HIT THE ROAD, JIHADI BOYS
Australia is home to some 400 people whose views are so extreme they are considered potential terror threats. For this reason, they have found themselves included on ASIO watch lists.

Makes no sense but that’s the market, folks….
The father of two men accused of plotting a terrorist attack has been revealed as an outspoken Turkish-born Muslim who earlier called for the imposition of Sharia.
Dad of terror suspects speaks out: ‘My sons are good men’
the father of two men charged over a terror plot in Melbourne says his sons are “good men” who wouldn’t even know how to use a weapon.
Armagan Eriklioglu told reporters outside his Campbellfield home in Melbourne’s north that his sons were not aggressive.
“They don’t even know how to use a weapon,” Mr Eriklioglu told Fairfax media on Tuesday.
‘Dad’ is lying. He was the driving force behind them. He is the guy who demanded sharia law in Australia, for years.
Former friend recalls sudden and ‘absurd’ change in terror suspect
Up until last year, Hanifi Halis was on track to finish a university degree and become a sports scientist — and wanted to look good at all times.
Then, according to one of his closest friends, he met a new group of mates who brought him into the Hume Islamic Youth Centre in Melbourne’s northern suburbs and he began a new exploration of his religion.
The change was a shock to the friend, who had known Halis, now 21, since they were both in primary school. “He quit uni, his job and his ambitions to study a form of Islam that HIYC practises,” the friend, who asked not to be identified, told The Australian.
“(He) tried to get me to come and deleted his social media and moved houses. So we lost contact.”
He knew nothing of what had happened to his friend until he saw the images of Halis emerge from court, along with brothers Ertunc, 30, and Samed Eriklioglu, 26, after being charged over an alleged terrorist plot this week. “I was blown away by what happened, someone so close to you changes so fast and becomes an alleged terrorist,” he said. “Seeing him walking into the cop car after court was just absurd. I feel for his family.”
Halis’s father, Salih, yesterday defended his son. “Our son is innocent,” Mr Halis said. “He comes from a good family.”
Sure. The old jihadist gives himself the seal of approval. We need to get these people OUT!
