Sydney church stabbing: Chilling audio circulates among Muslims PRAISING alleged teen terrorist: ‘That little boy is a soldier’

Chilling audio of a man praising the teenager who allegedly repeatedly stabbed a Christian bishop and claiming that “we should all aspire to be like him” has been circulating on social media.

The 16-year-old, who is under arrest and cannot be named for legal reasons, is alleged to have stabbed Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel while delivering a livestreamed sermon to parishioners at Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley, western Sydney, on Monday. after 7 p.m.

The incident sparked a riot outside the church, with a crowd of 2,000 people chanting “bring him out” and “an eye for an eye” as police kept him inside the building out of fear for his own safety.

On Wednesday evening, police announced they had arrested a 19-year-old man – the first to be prosecuted over the ‘public order incident’.

The attack and its ugly aftermath, which left several officers injured by projectiles and about fifty police vehicles damaged, were condemned across the political spectrum.

But now a WhatsApp voice message has emerged in which a man praises the alleged knifeman’s actions and claims the bishop ‘deserves to be slaughtered’.

“I’ll be honest with you: at the end of the day, anyone who speaks about the prophet (unintelligible Arabic) … deserves to be slaughtered, to be beaten, whatever you want to call it,” the man said.

‘This boy, 15, 16 years old, had the (unintelligible Arabic)… courage to do what he did.’

“We should all strive to be like this boy.”

The man claimed he was ‘jealous’ of the alleged knifeman’s actions.

NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb has labeled the alleged stabbing a ‘terror incident’.

Robert Gregory, chief executive of the Australian Jewish Association, strongly condemned the recording, suggesting the alleged attack was “likely to provide further inspiration to would-be terrorists in Australia and beyond”.

“It is shameful that there are people who praise a brutal Islamist terrorist who stabs an innocent religious leader,” he said.

“Australia has a serious and growing problem with Islamic extremism and we fear the government is not up to the task of protecting Australians.”

Religious leaders in Sydney met with NSW Premier Chris Minns the day after the stabbing.

Mr Minns thanked them for their “commitment to peace and unity” and said it was a “magnanimous gesture from our faith leaders to protect our communities”.

“We must remain calm and enforce the law,” he said.

He said the incident should highlight that violent extremism has no place in Australia.

“Almost all people who practice faith in this state would never participate in an act of violence.”

Mr Minns said if the group’s message reached just one person at risk of radicalisation, “it would have been worth it”.

The 16-year-old was eventually removed from the church in an armored police car and taken to an undisclosed hospital, where he underwent surgery for hand injuries sustained during the alleged attack.

He accidentally cut off one of his own fingers during the alleged attack, after rumors initially spread on social media that he had been injured by vigilantes.
