Australia: Muslim migrant on terror watch list stabs tourist, cops say they don’t know his motivation

Feb 24, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

How long are authorities in non-Muslim countries going to keep up this ridiculous charade and keep on pretending that there is no global jihad?

“Brisbane stabber was on counter terror list, police reveal,” 9News, February 23, 2020:

The man shot dead by police after stabbing a young tourist in Brisbane’s CBD this morning was on a counter terror watch list, police have revealed.

The 25-year-old was born in Afghanistan but had been living in Australia and was known to police, but detectives say at this stage they are not treating his actions as a terror attack.

The man, whose name has not yet been released, was shot by police after he stabbed an overseas tourist with a knife on Mary Street around 10am today.

The 26-year-old male victim was walking down Mary Street with a woman, at 10am when they were approached by the man, who they say was “behaving strangely”.

He stopped in front of them and said nothing as he pulled a knife out of his bag, police say.

The pair fled, with the woman making it back to their hotel room.

However, the attacker chased the man, and hit him in the face, breaking his nose and injuring his lip before stabbing him in the back.

Police say he was trying to run when he was stabbed.

“The male, the victim then turned to run away further. He then felt in his back something sharp, which we now believe he was stabbed,” Detective Superintendent Tony Fleming told reporters.

Det Supt. Fleming says officers were alerted to the stabbing over their radio, prompting a police car to drive down Mary Street to confront the attacker.

They shot him after he approached them with a knife….

Det Sup Int Fleming said the attacker was known to police and said a wide ranging investigation would take place, including looking at potential terrorism related motives….

“All the information to us at the moment was that this person was acting alone, came into the city alone, did those actions alone – but we just don’t take anything for granted,” Det Supt. Supt Fleming, said.

“We don’t know the motivation for this attack today but obviously we treat it very seriously….

    Of course these idiots get killed while doing their crimes, because then as their stupid books tell them, they go directly to sensuous paradise. The whole religion is about the male genital – an idiot jerk-off’s fantasy. And they all buy it, because that’s who they are. DUH, tough guy, can’t get enough guy !

        Most of the ISIS leaders have/had PhDs and other high levels of education. they are still killers.

        Sheik Qaradawi is a qualified doctor. Many jihadis have qualifications in various fields and still choose to do jihad.
        It is about longstanding hatred and Islamic programming, not education or training.

    Memo to Australian police:

    Jihadis are allowed, and encouraged, to act alone.
    There is no obligation to be “part of a group”.

    The motivating texts are the same for one person as for a group.

      I know a few cops here in Brisbane and they know this. It’s the talking heads who spin this bullshit to the public who need to be reminded.

          The BS flows downhill from the politicians onto the rank-and-file who have informed themselves about jihad and are warned not to speak out about it.

        • gravenimage says

          Feb 25, 2020 at 12:18 am

          Mortimer, I doubt that all of the rank-and-file police have informed themselves about Jihad in any formal way–but I imagine most of them have noticed the huge rates of Muslim crime and violence.

        • mortimer says

          Feb 25, 2020 at 12:39 am

          Cops see the crime rates and draw their own private, non-PC conclusions about the jihad motive. I believe that ‘many’ constables are doing their own research into the motivation of jihad.

        • gravenimage says

          Feb 25, 2020 at 11:48 pm

          I hope so, Mortimer. But even just having a “gut feeling” that Islam is a problem is a good thing–but most people are constrained by “political correctness” from relying on their instincts.

    As someone who lives in Australia, I thought, probably like most people, when I heard about this shooting, oh, it will probably be a Muslim terrorist attack or maybe an insane person suddenly stabbing a person. Sure enough, it is another Muslim would be terrorist. All around the world, endlessly, there is this same evil violence from Muslims. They are such a negative in every country foolish enough to let them in. We have to slam the door shut on letting any more Muslims into our countries. Or are we supposed to admit defeat and say, like that Muslim mayor of London, oh, this is just part of life in a big city these days and learn to live with this garbage? It is life in a big city where there are Muslims, that’s for sure.

      Its funny, Khan said terror attacks were just a part of living in big cities – when non-muslims are the victims – he NEVER says it when he rushes to any attack on muslims.

        Feb 25, 2020 at 4:05 pm

        You’re right, Hugo. You would have to call Khan a complete hypocrite, but, of course, to him, as a Muslim, only Muslims would really matter and all he is about is working to advance the Muslim cause.

    • mortimer says

      Feb 25, 2020 at 12:22 am

      DetSupt Fleming should be dismayed for saying such things, but we should remember that police are allowed to lie in the pursuit of evidence. I believe that many police have informed themselves about Islamic teachings, but secretly.

    Feb 24, 2020 at 5:21 pm

    People in Australia did not even get informed by the MSM that he was a Muslim. Theywere left to deduce that from the Muslim Track Record.

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 24, 2020 at 8:23 pm

      Yes–the story above skirts the fact that he was Muslim.

    • tim gallagher says

      Feb 24, 2020 at 10:34 pm

      ntesdorf, that is something that I notice on the news nearly all the time here in Australia. They don’t say it was a “Muslim terrorist attack”. They simply say, almost always, it was a terrorist attack. Maybe the news services know that, by now, we all know it is a Muslim terrorist attack 99.9% of the time, but I still find it very inaccurate reporting. The TV and radio news and newspapers should say that it is a Muslim terrorist attack. I find it very dishonest. They continue to run some kind of a protection racket for Islam. I imagine the same goes on in other western countries as well.

        If he was called Bob Smith – his name would have been given by the police from the beginning….if on the other hand his name begins with an M or an A, they will keep it a secret as long as they can, hoping the public’s attention would have gone to another subject before they quietly release it.

