What Sharaf-Deen Yusuf was trying to do is unclear. Did he think the incident would be reported as a hate crime without his getting caught, so that it would not be known that the perpetrator was a Muslim? Certainly we have seen many Muslims fake anti-Muslim hate crimes in the past; victimhood is currency these days, and “Islamophobia” claims bring political and often financial benefits to those who make them. But there is so little actual anti-Muslim bigotry that it has to be fabricated.
“Bail denied after anti-Islam picnic tirade,” by Perry Duffin, Australian Associated Press, April 8, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A Muslim man who allegedly launched an anti-Islamic attack on a family by skidding his car through the mud, metres from terrorised children, has been refused bail by a NSW court.
Sharaf-Deen Yusuf, 43, has been referred to NSW Police’s specialist fixated persons unit for investigation following the “unprovoked” attack north of Wollongong.
Twenty family members, from Sydney’s west, had gathered at the Bulli Tops lookout on Sunday for a picnic.
But Yusuf, who was also at the park, began screaming anti-Islamic sentiments at them, detectives say.
Yusuf took issue with the race or ethnicity of the Muslim family despite identifying as a member of the same faith, sources have told AAP.
“They all turned up to do the Australian thing and have a barbecue on a Sunday afternoon,” Superintendent Chris Craner told reporters in Wollongong on Monday.
The family tried to subdue Yusuf and calm him down but, when they backed away from the struggle, he got into his car.
Yusuf allegedly began driving in circles around the group, doing burnouts on the muddy grass metres from the group which included elderly grandparents and young children, Supt Craner said.
“The women, at the time, were crying and there were young kids there.
“They’re quite shaken from it all.”…
Police say they found a box cutter and a hammer in his car which suggests the incident “could have been worse”….
