Relax. The “experts” will explain it all for us. “If he was following IS (Islamic State) direction why didn’t he go in there and kill everyone?” Maybe Man Haron Monis intended to take hostages. Is Associate Professor Rodger Shanahan from the Lowy Institute really unaware of Islamic law regarding hostage-taking and the subsequent killing, enslavement, […]
Muslim professor tells inquest that Australian jihad murderer rarely went to mosque
“Professor Abdalla told the inquest he had consulted ‘extensively’ with imams from around the country, and none could recall seeing Monis at a mosque. He said it was likely that Monis rarely attended prayers.” Such claims are quite difficult to verify, but it is doubtful that the Sydney siege inquest will even try. The problem […]
Authorities got 18 warning calls about Sydney jihadist before his attack
But you can’t fault them for not acting upon them: “He was only one of several thousand people of potential security concern.” Several thousand! How did there come to be so many misunderstanders of Islam in Australia? “Sydney Siege: 18 Warning Calls Before Attack,” Sky News, February 22, 2015 (thanks to Anne Crockett): A national […]
Sydney siege jihadi fooled Australian government into giving him refugee status
Presumably to have looked too closely into Man Haron Monis’s claims would have been “Islamophobic.” Note also Amnesty International’s role in getting this jihad killer into Australia. “Lindt cafe guman Man Haron Monis given refugee status after fooling the Australian government into believing that he was working as an Iranian spy,” by Louise Cheer, Lillian […]
Sydney siege jihadi to packed house at mosque: “Society should behave in an Islamic manner”
This story is an interesting example of how the mainstream media tries to obscure and downplay the nature and magnitude of the global jihad, and particularly to deny its Islamic character. We’re told that Man Haron Monis gave a lecture to a “packed prayer hall in Western Sydney.” Yet we’re also told that he was […]
Islamic State glorifies Sydney siege jihadi Man Haron Monis
Western authorities and the media establishment have hastened to assure us that Man Haron Monis was simply mentally ill, and that’s why he took hostages in the Lindt Chocolat Cafe and had some of them hold the black flag of jihad to the window. The Islamic State, however, has a different view. “Sydney siege gunman […]
Sydney jihadi’s ex-wife sought refuge in US before she was murdered
His next wife, who describes herself as a terrorist, is charged with the murder, and Monis was charged as an accessory. Khalik says: “He was abusing her, having her wear the hijab…” So here again we have an indication of how devout Man Haron Monis was in his observance of Islam. “Ex-Wife Of Sydney Gunman […]
Sydney jihadi’s wife praised 9/11, Bali jihad bombings, Holocaust
“Yes, we are happy about the punishment of September 11. Yes, we are happy about the punishment in Bali. Yes, we are happy about the punishment of the Holocaust and any other punishment that God sends to us.” This savagery is a knife held at the throat of the civilized world. “‘I regret to say […]
Sydney jihad hostage-taker was not on terror watch list
He was on bail for involvement in the honor murder of his ex-wife. He was charged with sexual assault. He had pleaded guilty to sending harassing letters to the families of Australian servicemen slain in Afghanistan. But none of that rose to any significant level of concern for Australian authorities — after all, they know […]
Video: Robert Spencer on Sun TV on the Sydney jihad hostage crisis

Sydney jihadi’s neighbors: he prayed loudly to Allah and threw garbage into their yard
It sounds as if Man Haron Monis had due contempt for the kuffar who are, according to the Qur’an, “unclean” (9:28), as well as being “the most vile of created beings” (98:6) and “the worst of beasts in the sight of Allah” (8:55). “Loud prayers to Allah and bags of rotting food over the fence: […]
Australia: 34-year-old man and 38-year-old woman dead, as well as jihadist gunman, in Sydney hostage crisis
The death toll grows. We heard earlier that a “number of people had been hit,” so the death toll may go higher still. AP has this: “Police say 34-year-old man and 38-year-old woman are among 3 dead in Sydney hostage crisis.” Time for another mainstream media story about “backlash” against Muslims. “Gunman and Two Others […]
Muslims in Australia say they fear Sydney jihad hostage crisis backlash
An hour and a half ago I wrote this: “There will also be a heavy barrage of ‘backlash’ stories — indeed, they have already begun.” And a bit before that: “The pattern never changes: in the wake of a jihad terror attack or plot, Muslims in the West do not do what they should do: […]
Sydney jihadist, one other person dead as police storm cafe to end jihad hostage crisis
“A Muslim community leader in Sydney, Dr. Jamal Rifi, said in a televised interview that ‘everything he stands for is wrong.’ ‘It has nothing to do with Islam as a religion whatsoever, and we have all seen that by his previous action and his current actions.’” His previous actions include involvement in an honor killing, […]
Sydney jihad hostage crisis over, “number of people have been hit”
Now that the worst is over, the Australian government and the international media can go into full “This has nothing to do with Islam” mode, with explanations of how Man Haron Monis was mentally ill, or driven to this by the evil deeds of Australian soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. There will also be a […]
Breaking: Shots fired in Sydney jihad hostage crisis
It is apparently over. More details as they become available. “Shots Fired in Sydney Hostage Situation,” Arutz Sheva, December 15, 2014: Multiple shots and/or bangs have been heard in Sydney outside the cafe where hostages are being held. The fire appears to be coming from police. ABC video: More hostages escape, police enter building “Gunshots […]
