Jihad in an Australian Chocolate Shop

kjThe details are still sketchy, but this is what is apparently confirmed as of this writing (8PM EST Sunday night): as many as 50 people have been taken hostage in the Lindt Chocolat Café in Sydney, Australia’s central pedestrian mall, Martin Place. Some of the hostages have been forced at gunpoint to hold up the black flag of Islamic jihad against a window of the café.

The flag says in Arabic, “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet” – the Islamic confession of faith. It will thus be hard to claim this one was workplace violence, but the mainstream media and Western leaders are no doubt already strategizing on ways to do so. Falling quickly into politically correct lockstep and ignoring the jihad flag in the window, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott insisted that “we don’t know the motivation” of the gunmen.

Meanwhile, police have evacuated the area, as well as the Sydney Opera House, where apparently a suspicious package has been found. Abbott issued a statement declaring that while “this is obviously a deeply concerning incident but all Australians should be reassured that our law enforcement and security agencies are well trained and equipped and are responding in a thorough and professional manner.”

That is no doubt true, but this is an unprecedented event in the West. There have been jihad attacks, and hostage situations, but this is the first jihadist hostage event in a Western country since the Islamic State issued this threat in a September video: “We will conquer your Rome, break your crosses, and enslave your women, by the permission of Allah, the Exalted. This is His promise to us; He is glorified and He does not fail in His promise. If we do not reach that time, then our children and grandchildren will reach it, and they will sell your sons as slaves at the slave market.”

In that video, Islamic State spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani told Muslims:

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.

Do not ask for anyone’s advice and do not seek anyone’s verdict. Kill the disbeliever whether he is civilian or military, for they have the same ruling. Both of them are disbelievers. Both of them are considered to be waging war [the civilian by belonging to a state waging war against the Muslims]. Both of their blood and wealth is legal for you to destroy, for blood does not become illegal or legal to spill by the clothes being worn.

Al-Adnani also made this specific threat: “You will pay the price as you walk on your streets, turning right and left, fearing the Muslims. You will not feel secure even in your bedrooms. You will pay the price when this crusade of yours collapses, and thereafter we will strike you in your homeland, and you will never be able to harm anyone afterwards. You will pay the price, and we have prepared for you what will pain you.”

The chocolate shop siege in Sydney could well be a fulfillment of that threat, and a harbinger of things to come not only in Australia, but in Western Europe, Britain, Canada and the U.S. And for the first time at least in recent memory, we see Islamic jihadists taking hostages in the West, as they have for so long in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

If the fate of these hostages is determined according to Islamic law, and there is every indication that it will be since the hostage-taker appears to be a devout and observant Muslim, they could be freed outright, ransomed, enslaved or killed:

“As for the captives, the amir [ruler] has the choice of taking the most beneficial action of four possibilities: the first to put them to death by cutting their necks; the second, to enslave them and apply the laws of slavery regarding their sale and manumission; the third, to ransom them in exchange for goods or prisoners; and fourth, to show favor to them and pardon them. Allah, may he be exalted, says, ‘When you encounter those [infidels] who deny [the Truth=Islam] then strike [their] necks’ (Qur’an sura 47, verse 4)” — Al-Mawardi, al-Ahkam as-Sultaniyyah (The Laws of Islamic Governance).

Over the last few months, the world has recoiled in horror as the Islamic State released several videos of the execution of their decision to kill numerous hostages. But that was far away, in lands most people have only ever seen on television. Now we may be forced to witness the same scenes unfold on the streets of our own cities and towns – just as the Islamic State has threatened.

Epitomizing the West’s absolute lack of preparedness for this, despite Abbott’s reassuring words, was this from a reporter for the UK’s Guardian: “I am seeing a lot of people tweeting/asking about the supposed police raids taking place in Lakemba at the same time as the siege. Ray Hadley, a conservative presenter with 2GB, said raids of homes in Lakemba, which has a large Muslim population, were taking place now.

Sources have told my colleague Michael Safi there are no raids underway in that suburb. About 20 police are touring the Lakemba mosque as part of a police induction day, which may have been the source of those reports.”

