“Allah defeat all of the infidels, disbelievers” and “oh Allah bring down the airplanes.” Two Muslim brothers accused of planning to blow up a passenger plane leaving Sydney also conspired to commit a separate “poisonous gas” terror plot with help from an Islamic State controller, the NSW Supreme Court has been told. They took images and videos of their homemade weapons and sent them to an Islamic State controller, whose contact details were given to them by their older brother in Syria, for feedback and advice, prosecutor Lincoln Crowley QC told the court in his opening address yesterday.
The explosive made it as far as the lobby of the airport……
Crown Prosecutor Lincoln Crowley said the acts planned by the jihad brothers would have been “designed to demonstrate to the unbelievers the righteousness of their particular belief in Islam,” but added, “the religion of Islam is not on trial here.” Of course not, heaven forbid anyone question the ideology that incites all this carnage and slaughter.

Terror accused plotted to bomb plane and release lethal gas, trial told
Two brothers accused of planning an IS-inspired terrorist attack in Sydney plotted to put a bomb on a plane at Sydney Airport and separately planned to release lethal gas, a jury has been told.
By Georgina Mitchell, SMH March 18, 2019:
Mahmoud Khayat, 34, and Khaled Mahmoud Khayat, 51, have pleaded not guilty to one charge each of conspiring to do an act in preparation/planning for a terrorist act, after they allegedly planned the acts from January 20, 2017 until their arrest on July 29, 2017.
On Monday, at the opening of a trial in the NSW Supreme Court, Crown prosecutor Lincoln Crowley, QC, said the conspiracy was “formed and developed” when the men used apps including Telegram to contact an older brother fighting alongside Islamic State in Syria, and another person called “The Controller” who has not been identified.
Mr Crowley said The Controller sent instructions on how to make the bomb and lethal gas, suggested possible places to deploy the gas, and gave tips about timing and weather conditions.
A jury of nine women and three men was told Khaled Khayat prepared ingredients for the gas at his home before taking it to Mahmoud Khayat’s home in Punchbowl, where a “test” was done in a carport. The pair were under police surveillance and were arrested that day.
Mr Crowley said the brothers were influenced by events in Syria, which “vibrated all the way through to the backyards of the accused men, their garages and their homes here in Sydney”.
He said the acts planned by the men would have been “designed to demonstrate to the unbelievers the righteousness of their particular belief in Islam”, but added, “the religion of Islam is not on trial here”.
Mr Crowley said the explosive – referred to in one message as “the gift” – was going to be placed on an Etihad flight hidden inside a meat mincer on July 15. He said the explosive was brought as far as the lobby of the airport before the plan was aborted.
The court heard one component of the device was bought on eBay, while other crucial elements were sent in a package from Turkey in mid-April 2017 using courier service DHL.
Mr Crowley said after the bomb was taken from the airport it was brought to a home in Surry Hills and dismantled. He said the components were placed in plastic bags which were stored in the garage of Khaled Khayat at Lakemba.Police allegedly discovered the components in the garage two weeks later, with the fingerprints of both brothers on the plastic bags the pieces were wrapped in.
Mr Crowley said Khaled Khayat made “a range of extensive admissions” to police upon his arrest and said he was acting alone, while Mahmoud Khayat denied involvement in the plot.
He said police found a sermon on the phones of both brothers which said, in part, “god defeat all of the infidels, disbelievers” and “oh god bring down the airplanes”.
The trial continues before Justice Christine Adamson.

Did they think of that because Allah made them do it? Read at least chapters 8 and 9 of the Qur’an to get a clue.

Here is an awesome article from a Muslim journalist. Sen. Anning, NSW deserves an apology.

