Sydney Opera House Targeted in Al Qaeda Magazine

A country known for its laid back, “no worries mate” attitude is on edge.
There’s tension after a picture of the Sydney Opera House appeared in the latest issue of an online terrorism magazine. Notice the reference to bomb-making instructions superimposed onto the image.
“Inspire” is an English-language magazine published on the web by associates of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). Some call the group the most active and dangerous of the organisation’s international branches. The magazine includes the picture on page 35, according to a report from 7 News in Australia. Just in case you had any reservations on just how pro-terrorism this publication is, take a read of this excerpt from a 7 News article:
The magazine, which contains information on terrorism and bomb making, features a picture of the dead al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden on the cover of its sixth edition, with the headline Sadness, Contentment & Aspiration.
Or take a look at one of the top stories from the Fall 2010 issue:
Australian police forces in New South Wales said they aren’t sure exactly how to interpret the impact of the photograph. Police commissioner Andrew Scipione told 7 News that the exposure of the image should shake Australians out of any false sense of complacency.
“If you thought the terrorism risk had diminished and gone away, then you are wrong,” Scipione said on Thursday. ”We should never become complacent when it comes to preventing acts of terrorism – so it is a really important wake-up call for us all.”
7 News reports that it is believed to be the first time the magazine has ever used a picture from a Western country other than the United States.
Authorities have checked the famous opera house for any sign of a threat and said they found no evidence that the building is in any danger. NSW Assistant Commissioner Peter Dein told 7 News, he‘s more concerned about the impact of the literature on the community’s vulnerable than on a terrorist attack.
The Australian government is keeping the terrorist threat level at medium, which ranks as the second least worrisome in the four category system. The country has been at the same medium ranking since 2003. The warning indicates that a terrorist attack could occur.

Posted on July 22, 2011 at 3:03pmHitler destroyed the Reichtstag, Bush – the Twin Towers and now this! This might be another false flag operation by the globalists to steal our natural rights and freedoms. These globalists are promoting fear and creating war for control of other nation’s natural resources. Their greed and exploitation is draining the economies of western democracies. The world is becoming a plutocracy under a one world governance. We had better wake up and ask ourselves… What is really going on here!

Posted on July 22, 2011 at 12:40pmWhy do we put up with this? The time has come to let it be known that if one more bomb goes off we will in turn carpet bomb their country and will kill millions of Musilims. You can say we are stooping to their level but I guarntee that it would only take one time and all of this BS would stop as once they know they will not get away with it they will go back to herding sheep and camels. Yes, it is a hard statement but sooner or later it must happen so let it be now before anymore damage is done and we suffer a hundred thousand deaths from such an attack. The countries that encourage them will all of a sudden have a change of heart and no longer support them. You can be nice for only so long and then you have to use a big stick. We use the excuse that we don’t know from where they came and do not wish to hurt innocents, so what? They count on that. How about where the pirates are operating from? We make a statement and eleminate a threat to free shipping. Something has to be done. Are we to wait for another Pearl Harbor before doing something? This is a war and our government will cry and wring their hands and claim “We did not know or think it could happen”. They will declare Martial Law and this government will have acheived what they have been waiting for and wanting. Then they can round up the real terrorists of the world according to Big Sis and Homeland Security, We The American White Middle Class People.

Posted on July 22, 2011 at 1:21pmI couldn’t agree with you more. I’d like to wipe out all the terrorist countries and to hell with collateral damage. Do they ever worry about collateral damage? No, and no one–not even the UN–condemns them for it. We should do now what we need to do and put an end to this, but we have a pro-muslim president who has even said he’s willing and eager to talk with the muslim brotherhood. What a disgusting administration we have, one who has bragged about appointing two practicing muslims to DHS.

Posted on July 22, 2011 at 3:23pmI came up with an idea during the opening gambit of Desert Storm that, I think, applies 10-fold today. Rather than the multimillion dollar stealth aircraft, etc., buy up a squadron or two of crop dusters, fill the tanks with bacon fat, and let ‘er go.

Posted on July 22, 2011 at 9:44amwhen mahammad was tempted by the devil in the cave, he did not turn away. He embraced the devil and started a theocracy for him based on hate and murder. the only perversion of islam that I see is the muzloons who say it is a religion of peace. Allah is the DEVIL and mahammad is his messenger. the CRAYON is their book of hate and intolerance. The sooner people realize this the better off we will be to deny this theocracy.

Sinking Islamist, They can screw up anybody’s country. I would like to see an English speaking country round em all up and ship em home. What a day for rejoicing that would be!
Theodore Roosevelt’s ideas on immigrants and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

Posted on July 22, 2011 at 2:49pmCassandra, “I wish the US would follow the Aussies”. If we did we would be unarmed and unable to defend ourselves, just like they are. Their government demanded their guns and they willingly gave them up. That same government prosecutes them for hate crimes if they even speak against the muslims. Do you really expect that government to protect their original, non muslim citizens? How can you possibly ask us to follow that line of madness?
If the Australian government cared about their citizens they would issue each landowner an M134A plus a ton of ammo.

Posted on July 22, 2011 at 8:21amThis magazine probably does not speak for the vast majority of Muslims. However, the more they put down in writing what their mentality is on terrorist attacks and the like, the less they can deny about who they really are: murderers in the name of religion. The less so-called peace loving Muslims renounce and condemn such magazines vehemently AND their purveyors, the more those who have had their doubts come to believe that Islam is not what so many claim it to be.
