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

Christmas Islamic Terror Plotters Also Convicted of Mosque Arson

May 13, 2019 11:00 am By Daniel Greenfield

This is one of a number of mosque arsons carried out by Muslims. I have to wonder what percentage of mosque arsons are indeed carried out by Muslims.

The bigger story from this Islamic terror plot in Australia was the Christmas terror attack that was averted and for which the terrorists were convicted last year.

Three men were found guilty of planning to conduct a terror attack in Melbourne’s CBD over the Christmas period in 2016, in a verdict handed down earlier this month, the ABC can reveal.

Abdullah Chaarani, 27, Ahmed Mohamed, 25, and Hamza Abbas, 23, face a possible sentence of life imprisonment for their roles in the plot.

The jury took just over six days to deliver their verdict on November 2, after a lengthy trial that heard the men had purchased machetes as well as metal pipes, light globes and batteries to make explosives, and had tried to obtain guns.

As Australians gathered to celebrate Christmas in Melbourne in 2016, aspiring terrorist Ibrahim Abbas was plotting to kill.

He wanted to run down a police officer, use a machete to chop and kill Australian citizens, and if that plan failed, detonate a suicide vest in the middle of Federation Square.

I was gonna run at them, slice their necks,’ he said.

He talked of ‘chopping to kill’ people with a machete and a backup suicide vest ‘so if police subdue me, I at least have that chance to take someone with me’.

Before that though, they had set fire to a Shiite mosque in the Australian city.

Today, the Supreme Court in Melbourne found the pair and a third man, Hatim Moukhaiber, 30, guilty of terrorism charges for burning down the Shia mosque in Fawkner, in the city’s north, causing $1.5 million damage.

After two days of deliberating, the jury of six men and six women also found Mohamed and Chaarani guilty of an earlier failed attempt to torch the centre on November 25, 2016.

A court order had previously prevented the ABC from revealing the men’s involvement in the Christmas terrorism plot while they were on trial for setting fire to the mosque.

Those court orders are what certain political interests would like to see come to this country.

Now this is arguably a hate crime. It’s just the most commonplace sort of hate crime in Islam. Muslims are far more likely to harm other Muslims over religious differences.

When your theology solves problems through violence, there’s no stopping point.

    Only less than 1% of jihad is violent, but ALL jihad is deceitful. Jihad takes many forums, in this case the jihad of matches. Has anyone of them heard of surveillance cameras?

    There has been a near epidemic of anti-Muslims FAKE HATE CRIMES around the world.

    I wonder why Muslims believe they can trick modern police forces who are using advanced forensic crime analysis???

    They must be very stupid to think the police will be deceived.

      In the countries they originate in, their local, state, and national police forces, intelligence agencies, judiciary, and military all collude, aide, protect, harbor, and agree with them.

    If there is an antisemitic incident, such as a swastika smearing or a Jewish cemetery vandalized, and the culprits unknown, the German police will always count it as Nazi or right-wing-extremist incident. No matter that Jews in Berlin, asked about their personal experience of antisemitic incidents, say 80% are caused by muslims. Even the swastika graffitti on an office of the conservative AfD party that the leftist Antifa did (their message was AfD is the new Nazi) was registered as right-wing.
