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

Australia: Jailed Muslim says his attack “was done for Islamic reasons…I hope to be rewarded by Allah”

Jun 21, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

No doubt that most learned of imams, Pope Francis, is on his way to New South Wales in order to explain to Bourhan Hraichie that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.”

“NSW inmate says he’ll always support jihad,” AAP, June 21, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A radicalised NSW inmate has told a court he’s sorry for waterboarding and carving an Islamic State slogan into his cellmate’s forehead but not for attacking the former soldier.

A “physical attack would be OK”, Bourhan Hraichie said from the dock in the NSW Supreme Court on Friday.
He was confirming what he wrote in an earlier letter to the judge, which said the attack “was done for Islamic reasons and it is an honourable and praiseworthy act that I hope to be rewarded for by [sic] Allah”.

The now 21-year-old also wrote: “I will always support Jihad as it is part of Islam and I love my brothers from Al Qaida and the Taliban and the other mujahid soldiers”.

He previously pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court to four charges, including doing an act in preparation for a terrorist act and causing grievous bodily harm/wounding to Michael O’Keefe with intent to murder .

He also admitted sending a document threatening death or grievous bodily harm, after he wrote a letter threatening to kill NSW prisons boss Peter Severin if he didn’t stop staff “oppressing” Hraichie, saying “I will personally execute you in public”.

Hraichie was due to be sentenced on April 26, after sentence hearings which included an expert’s opinion that he was not aligned to jihad views, and evidence from his parents saying he was remorseful for his crimes and was moving towards deradicalisation.

But in the meantime, Hraichie wrote a 14-page letter to the judge, stressing it was not a political stunt but so “that my views actions and beliefs may be made absolutely clear”.

The letter led to his lawyers withdrawing from the case and the sentence hearing being re-opened on Friday.
The commonwealth and NSW prosecutors submitted the letter would lead the judge to conclude that Hraichie was not remorseful or contrite, his prospects of rehabilitation are poor and he is likely to reoffend.

In the letter, he denied making “remorseful” comments to his parents, rejected democracy and the laws of Australia, expressed support for jihad and expressed admiration for the killer of NSW police accountant Curtis Cheng and for Osama bin Laden.

“In the matter of Curtis Cheng we saw the Lion of Islam … execute the Slave of Democracy … May Allah forgive him and accept him as a martyr,” he wrote….

    His lawyers withdrew. Will his parents also? Not likely. They raised him up to believe in islam and he learned it well.

    After this soldier for Allah made these statements, he should have been executed within 24 hours. He’s at war with us, and always will be — so why exactly is he being kept alive, at taxpayer expense, putting non-Muslim prisoners in danger, and no doubt proselytizing for Islam to fellow inmates? How does that make sense?

    Common sense, and the will to survive, must be restored to the West. Otherwise, free, civilized societies are doomed. Islam will eat us alive. And a person, or a society, does NOT have to oppose capital punishment in order to be civilized. This is war, and the enemy is within the gates; and we need to start acting appropriately within that context.

      The streets of Sydney NSW are crawling with scum like this. Whole suburbs in SW Sydney are no go zones that are actually enforced by the dhimmi police force. Try and walk down the street in one of them and you will be told that you are going to “create a public disturbance”. Just for trying to walk down the street. If you don’t move on/away you will be arrested for ” failing to comply with a police directive”. The Governments and police forces in Australia are treasonous for pandering to these mohammadians. This a**wipe is a self declared Enemy Combatant who should be given a last meal not legal aid. The apologists for and facilitators of this invasion need to be imprisoned indefinitely as well for the treasonous scum they are. In this day and age there is NO excuse for ignorance about the menace that islam poses to humanity.

    Gee, I wonder what sort of book(s) he read to reach that conclusion… Must have been a “extreme far-right” manual or something – after all, as everyone knows, only fringe “far-right extremists” link islam with jihad…

    Bourhan Hraichie somehow got the impression that retribution is a COMPULSORY Islamic teaching!

    Even though Muslims live in the West benefiting from the blessings of freedom, the rule of law and prosperity, they still bring the Honor-Shame Paradigm with them. Honor is restored to a Muslim through the shedding of blood.

    No kafir is ‘innocent’. All kafirs deserve to be killed only because they reject Mohammed. The citizens of an entire kafir country can be held responsible because they pay taxes to support their military which attacks jihadists overseas. Islam thus considers all civilians legitimate targets for revenge in settling a matter of Islamic honor through retaliation … violent retaliation.

    -K.11.173 “Believers, retaliation is decreed for you in bloodshed.”

    -K.2.178 “O you who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain.”

    – K.5:33 “The reprisal against those who wage war on Allah and His Messenger, and go about the earth corrupting it, is that they should be killed or crucified, or have their alternate hands and feet cut off, or be banished from the land.” Waging war against Allah is rejecting Him.”–Tafsir of Imam al-Bukhari

    -Imam AbdulLatif ibn AbdurRahman rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed and act upon it, and yet not be hostile against the mushrikeen. So anyone who isn’t hostile against the mushrikeen, then it can’t be said that he acts upon Tawheed, nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]

    -(The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land.) `Wage war’ mentioned here means: oppose and contradict, and it includes (opposing) disbelief.”–Tafsir Ibn Kathir “Surat al-Ma’idah [Q 5]”

    That jihadist Muslim described in this above ,top this site exclaimed that he “hopes to be rewarded by Allah” His own words exposes just how terrible he had been astray by the false religion of Islam and Islam’s false teachers, the imams and mullahs by placing his faith and hope in the false god of Islam, 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

    This article is a very strong reminder that in this twenty-first century conflict between the Judeo- Christian West and the Islamic East which also has been termed “The war of Ideas” the Western nations need including the nation of Australia, are sold valid , Truth based ideas for its very foundation and defense that is far superior to something as weak and worthless as just “opinion.”

