A worshipper at the Narre Warren mosque said the teenager was upset about the recent cancellation of his passport and the police attention on him... Haider was also frustrated at what is happening overseas in Iraq and Syria and at the proposed new Australian terrorism laws that many Muslims see as targeting their community. Australian Federal Police acting commissioner Andrew Colvin said there was “no specific threats” made. In Narre Warren on Wednesday there was a deep sense of scepticism among the Muslim community about the police’s allegations, a sign of growing mistrust and alienation. One man, Mustafa, demanded to see the CCTV footage. Another said that the cancellation of passports had led to distrust of police and intelligence agencies. Police and politicians are ... anxious about anti-Muslim sentiment spilling out of control. Why were AFP, ASIO and vicpol harassing him? Why was his passport cancelled? Why was he called to the police station? What did police say to him at the station? Why wont Ken Lay release cctv footage of the incident? Why did vicpol confuse the IS flag with a Shahada flag as grounds for continued harassment? Why is the media refusing to report that the Independent Broad Based Anti-Corruption Commission is investigating the incident? Why act so surprised that anti-Muslim sentiment is out of control when federal and state governments are the ones spreading that hate in our communities? Everyone has a responsibility to call this bullshit out, everyone needs to speak out against the conditions that cultivated this incident.
