Australia’s government has announced plans to keep radical Islamist preachers from entering their nation.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said he was ordering the moves because of rising tensions in the nation following a series of raids in the Muslim community of men who are directly connected to ISIS and other Islamic terrorist organizations.
“What we want to do is to ensure that known preachers of hate do not come to this country to peddle their divisive extremist message,” Abbott during a press conference in Sydney. “What I’m doing is declaring that we will henceforth have a new system in place which will ensure that preachers of hate can’t come to Australia to peddle their extreme, divisive and alien ideologies.”
Australia says at least 160 citizens have gone to the Middle East to work for ISIS and 20 have returned to the country and are under surveillance.
Australian Muslims claim they are being unfairly targeted in not allowing preachers of their own choosing form entering the country.
A man who converted to Islam and idolized Islamic terrorists like Osama Bin Laden stormed his former employer and cut the head off a woman working there.
Police in Moore, Oklahoma say that 30-year-old Alton Nolen had “recently converted to Islam” and had been going around the workplace trying to get others to convert to Islam.
Nolen drove to his former employer and attacked Colleen Huffort, 54, with a knife he had with him. He chanted “allahu akbar” and other Islamic slogans during the attack where he beheaded the woman in the same manner ISIS terrorists have done to their hostages.
A reserve sheriff’s deputy that works at the factory shot Nolen.
The FBI has been called in to investigate the incident and has initially claimed it was an example of “workplace violence.” Conservative members of Congress, who point out that Nolen’s Facebook page showed him in full Islamic attire, professing extremist beliefs and posting admiration for Islamic terrorists, have denounced the FBI’s claim.
The official media outlet for the terrorist group al-Qaeda is planning an English language magazine aimed at “Western Jihadists.”
In a video posting to YouTube, the group quotes American Muslim leader Malcolm X and then introduces the new magazine they call “Resurgence.”
The media group, al-Sahab, is the same group that has been releasing videos and messages from Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri for years. They also help produce another magazine written for middle eastern jihadists with instructions on carrying out attacks and preparations for the assaults.
Observers say the announcement gives further proof of a break between senior Al-Qaeda leadership and groups in Syria and Iraq that had aligned with the international terror network.
The group is also trying to re-establish itself as the world leader when it comes to Islamic jihadism.
Out of the top ten countries for oppression against Christians, nine of them are because of Islamic Extremism.
The annual World Watch List was released yesterday showing that Islamic extremism is a threat worldwide. Of the top ten, only North Korea, which was ranked number one for the 12th straight year, does not have Islamic extremism driving its persecution of Christians.
The rest of the top ten: Somalia, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Maldives, Pakistan, Iran and Yemen.
The overall list shows the top 50 nations worldwide that contain levels of persecution against Christians. 27 of the 50 listed have what is considered “severe” levels of prosecution according to Open Doors, which conducts the survey.
Only one nation in the top 50 is located outside of Asia and Africa. Colombia is ranked 25th on the list despite Christianity being the main religion in the nation. The nation routinely has Christians attacked by FARC rebels and drug cartels who oppose acts of Christian charity.
