Christchurch mosque linked to al-Qaeda

34

It is of no import that the gunman was a left-wing eco-facsist who loved Red China. The New Zealand tragedy is being exploited to shut down free speech and silence any criticism of jihad and sharia oppression. Or that we abhor violence and have never called for it. Attacks like this against the mosque, are thankfully, quite rare. Jihad terror, on the other hand, roils the free world. And yet never do we hear after jihad attacks that Islamic texts and teachings must be purged of the exhortations to jihad and incitement to murder.

According to a report on stuff.co.nz, two Islamic militants were killed in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen in 2013. The parents of one of the jihadis killed in a US drone strike say their son was “radicalized” in the Christchurch, New Zealand mosque that was attacked by gunman Brenton Harrison Tarrant.

Clover Chronicle:After hearing about the allegations that two of their members were introduced to radical Islam in Christchurch, the mosque’s leaders immediately responded by saying they were moderate and not extremist.

Per the article on stuff.co.nz:

Australian Christopher Havard, 27, and dual New Zealand-Australian national Daryl Jones were killed by a missile fired by a US drone in November, 2013.

Australia’s ABC news yesterday reported the pair had been on an Australian Federal Police watchlist because of their links to al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) terror group.

Havard and Jones – who went by the name Muslim bin John – reportedly met in Christchurch after Havard converted to Islam.

Havard’s mother and stepfather, Bronwen and Neill Dowrick, said their son joined the local mosque and told them that was where he first encountered radical Islam.

In an interview with ABC news, Havard’s parents said when he first started visiting mosque, he “realized what they were trying to convert people to.”

At the time, the imam of the Christchurch mosque, Hisham el Zeiny, said he had not seen any signs of radical Islam being taught to their members. Instead, he believed Havard and Jones were most likely radicalized on the internet, where it was “easy to stray.”

Mohamed Jama, the president of the Muslim Association of Canterbury, said Havard was “always in the mosque” during the time he lived in Christchurch and seemed “normal.”

The article continues:

Dr Mohammad Alayan, a former senior member of the Christchurch Mosque, said claims of radical Islam in Christchurch were “not true.”

“The mosque in Christchurch is very against that. Islam is all about peace.”

Farid Ahmed, who delivers weekly sermons at the mosque, said he was “disturbed” by the allegations and worried about the effect it could have on how people perceived the Muslim community.

“I don’t believe it. Our community here, most of them are refugees; I myself came from Bangladesh 26 years ago. We are very grateful because this country opened their hearts to us.”

Radical speakers could be found online but such material “has nothing to do with the mosque or the mosque community,” he said.

“If [Havard’s family] have any evidence they should provide it so we can deal with it, because we want to stop it.”

During a speech, New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said while he did not believe radical Islam existed in Christchurch, Security and Intelligence Services (SIS) officers were on site (at the time) to monitor any possible leads.

Christchurch mosque linked to al-Qaida suspect

NewsHub, April 2014,

A Christchurch mosque has been linked to the drone killing of New Zealand al-Qaida suspect Daryl Jones.

The parents of an Australian killed alongside Jones say their son was taught radical Islam in Christchurch, where he also met Mr Jones.

Christopher Havard was killed alongside Mr Jones by a US drone in Yemen last year.

His parents, Neill and Bronwyn Dowrick, say their son told them he was first taught radical Islam at the Al Noor mosque in Addington.

Mr Havard moved from Australia to New Zealand in 2010. He’s remembered at the mosque by the name of Saleem Khattab.

“[He was] no different than other people,” says mosque president Mohamed Jama. “He was a normal man.”

Mr Havard’s parents say it’s at the mosque he met fellow convert Mr Jones, who was known at Muslim Bin John.

But the mosque can’t remember Mr Jones, and denies teaching radical Islam.

It seems Kiwi spies may have had the mosque under surveillance.

“I’m not going to go into the individual entities or the operations that the SIS or the GCSB conducted,” says Prime Minister John Key.

Australian Federal Police (AFP) began an investigation into Mr Havard’s possible involvement in an alleged al-Qaida kidnapping of three westerners in Yemen.

Documents show, “Mr Havard and Mr Nin John were of long-standing interest to the AFP due to their assessed activities in Yemen liked to al-Qaida”.

All that’s known of Mr Jones is that he was 31 years old, a joint New Zealand-Australian citizen, and his family are still here.

