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

Australia: Muslim who plotted to kill cops argues with judge who said he had a “distorted understanding of Islam”

Aug 3, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

“Bourhan Hraichie, 22, cheered as he was sentenced in the NSW Supreme Court. He interjected at various points, including when Justice Peter Johnson said his beliefs were based on a ‘distorted understanding of Islam.'”

Peter Johnson is the latest in a long line of judges who have lectured Islamic jihadis about how they’re misunderstanding their peaceful, cuddly religion. Peter Johnson, of course, doesn’t know the first foggiest thing about Islam, but he thinks he does, because many people he trusts and respects have assured him that it’s a Religion of Peace, and he has also been taught that the only people who think otherwise are racist, bigoted “Islamophobes.” Bourhan Hraichie is no racist, bigoted “Islamophobe,” but clearly the poor lamb has been improperly instructed in his religion. If only Peter Johnson had been there in the mosque to teach him the true Islam.

Note also Hraichie’s refusal to acknowledge the authority of the Australian court in any way. We often see this with jihadis also, as they maintain that their allegiance is only to Sharia, not to “manmade law.” That Sharia is also manmade doesn’t occur to them.

“ISIS supporter who carved slogan in cellmate’s head jailed for 34 years,” by Kelly Fedor, 9 News, August 2, 2019:

A man who plotted to kill police officers, threatened to execute the Corrective Services Commissioner and carved “eye for an eye” into a cellmate’s forehead, has been jailed for a maximum of 34 years.

Bourhan Hraichie, 22, cheered as he was sentenced in the NSW Supreme Court.

He interjected at various points, including when Justice Peter Johnson said his beliefs were based on a “distorted understanding of Islam”.

It was 2015 when Hraichie spoke to an associate about the plan to have two or three individuals shoot police officers on the steps of Bankstown Police Station and film it on a GoPro camera.
The court heard he had hidden guns as well as knives in preparation.

He had been rearrested for breaching his parole when he attacked his cellmate Michael O’Keefe, a former soldier, in an attack Justice Peter Johnson called “ferocious and terrifying”.
Hraichie punched him, attempted to “waterboard” him and carved “E4E” into his forehead.

He later claimed Mr O’Keefe had disrespected his religion.

The extremist had been transferred to Goulburn Supermax when he wrote to then Corrective Services Commissioner and said he’d turned the soldier “into an Islamic State sketchpad”.

“If you do not stop your staff from oppressing me, then I will personally execute you in public.”

Justice Johnson said his interview with police was “self-congratulatory” and “devoid of any contrition”.

“The offender appeared to be boasting about his exploits.”

He told officers he looked forward to beheading someone because of the feeling it would give him….

Justice Johnson dismissed any claims he was sorry referring to a letter he wrote to the court this year.

In that document Hraichie referred to democracy as a “man-made law which I reject”.

On the subject of not standing for the Judge he said the reason is simple.

“You are a representative of democracy, a Taghut… nor will I acknowledge, respect, accept or submit to this disbeliever.”…

He will be eligible for parole in 2047.

Oh good.

    The grand imam of the Australian court Sheikh Justice Peter Johnson has spoken ex cathedra about Islam.

    But what do REAL sheikhs say about the jihad doctrine? They say that it is authentic, original Islam.

    “Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar:
    I heard the Apostle of Allah say: When you enter into the inah transaction (become businessmen), hold the tails of oxen (become cattlemen), are pleased with agriculture (become farmers), and give up CONDUCTING JIHAD. Allah will make disgrace prevail over you, and will not withdraw it until you return to your ORIGINAL RELIGION.” – Sunan Abu Dawud Book 23, Number 3455

    Conducting jihad is the ‘original religion’ of Mohammed. Mohammed is the authority on Islam.

    Apparently, Justice Peter Johnson hasn’t read the Sira (official bio of Mohammed), the hadiths, Koran (164 jihad verses) or the canonical commentaries (tafsirs) or Sharia law concerning jihad.

    MESSAGE FOR JUSTICE JOHNSON: Here is how Sharia law experts in Saudi Arabia have defined jihad:

    “Jihad is holy fighting in Allah’s Cause with full force of numbers and weaponry. It is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars. By Jihad Islam is established, Allah’s Word is made superior (which means only Allah has the right to be worshiped), and Islam is propagated. By abandoning Jihad Islam is destroyed and Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim. He who tries to escape from this duty, or does not fulfill this duty, dies as a hypocrite.” – footnotes on p.39, ‘The Noble Koran’, published by King Fahd Complex for Publication of the Quran, Madinah, KSA.

