We were all witnesses, via our PC’s or TV’s to the tragedy that unfolded in Sydney’s Martin Place.
For over 16 hours, an Iranian Muslim Cleric named Man Haron Monis – known to police – kept the staff and patrons of the popular Lindt Café, hostage.
Monis was granted political asylum in 2001. He was not a model citizen or something even close, for that matter. He was on bail for a string of violent offences, including being an accessory to the murder of his ex-wife. He was also facing more than 50 sexual and indecent assault charges and had a conviction for sending abusive letters to families of deceased Australian soldiers.
The siege ended with five hostages fleeing the Café and Police storming the gunmen.
Monis was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Café Manager, Tori Johnson, 34, was shot as he wrestled Monis, allowing patrons to escape. Sydney Lawyer and mother-of-three, Katrina Dawson, 38, was killed shielding a pregnant colleague from gunfire. Both were pronounced dead after being taken to hospital.
As Police continue to go over the evidence as they search for answers, the media and the public-at-large quickly go back to the self-styled ‘kumbaya’ slumber, with the announcement of a campaign entitled, ‘I’ll ride with you.’
No, it’s not support for the families of Tori Johnson or Katrina Dawson, nor is it for the three other women shot at the scene, nor the Police Officer that was shot. It’s not even for other members of the population, traumatized by this unfamiliar scene down-under.
Believe it or not, the campaign is for non-Muslims to ride with Muslims on public transport, who might be concerned at a public backlash, for what occurred at Martin Place.
As readers of news from this or other sites are familiar with the disgraceful spectacle of Muslims convincing dhimmis, liberals and assorted apologists, that they are the victims, when in fact they are the perpetrators.
So, let’s look at some more real victims of Muslims terror and see how many Aussies can tell the difference:
Thousands of Buddhist teachers and Children in Thailand have been slaughtered by Muslims in the past ten years. Will you ride with them?
Scores of Catholics in The Philippines have been killed by Muslims in the past few years. Will you ride with them?
Thousands of Hindu girls have been kidnapped, raped, forcibly converted to Islam and forcibly married in recent years. Will you ride with them?
More Christians were slaughtered in Nigeria than anywhere else in the world for the past two years. Will you ride with them?
Christians are being systematically forcibly converted to Islam or killed or persecuted in Kenya and Somalia and Ethiopia. Will you ride with them?
In the West, thousands of young girls were victims of the endless stream of Muslim gangs grooming them for prostitution in Britain. Will you ride with them?
Countries in Northern Europe have seen drastic increases in young girls getting raped on par with the drastic increase in Muslim immigration.
So, I ll Ask you again Australia, who will you ride with?
Some apologists will say, ‘but these actions are not what Islam is’.. WRONG.
All the Imams, Clerics, Muftis and ‘Scholars’ can condemn such actions until they are blue in the face, but the fact is, the Koran is a book full of hate speech directed at non-Muslims.
Here is a very brief sample of the words from Islam’s’ holy book:
002.216: Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.
002.19: And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.
002.244: Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things.
003.056: “As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.”
003.151: Soon shall we cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: And evil is the home of the wrong-doers!
004.074: Let those fight in the cause of Allah Who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah,- whether he is slain or gets victory – Soon shall We give him a reward of great (value).
004.076: Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith Fight in the cause of Evil: So fight ye against the friends of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan.
004.089: They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks;-
004.095: Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward.
004.104: And slacken not in following up the enemy: If ye are suffering hardships, they are suffering similar hardships; but ye have Hope from Allah, while they have none. And Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
005.033: The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter;
008.012: Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): “I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.”
008.039: And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do.
008.060: Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.
008.065: O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers: for these are a people without understanding.
009.005: But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
009.014: Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers,
009.029: Fight those who believe not in Allah or the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
009.030: The Jews call ‘Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
009.038: O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter.
009.041: Go ye forth, (whether equipped) lightly or heavily, and strive and struggle, with your goods and your persons, in the cause of Allah. That is best for you, if ye (but) knew.
009.073: O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell,- an evil refuge indeed.
009.088: But the Messenger, and those who believe with him, strive and fight with their wealth and their persons: for them are (all) good things: and it is they who will prosper.
009.111: Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur’an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.
009.123: O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.
021.043: Or have they gods that can guard them from Us? They have no power to aid themselves, nor can they be defended from us.
025.052: Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness, with the (Qur’an).
047.004: Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah’s Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.
047.035: Be not weary and faint-hearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost: for Allah is with you, and will never put you in loss for your (good) deeds.
061.004: Truly Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure.
061.011-12: That ye believe in Allah and His Messenger, and that ye strive (your utmost) in the Cause of Allah, with your property and your persons: That will be best for you, if ye but knew! He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, and to beautiful mansions in Gardens of Eternity: that is indeed the Supreme Achievement.
066.009: O Prophet! Strive hard against the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell, – an evil refuge (indeed).
