HATE-filled messages on a Muslim website claim an alleged plot to attack an Australian army base would have been justified. And Somali community leaders have branded police as terrorists in the wake of this week’s anti-terror swoop.
Abdurahman Osman, a leader of Melbourne’s 15,000 strong Somali community, said police acted unreasonably.
“What do you call waking people up at four in the morning with guns?” he said. “It is the police themselves that are the terrorists…
Mr Osman’s outburst came as a prominent Muslim website featured a photograph of Australian soldiers in uniform with the caption: “Real Australian terrorists.”
Well, I guess we have to learn from the dhimmified Brits how to conduct “Muslim friendly police raids”
More Update: Osman is president of the Somali Community. Why did the Victorian Multicultural Commission last year give $2500to an organisation whose president calls our police “terrorists”?
Indeed, what benefit to taxpayers – and to community harmony and integration – has been achieved with this spending:
The Victorian Multicultural Commission has provided 105 grants totalling $222,710 to Somali community organisations since 1999. The grants range from $14 000 for an orientation program for newly arrived refugees to many smaller grants for projects including festivals, office equipment, publications, community leadership training and professional development programs.
No Backlash makes Muslims more Belligerent:
In Wednesday’s court hearings, two of the accused men refused to stand for the magistrate, claiming they’d stand only for their god. In a courtroom packed with family, friends and supporters, several women refused to stand as ordered, too, and one man wore a soccer top with “mujahid”—or holy warrior – emblazoned on the back.
Reporters were abused as “dickheads” and “faggots”, and several of the accused men’s supporters defied orders to turn off their mobile phones in court. One waved a newspaper at Yacqub Khayre to show him his picture.
At a private meeting at Coburg Town Hall between police and Somali and Lebanese “leaders” (are we now so divided?) the mood was reportedly only marginally less belligerent.
The president of the Somali Community in Australia, Abdurahman Osman, despite criticising fundamentalism, accused the police of “hiding something” and said he doubted the need to arrest “these children”, warning that feelings in his community were “very bad”.
Others attacked the media and said – probably with reason, sadly – they feared a backlash.
(Sounds more like a threat/ed)
Even Berhan Ahmed, chairman of the African Think Tank and Victorian of the Year, saw in the raids a failing in Australian society.
Yes, he wrote in The Age, terrorism was bad, and most Muslims here rejected it. But look at the causes.
And most of the causes he then listed were not ones buried in Islamic, Lebanese or Somali culture, but in Western failures.
For instance, Ahmed blamed “the present economic climate” for making “some young people . . . marginalised and disaffected” – as if Muslim radicalism broke out only last year.
When it comes down to Allah or Soccer in Germany Allah will lose, Big Time!
For Muhammedans, nothing has changed in 1400 years…
Keysar wants to breed some more…
