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

New Zealand: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” and passages from the Qur’an rams police car, attacks cop with axe

Sep 23, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“While Taylor told officers he was not a practising Muslim, the imam at Mataura Masjid Islamic Centre, Zamberi Mat Yunus, said the defendant had attended prayer two or three times.”

Have the teachings and activities of the Mataura Masjid Islamic Centre been investigated? Why not? Are authorities too busy working up an explanation of how Ruairi Kern Taylor is mentally ill?

“Man admits ramming police car, axe attack,” by Rob Kidd, Otago Daily Times, September 20, 2019 (thanks to the Geller Report):

A man has admitted ramming a police car and chasing an officer down the highway on foot with a tomahawk while yelling “Allahu Akbar”.

After giving up the pursuit, Ruairi Kern Taylor (24), of Gore, returned to the empty police car, took to it with the weapon – causing more than $30,000 of damage – and was later found wearing a police hat and jacket while yelling excerpts from the Koran.

The man appeared in the Dunedin District Court yesterday, where he pleaded guilty to two counts of assault with a weapon and one of intentional damage….

First, Taylor went to a hardware store in Gore and bought a tomahawk, then went to his home nearby to retrieve a sheathed dive knife which he strapped to his leg.

He set off north in his Subaru Forester and when he saw a police patrol car, he U-turned to follow it.

The officer turned into the local station and Taylor drove off.

Several hours later, Constable Steven Treloar had pulled a motorist over for a routine check on State Highway1 in Allanton.

When Taylor saw the blue and red lights in the distance, he turned up the “religious music” playing on his stereo and slammed his vehicle into the back of the stationary police car.

Const Treloar’s head snapped back and rebounded into the windscreen as he was shunted into the vehicle he had pulled over.

Within seconds, Taylor had smashed his window with the axe.

The officer called for back-up before climbing over the central console and escaping from the passenger door.

As Const Treloar ran off, Taylor pursued him “with the tomahawk raised about his head for approximately 40 metres before giving up”.

“Throughout the attack the defendant was yelling `Allahu Akbar’,” a police summary said.

Const Treloar was whisked away from the scene by a member of the public while Taylor returned to the abandoned police car.

He smashed both headlights and two side windows and made various holes and dents in the car, causing $31,7420 of damage.

The defendant, the court heard, then rummaged around in the car, donned police garments and began yelling religious passages….

While Taylor told officers he was not a practising Muslim, the imam at Mataura Masjid Islamic Centre, Zamberi Mat Yunus, said the defendant had attended prayer two or three times.

He believed Taylor had recently moved from the North Island and was disappointed to hear about the violent incident.

After being arrested, the defendant told police he had wanted them to shoot him.

“He stated he wasn’t trying to injure the victim and that if he wanted to he could have,” the summary said….

      A muslim music CD featuring a Yusuf islam{cat stevens},Sinead shuhada O’Connor compilation,Bin laden’s messages to the US,the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Orchestra with their best selling iranian hit single “Marg ba Amrika”{no musical instruments alas:allah hates musical instruments}…?

      And yelling “excerpts from the koran”?

      What,like all those non-violent,antichristian,antisemitic bits?

      He sounds exactly like one of those converts to islam:Entitled to behave abominably,..hey look!It’s in the koran so it must be OK.

        The whole matter will disappear as he obviously possesses the fourteen hundred year old decease called, ISLAM. No one will hear any more about this unless it is hear at Jihad Watch.

      Probably not Christian rock…

    The jihadist or jihadists incident or attacks in Western nations or in this recent specific case of the Island nation of New Zealand and before this is Dusseldorf ,Germany, or be the Muslim terrorists in the other cities of the different nations of Europe as Strasbourg, Stockholm, London, Manchester ,Brussels , Paris, Nice, Berlin ,Madrid. Those jihad-minded Muslim terrorists who engage in those vicious Islamic terror attacks cannot be and will not be reasoned with. They will not respond to either logic or reason. They aren’t interested, at all, in reason or logic. So they have to be dealt with by a strong force of might. Either by the police or the military.

    For the violent Muslims who are jihadists will only understand the language violent force since that their mindset because the jihadists are men of deadly violence . Of course they are that way because of the religion which is Islam. As Islam’s “holy book” the Qu ‘ran instructs in 47:4. “Whenever you encounter the disbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…”

    Such vicious and ruthless instruction found in the Qu ‘ran reflects the malice-filled words spoken by the Muslim cleric.

