Jihadism and mental illness are not mutually exclusive

Rita Panahi: Victoria Police playing politics over Flinders Street attack

THE CCTV footage of a white Suzuki SUV ploughing into pedestrians at a busy Melbourne intersection is sickening.

If you haven’t seen it, I’d encourage you not to seek it out.

For the tens of thousands of us who regularly cross that intersection it was a sobering reminder that anyone, including our loved ones, could become the victim of a cowardly attack.

Mere hours after the “deliberate act” of violence, before even interviewing the alleged assailant, Victoria Police advised media that the Flinders Street attack was not terror-related.

We were told that the alleged driver, Saeed Noori, was believed to be an ice addict with mental health issues.

It looked a lot like the police playing politics.

How can Victoria Police dismiss the terror angle before speaking to the alleged attacker? And, how does the diagnosis of a mental health issue discount the possibility of terrorism?

Jihadism and mental illness are not mutually exclusive. The embrace of violent ideology is a sign of mental instability.

Rita Panahi just declared 1.5 billion Muslims mentally unstable. The ideology is the same all around the world. All Muslims must believe in jihad, sharia, Islamic supremacy & subjugation of the unbelievers.

Indeed, anyone who thinks killing innocent civilians is a great way to advance a political or religious cause is mentally unsound.

Mohammedan warfare is based on that concept. Muhammad did it. He was the perfect man. Every Mohammedan must emulate him.

Authorities appear eager to dismiss terrorism before they’ve had a chance to properly investigate the crime and determine the motivations, if any, of the offender.

Its Official: Melbourne’s Vehicle Jihad Has Nothing To Do With Islam

For the second time this year, Mohammedans, soldiers of allah, have driven cars into shoppers walking through the centre of Melbourne. On both occasions we have been told that the perps had “mental problems”, not  jihad afflictions.

Flinders St attacker Saeed Noori rambled about Allah and the nation’s top security agency after mowing down 18 people.

How can Victoria Police dismiss the terror angle before even speaking to the alleged attacker? And, how does the diagnosis of a mental health issue discount the possibility of terrorism?

MELBOURNE ATTACKER ANOTHER MUSLIM REFUGEE

The last four terrorist attacks here have all been by Muslim refugees. Now add this:

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull today confirmed that the driver in the Melbourne rampage, Saeed Noori, was a refugee who came through the normal legal process.

The previous terrorist attacks by Muslim refugees:

ASIO boss Duncan Lewis[this year] told a Senate committee on oath: “I have absolutely no evidence to suggest there is a connection between refugees and terrorism.”

But last [June], Somali-born Yacqub Khayre became the latest refugee to prove him wrong.

Khayre murdered a worker at a Melbourne apartment block, held a woman hostage and shot three police after telling Channel 7: “This is for IS, this is for al-Qaeda.”

That makes four terrorist attacks in a row here by Muslim refugees, after Man Monis killed two people in the Lindt Cafe siege, Farhad Jabar murdered police accountant Curtis Cheng and Numan Haider stabbed two police in Melbourne.

Add the high crime rates by Muslim Lebanese and Sudanese families, many brought out as refugees, and we must ask if our refugee program is remotely sane.

HOW MANY MENTALLY ILL JAPANESE RUN DOWN PEDESTRIANS?

Police won’t call the Muslim Afghan who ran down people in Melbourne a terrorist: 

He is a person who is known to have a mental illness. In fact, he was on a mental health treatment plan and missed an appointment yesterday.

Could well be true. But I have a question.

Japan has very few Muslims. How many mentally ill people there run down pedestrians?

UPDATE

Reader Antony has background to underline the point:

Japan has a very high level of mental health problems.

It’s been 22 years since Japan’s last big terrorist attack.

Other parts if the world, though, seem to have a lot of attacks.

