This is not, of course, the same Daniel Greenfield who writes at FrontPage Magazine and here at Jihad Watch.
Yet another convert to Islam gets the idea that his new, peaceful religion commands him to commit violence against unbelievers. Where did Daniel Greenfield get this idea? Has his mosque been investigated? Why not?
“Sutherland man arrested on Christmas Eve over alleged terror attack plans,” by Sally Rawsthorne, Sydney Morning Herald, December 24, 2021:
Counter-terror police say that alleged aspiring jihadist Daniel Greenfield was allegedly well into planning a terror attack when they arrested him in Sutherland on Christmas Eve.
The 34-year-old had planned to attack police officers, government officials and other Muslims that he deemed insufficiently devout, Detective Superintendent Michael Sheehy told reporters on Friday morning.
“This individual is [allegedly] posting a significant amount of material about bombings and manufacturing explosives,” Det Supt Sheehy said.
“We will suggest he was planning to commit a terrorist attack that would be an act of violence against law enforcement.
“We are at the point where through the potential rapid escalation we needed to act now to ensure the safety of the community.”
Police raided Mr Greenfield’s home on the Kingsway on Friday, arresting him as he left his house early in the morning.
Police sources not authorised to speak on the record say that investigators from NSW’s Joint Counter Terrorism Team have seized USBs, SD cards and knives in his bedroom from the address.
Mr Greenfield was charged with knowingly collecting a document connected with terrorism and knowingly being a member of the Islamic State….
Police will allege he claimed to be a member of ISIS.
Police say that attempts to deradicalise Mr Greenfield, who has been known to counter-terror police since 2016, were unsuccessful.
“He refused to stay in that program and continued to promote ISIS material online.”
Police would not comment on whether Mr Greenfield was communicating with members of ISIS, was posting ISIS propaganda or both.

Got the bastard before he could do anything. GOOD.
NSW police don’t screw around when it comes to arseholes like this.
Now, we just have to wait and see if the courts throw him in jail for the rest of his pathetic life.

Yes, glad this Jihadist was caught before he hurt anyone.
Walter Sieruk says
That’s what the violent jihadists mean when they keep on chanting “Death to the infidels and hypocrites”.
mortimer says
Yes, ‘hypocrites’ are non-observant Muslims whom Allah will destroy so that new converts may take their places.
Mohammed commanded the killing of apostates, and promised eternal rewards for doing so:
“When I relate to you the words of Mohammed, by Allah, I would rather die than bear false witness to his teachings. However, if I should say something unrelated to the prophet, then it might very well be a lie so that I might deceive my enemy. Without question, I heard Mohammed say, “In the final days before Redemption there will emerge groups of foolish youths who will say all the right things but their faith will go no further than their mouths and will flee from their religion like an arrow. So, kill the apostates wherever you find them, because whoever does so will be rewarded on Judgment Day.” -Sahih Bukhari 9,84,64
Aussie Infidel says
Greenfield seems like another deluded convert to Islam – aka The Religion of Peace. The Joint Counter Terrorism Team is to be congratulated for it’s diligence.
Islam was the creation of a sociopath; it attracts sociopaths from other religions; and is run by sociopaths. In many respects Islam is very similar to the Mafia, which borrowed many of its methods; But that’s not surprising since the Muslims controlled Sicily for hundreds of years.
One of the big attractions for those who joined Mo’s ‘companions’ in Medina was the reward of “booty of war”, which Allah (wise and merciful) conveniently made “lawful and good”, and “withheld the hands of people from you”, which is “a sign for the believers that He guides you to a straight path”. (Quran 8:69, 48:20). Of course, Mo also got his share (one fifth) of the spoils. (Quran 8:41). In other words, Islam legitimizes criminal activity, and attracts the scum of the Earth to its cause.
Just another example of why Islam has no place in a civilized society.
James Lincoln says
When I read the headline “Man converts to islam” I had the sneaking suspicion that his next move was *not* likely to be opening up a new Jewish-style deli…
mortimer says
The only way out for Greenfield is to see the evidence that 1) there is no historical basis for the biography of Mohammed 2) there is no historical basis for Mecca as the oldest city or even its existence before 740AD 3) there is no historical text of the entire Koran from the time of moment … These three lacunae of Islamic historicity absolutely rule out Islam being a genuine. The foundational stories of Islam are all invented between 100 and 300 years after the facts. The actual facts are being pieced together by hard-working scholars who find a vastly different original reality from Islam’s concocted myths.

Yeah–I’m sure that hearing this from the “filthy Infidels” will stop him from wanting to murder them…
tim gallagher says
Good work in nailing this creature. Here’s hoping that he gets a very long jail sentence. I think I heard on the news here in Australia that he had already been in trouble and was being monitored after he was released on bail. Sutherland is certainly an area of Sydney which doesn’t have very many Muslims, unlike quite a few other suburbs, so this character may have been someone who was an online would be jihadist and not associated with a mosque much at all. I think he would have to travel a fair way from Sutherland, which is on the southern edge of Sydney, to a mosque. I saw a couple of his neighbours interviewed on the TV news who said that he was a very unfriendly guy when they tried to say hullo to him. But, of course, they would have been hated infidels to this maggot. Good riddance to him anyway. Hope he never gets out of jail again. The police often seem to be the targets of these Muslim terrorists so I think the police must be getting mightily pissed off with creatures like this scumbag.
nicholas tesdorf says
Vigilance from the NSW police successfully removes another loopy Muslim Jihadist from the Streets of Sydney. We just have to wait and see if the NSW court System deals with him as effectively.

Australia: Man converts to Islam, plots jihad massacres of cops, government officials, non-devout Muslims
…………….
So common–because this is the sort of thing Islam teaches.
OLD GUY says
Why is it that so many of these converts to Islam want to MURDER others? It is apparent that many if not all Islamic leaders suffer from mental illness. Maybe thats the reason these violent criminals, rapist and murderers find a safe haven in mosques and the teachings of Muhammad. It appears we need more mental institutions around the world to cure this problem with good drugs and lock downs. The NUTS seem to be running the NUT HOUSE.

Of course it didn’t work. When has this ever worked? He should not have been walking around free after having left this program, though.

Logic, common sense, and responsibility for their citizens have no place in current western gov’s.
