Australia: Islamic Groups Claim Islam’s Got Nothing to Do With Islam

Imagine being part of a religion responsible for nearly 50.000 acts of terror around the world since 9/11, only to have the hide to go on a PR campaign claiming your religion’s got nothing to do with it:

Australian Islamic groups calls for revision of national terrorism laws

When an Islamic terrorist screams ‘allahuakbar’ we must not suspect him of being religiously motivated. Got it.?

An alliance of peak Islamic groups has called for Australia’s terrorism laws to be changed, to remove the concept of “religiously motivated terrorism” from the legislation.

In a statement, the Australian National Imams Council, the Alliance of Australian Muslims and the Australian Muslim Advocacy Network said it was necessary to “avoid simplistic attributions that target specific communities”.

Why is that ‘necessary?’

The group’s spokeswoman Ramia Abdo Sultan said terrorism was driven by political ideology and not religion.

Islam is a religious ideology. Terrorism & jihad is part of it.

“The presumption that terrorism is inherently tied to religion is not only inaccurate but harmful,” Ms Abdo Sultan told a press conference.

It’s not a presumption, it’s a fact. Knowing this is ‘harmful’ to whom?

“This misconception persists despite extensive scholarly work demonstrating that terrorism is driven by political and ideological motives, not religious faith.”

The ‘scholarly work’ of Islamic taqiyya gigolos is none of our concern. We rely on Islamic scriptures and the way Muslims understand their religion.

The alliance of Islamic groups did not take questions during the four minute press conference, telling the assembled media that they could submit questions by email.

Ms Abdo Sultan also singled out ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess and said the use of racial and religious profiling and the failure of law enforcement agencies to consult with the Muslim community further undermined social cohesion.

Islam is not a race. There is no ‘racial profiling’, but we must monitor the mosques. There is absolutely no need to “consult with the Muslim community” because they are trained to lie and to deceive infidels as part of their religion.

“The use of charged language such as “religiously motivated Sunni violent extremism” by the Director-General of ASIO Mike Burgess, particularly during sensitive times … fuels Islamophobia and further marginalises the Muslim community,” she said.

“Islamophobia” is an insult. Every Mohammedan is raised to see us as the enemy, so it is not our concern how ‘marginalised’ they are.

“This approach undermines social cohesion and perpetuates the stigmatisation of an entire religious group based on the actions of a few.”

All Mohammedans, like all dogs, share similar characteristics. Every act of terror is backed by the Islamic ummah, who glorify & justify it.

Mr Burgess said “Sunni violent extremism poses the greatest religiously motivated violent extremist threat in Australia”, in the ASIO Annual Threat Assessment on February 28.

“Sunni violent extremism” is a cowardly way of saying Mohammedans have to engage in jihad, which is a religious obligation for all.

A spokesperson for ASIO said the overarching descriptors of “ideologically motivated violent extremism” and “religiously motivated violent extremism” allowed accurate categorisation of security threats on the basis of their primary driver.

“ASIO’s subject matter experts have an extensive and detailed understanding of threats, and they concluded that individuals or groups who support violence to oppose or achieve a specific social, political or legal outcome based on a religious interpretation can appropriately and accurately be described as “religiously motivated”, they said in a statement.

“As the Director-General has consistently stated, ASIO does not investigate people because of their religious views – ASIO is concerned with actual or potential violence.”

It is the religious views that lead to violence.

‘Transparency and accountability’ 

The alliance of Islamic groups made the call in the wake of the stabbing of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel at the Assyrian Orthodox Christ The Good Shepherd Church at Wakeley, in Sydney’s south west, on April 15.

A 16-year-old boy was arrested at the church and charged with committing a terrorist act over the stabbing.

On Wednesday, about 400 officers from the Joint Counter-Terrorism Team (JCTT) raided 13 addresses across Sydney in connection with the stabbing, arresting seven young people and questioning a further five.

Five boys, aged 14 to 17, were charged with a range of offences, including conspiring to prepare or plan for a terrorist act.

Australian Federal Police Deputy Commissioner Krissy Barrett alleged on Wednesday the police operation uncovered “a network of associates and peers who … share a similar violent extremist ideology” as the alleged church attacker.

That “similar violent extremist ideology” is known as Islam.

But the alliance of Islamic groups today said the raids underscored “a concerning pattern of questionable law enforcement tactics”.

Islamic aggression is highly questionable and should be scrutinised.

Spokeswoman Ramia Abdo Sultan demanded government and law enforcement agencies commit to an immediate review of the processes leading up to the raids to ensure “transparency and accountability”.

“The lack of evidence pointing to a concrete threat or plan among these youths, as noted by senior police officials, calls into question both the necessity and the manner of these operations,” she said.

“This lack of transparency exacerbates the distress within our community.”

Poor little snowflakes. They demand to be informed before a raid?