These are the same denials we got in Boston when it was discovered that the Tsarnaev brothers were “radicalized” (not that it took much) in a branch mosque of the Muslim Brotherhood-linked Islamic Society of Boston. There should be videos made of the sermons in these mosques and they should be broadcast on the evening news, but of course that will never happen, not even at FOX.

Videos of call-to-Jihad sermons at mosques -are- recorded and translated by the MEMRI organisation. Their latest exposure is of an anti-Semitic sermon delivered at a Philadelphia mosque. But of course no media organization has the stones to show them.

Its the Pro-jihadi Left and jihadis who are using “islamophobia” B.S to prevent exposure of their crimes and anti-semitism. Ever heard of Naziphobia during WW 2 ? So why are jihadi crimes to be covered up by fake Islamophobia B.S ?

Media is also not covering the Yellow vest against Left/liberal high tax and criminal immigration policies https://tinyurl.com/y3ty7noq

And will hype up one lone attack in Nz by frustrated guy fed up with same policies !

But blame Right wing , Trump or Chelsea clinton for it ! Time to call their bluff or it will get worse .

Not exactly. There’s no such thing as moderate Islam. There are plenty of Muslims who are “moderates.” In fact, most Muslims are moderates. That’s because they don’t practice true Islam. And that means they don’t engage in jihad. There are four kinds of jihad: speech, writing, money, and sword (violence). All true Muslims practice at least one kind because that’s required. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are good Muslims because they engage in the first three forms of jihad, and the purpose of all four forms of jihad is to promote, spread, and establish Sharia. Omar and Tlaib are jihadists. And jihad is treason.

You can never know which side of the line they are on. The Q’uran says they can skip prayers, lie, cheat, drink, or whatever so long as what they do is for the purpose of advancing Islam. So, if a Muslim tells you he is against radicals and terrorism, he could either be telling the truth and violating his faith, or he can be lying in support of his faith. How could anyone vote to put a Muslim into Congress? The ones there now have proven their disdain for the USA.

The supreme hatred of Talmudic Judaism is reserved for and directed against the hated “adherers to the text” of Scripture who are, thus, accused of spurning the words of the Pharisee “Sages,” as enshrined in the Babylonian Talmud. These “adherers” to the Bible are classified as the primary enemies of Judaism. They are all “idolators,” “heathen,” “goy.” They rank not only as animals — like the rest of the non-Jewish human race, but as the lowest and most despised form of life. The Talmud frequently refers to Bible adherents scathingly as “Samaritans” and “Cutheans,” phraseology similarly used to excoriate Christians.

The ultimate object of hatred in Talmudic Judaism is Christ, and the targets of Talmudic hatred are not just Gentile non-Jews, “the people who are like an ass — slaves who are considered the property of the master” (Talmud, Kethuboth 111a). Of these non-Jews, the Christians are most insanely hated and loathed because their doctrines are the opposite of every Talmudic doctrine. They rank not just as animals, like the rest of non-Talmudic humanity, but almost as vermin, to be eradicated. Language in the Talmud is virtually exhausted to find foul and hated names for Christ

So do all conservative religions that teach of hate of others with different ideas and lifestyle. The ones that promote hate and dehumanizing of people that are different and label others. This is what Evangelicals ..have in common with the other. They breed extremists.

The kids can’t help that they are being used, the women can’t do much more about it, but the men will reap what they sow if they keep calling for the subjugation of everyone who will not accept Islam and excusing the initiation of force and violence in its name. If people refuse to understand that and keep drinking the “religion of peace” koolaid and trying to shut down rational criticism it will be left to the crazies to ignore who is and is not innocent and resort to violence as this one did. Either the Left does not understand that or it does not want to recognize it. My bet is on the latter.

Create the problem – let it boil – step in with “solution”. You’re absolutely right the “Left” (especially the string pullers) needs this kind of chaos to bring in more “jackboot” tactics – silencing the outspoken, stripping rights, and moving the Agenda along.

They knew well in advance that the “migration” of this culture by the millions, into western culture, would cause exactly the kind of havoc it has – it suits their already stated purposes. The casualties along the way is just the cost of doing THEIR business, and they could not care less.

None of the facts will be divulged by the MSM or governments’ regarding the Mosque’s alliance with Al Qaeda, or the ‘shooter was a left-wing Eco-fascist who loved China. It has become a catalyst to condemn all those of conservative values branding them as Right-Wing extremists. It has already begun within the worldwide .propaganda factories of the Western faux-Democracies’ MSM. The Leftist-Progressives-Fascists thrive on the Big-Lie; deceptive machination is a keystone of the Leftist’s ideology. Truth and Leftism are incompatible; it is proven true throughout history.