But it’s not terrorism

Charles Pier Spectator Australia 22 December 2017

From The Age this morning: The horrific attack on pedestrians at a busy intersection in Melbourne’s CBD is not believed to be terror-related, Victoria Police have said. But the man suspected of having carried it out has told investigating officers of voices and dreams and referred to a “perceived mistreatment of Muslims”…

On Thursday afternoon, the driver, a 32-year-old Australian citizen of Afghan descent, was arrested at the scene…

Police investigators were able to speak with the alleged driver from his hospital bed on Thursday night, Victoria Police Acting Chief Commissioner Shane Patton said, where he “made a number of utterances” about dreams, voices, and the “poor treatment of Muslims”…

Melbourne “Incident nothing to do with Islam”

Here’s the motive:

The new word for  IslamicTerrorism is now Mental Health. No disrespect to anyone suffering from it.

People are becoming increasingly irritated with “move along, nothing to see here” statements from top police and politicians. News this morning reports that the perpetrator had drug addiction and “was unhappy at the mistreatment of Muslims. ”

Terrorism in Melbourne, Once Again

Another day, another terror attack, this time yet again on the busy streets of Melbourne. So far at least 14 people have been taken to hospital for treatment after a speeding SUV ploughed down crowds of pedestrians ….. – CultureWatch

Reminder:

Martin Place. Man Monis. In all media reports he was not an Islamic terrorist. Until the Coroner, who heard all evidence, decided that he was.

Just an “incident”, nothing to do with Islam:

Acting Commissioner Shane Patton says investigators have not yet determined any extremist or terrorist links to yesterday’s incident in Melbourne.

ALL THAT MATTERS

Shortly prior to yesterday’s Melbourne savagery, Mark Steyn posted a piece that – as so often happens with Mark – turned out to be remarkably prescient.

Steyn wrote:

I’m increasingly bored by the daily soap opera of politics, mainly because professional politicians rarely have anything to say about anything that matters.

The left nominally addresses the Great Remaking of the World – from mass immigration to transgender bathrooms – by confining itself to a few bogus sentimentalist bromides (“We’ve always been a nation of immigrants”, “Love wins”) designed to assure everyone that a) “diversity lotteries” and chain migration are a good thing; and, if you’re minded to bring up problematic details, b) it’s inevitable, so don’t bother trying to resist.

The right, on the other hand, is terrified of being demonized as racist, homophobic and whatever’snextophobic, and so finds it safer to talk about corporate tax rates.

For my own part, I’m inclined to agree with Ann Coulter: “Everyone who screwed the pooch on this one better realize fast: All that matters is immigration.”

Please read on.

UPDATE. Further from Steyn:

That’s the scene in Melbourne. At street level, the area is cordoned off. Thousands of law-abiding citizens are disrupted in their daily business by an Australian citizen “of Afghan descent and mentally ill”.

At the far corner, that’s St Paul’s Cathedral. Can you see the banner they’re displaying three days before Christmas? Anything about Jesus? Christianity? No. Instead:

In that post-Christian void – the shell of a church with faith in everything but itself – a very merry Muslim Christmas makes a perverted kind of sense.

Theresa May FAILED to support the USA to placate the Muslim Mafia in the UK – appeasing for votes. Treacherous.

“The Polish government is guilty of backsliding on the rule of law and undermining European democratic values”

What law and what are European democratic values? The people of Europe never voted for their own replacement, no one had a democratic choice in importing millions of unassimilable Mohammedan savages, and Poles, along with the Hungarians, made it clear that Islam will not replace Europe’s Judeo-Cristian values.  Guy Verhofstadt is way out of line. But so are all of the unelected communist apparatchiks  that run the EUSSR in Brussels.

The EU’s conception of “democracy” is identical to North Korea’s. A top down dictatorship professing to represent “the people.”

ACTUAL democracy is called “far right” or “populist” and is to be condemned and dismissed in favour of the former.

