[Western Australia] WA Muslims fear they could be targeted
WA Today ^ | 9/22/2014

Posted on 09/22/2014 5:18:44 PM PDT by markomalley

The Islamic Council of WA is planning to set up a hotline for its members in Western Australia, concerned Muslims will be targeted after vandals damaged a mosque in Sydney on Friday.

Last week more than 800 police raided homes in Sydney and Brisbane in the largest counter-terrorism operation ever in Australia.

One of the arrests involved 22-year-old Omarjan Azari, who is accused of plotting to kidnap a member of the public and have them beheaded.

After the raid, more than 200 members of the Muslim community in Sydney held a rally in the western suburbs, angry they were being unfairly targeted.

Islamic Council of WA spokesperson Abdullah Eshtewi said there was a lot of fear in Perth's Muslim community after the raids on the east coast.

"There are some real concerns, especially after what happened in Sydney with the vandalism on the Mosque," he told Fairfax Media.

"There are fears for the security of Muslim Australians and we have had reports of an individual been racially harassed, but we don't know if it's just rumour at the moment.

"We are setting up a hotline and we want members of the community to call the hotline or police if they get harassed or see any mosques getting vandalised.

"We are disappointed in the way the raids were handled and how it was leaked to the media."

Mr Eshtewi said the council hadn't heard from Premier Colin Barnett, who announced on Sunday he was planning to meet with Muslim leaders in WA.

The Premier said he wanted to meet with leaders to quell any unrest in the community and reaffirm to the Muslim community they are welcome in WA.

"We haven't been offered an invitation," Mr Eshtewi said.

"But we would definitely welcome a meeting with Mr Barnett."

All these people need to do is LEAVE AMERICA and never come back. Then they don’t have to worry about “phobias”.

And if/when the ‘next 9/11” happens here, watch the NASCAR Dads take matters into their own hands

Especially if it involves children

There you go. Muslims are more outraged about being arrested than one of them planning on butchering an innocent person.

They’re whining about vandals while they’re co-conspirators are planning on beheading Australians by the dozen.

Deport the lot of them. Do it now.

Just like liberals, it is always about them.

Last I checked, Australia has plenty of flights departing every day for Islamic paradises.

The mainstream media ALWAYS follows up with the template of MUSLIMS FEAR BACKLASH AND PROFILING after EVERY muslim terror attack.It’s almost like you should be ashamed that you don’t trust muslims or something according to them.Just for the record I do trust them......to follow their murderous nature!

Having looked all over since skimming the barbarians' whining, I've been unable to locate even ONE molecule of sympathy.

Send them back to their real homes, one way ticket, no return. All the Western nations need to collaborate and get them out; inviting a deadly cancer into your society and allowing it to fester and grow is suicide. Period. They have never fit in, never will and can only destroy. Deport and survive. No other choice.

The greatest anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collective in the history of civilization is still on the planet after nearly 1400 years, while lesser like collectives have been long since eradicated?
