What could possibly go wrong? Celebrate diversity, you racist, bigoted Islamophobe!
“Convicted terrorist Abdul Nacer Benbrika wins high-court bid to restore his Australian citizenship,” by Dominic Giannini, AAP, October 31, 2023:
The Australian citizenship of convicted terrorist Abdul Nacer Benbrika has been restored by the nation’s highest court.
The High Court ruled on Wednesday that the Home Affairs Minister’s move to strip Algerian-born Benbrika of his citizenship was against the law.
Benbrika was arrested and convicted over plots to attack Melbourne landmarks in 2005, including the AFL grand final at the MCG.
The self-proclaimed Islamic cleric had also called on his followers to kill at least 1000 non-believers to force the Australian government to withdraw troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.
His 15-year sentence was due to end in 2020 but the government was successful in obtaining a continuing detention order, with a court ruling he posed an unacceptable risk to the community.
The order extended his detention until this month.
In addition to plots to blow up Melbourne landmarks he also plotted to target Sydney’s Lucas Heights nuclear reactor, and was discussing assassinating then-Prime Minister John Howard….

Western Civilization was never meant to be a suicide pact (ditto for Christianity) but the West today is largely led by a ton of moral morons who also lack common sense, as in this instance from Australia, who indeed seem to think that civilizational suicide is OK as long as legal proprieties are observed.
All of which which has reminded me of what Abraham Lincoln said when accused by Chief Justice Taney of the US Supreme Court of not following the letter of the law, to wit, what good is it, Lincoln rhetorically asked, to save the Constitution but lose the nation? Indeed.

RE: Christianity and suicide by others…not cops but mozlums….
Jesus told His disciples if they did not have a sword, to sell a garment and buy one. For self-defense, self-protection, obviously.
Sometimes when a person actually commits suicide, as they are dying, they regret what they have done.
Does the government ever regret having allowed so many mozlums to invade?

Fantastic reply by Lincoln, Wellington. All our western countries are just too nice and soft and refuse to do what is necessary to deal with the Muslim enemy, such as this piece of shit. If the minister for home affairs in Australia’s current left wing government, Clare O’Neil, wanted this creep gone from the country, then he should be gone. Only Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia have the right, tough attitude towards islam and its followers. Now, of course, the taxpayer in Australia will have to pay a huge amount of money to stop this evil creature from carrying out some kind of terrorist action. somehistory, i suspect that some members of government do regret letting the Muslim enemies in, but, unfortunately, not enough. So many of dopey fools still haven’t woken up. You would have to be braindead not to have got the message by now.
somehistory says
tim, likely, since you know Australia better than I, you are right about some regretting the decisions. I wonder if any would have the courage to admit to being wrong?
To admit to a mistake is difficult for many, maybe even most, people. To admit to such a huge mistake that affect so many and to make it over and over…one would have to be a person of very, very strong character, low on vanity and pride.
tim gallagher says
I’m sure that some are beginning to wake up to the mistake successive governments in Australia have made in letting Muslims in. As you say, it is hard for people, and many politicians do have pretty big egos, to admit that they were wrong. Just yesterday, I had lunch with a conservative friend of mine, and he said that he had met a former Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, a good guy, and a conservative and a tough guy who copped tons of criticism from the left wing wankers over the years and my friend said that he wanted to talk about letting Muslimss into the country and Tony Abbott said something like, “Oh I don’t want to go there’, but i said well later on Tony Abbott did write an article in a major Sydney newspaper saying that “islam must change”, etc. It was back in December 2015. So he did speak up. i said to my friend, well, of course the problem is that islam won’t change. End of story. But Abbott did show some courage. For Australia, it may not be too late at around 2% Muslims. For France, with nearly 10%, it is huge trouble for them. The Hungarians have it right.

