Order Michael Finch’s new book, A Time to Stand: HERE. Prof. Jason Hill calls it “an aesthetic and political tour de force.”
Australian police and the leftist government of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese finally conceded Tuesday that the father-son jihadist team who “allegedly” murdered 15 people and wounded dozens more at a Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration in Sydney on Sunday were motivated by “ISIS ideology.”
As always in the wake of an attack which everyone else immediately recognizes as Islamic terrorism, authorities initially were reluctant to assign the true motive. The day after the attack, PM Albanese blathered more than 5000 words in press conferences, interviews and statements. Not once did he say the words “Muslim”, “Islam,” or even “Islamic extremism.” He did, however, twice raise the threat of “right-wing extremist groups,” because that’s the go-to boogeyman for Left-wing politicians.
But New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon confirmed on Tuesday that the suspects had “two homemade ISIS flags” in their car at the scene of the attack, and as far back as 2019 Australian security services had investigated the younger jihadist over ties to ISIS groups (he also reportedly was photographed waving an ISIS flag during the pro-Hamas march across Sydney Harbour Bridge after the October 7, 2023, slaughter in Israel), but they dismissed him as not a threat.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Naveed Akram was on a terror watchlist because he had been a member of an ISIS-linked Muslim street preaching group in Sydney, which included radicals who would go on to fight for the Islamic State. According to ABC, father and son may have received “military-style training” during a trip last month to the Philippines, home to one of the major ISIS networks in East Asia.
So much for the effectiveness of terror watchlists. It’s long past time to ask ourselves just what use terror watchlists are. How often have we learned, after a terror attack, that the perpetrators had been on the authorities’ radar for years? What is the point of such watchlists when they allow suspects access to guns, or allow them to travel to jihadist-infested swamps like the Philippines where they are likely attending training camps and/or receiving material support to commit terror attacks back home? What use is a government that will not take the necessary common-sense measures to protect its citizenry, but simply shrugs its shoulders after allowing yet another preventable mass casualty event? How many more innocents must die?
PM Albanese, like all Left-wing government leaders, is under the delusion that ever-tighter gun restrictions is the answer to all crime and terrorism involving guns, so his solution to the terror attack was to call for – wait for it – stricter gun control. The leader of the right-wing National Party, David Littleproud, slammed this: “This isn’t a gun problem, it’s an ideology problem.”
Indeed it is, but the problem is the official reluctance to name that ideology, especially in the aftermath of an Islamic terror attack, when Left-wing authorities reflexively circle the wagons around the Muslim community and issue warnings about an “Islamophobic backlash.”
Just last September, the Australian government’s Office of the Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia (yes, there is such a department) released a strategy report titled A National Response to Islamophobia*, which serves up all the standard fare we’ve heard so often from multiculturalist elites: Islam has been a part of Australian history since “long before the arrival of Europeans,” Muslims in Australia suffer from the oppression of “negative stereotypes,” etc.
To be clear, bigotry does exist and should be called out and stamped out wherever it rears its ugly head. But there is no such thing as “Islamophobia” – an “irrational fear” of Islam. There are, on the contrary, perfectly rational and legitimate concerns about the demonstrable threat Islam poses everywhere in the world.
Albanese has previously issued statements in defense of the Muslim community in Australia and/or slamming the purported threat of Islamophobia. On the International Day to Combat Islamophobia (yes, there is one) last March, for example, in a statement brimming with the usual flowery, multicultural assertions that Islam “has long been a part of the breadth and richness of the Australian story,” he condemned all forms of prejudice against the Muslim community and emphasized Australia’s commitment to “oppose anything that threatens” “our shared identity.”
If Albanese would take off his blinders long enough, he would recognize that Islam is not interested in a shared identity. Supremacist to its core, Islam is in the business of dominating all other identities.
But speaking to Australian broadcaster ABC on Tuesday, Prime Minister Albanese finally acknowledged, “It would appear that this [terror attack] was motivated by Islamic State ideology,” though the charisma-free Albanese still didn’t clarify what the ideology that drives the Islamic State actually is (hint: there is a clue in the name). He did add that it is an “ideology that has been around for more than a decade.”