    The people NZ should sleep well, rest assured they are safe, now that their PM sort fit to confiscate their guns, because the white race is so dangerous.

    • mortimer says

      Sep 23, 2019 at 5:28 pm

      Yes, the white race is dangerous if they are JIHADISTS who believe in imitating Mohammed the terrorist.

    Religious music?
    It is a pity he plead guilty, as it would have been interesting to have that played in court. 🙂

    I wonder if that music started with something like what Prime Minister Ardern’s call was. in getting the adhan called through out NZ. in Parliament, and across the land on radio and tv.
    A cd or podcast sermon from some imam?
    Did it have koranic quotes? mixed with hadith quotes?

    Prime Minister Ardern is trying to develop the “Christchurch Call” with other government leaders and tech industries to have immediate censor ship by facebook, snapchat, twitter, google, youtube etc.. on what they will class “hate speech” to control through being politically correct.

    So what little has come out on this case will remain suppressed, and censored as like Brenton Tarrant’s “manifesto” in NZ.
    The Ardern’s administration brings on more laws about owning firearms, criminalizing licensed firearms owners, to force them to hand them in to the government.

    • NZBloke says

      Sep 25, 2019 at 12:52 pm

      Ardern is quickly losing her shine here in NZ – not that many of us thought she had any to begin with. Unfortunately our opposition are nearly as incompetent so heaven forbid we might get a second round of her and her lackeys..

      It says a lot about our media when the first I read about this incident is on a foreign site.,, and I follow our news pretty closely.

      Ardern’s gun buy-back is a woeful failure, just like her government, which has proven itself to be the worst in NZ history in my opinion anyway. Only an estimated 15% of semi-autos have been handed in, and I suspect the numbers won’t get a lot better. Many owners will give Ms Ardern the finger and justifiably so.

      I wrote to her questioning when she was going to ban the Quran – what with it being a violent supremacist’s manifesto and all. Haven’t heard back. Funny that.

      • gravenimage says

        Sep 25, 2019 at 9:32 pm

        Thanks for that background, NZBloke.

    Sep 23, 2019 at 5:19 pm

    First clue: Ruairi Kern Taylor shouted out VERSES FROM THE KORAN.

    Has any police detective in New Zealand actually read and STUDIED the Koran, the Sira, the hadiths, the JIHAD DOCTRINE, the KAFIR DOCTRINE, the NEAR-ENEMY DOCTRINE … ???

    Or are New Zealand police as ignorant of Islamic teachings as a novice in a nunnery?

    • simpleton1 says

      Sep 23, 2019 at 5:56 pm

      Prime Minister Ardern had the “adhan” called in Parliament, and many radio stations and tv complied across the land.

      The police are in full support in proposing, creating and managing the confiscating gun-ban laws and in their collection events, so that communities can feel safer.

      In New Zealand the threat of up to 14 years jail, for possessing, sharing or distributing Brenton Tarrant’s manifesto, and some waited months in jail for their court case to come up,

      So why would the police read the Koran, the Sira, the hadiths, the JIHAD DOCTRINE, the KAFIR DOCTRINE be read, when it is a just a teeny weeny bit whiffy to understand.

      So like wise, “Islam is right about woman” and therefore all else too.

    • JMB says

      Sep 23, 2019 at 6:23 pm

      It should also be noted that NZ police do not generally carry firearms. Perhaps that small nation’s era of innocence is fast drawing to an end.

  7. mortimer says

    Sep 23, 2019 at 5:21 pm

    Hope that Const Treloar’s head and neck will recover from this horrifying attack. God bless.

  8. tgusa says

    Sep 23, 2019 at 5:57 pm

    “Const Treloar ran off”

    What the…

    Is that fool of a girl who is PM going to ban constables that run off or guys with tomahawks wearing a police hat and jacket while yelling excerpts from the Koran?

    • gravenimage says

      Sep 23, 2019 at 6:10 pm

      Yes–Constable Treloar should have shot this Jihadist.

      But most police in New Zealand are not allowed to carry firearms, and would have had only pepper spray and
      a baton–and those were probably not on his person during a traffic stop. So this officer had no choice. Suicidal madness.

