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

Australia: Muslim brandishes knife and makes bomb threat, “terrorism was later ruled out”

Feb 3, 2019 12:59 pm By Robert Spencer

Of course. Only greasy Islamophobes could possibly get the idea that a Muslim brandishing a knife and claiming to have a bomb could have anything to do with terrorism.

“The device was found to be ‘inert’, but Queensland Police Commissioner Ian Stewart said its complex appearance ‘indicates just the extraordinary lengths that a person has gone to to create perception of risk, threat and fear.'”

“And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know, whom Allah knows.” (Qur’an 8:60)

“Man Arrested After Brisbane Airport Evacuated Over Bomb Scare,” Agence France-Presse, February 3, 2019:

One of Australia’s busiest international airports was locked down after a man brandished a knife and made a bomb threat at a food court, prompting travellers to flee in panic, officials said Sunday.

Queensland state police said they evacuated Brisbane Airport’s international terminal late Saturday after finding a “suspicious device” when they responded to reports of the 50-year-old man, who spoke Arabic, threatening a woman.

Terrorism was later ruled out as the cause and the man was charged with domestic violence offences, falsely claiming to destroy or damage an aviation facility, and making a hoax bomb threat.

The device was found to be “inert”, but Queensland Police Commissioner Ian Stewart said its complex appearance “indicates just the extraordinary lengths that a person has gone to to create perception of risk, threat and fear”.

The device looked like a small, black safe with wires sticking out of it, according to a photograph released by police….

    Dry run for later jihad attack? Probing to test the airport for vulnerabilities?

      Mortimer,

      One vulnerability that was uncovered was the predictable response of the Queensland state police to rule out terrorism as a cause.

      No longer are domestic violence offenses confined to wife beatings, etc. They now include threats to destroy or damage an aviation facility.

        It was a domestic violence offence. It’s just that Muslims crank up domestic violence to a whole new level. The woman had left him and had orders out to keep him away from her. He approached her, contrary to the orders, then pulled out a knife and the ‘bomb’. It’s part of the rich panoply of ways in which Muslims show us wonderful new ways to go about things, such as having a domestic argument.

      My thoughts exactly. The IRA used a similar tactic in their bombing campaign in the UK.
      My question is,,,How did this turd get through security with all this stuff in what had to be a large bag???

        I think he was in the general admission part of the airport, before the security check that leads to the gate lounges.

    It was clearly terrorism and the flaccid response of the police is terrifying.

    Oh I’m sure he will be judge with mental health issues
    It couldn’t be his religion after all Pres
    Bush told us it’s a religion of peace
    Every time a Muslim attacks the authorities tell us it’s mental health
    Issue therefore Muslim causes mental health problems

    • Terry Gain says

      Feb 3, 2019 at 3:48 pm

      I agree that there is a mental health aspect to every Muslim attack. I wish the authorities weren’t as mentally ill as they clearly are or they would have a clue how to deal with this menace,

      • Christopher Reid says

        The mental health aspect to every muslim attack, is the mental illness of our politicians, law enforcement and media living in their fairytale head of “all you need is love” and there will be world peace. These people know exactly what they are doing.

    So Qld Police Commissioner Ian Stewart joins his mate Victorian Pol. Commissioner Ashton in treating the public like morons. If this was just a domestic, why have the fake bomb? He would have just walked up and stabbed his ex. The police in this country have been treating us like children ever since Capt. Phillip landed in Sydney Cove in 1788. Never trust a Government that dis-arms it’s Citizens OR a Police Force that advocates for that dis-armament. The Rum Corp thugs are alive and well in Australia today. I wonder if they still get a rum ration every morning like they used to. {Have you got a copy of this SAPOL-I’ll say it to your face if you like}

    Wonderful to watch the state police commissioner and the Government Minister squirm and writhe as they avoided any mention of Islam, the guy’s name, the hijab, or anything muslim. They focused on the “feel good”, “proud”… Spineless and pathetic