So police were at the mosque for outreach as a jihad hostage situation began to unfold in downtown Sydney. The black flag of jihad that the hostages were forced to hold against the window showed up the bitter irony in this. Instead of challenging Muslim leaders to fight against this Islamic State ideology that they ostensibly reject, police were busy reassuring Muslims that they were not “Islamophobic,” just as jihad came to their very doorstep.

As Australians, and in due course Americans and Britons and Canadians, grow accustomed to the new possibility that a stop for a cup of coffee could result in one’s head being separated from one’s body, the time for this politically correct unreality about the jihad threat is over. Realism about the nature and magnitude of the threat is long overdue. The patrons inside the Lindt Chocolat Café, now hostages, deserve nothing less, as do the rest of the citizens of the embattled and besieged West.

    “You will pay the price as you walk on your streets, turning right and left, fearing the Muslims.”

    Liberals are appalled at the idea of “fearing the Muslims,” but here is one in a position of leadership among them saying that’s exactly what he wants. With a professed goal of making Westerners fearful of Muslims, I think it’s eminently reasonable to look at Muslims in the light of this goal and to be suspicious of all of them. It’s not “racist” to take actual threats seriously and to consider groups of people exactly as those among them wish us to consider them.

      Fear is the same twisted respect mechanism that blacks in the US employ. Kinda makes one wonder where they learn these things.

    “As Australians, and in due course Americans and Britons and Canadians, grow accustomed to the new possibility that a stop for a cup of coffee could result in one’s head being separated from one’s body…”

    The time to patronize “gun free” shops and markets (or at least the time to abide by their rules) is over. Let some Jihadis pull something like this in a cafe full of bitter, clinging Americans on their way home from a gun show, and see what happens to them. If they have any sense, they will limit their operations in this country to establishments that prohibit firearms.

    • Lightbringer

      You mean, “target-rich environments”? Declaring your establishment a gun-free zone invites trouble. And declaring your country a gun-free zone invites atrocities and genocide, as are happening in much of the Middle East and Africa today.

  • Space Cowboy

    The notion that Muslims are terrorists is PC multicultural lunacy. Typically terrorists are radicals and extremists that comprise only a tiny minority of the societies that produce them. However, jihad, in stark contrast, is a fundamental holy obligation COMPULSORY for ALL MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD in one form or another.

    Thus, ALL MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD are jihadists in one form or another. Either of the violent variety (a tiny minority) or of the non-violent stealth variety (the vast overwhelming majority). Otherwise, they are dead apostates and dead blasphemers. As all non-conformers in Islamic totalitarian society are summarily executed for the capital offenses of apostasy and blasphemy according to the dictates of Sharia.

    Hence, every act of Islamic violence can be for only one reason and one reason alone, and that is to ultimately make Islam and its followers supreme. As jihad is a so-called holy war waged by ALL MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD against ALL INFIDELS IN THE WORLD in the cause of Allah to ultimately make Islam and its followers supreme.

    Indeed, jihad relative to terrorism is a far more profound problem, since it encompasses ALL MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD as opposed to only a tiny minority of radicals and extremists that resort to terrorism. Wrap your brains around that!

  • desertgoldwing

    When this happens in America (and it will!) on this scale it will be called work place violence. We keep having the mini-attacks and beheadings, but the worst is yet to come. That is why I enjoy living in Arizona. I have guns and can carry them concealed. I can defend my family and others. If i’m having a latte and eating a scone any wannabe jihadist will be eating jacketed hollowpoints if they interrupt my coffee break. On a serious note, we are praying that these innocents will be rescued unharmed and that the terrorist gunmen or man will be dispatched with extreme predjudice by the local SWAT teams.

    • Lightbringer

      Pennsylvania, especially the western, Appalachian part, shares Arizona’s charm in that manner. And I prefer our misty, green forests.

    • Space Cowboy

      I know this is going to sound very counterintuitive to you, but Muslims don’t kill innocent civilian infidels in cold blood like terrorists do because they are also terrorists too. Instead, they kill innocent civilian infidels in cold blood because they are waging a jihad against ALL INFIDELS IN THE WORLD, and because innocent civilian infidels happen to make the easiest targets, then that’s who they primarily target.

