What could possibly go wrong? They were disabused in prison of all their jihadist sentiments and are now safely “deradicalized,” no?
No. Nothing, nothing whatsoever, was done while they were in prison to challenge their jihadist beliefs. Any such effort would have been “Islamophobic.” Instead, these beliefs were reinforced, as the jihadis were given Qur’ans and allowed to pray Islamic prayers together, despite the fact that the Qur’an inspired them to commit or plot jihad violence in the first place. Would Nazi prisoners during World War II have been given copies of Mein Kampf and allowed to congregate to study the words of the Führer?
“Record number of dangerous extremists to be released from prison in 2020,” by Alison Piotrowski, 9Now, June 10, 2020:
Abdul Nacer Benbrika is one of Australia’s most dangerous extremists, and in November he will be released from Barwon Prison.
He is one of a record number of eleven convicted terrorists due to be released into the community in 2020.
Algerian born Benbrika was the leader of two terror cells that plotted attacks on Australian soil in 2004 and 2005, including plans for the AFL Grand Final and Sydney’s Lucas Heights nuclear reactor.
He has already served the 12 year non-parole period of his 15 year custodial sentence, and has been denied parole on at least two occasions.
His sentence expires on November 4 and like all convicted criminals who have served their time, he’ll be a free man.
Peter Moroney was a Detective Sergeant in the NSW Police Counter Terrorism Command from 2001 to 2011 and part of Operation Pendennis that famously took down Benbrika.
Mr Moroney has serious concerns about Benbrika being released into the community.
“He had very strong convictions when he was put inside. It would, in my view, take a lot for that to be swayed or turned,” Mr Moroney told A Current Affair.
“We’re not talking about an everyday crime. We’re talking about a person who was convicted for conspiring with others to plan a terrorist attack within Australia.”
“We would want to be very right before we release him,” Mr Moroney added.
Benbrika’s son in law, Shayden Thorne, was released in March after serving three years and ten months over his role in the foiled “tinnie terrorists” plot, where six men were convicted and jailed over a bid to sail a fishing boat from Cape York in Queensland to the Philippines to incite an uprising and overthrow the government.
Deakin University Terror Expert Greg Barton says questions have been raised over Thorne’s monitoring back home in Perth.
“It was expected when he was released he would be fitted with a GPS ankle bracelet or some other way of tracking his location, and that apparently wasn’t done,” he told A Current Affair.
Another plot member Murat Kaya was released in January after serving four years, despite a judge finding Kaya had contempt towards non-Muslims and Australian law.
The other “tinnie terrorists” – Kadir Kaya, Paul Dacre and Antonino Granata – were released from prison in early May after serving their full terms.
They are not on parole, therefore they are not subject to court-ordered supervision….
Dude says
Do our countries have no guts? Just parachute these wackos into the desert anywhere. Let them scramble for existence amongst their own kind. Decent folk should not have to tolerate this scum.
The mohammedans have their own constitution, don’t let our laws protect them. As far as they’re concerned, our laws don’t govern them anyway.
Ian Walker says
Dude, I totally agree with you 100%.

SO What could possibly go wrong??? but just remember not to feel sorry for the Aussies when it does…
Francis Weber says
Fair go mate, as an Aussie living in Sydney Australia, I have no part in the discision making as to what happens to these scum bags, if I did it would be totally different.
Tent city in the middle of Western Australia, supplies dropped by plane once a month, if they leave they go back again on the next supply plane with no parachute.
A Gnostic Agnostic says
Muslim = Jew
They pathologically scapegoat their own crimes against humanity onto ” Jews ” but because Muslims can not account for their own actions (on account of their own “beliefs”) they can not see the Jew in themselves: worshiping a single book and single male central figure idol who religiously blamed Jews for everything he was himself guilty of. That is Muhammad, that is Muslim: blame Jews, blame Christians, blame “unbelievers”, blame atheists, blame the West, blame the “zionists”… simply can not look in the mirror and see who the real book-worshiping “Jews” are – themselves.

Hard to understand what you are saying. Please explain.

I watched an interview on tv with Benbrika, he is probably the most dangerous man in this country.
The rhetoric coming out of his mouth was nothing short of terrifying.
His intensity, behavior and language were on par with individuals like the muppets who were running ISIS.
There is no way this twisted individual should be released back into a civilized nation.
If the government has any balls they will immediately deport him back to Algeria.
End PC says
Convicted terrorists IMO should be executed or given life sentences. A government’s first duty is the psychical protection of it citizens.
Francis Weber says
If it was they would ban Islam!
Don’t be silly they only look after themselves.
OLD GUY says
These men will come out of prison and go right back into terrorism with a vengeance. If they are among the thousands of migrant invaders of your country then deport them, if they are born citizens them you will need to track them for a long time after their release. Prisons seldom reform these men from their life of criminal actions or terrorism.
mortimer says
If a Muslim convict were to write a ten-page essay on why the Koran cannot be considered divinely inspired … why the Koran is of human origin … I would agree that he could probably not return to jihadism. Once Muslims realize that the Koran is of human origin, they leave Islam immediately. The Koran is the source of jihadism.
Prisons should be offering Muslims convicts voluntary courses in Koran textual criticism in exchange for sentence reduction.
There is some jihadism in every Muslim. Only a non-Muslim or ex-Muslim is safe from the lure of jihadism.

Mortimer, if someone were holding a gun to my head, I would be able to write a ten-page paper on why Islam is great and the pedophile caravan-raiding rapist warlord “Prophet” Muhammed is the ideal man. Of course, I would probably throw up while doing so.
You know better than most that Muslims are allowed to lie to the ‘filthy Infidels’ in order to spread Islam and wage Jihad.

These bastards should be deported upon release; it’s a bloody no brainer, for christs sake.
Michelle Reardon says
They should be deported back to their countries of origin. Leave the prison, straight to the airport. Guards should be on the planes. Bye bye.
