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

Australian ‘journalist planned to lure and behead Christians in revenge for NZ massacre

May 2, 2019 3:03 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“A former journalist bought a scimitar from Pakistan before trying to lure Christians to his Canberra home and threatening to kill them in reprisal for the Christchurch massacre, a court has heard.”

Although the “former journalist” James Michael Waugh is described by lay police as “delusional” and “paranoid”, it is too often the case that jihadi motives are hidden behind “mental illness” in cases of attempted or fulfilled jihad attacks. Later, “a psychiatrist joined police at the home and said he had no mental health concerns. Mr Waugh has not been diagnosed with any mental illness.”

The article below makes no case that Waugh–who was arrested at his home in Griffith, Canberra, Australia–was a jihadist, however his modus operandi appears aligned with jihadists. Beheadings are a norm in Islamic doctrine and Waugh was attempting to lure and behead Christians.

Although Sri Lankan Deputy Minister for Defence Ruwan Wijewardene also stated that the church bombings were in “revenge for shootings at two New Zealand mosques on March 15, which killed 50 people”, Wijewardene’s declaration annoyed Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters, and it should. Jihadists look for any and every excuse to murder infidels in their ‘duty’ to kill and subjugate infidels.

The Christchurch murderer Brentan Terrant was all over the map in describing his political leanings. Although mainstream media painted him as “right wing” and although he claimed to be a Trump supporter, he also stated in his manifesto that “the nation with the closest political and social values to my own is the People’s Republic of China,” and that “he could be both right wing and left wing, depending on the definition.” He also called himself an “ecofascist” who promoted “green nationalism” and he actually stated that “he explicitly rejects conservatism, capitalism, individualism and consumerism….. Conservatism is dead, he wrote. Thank God. Now let us bury it and move on to something of worth.”

It serves a socialist and Islamic supremacist agenda to align Terrant with “right-wingers” and “nationalists” and even Christians for that matter of which Terrant was none of the above.

Anyone who understands the mission of the global jihad will do well to understand that jihadists will find any reason, no matter how ludicrous, to justify their jihad murder, aggression and supremacism against infidels. Read Robert Spencer’s book: The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS to learn more.

James Michael Waugh was arrested and denied bail on his mission to lure and behead Christians on fake accusations for the New Zealand, Christchurch massacre.

“Ex-journalist arrested over threats wanted ‘reprisal for Christchurch'”, by Alexandra Back, The Canberra Times (Thanks to The Religion of Peace), April 30, 2019:

A former journalist bought a scimitar from Pakistan before trying to lure Christians to his Canberra home and threatening to kill them in reprisal for the Christchurch massacre, a court has heard.

James Michael Waugh, 28, faced the ACT Magistrates Court on Tuesday where he made a second unsuccessful attempt at bail. A prosecutor, Rae-ann Khazma, said that since his arrest, Mr Waugh had expressed an intention to leave the territory to live in remote western Queensland or central Australia.

He told a doctor that he did not recognise the Australian government and that Australian laws did not apply to him. It was these admissions that persuaded Magistrate Peter Morrison not to free the man from custody. It would be impossible for the court to have confidence Mr Waugh would comply with bail conditions, he said.

Mr Waugh, a former Canberra journalist, was arrested at his home in Griffith, Canberra, on April 2. But police were alerted to his online activities 10 days earlier when a friend of his tipped off the National Security Hotline.

“I have issued threats, along with my name and address, to every coward dog church in Canberra. If you know someone with balls send them along. I’ve bought scimitar and intend to cut their heads off in my front yard as reprisal,” it’s alleged Mr Waugh messaged a group of people.

Police went to the Griffith home that same day and spoke to Mr Waugh. A member of ACT mental health went along and concluded that Mr Waugh was “extremely opinionated” and showing some signs of being delusional and perhaps paranoid……

    Just goofing on you, Christine Douglass-Williams.

    Your post’s title states “massacer.” I can’t find any such word. I did, however, find “massacre.”

      It’s an Aussie way of spelling it.

      Yes, that was a typo Ashley. Not that you’d be greatly concerned with the word’s spelling should some lunatic journalist — and jihadist — be trying to chop your head off with a scimitar.

      As for Crusader’s speculation whether there may be some problem with the water quality in billabongs Down Under, it’s inadvisable to drink from such stagnant water sources at any time. However I doubt that was the cause of the problem in this particular case — the “former journalist” James Michael Waugh has instead imbibed too much from the Holy Koran.

    What a bizarre mentality this guy has. Let’s do a little arithmetic. 51 Muslims were killed in Christchurch. In the same week, what was it 300 Nigerian Christians were slaughtered by Muslims. Then, 250 Christians and other non-Muslims were slaughtered by Muslim terrorists in Sri Lanka. So the recent score is 550 people murdered by Muslims and 51 Muslims killed in Christchurch. It is usually far worse, because attacks like the one in Christchurch are unusual. So, what a buffoon this creep is to be so outraged that Muslims are murdered when so many non-Muslims are constantly being murdered by Muslims. He needs to learn to do a little simple arithmetic so he can get a realistic view of the way the world is.

