Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard called Sydney’s Bondi Beach attack an Islamist terror attack and said this is a direct result of the “massive influx of Islamists to Australia”. Gabbard said it is probably took late for Europe and Australia but not yet for the US. “It is not too late for the United States of America. But it soon will be. Thankfully, President Trump has prioritized securing our borders and deporting known and suspected terrorists, and stopping mass, unvetted migration that puts Americans at risk,” Tulsi Gabbard wrote in her message. “The tragic Islamist terror attack against those at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia sadly should not come as a surprise to anyone. This is the direct result of the massive influx of Islamists to Australia. Their goal is not only the Islamization of Australia but the entire world—including the United States. Islamists and Islamism is the greatest threat to the freedom, security, and prosperity of the United States and the entire world. It is probably too late for Europe—and maybe Australia,” she wrote. 50-year-old Sajid Akram and his son Naveed Akram killed 15 people and injured dozens in a mass shooting at a Hanukkah festival on Bondi Beach. Sajid was killed in an exchange of fire with the cops at the scene. Naveed has been charged with 59 offences, including 15 counts of murder and one of committing a terrorist act. This was Australia’s deadliest shooting since 1996. Police have designated the attack a terrorist incident, with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese saying it appears to have been “motivated by Islamic State” group ideology.
Zohran Mamdani vs councilwoman Paladino over ‘Islam terrorism’
While Gabbard, speaking from her position, denounced the ‘Islamist terror’; a feud erupted between New York mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and NYC councilwoman Vickie Paladino. The councilwoman called for the expulsion of Muslims from Western nations and then deleted the message, facing backlash. One of the criticisms came from Mamdani who said ‘vile Islamophobia’ has no place in New York City. “We’re in the midst of a global jihad the likes of which the world has never seen, and we cannot ignore it. We need to take very seriously the need to begin the expulsion of Muslims from western nations, or at the very least the severe sanction of them within western borders,” she said in her now-deleted post. “A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city,” Mamdani said.