    What the West needs is wisdom. As the Bible instructs “Wisdom is better than strength.” Ecclesiastes 9:16. [N.K.J.V.] Likewise, this same book of the Bible also teaches in 9:18 “Wisdom is better than weapons of war.” Therefore, wisdom is in strong contrast to opinion. Also greatly opposed to wisdom is folly and deceit. As the Bible in Proverbs 14:8 informs the reader ‘The folly of fools is deceit.” The deception of deceit may be seen, by all those who are willing to see, in the Islamic doctrine of a virgin filled paradise designed specify for the male Muslim jihadist who dies in the jihad for the cause of Islam, in what they so inappropriately call a “martyrdom operation.”

    Many a times a jihadist/Muslim is so very deluded the he actually put on his video recording that after he dies in the jihad as a “martyr” he will then in paradise have a “wedding with virgins.” This firm but blind unquestioning folly is the result of such a man believing in deception of a false doctrine. With Light of the Wisdom of Jesus a belief in a “wedding with virgins.” is the outcome of a person accepting as the “truth” an invalid and false. For Jesus taught “you are mistaken, not knowing the Scripture nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Matthew 22:29,30. A jihadist will after dies and such a murderous way will have a very hard and harsh “reality check” In that “his expectation will perish…” Proverb 11:7. For he will then discover that he was deceived by false doctrine and lie of “a paradise with virgins” and to his shock and horror he will find himself trapped and suffering ,with no hope of escape, in the fires of hell. As the Bible teaches a murder “will not inherit the kingdom of God,” Galatians 5:21. This is sad and tragic but nevertheless it’s the reality of the truth.

    If the jihad-minded Muslim ,Boyurhan Hraichie, Keeps his faith in this Allah which is the false god of Islam , and not turn to the God of the Bible then ,in time , Hraichie will after he dies have a very harsh reality check.

    First, In the Bible it gives the account of the Prophet Elijah declared “If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal be ,then follow him.” First Kings 18:21.[N.K.J.V.] In other words follow one of the other. Not both.

    Second, many people say that the God of the Bible and the god of Islam are one the same. Is the majority always right? That’s not always the case. As an example the Christian pastor and scholar, Michael Youssef, who is also an Arab in his book entitled JESUS, JIHAD AND PEACE on page 69 informs the reader that “The name Allah comes from pre-Islamic times, and it corresponds to the Babylonian mane Bel or Baal. According to the Middle East scholar E.M. Wherry, pre-Islamic Arabs worshiped gods they called Allah. Both pre-Islamic Allah-worship and Baal –worship involved worship of the sun, the moon and the stars, which is why they are called astral religions. The crescent moon, the symbol of pagan moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam. It is printed on flags of many Islamic countries and placed atop minarets and mosques.” Likewise, a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Dr. Daniel Shayesteh, who used to live in the Middle East but now he lives in America . In his book ISLAM AND THE SON OF GOD. On pages 7,8. Reads “Allah is the generic term for God in many Middle –Eastern cultures. Allah is identified as one of the 360 or so idols worshiped by the Arabian people for centuries before Muhammad was born. Many do not know that Allah was the good god of the Arabians. This explains the crescent moon found on minarets and mosques and the flags of Muslim nations. .. .Historic writings also identify Allah with Baal.” It’s also worth mentioning that the Bible condemns such astral religions. As in, for example, Second Kings 23:5.

    Therefore, now in modern times, it may be rightly said “If Yahweh Lord of the Bible , be the one True God follow Him. Yet if Allah the lord of Islam be the one true god then follow him.” The case is very clear cut.

    Bourhan Hraichie said: “I will always support Jihad as it is part of Islam and I love my brothers from Al Qaida and the Taliban and the other mujahid soldiers … and the attack “was done for Islamic reasons and it is an honourable and praiseworthy act that I hope to be rewarded for by Allah”.

    Only when our leaders understand that this behaviour is commanded of all Muslims in the Quran (2:190-193, 2:216, 3:157-158, 4:74, 4:89, 4:95, 8:12, 8:24, 8:39, 8:60, 9:5, 9:14-15, 9:29, 9:38-41, 9:73, 9:111, 9:123, etc), they will understand what motivates these young Muslim men – and what they must do about it to save their countries from destruction. But until they do, the Islamic jihad will continue unabated.

    As Muhammad said, “I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah … then they save their lives and property from me” (Sahih Bukhari 1:2:24).

    There is a rumor that Merkel, Macron, and May, the M & M’s whose brains melted in their mouths, are on their way to explain to Bourhan Hraichie and the Austrailian government that he is “mentally ill” and will become a model citizen after a de-radicalization program. It is rumored that part of the de-radicalization program will consist of carving, “I love unbelivers”, a hundred times into inmates foreheads. If that is not sufficient he will be required to repeat, using the phrase, “I love Austrailians”.

    I think the expression on the face of this “devout” “religious” Muslim says almost everything about Islam’s evil nature. Full of hate, looks like a Mafia gangster or a serial murderer. Then, you look at the expression that a devout Christian of Buddhist has on his or her face. Completely different. I think it says pretty much all that needs to be said about Islam’s nature as compared to other religions.