    • CRUSADER says

      May 2, 2019 at 6:50 pm

      He doesn’t care about Non-Muslims.

      Most of these Jihad-crazed Muslims are psychopaths anyway.

      • mortimer says

        May 4, 2019 at 12:26 pm

        No… you are wrong, most are not psychopaths. You would like to talk to most of the jihadists. They are nice, polite people who have the wrong information. I talk to them.

        • gravenimage says

          May 4, 2019 at 6:52 pm

          Mortimer, you believe that *Jihadists* are “nice, polite people”?

          Buddy, they want to *kill you*.

        • tim gallagher says

          May 5, 2019 at 12:45 am

          Mortimer, you obviously (from your comments here at Jihad Watch) have an extraordinary level of knowledge of Islam, so I’m intrigued by you saying that you talk to them. Do you mean that you actually talk face to face with them and try to persuade them away from their vicious attitudes towards non-Muslims? Or do you mean that you argue with them on internet sites? It seems to be a very dangerous (very courageous) thing to do. I hope you manage to remain safe while carrying out this work. I get what you mean by saying they have the wrong information, as in that they have been brainwashed in the hate filled ideas of Islam. But it has turned them into dangerous, murderous people for non-Muslims like us.

      It’s interesting that muslims apparently have a (righteous) ‘duty’ to kill non-muslims but no such ‘honourable’ consideration is allowed the other way round. That seems strangely reminiscent of the philosophy of the ‘Rodent Control operative’ from Environmental Health Department whose duty it is to eliminate vermin – but ‘vermin’, of course, have no right to eliminate Rodent Control operatives – naturally! No doubt that is the sort of attitude to be expected from the ‘Best of People’ who emulate the ‘Perfect Man’ (‘pbuh’ – and no-one else, apparently!).

        May 3, 2019 at 4:31 am

        Thanks for your comments, CRUSADER and jayell. Yes, to me it is so weird to watch the over the top grief that was expressed over the murder of those Muslims in New Zealand, when there seems to be far less carry on (and I mean by non-Muslims, not just Muslims) over the far greater numbers of non-Muslims who are always being killed in Muslim terrorist attacks, which happen every few days it seems to me. I just can’t feel much for the occasional killing of Muslims when Muslims kill so many more non-Muslims. I feel outrage over the non-Muslims killed by Muslims. That’s why the jerk in this report annoys the hell out of me. He should feel outrage (everyone should) over all the non-Muslims who are always being slaughtered by Muslim terrorists. With many people, the MUslims seem to get a free pass for all these terrorist murders they carry out. From the Muslims, as you both point out, I’m sure their attitude all stems from the garbage that they are the best of people (the worst of people in my opinion) and that non-Muslims are subhuman garbage (all straight out of the Koran).

    Australian ‘journalist’ planned to lure and behead Christians in revenge for NZ massacre
    ………………………..

    Just another Muslim convert who wanted to slaughter his own countrymen for his vicious creed. This had nothing to do with “revenge”–very few Australians supported the unhinged NZ shooter.

    “..Mr Waugh was ‘extremely opinionated’ and showing some signs of being delusional and perhaps paranoid..”

    Does this sound like any Leftist TV “journalists” (and networks) we observed when Trump was elected and, since, their subsequent attempt to foster a “legal tricks” coup?

    This guy doesn’t look like a jihadi to me. More like an overdosed soy-addict. Although he is an ally of jihad, courtesy of the ever-growing red-green axis that today’s Left is cultivating with passion.

    Isis fighters of India they had a detailed project f to make artificial fire and nuclear explosion . The kept the details in a pen drive. Police caught them Just before submitting that project to ISIS headquarter in Iraq, They got selection/offer to ISIS when they were doing MBA with a stipend of 200 usd . The training “ISIS INTEL ONLINE” finished. They passed with good grade and percent. ISIS offered job in their new campus in Korasan province with 1200 usd/ year. Abu Rain was selected as a madrassa teacher. His task was arguing with other imam and prove isis is the true Islam, find the gap between Islam and ISIS. Monitor other collegues are finishing task , correct time. etc…

    On a somewhat unrelated note, Pakistan makes some of the worst knives and swords in the world. They won’t take or hold an edge because they are usually made from pot metal. In this case, his scimitar would most likely have left bruises on his intended victims instead of cutting them. And he is crazy.

    So Christians want to invade countries, bomb, torture, rape, overthrow the governments, evangelize but are shocked that people may hit back?
    Aussie white nationalist Christian terrorists deserve whatevet comes their way.