Update:

Theresa May refuses to criticise Poland’s slide into authoritarianism, despite EU warning ‘entire structure of the justice system’ is under threat

As Theresa May prepares to visit Poland and the European Commission prepares to launch sanctions against it, the European Parliament’s chosen Brexit negotiator is demanding the Prime Minister condemn Warsaw to prove Britain’s loyalty to “EU values”.

Former Prime Minister of Belgium Guy Verhofstadt told The Telegraph he expects the British premier to demonstrate her country will remain loyal to “European liberal democratic values” — as defined by EU insiders like himself — after Brexit.

“The current Polish government is guilty of backsliding on the rule of law and undermining European democratic values,” alleged the 64-year-old MEP.

“I hope Theresa May will firmly raise this issue in Warsaw. This visit is an important first test of the UK’s pledge to defend European liberal democratic values, as we move forward together to build a strong security partnership,” he said. 

Surreal. The EU is the largest criminal racket on the planet – and it’s ‘concerned’ about democracy and the rule of law in Poland? What a joke!

Melbournistan Severely Hit By Mental Health Issues

Car deliberately hits Melbourne pedestrians; police do not suspect terrorism

They can’t . Because if they did, they  would have to start doing something about it.

A white SUV sits in the middle of the road as police and emergency personnel work at the scene where a car ran over pedestrians on Flinders Street in Melbourne on December 21, 2017.

A car deliberately plowed into pedestrians injuring 19 people at a crowded intersection in the Australian city of Melbourne on Thursday, but police said they did not believe the attack to be terror-related.

In January, four people were killed and more than 20 injured when a man deliberately drove into pedestrians just a few hundred meters away from Thursday’s attack. That too was not a terror attack.

“At this time, we don’t have any evidence or intelligence to indicate a connection with terrorism,” said acting chief Commissioner Shane Patton, who added that the driver suffered mental health issues.

cops seem very keen to downplay terrorism and emphasise mental illness of Afghan-background suspect. But no mention of religion. The helpless, voiceless mentally ill are drawn in but not the primary motivation of such alleged car attacks. Red Dan nods approvingly.

Time to put concrete jihadi barriers around the car parks of all drug-rehab centres. Inshallah

It was an act of terrorism driven by a barbaric ideology. It is a belief system that seeks to subjugate & destroy. Address the root cause of the problem and stop making it something other ‘otherworldly’

Drugs have been a problem in this country since it became a country. But no drug addict has ever driven his car deliberately into a crowd of people because he was having a bad day –until now… 2 brown guys with beards, coincidently.

Robert Spencer:

Muslim deliberately plows car into pedestrians, injuring 19, cops say it’s not terrorism 

A mentally ill drug addict. With a criminal history. Of course. How could this possibly be terrorism? Notice, however, buried deep in this report, a most interesting detail: “Second man arrested at the scene was filing [sic] the incident and had a bag containing knives.” He wasn’t filing, he was filming. What kind of mentally ill drug addict decides to drive a car into pedestrians and gets a buddy to fill a bag with knives and come down and film the act? Clearly the filming was for jihad video; we have seen other jihad terrorists, such as Mohamed Merah, who massacred people at a Jewish school in France a few years ago, film their acts so that jihadis can enjoy the bloodshed and recruit others to the cause. If Australian authorities think this wasn’t terrorism, but just more of the global outbreak of mental illness, they’re whistling in the dark.

Last June, the Islamic State published a poster depicting an SUV driving over a heap of skulls and bearing the legend “Run Over Them Without Mercy.”

And the Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:

So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….

Melbourne vehicle jihad: “Motivation Unknown”

Update:

Hooray! We got a motive! From the Oz:

The incident in Melbourne that sent several people to hospital is believed to be the work of a mentally ill drug addict.

Here’s my comment:

FMD! An Islamic jihadist mows down 19 people in the heart of Melbourne & our drecks journaille tells us its “a mentally ill drug addict?” 19 people are not “several” people, & an Islamic terrorist can also be a drug addict, but it was Islam that made him do it!

