A radical Islamic preacher at a mosque in Sydney’s Bankstown (Australia) has issued calls for jihad and urged Australian Muslims to engage in overseas conflicts. The preacher also rejected the Australian flag was said the ISIS flag was flag for Muslims.
This sermon, which primarily addressed the ongoing conflict in Israel and Palestine, reflects a disturbing trend of importing Middle Eastern issues into Western societies like Australia.
Australia and the West’s involvement in these Middle Eastern conflicts is also problematic, as it often leads to the tragic loss of armed forces with little to no gain in national security.
The presence of individuals with allegiances to foreign flags and causes, as admitted by the Islamic preacher in Bankstown, poses a threat. This is an issue not only in Australia, but also in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, and other European nations.
None of this is to undermine religious freedom or free speech. However, it’s important to note that violence and incitement to violence are neither a legitimate part of free speech nor religion.
A disturbing report has come from The Australian today about a radical Islamic preacher speaking at a mosque in Sydney’s Bankstown on Friday.
The Muslim preacher repeatedly calls for jihad and for Muslims to take up arms in overseas conflicts.
He attacks Australia, and Australians, and says the Australian flag is “not our flag” but the flag of ISIS (Islamic State) is the flag of Muslims, even Muslims in Australia.
Watch the video of the sermon this preacher gives, especially from the 13-minute mark.
The preacher was speaking primarily about the conflict happening in Israel and Palestine right now.
I have been loathe to delve into this issue because there is great historical complexity around that situation, and there are problems and issues that abound on all sides.
What I want out of that conflict is its end, so that there are no more unnecessary deaths and also so that it does not boil over into World War Three, a direction it appears to be heading in, according to many observers.
That being said, the importation of Middle Eastern problems into Australia and other Western nations is worrisome, to say the least.
And at worst, it could become a catalyst for murder and mayhem in our midst.
Let me go one step further, and say the involvement of Australia (and the West) in Middle Eastern problems is also worrisome, for it results in the deaths of the men and women in our armed forces, with little to no national security gain.
(As an aside, we really shouldn’t be involving ourselves with troop engagement, military aid, or foreign aid, with any other part of the world — Eastern Europe included — as sticking your bib in where it doesn’t belong often ends with you getting a blood lip, nose, or black eye.)
In fact, because we’ve all imported a bunch of people with loyalties to another flag and another cause, as the Islamic preacher in Bankstown declared, the reality is engagement in the Middle East probably causes national security issues.
We have a big problem in Australia, as does the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, and many European nations.
I’ve quoted (and posted) this before, but President Donald Trump summed up that problem when he read out the lyrics to the Al Wilson song The Snake:
On her way to work one morning
Down the path alongside the lake
A tender-hearted woman saw a poor half-frozen snake
"Take me in, oh, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in, tender woman," sighed the vicious snake.Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
Now she stroked his pretty skin again and then she kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thank you, that snake gave her a vicious bite"I saved you," cried the woman,
"And you've bit me, heavens why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die."
"Oh, shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin,
"Now you knew damn well I was a snake before you brought me in."— President Donald Trump
When I was a Member of the Australian House of Representatives, I came under considerable attack from the Left and the fake news legacy media (but I repeat myself) for raising concerns about radical Islam in our midst.
I recall speaking at a Reclaim Australia rally in my hometown of Mackay where I declared some uncomfortable truths about radical Islam.
I was also attacked when I gave repeated speeches in the Federal Parliament warning about the growing problem of radical Islamism in Australia.
Revisiting all those speeches now, in light of this sermon at that Bankstown mosque, I feel vindicated.
Let me be clear: I do not — and will never — support infringing upon the religious freedom or free speech of Muslims in Australia.
But imported violence, and threats or incitement to violence are neither a legitimate part of free speech nor religion.
Quite frankly, that should all be left in the Middle East for them to sort out, rather than having it in the West as our problem.
Until next time, God bless you, your family and nation.
Take care,

Yes, if they can’t accept that they are Australian with Australian values they should be where they came from. Religious leaders like this should be deported for inciting violence.
Nobody is addressing the fact that the original "attack" on Israel was a false flag. Israel's defence forces stood down to allow it to take place. There's also the fact that Israel established Hamas in the first place and continues to fund it. So it was planned.