      Our Islamic problem doesn’t consist of a tiny minority of radical Muslim extremists that resort to terrorism, as is typical of terrorists produced by various other societies. The problem we face instead comprises ALL MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD because waging jihad, which is a so-called holy war waged by ALL MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD against ALL INFIDELS IN THE WORLD in the cause of Allah to ultimately make Islam and its followers supreme throughout the world, is a fundamental holy obligation COMPULSORY for ALL MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD in one form or another. Either of the violent variety (a tiny minority) or of the non-violent stealth variety (the vast overwhelming majority).

      Hence, all Muslims currently living in America and, indeed, throughout the infidel world today are jihadists in one form or another. In fact, they are not so-called moderate Muslims. As so-called moderate Muslims in Islamic totalitarian society are apostates and blasphemers that are summarily executed according to the dictates of Islam.

      As a matter of fact, with few exceptions and for the most part Muslims don’t wage jihad violently in the infidel world because it isn’t feasible for them to do so. Why? Because it would quickly be eradicated and the Muslims would quickly be sent packing back from whence they came from. Thus, they wage stealth jihad primarily non-violently by design and on purpose for the strategic purposes of mass Muslim infiltration of our governments, Islamization of our societies, and for eventual demographic conquest.

      Oh sure every now and then occasionally we get a mentally unstable Muslim or a recent Muslim convert with a chip on his shoulder perpetrating acts of violent jihad over here in the infidel world, but for the most part those violent acts are far and few between. Since violent jihad on a much greater scale would quickly be defeated and would also result in the Muslim migrants being sent back to the Islamic totalitarian world.

      Indeed, in response to the 9/11 violent jihad attacks, Bush should never have grew government like a stuffed Dhimmicrat on steroids. Instead, he should have simply banned and reversed mass Muslim immigration with all of its excessive baggage ASAP. As zero Muslims in America would equal zero violent jihad and zero non-violent stealth jihad in America. Unfortunately, in hindsight Bush was a loon, a mentally incompetent loon!

    The number of hostages has been revised down to 15. The office of Channel 7 television is directly opposite the chocolate shop, and they have counted the hostages in the windows. The shop was probably chosen because it would get maximum TV exposure.

      Haha! I can see it now!

      I find it hard to hate people that I don’t even know, but that ISIS scum makes it easy.

      But, the problem is – Obama is in over his head.

      Obama has sat on his hands while ISIS took over Iraq and the middle east. He is a fool domestically and internationally. Obama has ruined our country.

      You pick a fight with Russia over an area which is part of their near abroad.

      You ruined health insurance. My health insurance is up to $450/month from just $200/month. My car insurance is currently only $25/month (from Insurance Panda) and renter’s only $15/month (from Eagle)…both private enterprise… but who knows when Obama will try to step in and socialize that?

      With everything Obama touched in shambles, Barry needs a new job. You mean to tell me our troops are supposed to go re-train the Iraqi soldiers who shed their uniforms and ran? Again? Couldn’t 5.6 billion be used for something more useful in our own country? The guy needs to step down before he is impeached.

    • TeamINFIDEL

      America and the rest of the civilized Western world is targeted by Islam primarily because of its perceived support of Israel, a nation universally blamed for the desperate plight of the entire freakin’ Islamic world.

      Sure it’s senseless, but then again, so is cult ideology called Islam.

      • Lightbringer

        No, we are not targeted for our perceived support of Israel. We are targeted because we exist. We — the West — stand between the Muslims and their quest for darkness eternal.

        • nobullhere

          Or more to the point, because people like Charles Martel, Pelayo, Jan Sobieski, Jean Parisol de la Valette and Price Eugene of Savoy stopped the Jihad then drove it back in battles like Covadonga in 722 through to Zenta in 1697. Their belief in their superiority to us coupled with their failure to conquer us drives their hatred towards us.

    • JayWye

      I think the muzzie has the patrons standing in front of the windows,to prevent snipers from taking him out. Human shields. Another article I read said people had been standing for over 2 hours. At night,he turned out the shop’s lights. With night vision goggles or scopes,it’s very difficult to tell who’s who.