          Feb 25, 2020 at 4:01 pm

          You’re right, Hugo. The way that the media usually just say, “a terrorist attack” or a “terrorist incident” is annoying because I’m sure it can only be because they are trying to protect islam and Muslims. Occasionally, they will say “an Islamic terrorist attack”, but mostly they won’t say that. At least, this is the way these attacks tend to be reported in Australia. I imagine it’s the same in all similar western countries. Look, I don’t think it works anyway. By now, after all these attacks by Muslims, it is 99% certain to be a Muslim attack. Most of us aren’t fooled by the media disinformation. Thanks for the +1 gravenimage.

    Australia: Muslim migrant on terror watch list stabs tourist, cops say they don’t know his motivation
    …………….

    Why was this Muslim thug free to stab someone if he was on the Terror Watch List, a *known threat*?

    As for the motive, it takes serious denial to pretend that it is a mystery under these circumstances.

    Just glad that the police took him out.

  8. simpleton1 says

    Feb 24, 2020 at 8:24 pm

    It seems that maybe, maybe there was no declaration of “allahu-akbar” being called out.

    No witness has mentioned this,

    If recorded by cell phone video, it is either censored, held back, or simply the guy was rather mute.

    Is the full story being released?
    Eventually the name will become known, but by then, off the head line news & just a page 20 mention.

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/multiple-people-injured-after-car-plows-into-carnival-parade-in-germany/ar-

    NBC reporting a driver ran over people in a parade.
    “Eyewitnesses told investigators the motorist appeared to deliberately drive into the crowd, a police spokesman told NBC News.”

    ]”The suspect, a 29-year-old German citizen from Volkmarsen, was among the 20 to 30 people being treated for injuries sustained in the crash,”
    “No motive has been determined,” And this may not be moslim jihad, but the news item does recall the “jihadist” attack on the Christmas market in 2016 in Berlin. (Yes, “jihadist” was the word used.)

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 25, 2020 at 11:52 pm

      Yes–I’ve wondered about this. *61* people were injured, so this doesn’t just sound like an accident or even drunk driving. Could be Jihad.

  12. somehistory says

    Feb 24, 2020 at 11:40 pm

    The “stabber was on counter terror list”…and they still “don’t know the motive”? And, they “are not treating it as a terror attack”?

    Perhaps if he had gone into a store and attacked someone across the “counter.” Maybe then they would treat it as a “terror” attack.

    The victim “fled” and “tried to run,” but still was stabbed. It’s great that he and his lady friend survived. And the cops can take the moslim creep off the list.

    THE “motive” of all Islam is the hatred directed towards KAFIRS. That hatred comes from ALLAH, but Allah wants Muslims to hate the KAFIRS too.

    Allah wants Muslims to hate, and show HOSTILITY towards the dirty KAFIRS.

    The MOTIVATING TEACHING of Islam that explains ALL JIHAD ACTION is called “AL WALAA WAL BARAA”.

    The term means ‘COMRADESHIP’ between Muslims versus ‘CLEANSING’ and SEGREGATION from the dirty KAFIRS.

    Muslim are required to practice SEPARATION, SEGREGATION and WARFARE against kafirs because of Allah’s HATRED of the kafirs.

    As to this Islamic Jihad attack… which all Muslim attacks and crimes are (they are all JIHAD)… what else is new. Germany itself is waging a war against its only conservative party (AfD) claiming the hookah attacker was “FAR RIGHT” when, in fact, he was not as he was on a revenge mission against someone who wronged him. The “LEFT” is covering up crimes… every single leftwing/socialist/fascist/communist crime they can… in the hope of keeping their fatally flawed globalist/diversity agenda afloat.

    Here’s a couple of Quran verses that might have motivated him: 8:12 Your Lord inspired the angels: “I am with you, so support those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. So strike above the necks, and strike off every fingertip of theirs.”
    8:39. Fight them until there is no more persecution, and religion becomes exclusively for Allah.

  17. Aussie Infidel says

    The police officer’s comment, “We don’t know the motivation for this attack today”, indicated that he knew little about Islam – or was too politically correct to say so.

    Unfortunately most Australians have not read the Quran, or the other Islamic scriptures, and have little understanding of Islam and its barbaric Sharia law. And since Section 116 of our Constitution allows “the free exercise of any religion”, few of our politicians would dare discriminate against Muslims on immigration or other matters.

    However, the Islamic scriptures are more political than religious, and incite Muslims to “hate unbelievers”. Hatred of non-Muslims is a core tenet of Islam, and not simply caused by differences between people.
    Islam also commands Muslims to wage jihad against unbelievers to subjugate their religions and culture – and even kill them. There are over 100 verses in the Quran alone which refer to jihad. No other religion but Islam incites its followers to commit such criminal acts.

    Because of its criminal political content, Islam should not be given the same Constitutional protection as other religions. Islam should be banned completely, all Mosques should be closed, and Muslim immigration halted forthwith – not because of its religious beliefs, but because its fascist political ideology is a threat to our national security.

    However, until we get politicians who understand the totalitarian nature of Islam – and have the guts to confront it – everyone needs to educate themselves about this supremacist ideology. A good place to start would be right here on Jihad Watch, where Robert Spencer and his worthy crew have reported daily for almost 20 years on the latest jihadist atrocities from around the world. A record of deadly jihadist attacks since ‘9/11’ (including this one in Australia) can also be found at https://thereligionofpeace.com/

    Islam is a criminal ideology which has no place in a civilized society.

      Feb 25, 2020 at 9:50 pm

      Aussie you have hit the nail on the head. Until we face islam for what it is and stands against these crimes they will only continue. Islam works on the strong horse principles, unless we fight back they see us as weak.
