On Thursday, Australian authorities claimed they thwarted a plot by supporters of the Islamic State to grab random people off the street and then behead the captured citizens on videotape. Australia’s attorney general said that the massive raid, the largest counterterrorism operation in the nation’s history, involving more than 800 police officers and raids of at least twelve properties, was necessary because, “If the . . . police had not acted today, there is a likelihood that this would have happened.”
Australian prime minister Tony Abbott confirmed that the raids were prompted by intercepted phone calls, from an Australian of Afghan descent believed to be Mohammad Ali Baryalei.

It is called Sudden Jihad Syndrome, SJS, when a Moslem suddenly comes into full understanding of his religion and tries to follow Allah’s command to convert, kill, or subdue all unbelievers.
Which is why we should be very careful about Moslems and Islam.