Americans have witnessed the Left’s diabolical machination succeed throughout the EU, Britain, Canada, and other nations; it is, now, nearing fulfillment in America. Bent on America’s ruination, the Democrats, Progressives, Globalists, and Islam are working hand-in-hand to achieve their ultimate objective, this Republic’s downfall.

Ziggy46- excellent post! With you all of the way. But I guess you will agree that many of us are aware of the massive problems we are facing – but VERY FEW come up with anything bordering on a practical way out. Whilst the Muslims/Islam are becoming more entrenched we are falling apart at the seams. With Governments of the kind we have here in the U.K., the only way is DOWN. They are the most despicable bunch imaginable – whichever
Party they claim to represent they are for the most part weasels, cowards and potential traitors. Probably that is because so many of them are, or have been, lawyers and similar leeches. So – we must have a way out of the quagmire- my money was on President Trump, but he has at most two or three years during which he will be effective. More’s the pity. SOLUTIONS ANYBODY? (A stunned silence descended upon the World of the Internet – and the cursing and wearing continued unabated.

Paulus, thanks, you’re post, also, is excellent… I am not shooting for Brownie points. The reason, your post speaks the truth, and asks an elementary question, Solutions Anybody? I agree wholeheartedly, also, regarding the despicable political Parties claiming to represent their constituents. Whether in the U.S., the EU, the UK and others most are or have been lawyers. You are a man of my thinking. As I sit at the keyboard pounding out my thoughts, opinions but as most hold no solution.

Indeed, Trump is being rendered nearly ineffective by the Democrats and others within in his Party. If Trump were to part the Red Sea, he would face utter condemnation by the ruling treasonous lunatics throughout the Faux-Western Democracies, especially in the Republic. Indeed, I am sitting in stunned silence,as the solutions some may choose to counter or pluck ourselves from the quagmire would be extreme but necessary. My intention is not to legitimize the recent violence in NZ; however, the solution is beyond complicated if we are to end this never-ending feeding frenzy of mass-murder, Jew-Hatred, Christian-Hatred, the pro-Jihad, and so-forth. Methinks, I have lost my mind… I just confirmed it, arriving, as said,at No Solution. Thanks, you got my mind out of rut, perhaps only momentarily.

I love to hear a Muslim say Islam is all about peace. Fortunately most of us know all too well that is pure B.S. and a lie. Islam is totally wicked and evil. It should never be permitted in any way shape or form into a civilized society or country.
The terror attack that happened in N.Z. has horrible as it is, is something Muslims do on a regular basis worldwide. The Religion of Peace is nothing more than the Religion of Murder and Terror.
There are no moderate Muslims.
Their teaching forbids it.
There are only Muslims who have not yet joined in the terror.
Most lend support to terrorists with financial aid.

That’s a lie! The Aussie who did the shooting has admitted that he did it hoping Americans would start a civil war. Aussies have thought that, since having their guns taken away, America with it’s 2nd amendment, was the last hope for the world.

No change here then! Insults and blanket condemnation – together with ancient
hatred which you perpetuate. Not a SINGLE cogent argument to support your vitriolic post. One day perhaps you will move your arguments, vapid as they are, into the modern era. Typical of Islamic antiquated prejudices and introverted veiled threats. Of course , according to your assessment every black and follower of Islam is a blameless, peaceful saintly being – never harmed a soul, never profited from your own, and Islam’s, beastly slave trade which is well documented in history. You are fortunate to have access to more peaceful and reasonable religions than Animism or Islam – namely Christianity, wherein you will find the wisdom of the one named Jesus (No, I am NOT a practising Christian!) who urged us – ” You who have not sinned – cast the first stone”. You speak of reading the Koran. Well, let me enlighten you. Every Muslim , from the earliest age, is FORCED to read that dreadful ‘publication’ – and the result? Every one who reads it is a ready-made racist, radical and potential terrorist. Don’t tell US to read it! Most of us who post here HAVE read it, or at least made it our reference point. And WHAT did we find? Double talk, contradictions, racism supreme, threats of death and destruction for having a mind of our own, which OUR God has bequeathed unto us – free-will. You have a lot to learn, and it seems, a lot to UNLEARN. My blessings to you come with the sincere hope that you will …………Grow up and Move on. NOT an inkling of any Islamic curse or threat of death in that!