      • Jap says

        Sep 23, 2019 at 6:26 pm

        Yeah, if the cop was carrying a gun this fool should have been DRT (Dead Right There).
        This means no gun or the cop needs a testicle transplant.

      • tgusa says

        Sep 23, 2019 at 6:37 pm

        “would have had only pepper spray and a baton”

        In certain areas we call that, some lady walking her dog after sun down.

        • gravenimage says

          Sep 23, 2019 at 6:42 pm

          Yes. I also understand that police in New Zealand are not even allowed to have these weapons on their person during traffic stops, unless they have some specific reason to think that the person they are stopping is dangerous.

          Of course, this doesn’t take unrelated Jihad terror attacks into account.

    New Zealand: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” and passages from the Qur’an rams police car, attacks cop with axe
    ………………

    Will New Zealand police have a problem figuring out his motive? And yes–there will probably be no investigation of his Mosque–but there should be.

  10. gravenimage says

    Sep 23, 2019 at 6:19 pm

    And I just found out something about the Mataura Masjid Islamic Centre–they have just set up a new, expanded Mosque in an Anglican church:

    Recently a Church belonging to Anglican Church came on the market for sale. It was on the basis of auction and Alhamdulillah we were successful in purchasing it on 19 April 2018. The Church is in the prime location of the town – on the main state high way (SH1) and a corner plot. The address is 127 Main Street, Mataura, Gore, New Zealand.

    This Masjid will be very helpful to our community and will also be helpful for the travelers who travel between Dunedin to Invercargill or Queenstown to Invercargill and vice-versa. The building comprises of two separate sets of buildings, one is the main Church building and the other is a hall for gathering.
    We are hoping to start five-time daily prayers, Friday prayers, Taraweeh, Eid prayers, and children Quranic classes in this place from the 1st of Ramadan 1439. InShaAllah!

    https://fianz.com/mataura-masjid-islamic-centre-gore/

    The Jihadist thug, above, is also clearly a convert to Islam, given his Western name.

    • JMB says

      Sep 23, 2019 at 6:46 pm

      Have you travelled to NZ recently? I have. That small nation is destroying it’self with political correctness and a virtual open-door immigration policy. The newcomers to that small western nation particularly the Muslims and the Hindus all of whom do the jobs that NZers, in particular the indigenous Maori, do not want to do, all say; “this country is just so welcoming to us.” Not only have most NZers not read the Koran, I suspect that most of them have not read of the Trojan Horse. Then their PM, who reminds me of Trudeau had her moment on the world stage following the Christchurch massacre, personally feel that she handled it all with great dignity but seemed to forget that it was not a New Zealander who was responsible but an Australian. But of course Ms Adern’s speech also supported the perceived world wide victim status of Islam. Again, does Ms Ardern know anything about Islam and are her security advisers aware of Jihad?

        I have not been, JMB, but I do have relatives there. And I know how foolish–and dangerous–this dhimmitude is.

        Indeed, Jacinda Ardern could well be Justin Trudeau’s separated-at-birth sister. They both like dressing up as people of another culture – Miss Ardern dons the hijab and gets talked about as a Nobel Prize prospect, Mr Trudeau’s blackface was not so well received, don’t ask me why. Last week, Ms Ardern arrived in Japan and talked about how pleased she was to be in China, I believe that Mr Trudeau said something similar on his recent visit to Japan.

    Fantastic!!! New Zealand has finally atoned for the Christchurch massacre: now their Prime Minister can take off her hijab and resume being a normal prime minister of New Zealand (if ever she was one)

  12. Aussie Infidel says

    Sep 23, 2019 at 6:29 pm

    Will New Zealand’s PM Ardern broadcast another Muslim call to prayer over Radio NZ to quell any anti-Islam backlash from the kafirs?

  13. John says

    Sep 23, 2019 at 11:31 pm

    This piece of FILTH’S advocate is J Ardern, the NZ PM . Stinking Traitor to all Civilisations and Serviceman and Women around the World.

  14. Giacomo Latta says

    Sep 24, 2019 at 9:53 am

    Now is a great opportunity for Ms. Ardern to feel sorry for non-Muslims and displaying it by doffing her own home-made pseudo-Muslim kit. Her Muslim getup must be getting a little gamey by now.

    Considering what happened in New Zealand not too long ago with one of its mosques – Moslems do NOT belong in New Zealand. Deport all of them back to Syria.
