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

Australia cancels citizenship of Muslim cleric who plotted jihad massacre at soccer match

Nov 25, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 31 Comments

A necessary act of national defense that will inevitably be decried as “Islamophobic.” In the eyes of the Left, Infidels are supposed to sit back and accept Islamization and Leftist authoritarianism passively.

“Australia cancels citizenship of Muslim cleric in local first,” Reuters, November 25, 2020:

SYDNEY: Australia has canceled the citizenship of an Algerian-born Muslim cleric who was convicted of leading a terrorist cell that planned to bomb a football match in Melbourne in 2005, Minister for Home Affairs Peter Dutton said on Wednesday.

Abdul Nacer Benbrika is now the first person to be stripped of his citizenship while still in Australia….

Benbrika was convicted on three terrorism charges. He was jailed for 15 years for directing a terrorist group, being a member of a terrorist group and possessing material associated with planning of a terrorist act.

Benbrika remains in an Australian prison despite finishing his sentence. Under Australian law Canberra is permitted to detain anyone convicted of terror offenses for up to three years after their sentence finishes….

Under Australian law, a person can only be stripped of their citizenship if they are dual citizens, thereby preventing people from being made stateless….

    (From Australia) It is encouraging to see this news item on JW. Yes, our Minister for Home Affairs, Mr Peter Dutton, has a reputation for being tough. So far there has been very little if any outcry over this, I think the Australian public are quite supportive of Mr Dutton’s tough stand on this and many other similar matters. In a bizarre twist, this convicted terrorist claims that he is a citizen of Fiji, something that the Fijian Government strongly denies! Note also,generally speaking terrorism offences in Australia do attract very long jail sentences, often in a “super-max’ prison and or deportation.

      It’s unfortunate that these “never-patriot” terrorists can’t be collected until it is efficient to toss them all out of a C-130, with parachutes, over some warlord-controlled territory.

      Also, I hope this evil person on release goes straight to an Airport and is flown out from Australia and NEVER permitted to return to Australia or any other Christian and/or Western country. If Fiji has no record of his citizenship there he is obviously a typical lying, deceitful and dangerous muslim! To plan slaughtering so many people in itself is despicable!

        Lynette, You wrote,”To plan slaughtering so many people in itself is despicable”!

        What is despicable to you and me – and any other sane person – is a ‘holy duty’ to people like Benbrika. But that’s because he and all other Muslims have been indoctrinated with this violent garbage from birth. I remember him piously quoting from the Islamic scriptures as he was being shoved into a prison van. Following Islam is a sure fire way to end up with an addled brain.

      This is fantastic! Only thing I’d suggest: if a person doesn’t have dual citizenship and risks becoming stateless, they should upgrade the penalty to a death penalty, so that the ‘statelessness’ issue would be resolved!

      Australia should not have granted citizenship to clerics, especially if they were from countries like Nigeria and Pakistan, among others. Australia should have taken away their citizenships the moment they were convicted of terrorism-related offences. But better late than never – all the Western nations should join hands and throw out all the criminals suspected of planning attacks against their innocent citizens!
      France needs support of the remaining Western nations in making itself safe from the would be Islamic terrorists!

      They shouldn’t have a choice in that matter. They should receive him, and then if they think he’s a social liability (which he is), they should toss him in jail or make him disappear

      So much for “authentic Islam and proper reading of the Qur** are opposed to every form of violence”…….I don’t know much about Algeria to know if it is a follower of sharia law, but at least Austrailia is on to the deception since they surveil mosques….that Islam so vehemently forbids and defines it as”hate”….someone checked out the dawah and doctrine and protected it’s citizens but unless it is banned in total or removed it wil be relentless monitoring and grow more dangerous.

    Good to hear that someone is taking a tough stance, even if it is that clown Dutton.
    The big problem is his Australian born wives (yes wives,plural) and children. Because they were all born here we can’t strip them of their citizenship and deport them, so that may give this scumbag ammo for his appeal.
    The gumbyment has already tried to deport him several times and has failed for this reason.

    ‘A necessary act of national defense that will inevitably be decried as “Islamophobic”…….

    Yes, you can probably see that one coming a mile away. But it would be interesting to see how anyone who claims that can explain how getting rid of a criminal disciple of a religion that prescribes murder and destruction is suffering from an ‘irrational fear’ of that (so-called) ‘religion’.

    Is this a chink of light in the wall of blindness and ignorance – that comprises Western leadership – which might point to an uptick in growing resistance to islamic violence ?

    If so, we can bet our bottom dollars that there will come a great emergence from within the dark nest of maddened aspirant martyrs ( = followers of a demonic, mentally ill, false prophet) who will not take Western resistance lightly.
    They will emerge from the shadows in droves… with their suicide belts, knives, machetes, pangas, ramming vehicles, planes, whatever, and the demonic will to slaughter all who are not of their ilk (…meaning all infidels).

    It was Robert Spencer that had me begin to wonder (long after the event) whether Afriqiyah Airways Flight 771 – that crashed on 12 May 2010 on approach to Tripoli International Airport, leaving one 9 year old survivor (…of the 104 souls on board) – was in fact due to’ pilot error’ as was claimed.

    My doubts iro ‘pilot error’ still persist…

    IT is great to see the Australian government get rid of a couple of these scumbags lately. Dutton has thrown out quite a few New Zealand crims, who I suppose never did become Australian citizens. Recently a career Crim, one of a notorious family crime gang got out of jail and was on a plane back to Lebanon immediately. I think his name was Michael Ibrahim. The Ibrahim family have been a really big time crime family for ages. This is good news to hear that this piece of crap, Benbrika, is being thrown out in a similar way to Ibrahim. Quite a few years ago, I can recall a big time bikie gang boss, I remember that his family names was Vella, got thrown out and is living back in Malta. I suppose he must have had dual citizenship and they got rid of him on character grounds because of his dual citizenship. I suppose they threw Ibrahim out on the same grounds. It is great to get rid of some of these types of people, but I think it seldom works and Australia, like most western countries, is stuck with some truly appalling people that we can’t get rid of.

      This “stateless” thing is a canard – he’s Algerian – return him to Algeria.

      Benbrika is an enemy combatant and has no more right to be coddled by Australian society than a Japanese soldier in WW2 – less, in fact – since he is a traitor to the country that took him in.

      When jihadis reject Western values, they lose any moral claim to citizenship.

      Same goes for jihadis born in Western countries – they don’t see themselves as Australian, American, British, French, German etc, and neither should we.

    Actually it was the grand final of the Australian Football League involving teams that play Australian football, the main football code in Australia. It wasn’t a soccer match.
