Every jihad attack is yet another opportunity for Muslim supremacists to pout and proselytize for Islam. Never is there self-reflection in the Muslim world or examination of the Islamic texts and teachings that exhort to jihad. Again we are told that Muslims are the true victims, and as if on cue, they post videos and memes decrying the infidel, the targets of mass murder.
“Sheik Mohammed Omran tells ‘bloody PM’ Morrison: ‘blame police … not us,’” by Chip Le Grand, The Australian, November 13, 2018:
The spiritual leader of the Islamic youth centre where Bourke Street terrorist Hassan Khalif Shire Ali attended prayer sessions has accused Scott Morrison of making the Muslim community a scapegoat to distract from the failure of police and intelligence services to prevent Friday’s attack.
Story continues below advertisementMohammed Omran, the emir of the Hume Islamic Youth Centre close to Shire Ali’s Meadow Heights home, dismissed the “bloody Prime Minister’s’’ call for imams to do more to stop Islamic extremists, saying the greatest power he had was to dial triple-0 when confronted with a threat.
The HIYC, a sprawling mosque, cafe, gym and bookstore in the Melbourne suburb of Coolaroo, has seen a procession of jihadists and would-be terrorists through its doors, including domestic terror plotters and suicide bombers who killed themselves in Iraq.
Sheik Omran — the most senior Australian figure in the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah movement, which adheres to a strict, salafist interpretation of Islam — said the “Prime Minister’’ needed to be accountable for the failure of government agencies before he blamed Islamic leaders.
“This person was on the watch list,’’ the sheik told The Australian. “So what did they do? Nothing.
“After he jumped in the street and started waving his knife to them — sometimes they are running after him and sometimes they are running after them, and even the public interfered to take his attention because the police, they couldn’t handle him.
“First, we want to be really truthful with each other. This bloody Prime Minister, instead of turning the heat on somebody else, he should answer us about what he did.
“He has spent billions of dollars — billions — on security service. And what is the end result? We have crazy people in the street.’’
Mr Morrison has urged imams to identify “infiltrators’’ in their mosques and to be more alert for and proactive towards any signs of radicalisation….
Sheik Omran’s outburst at the Prime Minister comes as The Australian can reveal that Shire Ali’s partner, who has been radicalised, is not co-operating with investigators trying to reconstruct the terrorist’s last movements.
The Australian understands the woman is being closely monitored by members of the national intelligence community as they attempt to piece together the last movements of Shire Ali.
The woman, believed to be aged in her 20s, is considered crucial to investigations but is not helping national security officials determine why Shire Ali stabbed three people and tried to set off a car-bomb in Melbourne.
The Prime Minister’s forceful rhetoric was aimed squarely at imams he believed were “looking the other way’’ when confronted with extremism in their mosques….
Sheik Omran said he didn’t believe the Bourke Street attack was an act of terrorism. “If this man was a Christian he would not be called a terrorist,’’ Sheik Omran said.
The sheik’s spokesman, Mustafa Abu Yusuf, said religious leaders at the youth centre were already reporting to police signs of radicalisation but police had appeared unwilling to follow up this information.
“We report it to police and they give it lip-service,’’ he said.
Mr Yusuf said the political response to the Bourke Street attack wasn’t helpful to people working on the “frontline’’ with marginalised Muslim youths.
He said the budget priority given to policing and intelligence gathering, rather than to youth work, was a failed strategy. “They don’t fund us, they don’t want to talk to us directly,” Mr Yusuf said.
“No one from the Prime Minister’s office or any conservative minister wants to talk to us. Talk to us about how we can solve the problem. They are not interested.
“It is not helpful to people (who) work on the frontlines with these kids. We have an open-door policy. When these kids come in you have a chance to connect, you have a chance to correct their judgment. What they are doing now is not working.
“At least get out of our way. Let us deal with this these kids. They are misguided.’’
Shire Ali’s parents, Somali refugees who have lived in Australia for 20 years, regularly attended the moderate Virgin Mary Mosque in Werribee.
Counter-terrorism investigators believe that Shire Ali, who was radicalised in the early years of the Syrian conflict, had in more recent years attended prayer sessions at the HIYC….
Sheik Omran, who had a difficult relationship with John Howard and Tony Abbott during their terms as prime minister, does not recall meeting Shire Ali, but said it would be unsurprising if he had attended the youth centre.
“Let’s say he came here every day, five times a day,” Sheik Omran said.
“What does that mean?
“Let’s say they are coming here. Why not? This is the youth centre. If it is possible for me to get everyone from the street and put them here I will. This is my job, to bring people from the street, from the drugs, to the mosque.
“They came here and they came to hundreds of places. They gather in McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried Chicken, they gather in so many mosques. I am not blaming the mosque. The maximum authority we have is to call triple-0 when we have something we think he is a suspect.
“They said he was known to us and was on a watch list. They need us to tell them more?’’

Only way to handle moslem terrorists ain’t a pretty sight. At least to moslems it ain’t. A moslem is a moslem is a moslem. They are ALL the same.

I was thinking more along the lines of “re-honing” them. Polish ’em down to the bone.

Sickening. They blame YOU for the outcome of their preaching!
I’d bet not one Imam has ever ratted on a devout Muslim that did something and they know who is about to do something in their congregation. They can’t because terrorism to the unbeliever is what ISLAM TEACHES!
What a lowly arrogant POS. It’s not Christians that are terrorists!

These jihadis must be crazy. when they are allowed to immigrate , get freebies as jizya why do they need to do violent jihad ?
But this Moderate jihadi at Huff post uses some Al-taqiya about Jesus and wants you to give “al your money and home to those in need (muslims)” https://tinyurl.com/ybxxx2q4
what do you think ?

He is right. It’s westerners’ fault for not paying enough welfare, housing, mosques, free money to muslims.

He is absolutely correct. What is the point of a police force when you let a foreign criminal organization walk around in broad daylight every day?

AND, IF the police had stepped in BEFORE the attack, they would have been accused of “profiling”, picking on him because he was Muslim &/or black, etc, etc, etc. It’s called a NO WIN situation! And, the head of the Local Muslim organization would have been staging marches in the streets!

If Islam was the ROP then there would not be any problem would there? The vast majority of terrorists are ‘radicalised’ by what they hear from their clerics in the mosques

In one way the imam is right!…….
He was on a watchlist and they DID NOTHING!
Why didn’t they cancel the bastards visa?
( and every other muslim scum-shite on the watchlist who is on a temporary visa?)
Yeah, sorry old mukka, you’ve failed the good character test and will now be deported immediately. APPEAL?
Yes, yes there IS an avenue of appeal open to you….but it must be lodged in person, by you from the country to which you’re being deported TO, which is handy ’cause you’re on the next flight there!???? Your appeal will then be promptly dealt with and you should have your final decision within 21….YEARS ( and the answer will be NO, your appeal has been dismissed but you can then RE- Submit a second appeal in ten years, processing time is similar to your first appeal)

Quite seriously, he’s telling you that muslims only respect strength.
This is something most in the west have forgotten or ignored.
This is why Saddam Hussein needed to be left in power.
Same with Ghadaffi
Same with Bashar al Assad, we still havent learnt.
And we certainly haven’t learnt regarding taking in muslims to the west when there is no earthly need to do so WHATSOEVER.
THEY OFFER NOTHING POSITIVE and PLENTY NEGATIVE.
