Sydney knife attack

There's not. The mall knife guy wasn't Islamic, and we're still waiting to see what motive the church attacker had. I can't remember the last time we had an Islamic terrorist attack in Australia. I'm not even sure we've ever had one.

Fair one, I keep seeing ISIS mentioned alongside these attacks, across various platforms, but I guess that's just the narrative people want to push.

You have. Just not one with huge death tolls. Doesn't seem like it's more of problem there than anywhere else though its just people pushing their agendas online.

I think this Islamist as only heard parts of the speeches of Mar Mari Emmanuel.

This is a short clip from a video he made about visiting Gaza, and wanting to give the people of Gaza a voice;

Yes, Emmanuel has been outspoken against Islam, and described Mohammed as a 'failure', but he's also been highly critical of Israel's war on Gaza.

Naturally, pro-Islamist media is trying to spin this attempted murder as 'He was probably stabbed because he spoke up fo Palestinians.'


:rolleyes:

I can't find any Islamic terrorist attacks on this list.

The 2017 Queanbeyan stabbing (1 victim) and the 2017 Brighton siege (1 victim) might qualify if your definition is flexible enough (though it would have to be very flexible indeed) but they were committed by random nutters without any connection to terrorist organisations, and Islamic ideology was not considered a motivating factor.

Several on the Wikipedia page.
 
Religion of peace strikes again.

A 16-year-old boy accused of stabbing two Christian clerics during a Sydney church service has been charged by police with terrorism offenses.

Authorities said the stabbing was declared a terrorist act because of the teenager’s suspected religious motivation and that the boy traveled up to 90 minutes from his home to the Christ the Good Shepherd Church in Sydney’s western suburbs.

The teen spoke in Arabic about the Prophet Muhammad being insulted after he stabbed Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel and the Rev. Isaac Royel during Monday night’s Assyrian Orthodox service. He was later overpowered by parishioners, sustaining severe hand injuries.

There's a few in that list. I counted around 9.

List the attacks that actually occurred and were defined by authorities as Islamic terrorist attacks.

I was going off the Wiki posted below where you said you "didn't find any Islamic terrorist attacks there."

Literally the first one in 1915 at the 'battle of the broken hill" was a terrorist attack carried out by a Muslim, along with various others listed throughout the page. As I said, I counted around 9. You're welcome to look through them. I was just a little confused as to how you didn't find any when they're all right there on the page.

Why only the ones that occurred?

Because that was the subject. I said I wasn't aware of any Islamic terrorist attacks in Australia. I didn't say planned attacks, I said attacks.

Dis86 said:
Surely those that were prevented are as pertinent?

No, because they never occurred. I asked for examples of actual attacks.

Or does terrorist intent not count as long as there's a suitable police force?

It would count in another context, where it was actually relevant.

If you assuming I hadn't checked the list myself in advance, you're badly mistaken.

The Battle of Broken Hill was not a terrorist attack. The Wikipedia article says one of the perpetrators left a note indicating that he was motivated by 'personal grievances against a local food safety inspector.'

I asked for examples of Islamic terrorist attacks that were defined as Islamic terrorist attacks by the authorities. Broken Hill doesn't fall into that category.

So it's incorrect of me to say that a Wiki page entitled 'Terrorism in Australia' and looking up attacks carried out by Muslims doesn't count? Are you saying none of them qualify as terrorist attacks? I'm obviously assuming the accuracy of the Wiki itself here and couldn't comment on each one individually.