There is nothing awesome about this article. It’s a joke!
Did you read this carefully?
What a GARBAGE POS! –
Ilhan Omar Doesn’t Represent American Muslims, She Represents Islamists
BTW, moron, MUSLIMS practice ISLAM and that is what Omar is doing. There is no such thing as “moderate” Islam. You cannot reform Islam. If you do then you are considered an apostate.
It is NOT up to the U.S. to assimilate her. She came here as a refugee. Maybe her parents should have chosen a different country. MILLIONS want to come here! Just look at the invasion at our southern border and those that want to come here legally. It is not our fault she REJECTS all the U.S. stands for. If she doesn’t like it, LEAVE!
Huh?
“As we pan through her tweets, interviews, and legislative work, we’re looking for American values that transcend race, color, and creed. Those American values aren’t defined by whether she practices Islam, chooses to wear a hijab, and so forth — those factors are absolutely irrelevant here. We’re looking to see if she can isolate the values that gave rise to a nation she and her family sought refuge in from war-torn Somalia.”
Yes wearing a hijab because ISLAM requires it, is REJECTING AMERICAN VALUES!
Islam transcends any kind of assimilation. She is not compartmentalizing Islam as you would like.
YOU are trying to do that..
“Yet, as a Muslim reformer, my concern is less with Omar and more so with the debilitating chaos, controversy, and polarizing communication breakdown she brings. That is what Islamists do. They create chaos because they thrive in chaos.”
What a load of shiiiiit. Omar is acting on her “religion” and that is what Islam brings.
As a “Muslim reformist” whatever that is, YOU KNOW THAT!
“Shireen Qudosi is a Muslim American reformer and writer on faith, identity and belong-ing. She is the co-founder of Toke for Tolerance, a radically honest interfaith festival, and she campaigns to challenge alienation in theological spaces. ”
No thanks.
NO INTERFAITH here!
This person is Muslim apologist that LIES. What piece of garbage this is.

Breaking: Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Trump on Illegal Immigrant Detention
(WHY WASN’T THIS UNANIMOUS! Only a 5 to 4 vote)
By Randy DeSoto

The Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration, ruling that immigrants with criminal records can be detained and held indefinitely while they await deportation proceedings.
In the 5-4 decision, the high court overruled the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which decided in 2016 that immigrants with criminal records can only be detained by federal authorities if the detention occurs soon after he or she is released from jail, The Hill reported.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, and Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh in the ruling.

The Democrats are having a hissy-fit; the traitors should be indicted for treason. I am so damn sick of the fetid betrayers, the Democrats and every Leftist bent on the downfall of the Republic. Hell, if the American electorate is so damn imbecilic, apathetic or treasonous, they should be shipped, unceremoniously, to North Korea, Venezuela or one of their choice Commie paradises. Venting.

This is a case that I was not aware of, does the fact that this case is ongoing suggest that when certain people move to a new location, a disproportionate number are prepared to resort to religiously and politically mandated violence without justification against other people resident there ?

The media hides allot stuff. I don’t know how laws work in other countries.
All I know is Islam should be on trial and is inseparable from the person unless the person leaves it. It’s so crazy out there. I look at the U.S. and I can hardly take in the ridiculous cases ushered to the U.S.S.C. and how anti American some of the black robes are. The next case maybe trannies using opposite sex bathrooms. I hope they take it on. Again, how ridiculous the west has gotten! This is clear cut mental illness.
Crown Prosecutor Lincoln Crowley said the acts planned by the jihad brothers would have been “designed to demonstrate to the unbelievers the righteousness of their particular belief in Islam,” but added, “the religion of Islam is not on trial here.”

Meanwhile other religion(s) are opening medical clinics, building schools and hospitals, digging wells, sending their youth to erect buildings, providing food and the necessities of life, to all races and people groups.

We have just had a catastrophic event in our sister nation New Zealand as you all know by now. Although it’s a tragedy it’s not surprising it hadn’t happened sooner. Our governments do not listen to the concerns of its citizens and this is the result.
What absolutely get me though, is how ready, how willing everyone is to comfort, empathise and cosy up to these very people who’s doctrine plans devastating carnage like this terror plot in Australia!
Anyone who has a negative view or speaks against it are vilified as bigots, racist or extremists! It’s pathetic.
This ideology is extreme, it’s violent and it’s relentless. We have to continue to fight it at all cost and be just as focused and relentless to stop it and to defend our values, culture and future without Islam!
These violent, psychotic cowards need to be gassed by capital punishment and by an infidel, Christian or Jew so they are humiliated.

Crown prosecutor Crowley qualified himself when he said, “the religion of Islam is not on trial here.” Excuse me, but Islam is always on trial, especially when two nutjobs plot to kill hundreds of “infidels.” That’s Islam in action.
