He is getting counseling from a member of the Muslim community. What is that going to accomplish? The Muslim community is given ample space in this article to explain that this young convert misunderstands the religion of peace, but they don’t explain, and can’t explain, why he was so easily “radicalized online” if he learned Islam from them. If they taught him that Islam is peaceful and rejects terrorism, why was he so easily convinced by the supposedly wrong version of Islam he found online? This article shows that New Zealand, like Western Europe and North America, is in deep denial about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat.
“Kiwi teenager radicalised online planned mass killing in Christchurch ‘for Allah,'” by David Clarkson, Stuff, February 15, 2018 (thanks to Lindsay):
A Kiwi teenager radicalised online planned to ram a car into a group of people in Christchurch and then stab them.
Story continues below advertisementThe teenager wrote a goodbye note to his mother, then started a violent incident, but has since told a psychologist when it began he “decided not to hurt anybody because he did not have the means to kill enough people”, Crown prosecutor Chris Lange told the Christchurch District Court at sentencing on Thursday.
“The reason no-one was hurt was that he did not have access to knives,” Lange said. But there was significant premeditation, and hostility towards non-Muslims.
The teen, who was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, harboured thoughts for five months of killing multiple people. He expected police to kill him once his rampage started.
After his arrest, the youth told police he was angry and had “done it for Allah”. He had left school at age 15, become socially isolated, and converted to Islam.
The court has adopted a rehabilitative approach to the teen’s sentencing, with Judge Stephen O’Driscoll releasing him on intensive supervision with a list of conditions and a warning that if he breaches the conditions or reoffends, he will likely be sent to prison.
Among the conditions – which will apply for two years while the judge monitors his progress – is counselling by a member of the local Muslim community.
The youth’s name is suppressed and the details of the offending cannot be published. He has admitted eight charges. People were frightened by his actions during the incident last year, and damage was done, but no-one was hurt before he was held until the police arrived.
Lange said even though the youth had been treated for months by the youth forensic psychiatric team, he was still seen as a high risk of reoffending, and a risk to family members and members of the public.
He said the primary consideration was the protection of the community, and the teenager’s rehabilitation and reintegration into society.
Defence counsel Anselm Williams said the youth accepted responsibility with his guilty pleas, and gave explanations to the professionals who spoke to him.
He urged intensive supervision be imposed because prison would mean limited access to the rehabilitation and socialising programmes he needed. The strict conditions proposed for the intensive supervision were “almost unheard of”, he said.
He urged the suppression orders be made. “His rehabilitation would be affected by his name being published and him becoming in any way a celebrity of sorts, or someone of note,” he said.
Judge O’Driscoll said the teen’s rehabilitation would benefit the community in the long run, but he said it was one of the most difficult sentencings he had ever been involved in. “There is a need to deter you, denounce your conduct, and protect the community.”
“There was a disinterest in what is seen as the moderate point of view. You had thoughts which most people who live in a civilised society would find unacceptable.”
Pre-sentence reports indicated he had the potential to act more violently than what happened.
He was diagnosed as having post traumatic stress disorder and would need regular intensive community follow-up.
Judge O’Driscoll told the teenager police had contacted a person from the local Muslim community to meet him regularly for counselling.
“Everyone is really wanting to help and assist you, so you don’t engage in acts of violence and harm innocent members of the community.”
He released the youth under intensive supervision for two years, under GPS monitoring and living in supervised accommodation.
The conditions include assessment, counselling and treatment as directed by the probation officer or a psychologist. He will have to live at a particular address and be monitored by the judge with regular reports.
He has interim name suppression, but that would not be made a permanent order until he successfully completed the supervision sentence. Judge O’Driscoll will get regular monitoring reports on his progress, the first in a month’s time.
VIOLENCE NOT ‘THE REAL ISLAM’
The president of the Federation of Islamic Associations, Hazim Arafeh, said from Christchurch that his organisation “completely condemned any violence towards any community and that will never change”.
The risk of young people not well informed about Islam becoming radicalised online would always be present and the federation fully co-operated with the authorities.
“If you look at the statistics just about all of them are low lifes who have no family, no achievements and no qualifications. It’s easier to recruit people who are misinformed about Islam.”
If people wanted to know about the real Islam they could approach anyone at mosques around the country….

