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

Australia: Muslim who plotted New Year’s Eve jihad massacre was “arrogant” about his knowledge of Islam

May 26, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“During the plea hearing, a letter from his younger sister Asha Ali was tendered to the court. ‘He would argue with us about the religion, becoming very arrogant in his approach and giving off this vibe of ‘I know better than everybody else.”‘”

Yet we are constantly told that Islamic jihadists know nothing of Islam, are misunderstanding basic tenets of their religion, and that if they only followed it properly, they would be peaceful and tolerant. So when Ali Khalif Shire Ali’s arrogance? Why did he think he knew Islam better than everybody else? And why do intelligence and law enforcement authorities never ponder such questions?

Also, Ali’s brother killed a man in a jihad attack. Where did these brothers learn their Islam? Is their mosque being investigated? Why not?

“Federation Square New Year’s Eve terror plotter Ali Khalif Shire Ali sentenced to 10 years’ jail,” by Karen Percy, ABC.net.au, May 21, 2020:

A man who planned a New Year’s Eve terrorist attack in Melbourne’s Federation Square three years ago has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Ali Khalif Shire Ali, 23, pleaded guilty in May last year to one charge of preparing a terrorist attack.

Police thwarted the plans, arresting him in November 2017 after a covert operation lasting a number of months.

Ali is the brother of Hassan Khalif Shire Ali, who in November 2018 crashed a car full of gas cylinders in Bourke Street in Melbourne’s CBD before stabbing three people, killing cafe owner Sisto Malaspina.

The court heard Ali had originally planned to use a truck in the planned New Year’s Eve attack, but his driver’s licence was cancelled.

He also contemplated knife attacks and making a bomb before deciding to buy an automatic weapon….

The court heard he told the officers if he saw Muslims in the crowd he would not shoot them….

During the plea hearing, a letter from his younger sister Asha Ali was tendered to the court.

She described her brother as funny and kind-hearted, but she said his behaviour changed after their mother had a cancer scare in 2016 when he became “more secretive, less social and argumentative with the family”.

“He would argue with us about the religion, becoming very arrogant in his approach and giving off this vibe of ‘I know better than everybody else’,” she wrote….

    He must have been quoting some of the 164 jihad verses in the Koran.

    In a civilised world, a lethal injection would be the only thing ahead of this inbreed.

    A Muslim arrogant about his belief system?

    Well, that’s a rarity and only a despicable Islamophobe could possibly contend otherwise.

    But Robert, The poor lad was upset because his mother had cancer. He must have been scared to be left all alone in the dar-al-harb with all us kafirs. And former President George W Bush assured us that Islam is “a religion of peace”. So surely it couldn’t have anything to do with his religion. Or could it?

    “Fighting has been prescribed for you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you know not.” (Quran 2:216).

    “So let those fight in the cause of Allah (jihad) who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter. And he who fights in the cause of Allah and is killed or achieves victory – We will bestow upon him a great reward (Paradise with all those virgins)”. (Quran 4:74).

    It seems as if violence runs in the family, with his brother then crashing a car and stabbing an innocent cafe owner. Could it be that they attended the same mosque?

    And how did this pious wannabe jihadist manage to “buy” an automatic weapon? After the big ‘gun buyback’ in this country, only the criminals have guns.

    Geez, haven’t this Muslim family made a wonderful, positive contribution to Australian society. Two of the brothers trying to murder the infidels in Australia’s infidel society, and one of the maggots murdering a man. But then again, there are more than likely a huge number of children in this Muslim family, if they are the usual such family, so maybe there might be one there who will contribute something worthwhile (as if) instead of trying to murder non-Muslim Australians. I vaguely recall the murder of that cafe owner, Sisto Malaspina, because the TV news reports at the time made the point about how he was an extraordinarily popular man and he, and his café, were something of an institution down in Melbourne. I recall that there was quite an outpouring of grief from many members of the public at the death of this man.

      In a case like this, Israel, quite sensibly, blows up the terrorist’s family home. *Two* terrorists in the same family and a little sister gets away with writing an “incriminating” letter to the court? It smells, people. AND it’s a Somali family. It’s clan-based. My suspicion is that there are tens, if not scores, of terrorists in that family. As long as we insist on playing *their* game by *our* rules, we’ll keep on losing.

    ‘He would argue with us about the religion, becoming very arrogant …

    That’s because he’s most likely been brainwashed by the teachings of islam like so many other muslims. His moral compass has gone askew because his god was a psychotic retard and his “best example” a man that murdered, tortured, and robbed. But still the authorities are so often stymied as to why these muslims do the evil they do. Hmmm… could it be because they are raised to consider non-muslims their inferiors who are worthy of death or subjugation for allah? Could it be because they are raised to believe women are 2nd class citizens to be sexually mutilated to serve them alone? Could it be because so many of their leaders and mosques preach supremacist ideas and promote terror every day around the world? Could it be because muslims worldwide hate the west and our democratic freedoms because they are trained to submit to religious tyrants? I’m just throwing these out there, stop me if I’m getting warm.

    More than arrogant for allah, muslims are known to be hateful, intolerant, discriminatory, abusive, liars who will plan murder and terror for allah, and they’re doing it on a massive scale against the West and even their own f*cking people. So let’s not lose sight of the larger picture with a frame too small. If they were only arrogant we might find a middle ground with these religious retards, but as it is, they are fighting a war for their god and it’s called jihad. It’s a religious thing, a cultural thing, an islamic thing. They are permeating every aspect of western society with their supremacist ideas and anti western sentiments, and they’re topping that off with every manner of terror they can get away with. More than “arrogant” he is a murderous conspirator, and I believe we should see islamic ideology the same way. Islam teaches supremacy and violence against unbelievers as a culture-wide paradigm, these ideas are as real and motivating to muslims as Nazism was to the Third Reich. And the consequences are no less severe.

    Confront islam, or we lose the most important things that make us a free and decent people.
