The potential of the attack is catastrophic. This is a person who has expressed an intention to try and kill as many people as he could. It’s horrendous.”
Last December, the Geller Report had the story of a massive jihad terror plot thwarted in Melbourne, Australia. And now here is another jihad plot, this year. There is likely to be another one next Christmas as well. How many more do there have to be before Australian authorities get a clue and realize that as long as there is a Muslim presence in the country, there will be jihad? How long before they start to call upon the Muslims in Australia to work for real reform and expunge the Quran of the texts that call for violence, misogyny, Jew-hatred, kaffir-hatred, and the like?
The same questions go for every Western country. But there don’t seem to be any answers. The West is sleepwalking to its own destruction.

“Man arrested over alleged Melbourne New Year’s Eve terror plot for Federation Square,” by Anthony Colangelo and Nino Bucci, The Age, November 28, 2017:
A young man has been arrested after allegedly planning to carry out a terrorist attack with an automatic rifle at Melbourne’s Federation Square on New Year’s Eve.
The 20-year-old man, who lives with his parents and siblings in Werribee, was allegedly planning to shoot and kill as many people as he could in an attack.
Victoria Police deputy commissioner Shane Patton said a Australian-born 20-year-old sought to purchase, but did not acquire, an automatic weapon to carry out the attack.
He was arrested by heavily armed police on Synnot Street, Werribee, in front of shocked bystanders on Monday afternoon.
Victoria Police deputy commissioner Shane Patton said the man, an Australian-born Muslim with Somali parents, tried to buy an automatic firearm through “face to face interactions” but was ultimately unsuccessful.
The 20-year-old man was arrested on Synnot Street in Werribee on Monday.
“The potential of the attack is catastrophic. This is a person who has expressed an intention to try and kill as many people as he could. It’s horrendous,” Mr Patton told reporters on Tuesday.
“We have been monitoring him for a very lengthy period of time.
The family’s home is being searched by police after his place of work, a computer business in Footscray, and a relative’s home in Meadow Heights were inspected on Monday.
On Tuesday morning, the man’s father spoke briefly to media from the front yard of his brick veneer home.
He denied his son would have harmed anyone, and then quickly went back inside, where police are still searching.
“He’s very innocent,” the man’s father said.
A neighbour said the “beautiful family” had lived in the house for at least a decade.
“They’re just lovely, everyday, people,” she said.
The suspect was allegedly planning to shoot and kill as many people as he could in Federation Square.
The man’s father had apologised to her on Tuesday morning for the hassle regarding the arrest.
“I believe he didn’t know anything,” the neighbour said. “I just felt like he was more heartbroken.”

The neighbour arrived home on Monday afternoon after picking up her daughter from school to find eight to 10 police cars lining the street.
“It was quite frightening.”
The 20-year-old man was arrested on the corner of Synnot and Bridge streets in Werribee, which is a shopping area one street behind the suburb’s main retail strip, just after 3pm on Monday.
The owner of Wix Computers in Footscray, where the accused man worked, said 10 to 12 police officers stormed the store on Monday and took a computer, a hard drive and CCTV footage from the shop.
He described the man as a quiet boy who did work experience at the store for about two to three hours at a time, sometimes one or twice a week, sometimes less.
“He was a very, very quiet boy. He never spoke much. It was a shock,” the owner said.
The owner said he had met the young man’s father at a mosque in Hoppers Crossing.
His father wanted him to do work experience so he could go to university next year and eventually get a job in the computer industry.
The young man was in possession of an al-Qaeda guidebook on how to carry out terrorist attacks and is an Islamic State sympathiser, police allege.
“He has accessed documents produced by al-Qaeda Arabian Peninsula … a guidebook in respect to how to commit a terrorist act and also how to use firearms, guns and handguns and rifles,” Mr Patton said.
“He is associated with other persons in the Victorian extremists community … it is a very small community of extremists.
“This is a person who would become particularly energised when overseas events occurred. He expressed a great amount of interest in committing an attack himself.”
Mr Patton reassured the community the man was acting alone and no threats were ongoing.
“We are not looking for any other suspects,” he said.
Authorities are still investigating how the young Werribee man became radicalised, Mr Patton said.
Police do not believe he is linked to any mosques in Melbourne. They would not reveal if his family or friends knew of his intentions….

Nothing to see here. Just move on. He simply needs to be shown kindness and love .. You know, the error of his ways. I am certain that his parents will say that he is a good boy that would never harm anyone.

This kindness needs to be repaid with a lifelong supply of incarceration in solitary.

Left/Liberal/feminazis will impose sharia everywhere if there is no resistance to such stupidity. Just like they banning a Model on Instagram for being too hot and sexy http://bit.ly/2v09Kyv

Hello, michael schimanski. I must take exception with your comment. The truth is, moslems are not pigs. Rather, they (moslems) are the descendants of the cross-breeding of monkeys WITH pigs.

It’s gonna go ballistic at the next Federal election when the Government falls and we run the real risk of a governing socialist/green alliance. Our closets neighbour Indonesia is the staging point for illegal arrivals of boat people and they will come en masse. 50 000 came last time and we are still dealing with that debacle via Mannis Island (the one’s Trump didn’t want) and of course the one’s who were allowed to stay. We are doomed to make the same mistakes as Europe and Canada