    “[Judge] Peter Johnson, of course, doesn’t know the first foggiest thing about Islam, but he thinks he does”

    Here’s Judge Johnson as a Western Leader,

    MUSLIM TERRORIST: “We did this because our Islamic holy texts exhort us to do it.”
    WESTERN LEADERS: “No, you didn’t.”
    MUSLIM TERRORIST: “Wait, what…yes, we did.”
    WESTERN LEADERS: “No, this has nothing to do with the Muslim religion. You guys are just using religion as a front for social and geopolitical reasons.”
    MUSLIM TERRORIST: “WHAT? Did you even read our official statement? We provide explicit Quranic justification and documentation. This IS jihad: a holy crusade against pagans, blasphemers, and disbelievers.”
    WESTERN LEADERS: “No, this is definitely NOT a Muslim thing. You guys are not true Muslims, and you defame a great religion by saying so.”
    MUSLIM TERRORIST: “HUH? Who are you to tell us we’re not true Muslims? Islam is literally at the core of everything we do, and we have implemented the truest, most literal and honest interpretation of its founding texts. It is our very reason for being.”
    WESTERN LEADERS: Nope, we created you. It’s our fault. We installed a social and economic system that alienates and disenfranchises you, and that’s why you did this. We are sorry.”
    MUSLIM TERRORIST: “What? Why are you apologizing? We just murdered your citizens mercilessly in the streets. We targeted unwitting civilians – ‘disenfranchisement’ doesn’t even enter into it.”
    WESTERN LEADERS: “Listen it’s our fault. We don’t blame you for feeling unwelcome and lashing out.”
    MUSLIM TERRORIST: Seriously, stop taking credit for this. We worked really hard to pull this off, and we’re not going to let you take it away from us.”
    WESTERN LEADERS: “No way. We nourished your extremism and therefore we must accept full blame.
    MUSLIM TERRORIST: SHEESH…ALLAH ABOVE! How many more of your people do we have to slaughter around here to finally get our message across that we are doing this in the name of Islam?”

      I think that’s absolutely brilliant and skewers the ridiculous crap we get from so many of our western leaders and media and judicial types, none of whom seem to have the slightest clue about the content of evil islam. I think it is excellent satire.

    Islam is easy to understand Sura 9.29

    • mortimer says

      Aug 3, 2019 at 9:47 am

      9:29 is the pivotal verse or ‘game-changer’ by which Mohammed turned Islam into an aggressive, predatory Death Cult living off of the plunder or anyone who resisted Islam.

    Aug 3, 2019 at 9:32 am

    Let’s pretend for a moment that he was a devout Pastafarian (having been touched by his noodly appendage).

    What role should religion play in any violent act against another?

    So why is he arguing about a flawed understanding of a religion leading to his acts? It is still a violent act and he is effectively admitting guilt. Why waste time on any further discussion?

    Video for Justice Johnson about Islamic “DUALISM” … i.e. Islam presents 2 teachings that contradict one another, but both are from Allah and both are correct … Islam is peaceful and warlike at the same time … both aspects are true Islam depending on which aspect is opportune.

      His jail sentence is bad enough. The Nazi high command got 20 years and some were hanged. Murdering terrorists should imho be hanged. Fortunately, his plot was caught by police. Hraichie is a true jihadist and yet no one will do anything to dissuade him from those beliefs. I hope he is segregated so he does not infect other prisoners with jihad teachings.

    I tend to lose track of all these different would be Muslim terrorists and where their trials and sentencings are up to. As I’m in Australia, this vile creature’s sentencing was on the TV news a few days back. It said that he’d carved something into the forehead of another prisoner, and said that the victim had been a soldier (don’t know if it’s true or not) but I thought, why the hell would they put this Jihadi type into a cell with a former soldier. I heard something interesting today on “Outsiders”, a program on Sky TV news out here in Australia. “Outsiders” has three conservative presenters. They are Rowan Dean, originally from England, James Morrow, originally from the USA, and Rita Panahi, who was born in Iran, lived in the USA and now here in Australia. They are smart and entertaining commentators. Rita Panahi said that there have been a couple of surveys done, one by IPSOS and another by the Sydney Morning Herald (a very left wing newspaper) and she said that they’d found that 50% of Australians wanted an end to Muslim migration. I would have thought that there’d still be only, say, 30% or so of Australians who would want an end to Muslim migration. I have written to politicians for many years calling for an end to Muslim migration, so I was thrilled to hear the survey results. I’m pretty sure that what Rita Panahi said would be true. She’d get it right before broadcasting such information. I hadn’t heard of the surveys, but I was pleasantly surprised at the result of these surveys, according to Rita Panahi.

    Justice Johnson may know nothing of Islam but at least he knows terrorists should not be given a discount on their sentence for being inept and incredibly stupid. Let’s hope this is a precedent.