“Tony Abbott did write an article in a major Sydney newspaper saying that “islam must change””
It exposes the stupidity of the elites and that they really are living in a bubble.
If Mr Abbott had 2 feet on the ground he would have said “Islam must be expelled”
tim gallagher says
Of course you’re right, Hank. But, in the case of Tony Abbott, to me, it did show that he had made some progress from when he would not discuss the issue at all with my ffriend to writing that article. i used to send letters to our Australian politicians and I would include those quotes from the Koran calling for Muslims to kill non-believers (which I first came across here at Jihad Watch), because I was certain that most politicians knew nothing at all about islam’s malignant nature. Who knows, maybe Abbott actually investigated islam a bit after that. You are right though. Imagine the outcry if Abbott or any other politicians actually said Muslims should be expelled. I think the situation with all western countries is hopeless when it comes to islam. Hungary has it right.
Wellington says
I have generally found, tg, if one pays keen attention to what I call the “sapient seven,” they really can’t go wrong. And who are these seven? Well, they are five men and two women. In chronological order they are William Shakespeare, Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Johnson, Jane Austen, Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain and Ayn Rand. When you add these seven to the great amount of wisdom found in the Bible, irrespective of possible theological certitudes, you simply can’t go wrong in figuring out how life really works.
Thanks for you reply. I do hope Australia will finally come to its senses as I hope my country, America, will as well respecting the monstrosity, the great error in man’s history, which is the Mohammedan creed.
tim gallagher says
That’s a good list, Wellington. Plenty of wisdom to be found in their writings. All this namby pamby weakness in all our too nice western countries simply won’t work when it comes to dealing with the Muslim enemy. This a truly pathetic decision by the High court. I reckon 90% of Australians would want him gone from the country, but, hey, you’ve got to think of his human rights and all that sort of bullshit. Agree with you about islam’s place in human history. a complete disaster which has cost so many lives and caused so much misery in the 1400 years it’s been around.
James Lincoln says
Thanks for the list, Wellington.

Exactly what does the Law say about this kind of lawbreaking and imported “citizens”?
If someone born in Algeria, as a citizen then moves to Australia, he gets to be a “citizen” through some law that applies to the foreign born.
So why can’t this be in reverse when the creepy lawbreaking scum commits something that goes against the Law; and shows he has no loyalty to his “adopted” country?
Hoi Polloi says
Take guns, import terrorists, refuse to imprison or deport terrorists. More hate crimes by western governments against their own. And no, savages like these are not our own.
T.Jefferson says
Very very very dark times are coming when gubbmints refuse to punish evildoers, criminals, etc.
This only fuels further evil for if there are no consequences for bad behavior… society will spiral into total anarchy.
Hudders. says
Absolute madness.
Devilish diversity in the land down under;
Inclusivity influenced by those who worship the real ‘down under’.
If you know what I mean…

As an Aussie, I am disgusted at the amount of cowardice in our leaders, he should be shot not allowed to infest Australia, soon the be part of the caliphate under labour

A foreigner comes into your country, your home, and attacks you, shits on your carpet, screams allo snackbar outside your front door and denounces everything good about the country he chose to move into and that country says welcome welcome and may we be of service to you and by the by, here is a nice brand new Passport for you in order that you can travel back and forth to the country you left in fear for your life and no worries mate we will hand you the Cash needed for your lifestyle and holiday flight back to Algeria..
Yeah that’s the ticket mate, just dont call me a racist islamowhatsit….
Its no wonder muslims around the World are laughing their hairy arses off at us.
James Lincoln says
That pretty much sums it up, Scotsman48

Fine. Restore his citizenship. Just make sure you hang him.

You gotta wonder who his followers are. A 1000 followers? Cryky, that’s a lot of croc food!

What you have there is a Commie Court ruled by Nazis. They love savage murdering scumbags. I wish I had gone to Australia when it was a country, not a junta.

He is not going anywhere except to be deported back to Algeria from whence he came as a refugee. A refugee from what?
Even though he has completed his sentence he has been held over by the government’s fiat since then. The present decision merely reaffirms the separation of the parliament and the judiciary. That won’t stop the present government from bringing in new Acts of Parliament to deal with this egregiously despicable man who was recorded as saying it was ok to murder Prime Minister Howard and his children. He won’t be getting back into his Welfare lifestyle. This man is closer to the Devil than even Anjem Choudhary.
Uma says
A terrorist leader calling for support and getting it indeed is undoubtedly alarming for India.
Hank says
I’m afraid Australia is really asking for it. Or rather Lefty voters are asking for a Muslim army to appear in their midst. I wonder what group comprises that High Court?
