Immediately following the show, the Muslim community went into damage control. And despite the Supreme Court’s findings, they called him back onto prime time television in the hope that he would retract the notion that jihad is always somebody else’s fault. But he didn’t. The blame game continued until the interviewer was visibly exasperated. Meanwhile, Mallah continued to tweet the ‘orgism’ [sic] he was having at all the media hype.
The commercial television interviewer was Waleed Aly, a Muslim who defended the Grand Mufti when he hailed suicide bombers as ‘heroes’. Aly has also derided Ayaan Hirsi Ali as a ‘rock star’ and implied she was speaking against Islam to make money. Aly works in the global terrorism department of a prominent university and has suggested that we should counsel returned fighters, stamp them ‘deradicalised’ and use them to further counsel potential terrorists. Essentially, Aly would like to use Australians as guinea pigs in an experiment to see whether returned fighters can convince Muslims that, not only is channelling your inner savage a really bad idea, but keeping child sex slaves is not all its cracked up to be.
Of the 25 Muslims who went to fight for a terrorist group and returned to Australia, 18 were involved in planning a terrorist attack on their return. This is not just a small case of paranoia in a climate of fear. This is the reality. So how is your grand plan looking now Waleed?
Mallah has had counselling. And it is evident it has not worked. Today, he is still volatile and reactionary and will turn in the blink of an eye at any perceived slight. So who wants to be Aly’s guinea pigs in his attempt to counsel and reintegrate Western Sydney bogans, who, more than likely flew to Syria to get themselves some street cred? The idea is preposterous.
No, the best thing to do is banish them. Muslim apologists are demonstrating a complete and utter failure to attribute personal responsibility for Muslim terror. Aly’s convert wife, dressed up like the star of ‘I dream of Genie’ puts an appearance on ABC News Breakfast to (incorrectly) inform us, that Charlie Hedbo was a racist (and, presumably deserved to be shot). And Waseem Doureihi, spokesperson for Hizb ut-tahrir tells ABC that groups like ISIS do not form ‘in a vacuum’. ISIS are our fault. Syria is our fault (not Assad’s). And Al-Qaeda is our fault (thanks Hillary). And the fact that Mallah planned to take out ASIO is the fault of NSW Police. And on and on it goes. But the rhetoric is always the same. Our fault! So who is responsible for Mohammed?
Let’s contextualise this rhetoric. If you are telling me, that American foreign policy in the Middle East is so abhorrent, so restrictive for you in your council flat in Western Sydney, that you simply had to leave the comfort of your home, fly to Sydney and cruelly and viciously behead innocent children from another religion, then don’t come back. You’re not Australian!
