His “acquaintance” Ali Kadri is anxious in the story below to portray Peter Pilkington as mentally ill, and maybe he was, although he was photographed making the ISIS one-finger salute, and numerous clear jihad attacks have been dismissed by authorities as manifestations of mental illness. It also must be asked, although it will not be, why Islam so often attracts the psychically marginal. A tormented, psychically marginal individual may try to gain peace by committing an act of jihad violence. Where would anyone get the idea to do that? From the Qur’an: “Fight them; Allah will punish them by your hands and will disgrace them and give you victory over them and satisfy the breasts of a believing people, and remove the fury in the believers’ hearts.” (9:14-15)
“Police were warned about Logan man Peter Pilkington who was shot dead on Monday, former charity worker alleges,” by Jemima Burt, ABC.net.au, December 7, 2021 (thanks to Ken):
Peter Pilkington, 48, from Woodridge, died in hospital after he was shot by police during a six-hour siege at an NDIS service provider in the southern Brisbane suburb of Stretton.
Police allege Mr Pilkington raised a firearm at officers while five people were in an adjoining room.
Commissioner Katarina Carroll said the incident was under investigation by the Ethical Standards Command, with oversight from the Crime and Corruption Commission.
Brisbane Islamic community spokesperson Ali Kadri said he met Mr Pilkington as a representative of Holland Park Mosque when he called for support and counselling after a period in prison – where Mr Pilkington had converted to Islam.
Mr Kadri, who described Mr Pilkington as an acquaintance, said he had previously warned police that Mr Pilkington might be dangerous.
He said after his release from prison, Mr Pilkington continued to suffer from drug addiction and homelessness.
“The guy was in utter desperation, I mean, somebody who’s suffering from mental health issues, drug abuse, and I think he carried a childhood trauma as well,” Mr Kadri said.
“I actually remember explicitly speaking to law enforcement agencies about my concern that something like this might happen in two years — and it did happen.
“He used to get frustrated and say really silly things sometimes. I mean, I remember a couple of years ago, he spoke to me that he might as well become a terrorist and blow up a mosque.
“He used to lash out and say silly things, but I don’t think he had access to weapons,” Mr Kadri said.
“He liked to sort of, you know, blackmail people into supporting him by saying outrageous things.”…

It’s Australia. Couldn’t they just quarantine him and other “mentally ill”, save everyone a lot of trouble.
mortimer says
What race was this ANGLO-SAXON jihadist? Was he Arabian, Pakistani? Was he brown-skinned? Is it ‘racist’ to criticize an ANGLO-SAXON jihadist?
He followed a political IDEOLOGY.
What is the NAME of that ideology?
Johnny B says
So some guy get frustrated with life and decides he want to blow up something. What does he do? Converts to Islam and dies soon after. It’s probably just a matter of luck a lot of people didn’t die because of him. He may very well have been mentally ill like everybody else who decides to blow up stuff and kill people in the name of Allah at the moment. Therefore it’s not unreasonable to ask the question why they all seem to be particularly attracted to Islam? What is it they don’t understand about “the Religion of Peace”. Had they decided to become Christian instead, I would like to know so I could explain, why you don’t just go around and kill people in the name of Jesus, if one day I should meet someone in church who looks like a ticking time bomb.

“…he spoke to me that he might as
well become a terrorist and blow up a mosque. …”
Because the most frequent target of terror attacks are mosques, right?

Good point.

Another “empty shell” westerner finds meaning in a ghastly ideology. Doesn’t end well.

Grimly true, Steve.

“… a period in prison – where Mr Pilkington had converted to Islam…”
Will questions containing those dread words where, who and how, for starters, ever be asked by our ‘authorities’?, Hint, don’t hold your breathe.
Keith O says
Pilkington did time in Woodford prison which is where the Mudslimes control the jail. So much so that if you want anything in there an inmate has to convert to Islam.
They control the drugs, have special food, have other privileges that non mudslimes don’t get, so for a lot of the prisoners it’s a case of convert or stay an infidel in jail with no protection, no good food and get bashed on a daily basis.
Woodford is a maximum security prison so it houses some really nasty individuals, the Queensland government continually denies that there is a problem in the jail, so when these bastards get out a lot of them are more violent have a severe drug problem and are caught in a cult from which there is no escape.
Perversely, a mudslime community leader from Logan has complained to the government about the drugs, coercion and radical islamists in the jail, go figure?