More than a decade? That ideology has been around for more than 1400 years. Its adherents have been at war with the West – indeed, with all non-Muslims – since its origin. The Bondi Beach terror attack, the deadliest in Australian history, was only the latest manifestation of that fanatical hostility. And stricter gun control won’t prevent future attacks.
Islam is becoming the “strong horse,” as the Arab saying goes, because the West has been betrayed, and continues to be, by our feckless political elites, whose multiculturalist worldview renders them willfully blind to this existential threat. Our leaders, from Australia to Canada to Europe and to America as well, must find a backbone and take the necessary steps – even illiberal ones – to neutralize that threat, or the greatest civilization in history will end in submission to a barbaric, 7th-century, totalitarian death cult.
UPDATE: A brand new jihadist attack in Sydney apparently foiled today:
Australian police carried out a dramatic operation in a Sydney suburb on Thursday, with heavily armed officers in tactical gear reportedly ramming a car and at least briefly detaining several men amid the ongoing investigation into the Sunday terror attack on a Jewish holiday gathering at the city’s Bondi Beach.
The New South Wales state police force said in a statement that two cars were intercepted by tactical operations officers responding “to information received that a violent act was possibly being planned.”
[…]
Australian news outlets NewsWire and The Australian newspaper said the intercepted men were believed to be heading for Bondi from the city of Melbourne, almost 550 miles away in Victoria state.
No arrests were announced, though photos from the scene showed men sitting on the ground as officers moved around them.

Albanese will go down in history as Australia’s most incompetent Prime Minister.
Not if Islam and its dhimmis are writing that history.
Since Moslems will most likely control Australia in the future he will probably go down in history as a hero.
How many more? Looking at the West’s history on this front I would say loads more.
Here’s how it rolls: A horrific jihadist attack occurs. The world erupts in shock, mystified as to the motive. Bouquets of flowers descend on the location of the attack. There is sorrow. There is outrage. For some, there is commitment to finally wake up. For others, there is idiotic, misguided, cowardly ideas that spew forth. And of course the Muslim community frames themselves as victims as they cry “Islamophobia!”
A bit of time passes, everything starts to fade into the distance. The only things that stick are the stupid ideas like more gun control and intrusive measures put in place in the name of security that deprive individuals of their rights and privacy. So we forget as we backslide. And then comes the next attack: lather, rinse, repeat.
Our leaders are too cowardly to confront islam. They’re afraid their heads will be chopped off if they don’t bow to demonic islam.
One of the main reasons that the leaders of Western governments and agencies as well as other authorities in power are unable to handle the problem of Islamic terrorism is because they are operating of policy with the false premise which is that “Islam is benign and harmless religion.
They ignore the fact that “holy book” the Qur’ an ,as it instructs in Surah 47:4 , which instructs “Whenever you encounter the disbelievers strike of their heads until you made great slaughter among them…”
Since in Qu’ ran based Muslim worldview both Christians and Jews are “disbelievers” Therefore, in this month of December both the Europe Christmas market and that Australia Hanukkah festival Muslim terrorists attacks valid targets in the teachings of Islam.
There are also many other passages in the Qur ‘an that instructs devout Muslim to engage in violence and killing of “disbelievers” As in ,for example ,Surah 2:191, 4;89. 5:33 .9:5,123 47:4.
Yes, but Westerners, and particularly Leftist Western elites, simply refuse to believe that what they consider to be a religion, is actually a political movement bent on world domination and the subjugation of everyone in it. You can tell them, you can point out the scriptural basis, you can draw them pictures but you cannot get them to believe that many Muslims believe in, and operate on the basis of, these beliefs. The best you can get out of them is “Well, the Bible says to stone people for adultery,” ignoring that this hasn’t been done by Judaism or Christianity in centuries and that, unlike Islam, they have gone through reformations.
Jefferson and Adams saw the threat with the Barbary pirates back in the 1800s.
And ACTED appropriately.
in short, they acted hard, rapidly, and continuously until the threat was dismantled.
And they withered away over the next hundred years or so.
