is also PHILISTINE by Ramon Bennett and ANSWERING JIHAD by Mabeel Qureshi
In addition, related this is the fact that the god of Islam likes it when non-Muslims [Kafirs] die . About the god of Islam ,the television Imam Suliman Satari said “Annihilate the Infidels… Allah count them and kill them, to the last one and don’t leave even one.” Furthermore Imam Abu Hamza Al-Masri said “What makes Allah happy? Allah is happy when Kafiers get killed. [1]
. The above words of these Imams reflect the example of Islam’s prophet and the teachings of the Quran. “Muhammad now fell upon them [the Jews] slew all the men, nine hundred of them…”[2]
Moreover, the Quran reads “When ye encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads, until ye have made great slaughter among them. Verily if Allah pleased, He could take vengeance on them without your assistance, but He commandeth you to fight His Battles.” 47:4
In short, these Imams and their murderous prophet with their bloody Quran show the world what Islam really is. After all, Jesus did teach “by their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:20. [NKJV]
