Yet authorities persist in assuming that “jihad for the sake of Allah” has nothing to do with Islam, and represents a fundamental misunderstanding of it. So this young man was in “deradicalization” programs, which never, ever work, as they’re based on the false premise that true Islam is peaceful and benign. The jihadis are not fooled by this if they are familiar with the texts and teachings of Islam.
An update on this story. “Radicalised teen shot dead by cops outside a Willetton Bunnings during stabbing rampage is unmasked – as terrifying footage emerges of the school boy blowing up a toilet,” by Olivia Day, Daily Mail Australia, May 6, 2024:
The radicalised teenager who was shot dead by police outside a Bunnings has been unmasked as shocking footage emerges of him blowing up a school toilet.
The teenager, 16, stabbed a 30-year-old man in the back and threatened police with the same 30cm knife outside the store at Willetton, in Perth’s south, on Saturday.
Just moments before the attack, he texted multiple people saying he was ‘going on the path of jihad tonight for the sake of Allah’.
The teenager was one of six juveniles in Western Australia enrolled in a national deradicalisation program, which he attended for two years before his death….
Mr Cook said it was up to the department to probe whether a group of like-minded students at the school had an ongoing problem with Islamic extremism.
‘This young man was harbouring some extremist thoughts, which is the reason why he was part of the countering violent extremism program,’ Mr Cook said.
The incident outside Bunnings on Saturday, which saw the teen shot dead by police, has left his schoolmates, friends and neighbours in shock.
They say the ‘kind-hearted’ teenager had a long, dark descent into Islamic radicalisation by watching extremist content online….

Western Leaders are leading us down a path of cultural and racial eradication being picked off 1 by 1. Clearly allowing mass immigration to wipe out the natives with violent uncivilised people falls at the door of western governments who are disinterested in the protection and security of their citizens.
Donald Trump was right when he said its time to clear the swamp.

an other little bastard that misunderstood islam ?
Peter Johnson says
Disinterested does not equal uninterested. They are very different meanings. And I agree that we need to limit islamic immigration. But not immigration in general.

they need to reopen the isolation camps in Australia because SJS (sudden jihad syndrome) will happen we just don’t know when. better safe than stabbed.

The reports out here in Australia have been saying that there was a Muslim prayer room at the school and that it had been being used to indoctrinate kids like this shithead who was shot by the police. Some parents had complained about it and nothing was done. One thing is for sure. It is always islam, this poisonous, evil and violent religious ideology that causes all this trouble. It won’t be Buddhism or Christianity or Judaism. Biggest mistake in history is this moronically stupid idea of letting islam invade non-Muslim, civilised societies with its vicious view of life. It is cancer and should shut off in its own Muslim countries. It has done so much endless damage to the human race with its poison.

2 American presidents, Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams, would not allow Muslims into the USA, because they knew that their main objective is to change the country into another failed Islamic state. Muslims were not allowed to hold public office in the USA (so I hear) until the 1950s.
So we used to know better.
tim gallagher says
Joe, I have read a passage where John Quincy Adams compares islam with Christianity and I thought that he certainly saw the evil of islam very clearly. i remember thinking that it was the best criticism of islam that i had read among the historical figures that included Churchill and Alexi de Tocqueville. They used to be able to saw how barbaric and evil islam is back then and I wish they would wake up these days. Of course, the Hungarians, the Poles, the Czechs and Slovakians get it these days and shut Muslims out, but I wish far more people in the western world would wake the hell up before it is too late. Yeah, we definitely used to know better.

islam may serve a useful evolutionary purpose
Smart people leave islam
Ignorant people are attracted to the idiotic cult
An ex muslim woman is likely to be smart:why should you wear a hijab on behalf of a god who is provably not omniscient and who is clearly an impersonator of the Biblical God ,does not even understand Human reproductive Biology?
A silly female convert thinks the hijab is just sooo pretty:But the hijab is not about modesty.It is about the classification of women[Taksfir ibn Kathir}
It makes more sense to stay away from islam.It tends to attract the idiots,those with anger management issues.

Can you imagine what he will say when he finds out that there are no seventy-two virgins in the next life. I would love to hear his excuse for both the murder he tried to commit and the murder in his heart.

Radical Islam is Islam that is happening now.
M Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Roger Cook (16) said he was ‘going on the path of jihad tonight for the sake of Allah’.
Can some Islamic theologian please explain this concept of doing things “for the sake of Allah”. Why would Allah want people to do things for him? Isn’t Allah an all-powerful god (indeed the Universe’s only god), who can get things done merely by wishing? If you are an Islamic theologian, please explain this.
tim gallagher says
Good point, M Spahn. I don’t think you will ever get logic from Muslims and they are told by the Koran to go out and murder the non-believers which is something they always have loved doing and always will. islam just creates huge numbers of really nasty, hate-filled people who will always be out there killing non-Muslims. I live in Australia so I will correct what you said up above. Roger Cook is the Premier of western Australia, the leader of the state government there. The would be terrorist hasn’t been named and probably won’t be by authorities because i am pretty sure that they only name criminals over the age of 18 when they are considered to become adults. Western Australia is a hell of a long way away from where I live. Roger Cook seems like a petty useless left wing politician. Being way over on the east coast of Australia, we don’t get a lot of news from Western Australia. It is so far away that it is almost like another country and people there tend to think that way about themselves.

Where were the parents of this young guy? What kind of mentoring and foundation did they give him so that he couldn’t see right from wrong and got deceived by Islam?
Hank says
Can you imagine what those leftwing liberal politicians and their voters exposed the citizens and country to, by allowing Muslims to enter the country and not expelling it, now that they see the damage it causes Australia.