Culturally, Islam is a religion, but a very odd death inflecting religion. Therefore, . one of the ways that Islam be be defined and described is that ” Islam is a religious /political /Sharia system of tyrannical mind control has complete and total power upon the thoughts, ideas , worldview and behavior of millions of people around the world.”
With that definition of Islam , the wisdom of the words of Thomas Jefferson do ,very much, apply to that religion. For Mr. Jefferson who had, rightly and wisely, declared “I have sworn upon the alter of God ,eternal hostility against all forms of tyranny over the mind of man.”
As long as they continue to ignore the problem its going to get worst until we come to know the Facts that Islam Is Not the Religion of Peace as we have been told by M.S. Media and the UN/CFR/Globalists
Those people killed on the beach were not executed, may the Al-mighty avenge their bloid. They were murdered.
Fair point. Changed.
according to feckless albanese and his marxist cohorts good wins over evil . he just had a momentary lapse of reason . he gorgot to add that it doesnt apply to barbarians . commonly known as islam . but then that would be the truth and we cant have that .
Churchill said, Islam in a man is like rabies in a dog! Death to Islam
Our Leaders confront islam???
Not gonna happen…
The islamic loving Luciferian Globalists are helping, aiding and funding satanic islam’s quest for world domination. Making excuses for every terrorist attack in the world.
Forms of Stealth Jihad include…
1) Business Jihad
2) Educational Jihad
3) Media Jihad
4) Environmental Jihad
5) Political jihad
6) Neighborhood Jihad
7) Governmental Jihad
8) Banking & Financial Jihad
9) International Laws Jihad
10) Religious Jihad
11) Diversionist Jihad
12) Apologetics Jihad
13) Population Control Jihad
14) Healthcare Jihad
Fact is… we’re being conquered from within… don’t realize it and we have Christian Leaders in this world helping satanic Islam along…
The leftist, proverbial frogs in pot of water.
Those “Christian Leaders” are Christian in name only. Many of them were bought with smooth lies, but now they are without excuse.
The burdensome funding drives are no longer necessary. Less need for parishioners’ money to fund their schools and parishes. They were told it would help to feed the poor, house the homeless and bring the light of the gospel to all the nations, but great commission is to GO FORTH into all the nations with the gospel — not to open our borders so the heathen nations can overwhelm ours.
“…but great commission is to GO FORTH into all the nations with the gospel…”
Very true. Nevertheless, it must be said, again, that the so-called “great commission” is the “little flock” commission, And in case it’s not clear, the little flock is Israel, the nation taken from within the nation. The “royal priesthood.”
The gospel of that commission does not consist of the message of the death, burial, and resurrection for forgiveness of sins. It is the same message that John the Baptist preached. Repent, nationally confess sins, and be water baptized. Believe that Jesus in the Christ.
When the prophetic program resumes, the little flock (Israel) will preach that gospel. The gospel of 1 Cor 15 was given to Paul after God temporarily interrupted the prophetic program.
You might as well say God can’t get things straight…
Get this… your Paul is Savior doctrines of the devil have you messed up and confused…
Matt, I do not know how you can say the great commission was only for Jews. It was given first to the Jews, but their rejection caused it to go to the gentiles. And even to this day, the Jews reject Jesus (Acts 13:46), which was also prophesied by the prophets (Deut. 32:21; Isaiah 65: 1-2; Romans 10).
Jesus Himself always went first to the Jews, but powerfully said the gentiles would be included, placing gentiles into one fold with the Jews, having one Shepherd, Christ (John 10: 16; Isaiah 49:6). Peter famously recognized these truths (Acts 10: 34 – 35.)
If the Jews alone were given the great commission, how do you think they are doing with that?
You are a great one for making lists, and ordering everyone around and telling us what is supposedly happening, without saying a word about what you are going to do fix it. You never offer up any solutions. Just the same old elementary school rap. You are a coward. Have fun doing nothing while waiting for whatever you are waiting for, Mr. Very Elect Fraud Boy.
I already know what I am going to do. I am not waiting around for you to fix anything. Because you can’t. And I don’t need your help. You don’t have any solutions for anything. You are just a self centered blabber mouth who repeats the same “the sky falling” crap all the time. Have fun rapturing with the “invisible auntiechrist” and your beema bop a looma seat.
