Australia: "Nobody is too young for jihad!"

Muslim Girl, 8, calls on Islamic youth to back jihad

“Our dead are in paradise, your dead are in hell”.  

AS Julia Gillard struggled to explain how Muslim children could be used to incite violence, eight-year-old Ruqaya yesterday fronted a congress of Islamic fundamendalists in Sydney to espouse her love for jihad.  (Jared Owens, The Australian)

“Nobody is too young too jihad”

Weakness of the elites no response to militant Islam

The Gillard goose responds:

“This is not the Australian way.

“We believe in freedom of religion and we believe that every religion should be treated with respect.”

Hizb ut-Tahrir is an international political movement devoted to restoring a caliphate, the last of which collapsed in the 1920s. The caliphate would also threaten Western nations with jihad if they did not prevent their citizens from defaming the Prophet Mohammed or Islam.

Protesters Militant Islamic headbangers march through Sydney on Saturday as a wave of unrest against a film that mocks Islam spread to Australia, bringing hundreds out to demonstrate

There’s an unwillingness to tackle the elephant in the room. Many would see it as a failure to defend our values and condemn alternative ones. This is weakness.

Our “policies and priorities” – our values –must be clear.  They must be defended, not compromised in the name of a fictional, temporary appeasement.

Top Australian Muslim leader (sort of) condemns more violence as police remain on red alert to stop Sydney riots spreading to Melbourne

Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) Secretary Sheik Mohamadu Saleem said he would personally discourage Victorian Muslims from demonstrating but said he was powerless to stop them.