    The time to pick sides is long past. Barack Obama is on the side of the Muslims—“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” If you support anything less than the complete expulsion of Muslims from Western countries, you are on the side of the Muslims along with Barack Obama.

    • kafir4life

      Stinky (BO) never actually said that. He’s a piece of garbage no doubt, but those weren’t his words.

        In full, the first quote is:

        “In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for
        example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and
        FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense
        of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of
        immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific
        reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that
        America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments
        during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

        “Them” indisputably means “Muslims”. It’s cynical liberal weasel speak to deny Obama said he will side with the Muslims over Americans. If the winds shifted in an ugly direction, that’s all the doing of the Mohammedans.

        As for the other quote, it’s completely accurate.

        • kafir4life

          I agree with you on the context 100%…..And I know the 2nd quote was a quote.

    There is no such thing as a “moderate” Muslim. These murdering, mongrel slime have proven themselves to be dangerous fanatics throughout their entire history. The first and most logical step we in the West should take is a moratorium on any further immigration of Muslims into our territory. The second should be the deportation of all Muslims already here, who are not citizens. These pigs are not capable of living in pluralistic societies.

      too!

    • Sister_In_Christ

      I have known numerous Muslims in my lifetime and none are remotely what you say. Many, many Muslims are secular like there are many, many secular non-religious, non-practicing Christians and Jews. Many are regular worldly people like most people. They should be treated with dignity and respect and shown the love and truth of Jesus like we’re called us to show them. If they’re clearly evil I’m not saying befriend or get near them but for G-d sake at least give the non-threatening ones the benefit of the doubt.

      • nobullhere

  • Space Cowboy

    Apparently, Australia and indeed the entire infidel West should increase mass Muslim immigration with all of its excess baggage because with the exception of only a tiny minority of terrorists, Muslims are peaceful and moderate people and just like us infidels. Indeed, if we became more inclusive incidents like this one in the infidel west would never occur. In fact, that Muslim actions are analogous to the reactions we have witnessed in Ferguson, MO. We must all learn to celebrate diversity and PC multiculturalism.

    • Sheik Yerbouti

      That started out as a noble idea. But I think we all know that today “Diversity” just means “Everybody BUT white people”. Most of the people pushing the diversity mantra these days are blatant anti-white racists. It amazes me how many seem to think they can fight racism and bigotry by dumping racism and bigotry onto white people at will. I am finding that people who push diversity are generally very intolerant people. Not the accepting sort you might expect from someone claiming to want to include everyone.

      If not, there is NO PEACE…never has, is or will be!!

      In the 33rd surah, the Koran tells Muslims to follow Muhammad’s example. In the 8th and 9th surahs, Allah says that those who do, and become jihadists killing non-Muslims in his cause, are the “BEST” Muslims.

    By now the lunatic jihadist is dead but so are also two of the hostages and several are wounded. It would be useful to get more details. He apparently immigrated to Australia over 10 years ago as an asylum seeker from Iran. He followed some other religion earlier but later switched to Islam. Always suspect converts of one sort or another they are usually the most insane and dangerous. He was accused of or indicted for killing his wife and burning her but evidence was too scant and he was let go. He had a partner in the killing of her. The law was well aware of him. He had sent hate mail to the families of Australian soldiers who had been killed in action. Ten to one he would have received welfare from the state. Hopefully, Australia and the free world will learn something from this but as Mr. Spencer points out, that is not too likely. We may have to wait for one of these fruitcakes to kill a head of state in the free world before the politicians will face reality.

    Once again, Prime minister Abbott is a fool and a moron and should not be leading a chorus of “Tie Me Kangaroo Down” muchless a country!! A muslim TERRORIST was having his victims hold up what amounts to a neon sign declaring his motivation was ALLAH!! Abbott in his stupidity (the kind that gets people killed) still wants to look into what the gunmans intentions might be….If you aren’t pulling your hair out at the thought of this idiot, you have no moral compass. It’s well past time to get pissed off!! Wake up.
