Reports say 4 teens planned to buy guns, attack Jews in Sydney after Church stabbing
2024-05-02
[IsraelTimes] Four teenagers plotted to buy guns and attack Jewish people days after a bishop was stabbed in a Sydney church, news reports say, citing police documents.

Five teens, aged 14 to 17, were charged in a Sydney court on Thursday last week with a range of offenses including conspiring to engage in or planning a terrorist act.

Police alleged they all "adhered to a religiously motivated, violent mostly peaceful turban ideology" and were part of a network that included a 16-year-old boy charged with stabbing Assyrian Orthodox Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel on April 15 as a church service was being streamed online.
The church is Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley in Sydney's west. The unnamed stabby lad shouted something in Arabic before being thoroughly thrashed by angry parishoners, which is presumably why the authorities called it as a terrorist attack.

#2  “adhered to a religiously motivated, violent extremist ideology”

Could this possibly be Islam? Inquiring minds...