Keith, you are right. It looks as if conversions to Islam, including coerced and forced conversions, are rife there:

“Many prisoners convert to Islam while behind bars in order to secure protection from groups active within the jail.”

Australia: Man converts to Islam, is shot dead after raising firearm at cops during six-hour siege
…………………
Awful–just glad that no one else was harmed.
Note that he was another prison convert to Islam.
More:
“He used to get frustrated and say really silly things sometimes. I mean, I remember a couple of years ago, he spoke to me that he might as well become a terrorist and blow up a mosque.
“He used to lash out and say silly things, but I don’t think he had access to weapons,” Mr Kadri said.
…………………
A convert to Islam talking about blowing things up? What a shock…sarc/off
He doesn’t say why he wanted to blow up a Mosque. The implication is that he was “confused”–but it may be that he wanted to target a different sect or a rival Mosque.
As for his not having access to weapon,s this obviously was *not* the case.
Bikinis not Burkas says
Go to any Mosque convert to Islam and they will give you a gun, murders and bullets flying everywhere here in Sydney!
Aussie Infidel says
We have many ‘inside’ converts to Islam in our prisons here. These fools think that they will then be protected by the militants running the prisons, but then find themselves trapped within this apocalyptic cult.
Ali Kadri would be anxious to portray Pilkington as mentally ill – and perhaps he was – but indoctrination with the martyrdom rhetoric of Islam would only make his mental stability worse. Kadri couldn’t possibly blame Islam with its dogmatic militancy for any problems – as everyone knows, Islam is ‘a religion of peace’. However, these are the types of people who are attracted to this death cult, I noticed on Chan 7 TV News last night that Pilkington was making the ISIS one-finger salute. How many law enforcement officers or their bureaucrats understand the meaning of that gesture? And more importantly, what are they going to do about it? Are any of them listening to what Eric Zemmour is saying in France?
The Holland Park mosque is also not exactly known for its moderate attitudes to non-Muslims. At a mosque ‘open day’ a few years ago, a spokesman criticized other groups like the Sihks and Mormons for pretending to be ‘legitimate’ religions; when as everyone knows, Muhammad was the last prophet of God, and therefore Islam is the last and only true religion.
Our gun laws here in Australia are very tight, requiring a permit to purchase a rifle. And it can only be used for gun club or other permitted activities – not self defense – that’s a No-No. But obviously this guy slipped through the cracks – or simply obtained the gun illegally. Now where could he possibly have got that from??
It’s a tragedy that situations end this way, with people being killed – but at least the only one who died was the crazy Muslim convert himself. I feel sorry for the officer who had to shoot him. Hopefully he will be emotionally strong enough to weather any doubts or feelings of guilt.
It’s just another reason why Islam has no place in a civilized society.
tim gallagher says
Too many of these mentally ill, very marginalised people seem to find their way to Islam. I wonder if a lot of these people, who have failed in life (this man was close to being homeless and, I suppose, living in a refuge – because the NDIS stands for National Disability Insurance Scheme and runs services for people with intellectual and physical disabilities in Australia, so he may have been living in a refuge) due to their mental illness are already feeling pretty angry at society and life in general, so islam, with its very violent nature, really appeals to them, whereas peaceful religions would not appeal to them because of their anger at life. On reports out here that I heard about this incident, I’m sure that there was no mention of this man having any involvement with islam. I was probably only half listening, but I just thought it was one of these sieges where the person makes the decision to get shot dead by the police after long negotiations. Until I read this report I had no idea it had anything to do with islam. The media often won’t put the truth out there. The people who do go and join Islam often do seem to be angry people and islam fits their outlook on things.

Ali Kadri came from Pakistan to Brisbane and is associated with the Holland Park mosque, the oldest in the city.
Logan, including suburbs of Woodridge and Stretton, Slacks Creek, Underwood and others, is the epicentre of Islamic colonization in Greater Brisbane (which includes the City of Logan, in the outer southeast).
Ali Kadri attracts LOSERS. I’ve seen them with him and have personally confronted Ali Kadri on Islamic scripture and Sharia as I am highly Islam-literate.
His response to challenge is simply to deny and lie. He is a first rate example of how Australia’s immigration policies have been administered by treasonous and Islamically illiterate fools. Useful idiots.
Logan provided Australia’s first suicide bomber some years ago.
