Counter-terrorism police arrest schoolboys in Sydney

ONE of two schoolboys ­arrested yesterday as they were allegedly preparing to behead someone in Sydney’s southwest is the son of a convicted terrorist.

Police swooped on the 16-year-olds in a laneway behind a Bankstown mosque about midday, hours after the pair allegedly bought two bayonets at a gun shop.

The threat of an attack was considered imminent and police wearing protective vests descended on the prayer hall after officers received information about the alleged purchase of the knives.

The pair allegedly also had pieces of paper with religious statements written on them that were to be read out while they carried out a beheading. It is understood police were examining the documents to see if they contained information on who was to be targeted in the beheading. Police said speculation the pair were heading for nearby Bankstown police station had not been established.

One boy was known to counter-terrorism police as a teenage radical after he gained notoriety when he refused to stand for the national anthem as a schoolboy at East Hills High School last year.

His home was raided during the September 2014 Operation Appleby raids, Australia’s largest counter-terrorism operation to date.

Glad the police there are doing their job, wish they didn’t have to and that politicians had done their job keeping them out in the first place.

It's more than a pity; it's a tragedy that Australia does not use the death penalty.

To state the obvious...: As documented in koranimal videos, anyone can find online, a 12-year old koranimalkid can slit your wife's or your children's throats as readily as a fat 300-pound koranimal.

“schoolboys “!

Schoolboys ­don’t chop heads off. Is there any place on Earth where you can go where there are no muzzards?

Schoolboys ­don’t chop heads off.

Unfortunately they can and do. And at least here in Australia, it's important to talk about that because one of the places we've identified serious radicalisation issues are in certain government high schools in both New South Wales and Victoria - we have a few schools that have produced a disturbing number of problems recently and the education departments in those states seem to want to pretend that that can't happen in their wonderfully secular system.

Frankly, the Islamic private schools seem to be doing a decent job of civilising their students and preventing radicalisation while certain state schools in areas with significant Muslim populations have their heads in the sand and want to pretend it isn't happening, and won't do anything about it for fear of being seen as intolerant.