“Lets hope its not terrorism related.”

But we shouldn’t jump to conclusions… He could be a ‘white nationalist’ ?

Victoria Police repeat “this was a deliberate act. Motivation is unknown.”

8-10 men reportedly pulled the two terrorists from the car and gave them a brief beating before police intervened and pushed the men back. That’s Australia for you. Despite all the Globalist-government has done to vilify masculinity, Aussie boys are still Aussie boys.

I bet you a dollar his name was Muhammad: 16 MOWN DOWN BY CAR IN MELBOURNE

“This is not about ethnicity, it’s not about people’s background, it’s not about religion, it’s about their behaviour, so any conversation that goes on around ethnicity needs to be squashed”–Inspector Marty Allison said.

Andrew Bolt, Herald Sun

Too soon to call it terrorism:

AT LEAST 16 pedestrians have been struck by an out-of-control car on Flinders St between Elizabeth and Swanston streets this afternoon.

The driver of the car has been arrested by police.

Two people taken to hospital so far. One is a toddler with serious head injuries.

Fears two Melbourne gangs have merged to lure police into street battles, internal memo shows

“WE HAVE TO BALANCE PEOPLE’S HUMAN RIGHTS”

A mob of unruly young people recently turned up at Werribee house party, where they trashed the place before rampaging through nearby streets. When police arrived, they were pelted with rocks.

It was quite a night in the old home town:

Pepper spray residue, blood splatter, graffiti and broken glass were left in the extensively-damaged three-bedroom property, while some walls had holes kicked in them.

Terrified neighbours cowered in their homes at the height of the violence, trying to avoid the gangs, who used poles to smash car windows and tried to kick down doors.

Resident Jeremy Lynch armed himself with a baseball bat after his house was attacked

“It was terrifying … I grabbed my young daughter and went to the back room so that way, if they got in, we’d be harder to get to,” neighbour Kristy told AAP. “They were looking for trouble.”

Friday dawned to reveal cars along the street with smashed windows and rocks littering the road.

Neighbours say up to 40 youths from the house started roaming the streets, throwing rocks and smashing cars.

This is terrible. Who are these youths? Where did they come from?

It’s understood two gangs of African youths, one known as Westside Crew and another as Menace to Society, were involved in the riot.

Interesting. Despite the attendance of eight officers with additional support from tactical police and helicopter and dog squads, no arrests were made:

“The behaviour that was displayed this morning is unacceptable and intolerable,” Inspector Marty Allison said …

Hole lotta love

Inspector Allison said the cultural backgrounds of those involved in the violence was irrelevant, after suggestions from residents that youths with African backgrounds were being protected by police.

“This is not about ethnicity, it’s not about people’s background, it’s not about religion, it’s about their behaviour, so any conversation that goes on around ethnicity needs to be squashed.”

Inspector Allison defended the initial police response to the incident, and the fact that no arrests were made.

Instead of being arrested and jailed, the rioters simply wandered away:

Residents said they were staggered many of the youths involved could be seen at a bus stop less than 100 metres from the carnage shortly after being dispersed by police.

Victoria’s acting chief commissioner of police Shane Patton has since defended his force’s gentle approach:

“Victoria Police is not soft, we do use the appropriate force, but we have to balance people’s human rights,” he said.

What about property rights?

Mr Patton also said “different sections of the community” would oppose Victoria Police using water cannons to handle similar riots in the future.

That “different section of the community” would be rioters, who presumably oppose any punitive or preventative response.

The house was scrawled with tags linked to the notorious Apex gang and new African youth group called “Menace to Society”, but Mr Patton repeated police claims that Apex no longer exists and dismissed the MTS gang.

“Well they (brawlers) are a menace to society in the way they’ve conducted themselves … but we have no intelligence that such a gang exist,” he said.

Apart from the ruined house, all of those smashed windows and the accounts of witnesses. No evidence at all.