As I said, your boring Vegas lounge act is wearing thin. Who did you copy this steaming pile from?
Well then… tell us what you’re going to do…
I gather what you intend on doing is better than what your fake god allah has planned? Yes?
Trump and most of his circle and administration are beholden to Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Yes… the islamic loving Luciferian Globalists are in cahoots with all of satanic Sunni islam… which includes Saudi Barbaria…
I believe Trump is blinded to the Truth by his ambitions of spreading his Trump Towers around the globe…
James Burnham described it best in his book Suicide of the West, (1948), more timely than ever.
.” It’s long past time to ask ourselves just what use terror watchlists are. “
The leftist “leaders” will never learn and the sheeple keep cheering on their feel good ideas. Terror watchlists , much like gun-free-zones, are worthless leftist policies made for the sheeple to feel righteous.
I believe all world leaders, except for Israel, will publicly convert to Islam. I include Trump and his family and EU countries and especially the royals in the UK and its PM. If fact, they behave as if they have already done so.
But I think it will be televised as a beautiful, joyous and oh so peaceful event and it will go on and on on Television as long as Michael Jackson’s funeral did.
Celebrations will include guns going off everywhere, beheading of Jewish and Christian babies. and red hands will be featured, not just by Hollywood, but by every fashion house in celebration of murdering Jews….and you can forget Christmas. What was that about anyway?
You’re very right…
When the Abomination of Desolation occurs… also known as… when the Antichrist stands in the Holy Place…
The Word of God tells us that those living in Jerusalem needs to flee to the mountains… because sudden destruction will come upon those living there…
satanic islam looks forward to their Caliph/Mahdi uniting with the False Prophet to declare islam the religion of the world… fulfilling the 2nd half of the Tribulation. A period of death that the world has never seen… even worst than the Holocaust…
…
Sadly, many Christians refuse to believe we won’t be present during that time… a major deception…
Can you cite chapter and verse where this supposed perpetrator o the Abomination you mention is NAMED in the scripture? Let alone named as “the antichrist”?
that event is one o the things Jesus clearly said would happen “prior to this generation passing away”. that would mean prior to the end o 70 AD.
And happen it did..just as He said, including the timing. Both Jewish and roman records .report exactly who, the date and time o day, and details o exactly what was done and by whom, and who else was there to witness and record the event.
More, that term “antichrist” does not indicate an individual, a person with agency. The greek word in the txt is not even noun. John is simply giving us an easy test to determine whether a given individual is “with us” or “against us”, a handy thing o know in that day and place. Just as handy to know today. Antichrist is no monster in the shed waiting to be released to devour us unawares.
Matt 24…
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Make note: It says “In all the world”… “and then shall the end come”…
In verse 3 it says… “… the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?”
Nothing in this chapter is about 70 AD… it is all about the end times.
I have a feeling that Western countries are now way past the tipping point, the point of no return. We are destined to repeat the 700 year struggle that Spain had to endure in order to get rid of its muslims. And when they were eventually kicked out, they left much of Spain a wasteland. Same for the Christian Middle East, now mainly Turkey. The barbarians always destroy and hardly ever conserve what they have conquered, or rebuild what they destroy.
(As an aside ; Unfortunately, Spain has let the back in again, so they’ll probably have to do it for a second time).
Yes… I just watched a You Tube video of Brigitte Gabriel talking about Spain and the Gates of Vienna stopping satanic islamic expansion…
She’s a great speaker of Truth…
Not frogs in the water, as a WMC I am growing more PO’d at our supposed leaders lack of concern! Or is it the NWO Satanic Club running the Politzi of our Nations and seeing to the demise of the White Christian?
“…he condemned all forms of prejudice against the Muslim community and emphasized Australia’s commitment to ‘oppose anything that threatens our shared identity.’ ”
This multi-culti “shared identity” nonsense comes from the post-war liberal consensus – a religion crafted for western whites and requiring ONLY whites to believe in one-race-the-human-race dogma.