The Qur’an is full of hate & intolerance and for most of its 1400 yr history Islam’s “religion of peace” warriors have tried to conquer & subjugate all of Europe, but “violence is not the real Islam.” So who you gonna believe, the smiling imams at the mosque or your lying eyes and brain?

Australians DISARMED themselves decades ago when ONE NUT, yes ONE NUT killed a bunch of people. The politicians were all just to glad to tell Aussies they MUST, yes MUST, turn in their weapons because this will be for the GOOD of all and all that sh it ROT!!
And Aussies believed their lying WONDERS and are now sitting ducks for Moslem and Chinese. The Chinese have a MASSIVE port of yours, sold by the betraying politicians and self-hating WHITES of Australia.
They have set themselves up for an invasion by the Chinese who know their citizens are NOT armed. And the mongrel Moslem can ram anyone he pleases and run out slicing and dicing with glee because nobody is ARMED in Australia anymore.
And it is also why your politicians were grinning ear-to-ear when they collected your weapons you foolish Aussies agreed too.

Not sure what the deal with New Zealand is. Back in December NZ was a co-sponsor of a big anti-Israel resolution at the U.N.
As I’ve stated before regarding Ireland and Sweden, if New Zealand genuinely believes the Palestinians are suffering such massive and dire human rights violations, then they have a human rights obligation to commence an emergency evacuation of the suffering Palestinians and bring them to safety in New Zealand. Otherwise, SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!

They could at least, step up to the plate and donate hundreds of millions of dollars, to the pallys, on an annual basis.

Unfortunately, many countries are jumping in to replace the money Trump has discontinued. It is amazing that so many countries willingly turn a blind eye to the scam that is the Palestinian fraud machine and are so willing to throw more and more money at the Pali con artists.

Trump needs to pull it all. What other nations want to donate .. that’s up to them. Let them support the pallys for the next century or so. I could not care less … other nations .. let them stay where they are and do what they do. It is no skin off my nose ….

I lived in New Zealand back in the 60’s and I can’t remember ever seeing a muslim, or even a black person. These treacherous ‘converts’ should be shunned, socially isolated, and denied any form of welfare. They are often far worse than even ‘radicalised’ birth muslims.

Your last sentence is incorrect. Collectively, birth muslims slaughtered at least 6 million people in the 20th century in Bangladesh, Sudan/Darfur, Turkey/Armenia, Pakistain, E. Timor.

The Prime Minister of NZ is a chardonnay sipping socialist without a serious thought in her head and is too weak and clueless to figure this out. She has been busy posing for Vogue and her childhood ambition was to be a clown – I’d say she has succeeded admirably. She is wanting to import Australia’s failed asylum seekers to join this failed terrorist.
Anyone who plans, assists, executes or botches any terrorist attacks should get the death penalty, no exceptions.

This article raises a few questions. The “youth” was fifteen when it left school. How old was it when it perpetrated the crime(s)? Post Traumatic Stress Disorder … a diagnosis of such … What terrible atrocity did this thing face to leave it in such a condition? If it was fifteen, then left school, and then converted … where and how did it convert and how old was it when it did convert? Obviously, many additional questions arise. Nowhere is safe.

I couldn’t stop laughing hysterically while reading this article:
PTSD,

“violence not the real Islam”
“If people wanted to know about the real Islam they could approach anyone at mosques around the country”
“Judge O’Driscoll said the teen’s rehabilitation would benefit the community in the long run” (like he’s going to find the cure for cancer or something???)

“Everyone is really wanting to help and assist you, so you don’t engage in acts of violence and harm innocent members of the community”. Yes, here are some of the values and beliefs of muslims wanting to help you. Such lies muslims constantly speak, it is as if they are totally unaware, in their arrogance, that others know what islam demands.
The president of the Federation of Islamic Associations, Hazim Arafeh, said from Christchurch that his organisation “completely condemned any violence towards any community and that will never change”.
Quran (8:67) – “It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he had made a great slaughter in the land…”
Quran (8:65) – “O Prophet, exhort the believers to fight…”
Quran (17:16) – “And when We wish to destroy a town, We send Our commandment to the people of it who lead easy lives, but they transgress therein; thus the word proves true against it, so We destroy it with utter destruction.” Note that the crime is moral transgression, and the punishment is “utter destruction.” (Before ordering the 9/11 attacks, Osama bin Laden first issued Americans an invitation to Islam).

Converts are sometimes far more dangerous than those who were raised in Muslim families, they are much more devoted to the “cause”.
