“The court heard Kocoglu had renounced Islamic State, had no prior offences and had not re-offended in the past five years and was not a threat to the Australian community.”
A great deal is riding on Kocoglu’s being honest about this. Australian citizens can only hope that he is.
Note also that Kocoglu is a pensioner, which means he was sending taxpayer money to the Islamic State. Lord, what fools these infidels be.
“Victorian pensioner who funded Islamic State spared more jail time,” 9News, November 8, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A Melbourne pensioner won’t spend any more time behind bars after a judge accepted he was “infatuated” by an American Islamic State supporter he sent money to.
Hampton Park man Isa Kocoglu admitted sending more than $2700 over several transactions to John Georgelas while the American was fighting in Syria in 2014.
County Court Judge Greg Lyons said it wasn’t in the interest of justice to sentence Kocoglu to more than the 31 days he served on remand several years ago when he was first charged.
Kocoglu has spent three years on strict bail conditions including daily reporting to police, a curfew and restrictions on his internet use, including not accessing social media.
He was freed today on a $500 promise to be of good behaviour….
Kocoglu was the administrator of a supportive Islamic State Facebook group during 2014, when he made a total of four transfers to Georgelas to support the ongoing operation of his website in Syria….
The court heard Kocoglu had renounced Islamic State, had no prior offences and had not re-offended in the past five years and was not a threat to the Australian community.

As long as he is molsim, he is a threat. And a male “infatuated’ with another male. What about that moslim? does islam allow for such a thing?
There is no justice. moslims are allowed to walk on a ‘promise’ not to re-offend.

… and an infidel who repeats something from islamic scriptures – like, i don’t know, maybe that islam teaches that only muslims should be loved, and all infidels should be hated – gets put into prison for a year or 3 for “hate speech,” with the *TRUTH* having *NO* *BEARING* on the case. the left’s reasoning is apparently that the former isn’t smart enough to figure out our culture, while the latter should know better. it seems to me that the left is making a racist assumption (if the muslim isn’t white, which is most of the time) that the muslim isn’t smart enough to figure out our culture, even after living here for years or decades, while the white person is assumed to be smart enough to figure out leftist theology without any exposure at all. and as for the “whiteness” of the muslim, the left seems to be using the arguments of jim crow, in which one drop of “black blood” made one 100% black. who gives a rat’s a** what the skin color of the criminal is?
logic and law have nothing to do with this. it all demonstrates that the hard left theologists – those thought leaders who infect western universities – are using pious muslims as a proxy army to destroy civil society in the west. once the violence becomes pervasive enough, society will rapidly begin to disintegrate, and the leftist liars in government can declare martial law, shortly to (surreptitiously) followed by the instantiation of a people’s republic.

FYI says
“Good behavior” from a {al-}LAH worshipper,the Arab muslim god?
No lying{no taqqiya etc}
No violating the Actual God’s Commandments{EXODUS 20} which the koran permits
Tolerance towards other religions,atheists:no hassling ex-muslim “apostates”
No “al walaa al baraa” hatred of “infidels”
No following the perverse example{sunnah} of muhammed
No attacking the religious buildings of other religions
No hassling of women who are not wearing hijabs/infidel women…
No “allahu akbar”:no clogging up the streets with that virtue signalling display of false piety.
We could be here all day explaining to muslims what “Good behavior” demands…
keya says
Why is the judge buying this “infatuation ” thing?
carpediadem says
They’re all like that. Tiptoeing for young black offenders and Muslims.
Lefty judges appointed by a Lefty Attorney General and who have little to no criminal legal experience.
Aussie Infidel says
“Kocoglu is a pensioner, which means he was sending taxpayer money to the Islamic State. Lord, what fools these infidels be”.
Sadly, this is so true. Most of our politicians and public officials are ignorant of Islam and its doctrine of jihad against infidels – and they are so politically correct. Almost all of them believe that if they treat Muslims kindly, one day they will get to like us.
“He was freed today on a $500 promise to be of good behavior”.
But to a Muslim, ‘good behavior’ means abiding by Sharia law – which means they will continue trying to subjugate the infidels by whatever means possible.
Let’s hope Kocoglu has renounced the Islamic State – but I won’t believe him until he renounces Islam.
somehistory says
“Good behavior’ for him, means doing what he had been doing…funding a moslim engaged in terror.
abad says
Freed, he really should be deported to Syria
gravenimage says
Australia: Muslim sends over $2700 to Islamic State jihadi, gets $500 fine and is freed on promise of good behavior
……………
Yeah–that’ll work…sarc/off
And I imagine the only thing he’s “infatuated” with is Jihad.
Alkimos says
He’s still a threat to Australia…just by being a fat lazy mongrel who will never work.
gravenimage says
I *wish* Muslims were just lazy–it is their working to force Infidels to submit to Islam that is the biggest threat.
Stuart Browning says
He is on a government funded disability pension.
His disability is due to the fact that he is a glutton and has been certified as morbidly obese by Moslem GP’s who now control a thriving industry of Moslem Disability Pensions..
Last month a Blind Moslem woman who claimed a disability pension for 23 years was exposed to have perfect vision. The Moslem GPs who issued her false medical reports still walk free.
This is only the tip of the iceberg, massive child care moslem scams were exposed two months ago.
Moslems regard stealing from non moslems their rightful Jizya benefits endorsed by the Koran.

‘the now 45-year-old was groomed by Georgelas’
…sure, he was just a naive 42-year-old back when
simpleton1 says
The money being sent was to this guy.
An interesting American ISIS character.
Totally avowed muslim teaching according to Mohammad.
Kocoglu is an insidious muslim as Stuart Browning points out above, still living on a pension, as a 45 year old, and living by his young dead mentor’s sayings.
That judge needs a great deal of learning about islam.

Has Australia, or any other democracy, taken the time to declare ISIS its enemy? Is not aiding and abetting an enemy not the very definition of treason? Traitors should be shot with the very weapons they use or pay for.
Concerned Citizen says
Reminds me of the joke where these guys were captured by a tribe in Africa.
The tribe leader orders the three men to be killed by their professions.
The first is asked for his profession and says he is a carpenter so he was sawed and nailed to death.
Second guy was a chef and was eaten to death.
The third guy catches on and starts laughing. They ask why he is laughing. He says that he was an ice cream salesman. They tried locking him to death. He did not die, so they let him go.
The guy you say should be shot with the weapons he was funding, according to all the reports I could come across was funding Georgelas’ internet webpage. How can you kill him with that “weapon”?