All other peoples love their own, prefer their own, and wish to live within their own cultures and religions. The doctrinal core of this religion is toleration of differences even when those differences are evil and destructive. Only non-whites may be intolerant and are encouraged to exercise their intolerance and form communities, cities, societies of intolerance.
We are not the same, despite having a terrifying equality before the LORD.
How many more innocent people have to die?
Every child of every one of the “nice, tolerant” liberals who believe in multiculturalism, think it is wrong to have a discriminatory immigration policy, object to having the painful truth shoved down their throats, object to harsh language or calls for stamping out criminal scum, and would vote against leaders who advocate for dealing with this crime problem in the most vicious manner imaginable.
Let more of them suffer – a lot more. Until they say “I have no right to hold any position of responsibility in society, thinkers should have a monopoly on power and feelers shut out, and you have my blessing to squash these scum AND their apologists by any means necessary.”
That would mean harassing foreigners on the street. It would mean every judge in the country terrified of showing leniency. Every politician who supports open borders agreeing to step down and identify their major donors by name and address.
Then the innocent will be safe.
The bottom line is that culture is merely the shopfront of what any given community values and abhors and law is the yardstick of the respective consensus
“Multiculturalism” is therefore just Newspeak for lawlessness
Just like “Diversity is our strength” is code for lawlessness and fear of being called a racist.
So “Islam has been a part of Australian history since “long before the arrival of Europeans,” eh?
I’d never heard that the Mohammedans arrived there before the Aborigines did…or were the Aborigines themselves the earliest followers of Mohamed outside of Arabia? Amazing that even a 7th Century ayatollah on a flying carpet could have arrived literally on the then-unknown opposite side of the globe to convert the natives to Islam!
That absurd claim surpasses even Bush Junior’s idiotic, insulting, offensive warning right after 9/11 that “there had better not be any retaliation against innocent, law-abiding, loyal Muslims” for America’s worst terrorist attack–there never were any, nor have there ever been any, nor any reason to fear any!
Many heads of State and other in power in Western governments are so very foolish to take it to take at face value the claim made by the apologists and propagandists for Islam say that the word Islam means “peace.” For example, the ENCARTA WORLD ENGLISH DICTIONARY copyright 1999 defines Islam as “submission” based on the word “aslama” meaning “he surrendered.” Given the definition it’s an odd phenomenon that after about fourteen hundred years starting on September 12, 2001 the meaning changed from “submission” to “peace.”
It’s very well known that if the police are questioning someone and he changes his story something is wrong. Nevertheless, when it comes to Islam no one gets suspicious of the change. The jihadists brag that they will win the war against the West by using the Western ignorance and naive gullible mindset on the subject of Islam against us. It seems that they do have some basis in that claim since so many Westerners are beguiled by the Muslim disinformation campaign.
For the terrible reality is that Islam is a religion of brutal blood vicious violence, As the Quran instructs devout Muslims in Surah 2:191. 9 :5. 123, 47:4
It is the radical fundamentalist zealots who evangelize, organize, fund and control the global Islamic movement. The moderates, if there ever was such a myth, are merely the movements apologist and passive enablers, who will do what they’re told,… or else! Muslims will out breed their host nation state population demographics in their long march to take over key municipal offices, city councils and state bureaucratic positions.
Muslims know how to use their special privileges, entitlement status and human rights dogma to play the identity politics shell game, turning Islamophobia into a art-form with self loathing whites and Democrat liberal progressives championing their global Intifada conquest every step of the way.
What I’ve yet to see given any press is the significance of an Islamist attack being carried out on Hanukkah celebrators.
Significant because of :
1)The most likely identity of the final Antiochus IV-style destructor of Israel – as portrayed in the prophet Daniel’s interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar ’s dream, an elaboration thereof from 7 minutes here:
2) The same prophet’s subsequent predictions re 3 distinct instances of the desecration of what Jewry holds most dear:
“He will make a firm covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and offering. And the abomination of desolation will be on a wing of the temple until the decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator” (Daniel 9:27, CSB).
“Forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation” (Daniel 11:31, NKJV).
“From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days” (Daniel 12:11, NASB).
3) The warning issued by Jesus during the Olivet Discourse, quote:
“When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
(MATTHEW 24: 15 – 18)
