This is not, of course, the same Daniel Greenfield who writes at FrontPage Magazine and here at Jihad Watch.
Yet another convert to Islam gets the idea that his new, peaceful religion commands him to commit violence against unbelievers. Where did Daniel Greenfield get this idea? Has his mosque been investigated? Why not?
“Sutherland man arrested on Christmas Eve over alleged terror attack plans,” by Sally Rawsthorne, Sydney Morning Herald, December 24, 2021:
Counter-terror police say that alleged aspiring jihadist Daniel Greenfield was allegedly well into planning a terror attack when they arrested him in Sutherland on Christmas Eve.
The 34-year-old had planned to attack police officers, government officials and other Muslims that he deemed insufficiently devout, Detective Superintendent Michael Sheehy told reporters on Friday morning.
“This individual is [allegedly] posting a significant amount of material about bombings and manufacturing explosives,” Det Supt Sheehy said.
“We will suggest he was planning to commit a terrorist attack that would be an act of violence against law enforcement.
“We are at the point where through the potential rapid escalation we needed to act now to ensure the safety of the community.”
Police raided Mr Greenfield’s home on the Kingsway on Friday, arresting him as he left his house early in the morning.
Police sources not authorised to speak on the record say that investigators from NSW’s Joint Counter Terrorism Team have seized USBs, SD cards and knives in his bedroom from the address.
Mr Greenfield was charged with knowingly collecting a document connected with terrorism and knowingly being a member of the Islamic State….
Police will allege he claimed to be a member of ISIS.
Police say that attempts to deradicalise Mr Greenfield, who has been known to counter-terror police since 2016, were unsuccessful.
“He refused to stay in that program and continued to promote ISIS material online.”
Police would not comment on whether Mr Greenfield was communicating with members of ISIS, was posting ISIS propaganda or both.
