Pauline Hanson makes explosive claims about the reasons behind Monday night’s terrorist attack – which she calls the Albanian government

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has accused the Albanian government of importing people who do not adopt the laws and values ​​of the countries they settle in.

Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was reportedly attacked by a knife-wielding terrorist on Monday night while the priest was giving a sermon at Christ The Good Shepherd Church in the western Sydney suburb of Wakeley.

The teenager who allegedly stabbed the bishop justified his actions by telling police the Christian leader had ‘sworn’ to ‘my prophet’ and reportedly screamed the Islamic phrase ‘Allahu Akbar’.

The Australian National Imams Council and other individual Muslims have condemned the attack on Bishop Emmanuel.

“These attacks are appalling and have no place in Australia, particularly in places of worship and against religious leaders,” the Imams Council said in a statement.

Senator Hanson claims the viscous stabbing, which police are treating as a terrorist attack, was the result of importing people with an ‘Islamist ideology’ who ‘do not adopt the laws and values ​​of the countries they settle in’.

“Instead, they demand that their fundamentalism is simply accepted and adopted in their new countries, and they use violence or radicalize young people to violence in perverse attempts to achieve this goal or attack those who oppose them,” she said.

‘Islamist ideology, which seeks to impose fundamentalist Islam across the world, is completely incompatible with Australian values ​​of freedom, democracy and religious tolerance.’

Senator Hanson claimed Australia was experiencing a rise in radical Islam with ‘extremist Islamic preachers in Australia calling for jihad and death – and getting away with it’ and ‘the intimidation and violence we have seen directed at Jewish Australians’.

She claimed that the ‘most effective solution’ to this problem is ‘people with such an ideology are never allowed to come here’, but the opposite happened under the Albanian government.

“Labour doesn’t care about the threat they represent and continues to import this ideology into Australia to shore up support for its Western Sydney MPs,” she said.

‘The Albanian government has fallen over itself to issue visas so that people who overwhelmingly support the terrorist group Hamas can escape the consequences of Hamas’ terrorist attacks on Israel.

‘When will the major parties wake up and stop importing people and ideologies that are completely incompatible with Australia and its way of life?’

Senator Hanson’s comments come after the alleged terrorist attack on a bishop in Sydney

Monday the shocking attack, which was streamed live on YouTube by church cameras, came while Bishop Emmanuel was delivering a sermon.

The bishop was speaking from the altar when a man dressed in a dark hoodie strolled up and suddenly lunged at him, swinging furiously at the elderly priest’s head and neck.

The alleged attacker was seen laughing at terrified onlookers as he was pinned down after injuring Bishop Emmanuel, Father Isaac Royel and two others.

One of the men involved in restraining the teenager before police arrived described how he approached the teenager from behind and forcefully pushed him to the ground.

“He kept saying, ‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,'” the man said in a video posted on social media.

Police arrested the attacker at the scene and were forced to hold him inside the church for his own safety after a crowd gathered outside and demanded the attacker be brought out.

At a press conference early Tuesday morning in Sydney, NSW Commissioner Karen Webb declared the attack a ‘terrorist incident’.

“We believe there are elements that are complacent about religiously motivated extremism,” she said.

AFP Commissioner Reece Kershaw was asked to confirm whether the teenager had an Islamic motivation, but despite witness testimony he would not say anything.

“We have a lot of intelligence to go through and confirm,” he said.

‘I can’t go through with it. One of the things I would say is a disgraceful act by the community that attacked the police in that place.’

ASIO chief Mike Burgess was asked if he was aware of the comments and if the bishop had said or done anything to trigger the attack.

“We are aware of those comments and everything else is open lines of inquiry to understand why the individual got to where they did,” he said.
