What is being done to disabuse Momena Shoma of her jihadist sentiments? Why, nothing. Nothing at all. To attempt any such thing would be “Islamophobic,” and non-Muslim authorities all over the world have determined that their primary responsibility is to avoid appearing “Islamophobic.”
“Convicted terrorist admits stabbing inmate, being Islamic State member,” by Erin Pearson, Brisbane Times, June 29, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
A convicted terrorist serving 42 years in prison for an attack on her Melbourne homestay host is facing more time behind bars after pleading guilty to stabbing a fellow inmate while in custody and being a member of Islamic State.
Bangladeshi woman Momena Shoma, 28, fronted Melbourne Magistrates Court on Tuesday after being charged with engaging in a terrorist act and being a member of a known terrorist organisation.
Court documents released to The Age show the jailhouse attack occurred at Dame Phyllis Frost Centre on October 30, 2020. The documents also reveal officers from the Joint Counter Terrorism Team charged Shoma late last year with being a member of Islamic State between about July 4, 2019, and the day of her latest attack. During this time she was behind bars.
“I would like to plead guilty,” Shoma said.
Shoma sat mostly in silence throughout the brief hearing, speaking via video link only to enter her pleas of guilty and to confirm that she understood.
The guilty pleas come two years into a 42-year prison sentence for a previous terror attack on homestay host Roger Singaravelu.
Shoma stabbed Mr Singaravelu in the neck with a kitchen knife while he slept at his Mill Park home in February 2018.
The Supreme Court heard Shoma yelled “Allahu Akbar” as she carried out the attack in front of the victim’s young daughter. Days earlier she had been removed from another host family after stabbing a mattress.
During sentencing in 2019, Justice Lesley Taylor said while Shoma had arrived in Australia on a student visa to study with a scholarship, her only intention in coming to the country was to carry out a “chilling” terrorist attack….

These people should not even be allowed into the country to study.
Look no further than the US, the VP Karmala Harris whose mother came to the US to study and was suppose to go home to India, but would not leave so she got pregnant and has an Anchor Baby to stay in the US. Her words not mine! I can’t even imagine how many other people do this especially with Harris bragging about being an Anchor Baby. They don’t respect our laws or our nations and people.
The freedom loving western nations must strengthen our laws against the people that come to destroy our nations! I realize this is a different example, but also important.

Jillian : as a Canadian Christian guy originally from Iraq , I wanna say Muslims come to the West in order to islamise the western societies by convincing westerners to embrace Islam and also to impose Islamic of law
On the whole western society especially when they start to increase in number and / or become a majority! and many of those Muslims are here in the West to carry out terrorist attacks against non Muslims especially against Christians and Jews . Never trust Muslims never … my Christian ancestors in Iraq said it .. as my grandma once told me that her mom told her according to her ancestors hundreds of years ago “ if a Muslim is a piece of gold, then don’t put them into your pocket otherwise they would rip through “ meaning when Muslims have the chance and ability to harm non-Muslims especially the Christians , they would do it without any kind of gestation at all and Iraqi Christine’s after the fall of Saddam’s bloody regime is the best example of Muslims stabbing Christians in the back ( I.e. betraying them after taking Islam seriously and have the chance to harm Christians ) where even longtime Muslim neighbours to Christians have stabbed Christians in the back by killing them , kidnapping & raping Christian girls for adopting western-style clothes ( I.e wearing tank top , mini skirts , tight jeans, shorts etc.. which Christian of the Iraq abs all of rye middle east do as they are pro western civilisation life style ) .

All grimly true.

Lion heart, on that saying that you mention from your grandmother, I used to work helping out old people a few years back. One of the old people I worked with was a terrific old man who was originally from Malta, but had come to Australia many years before I met him and his wife, who had dementia. He was a saintly person. A very religious Christian, but not ever pushing his faith onto anyone. He was one of the best people I have ever met. I said something about how I didn’t like Islam or Muslims very much. I wasn’t sure what he might say because he was such a saintly, incredibly nice person. He just said to me, “Yes, don’t turn your back on them”. I figure that that was probably a common saying about Muslims amongst Maltese people, probably because they had had plenty of trouble with Muslims over the years.
Raja says
Lots of Asian Indians come to America and get hooked to the freedom and culture. A small percentile of Indians ever return to India. The VP might be more crooked than the other Indians who pursue their profession in US.
You need to consider how much Muslims want to destroy America in every possible way, besides enjoying all the luxuries of life. Muslims are far worse than law abiding Indians. They are apples and oranges, incomparable.

Black knives matter!
mortimer says
Betrayal like this is systemic in Islam and is called ‘temporary alliance’.
mortimer says
The prison services should be creating protocols to convince Muslims that the Koran is of human origin. The Muslims will abandon jihad and Islam immediately. That is the only way to make society safe from JIHADISM.
gravenimage says
Mortimer, can you point out a prison program that has ever led Muslims to abandon Jihad and Islam immediately?
mortimer says
Momena Shoma should be required to read Robert Spencer’s ‘DID MUHAMMAD EXIST?’ If she did, she would realize there is no point following a fictitious Mohammed.

I live in Australia and I had forgotten about this case. There are many of them over time so I tend to lose track of them. This report jogged my memory about how she had attacked the man in the place where she was staying. What an idiotic blunder to let such a vile creature into the country. Far too many Muslims pose a huge risk to the citizens of all our countries. Better to just keep them out.

Yes, gravenimage, how about the bit there about how this piece of crap had only one intention in coming to Australia and that was to carry out a terrorist attack. It is so foolish to let creatures like this into any non-Muslim country. She is going to cost the Australian taxpayer a hell of a lot of money keeping her in jail and feeding her there for the very long sentence she rightly is facing.

Yes–suicidal insanity. And Australia is far from the only one.

Australia: Muslima migrant who stabbed man while screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ now stabs fellow inmate
……………
Hideous, but it does not surprise. I hope her victim recovers.
Kay says
It looks like to be a good Muslim you have to be a compete conplete murderous radical.
James Lincoln says
Actually not radical, Kay.
A good muslim is just a very devout muslim in the islamic world…
OLD GUY says
Closed borders to islamic/muslim people would stop a lot of these attacks in the non-islamic countries.
Killing is always the answer for muslim/islamics who are offended or challenged about their beliefs.
