Teen arrested over Online ‘Christchurch 2.0’ attack threat against Sydney Mosque
|
[KhaamaPress] In response to the alleged threats, the president of a mosque in Sydney stated that the community "deserves to feel secure and protected," urging authorities to address the alleged online threat with "the utmost urgency."
Following the online threat made against the newest mosque in southwestern Sydney, where a user claimed they intended to carry out a "Christchurch 2" attack, a 16-year-old boy was arrested in Western Australia.
The state police released a statement on Tuesday afternoon confirming that the teenager was arrested in Eaton, located in the southwestern part of Western Australia, just before 5 p.m. local time. He is now assisting the police in their investigation.
The threat was made online by a user who explicitly referred to the tragic 2019 Christchurch attack, suggesting a similar act of violence at the newly opened mosque in Sydney.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has condemned a violent mostly peaceful threat made against a mosque in southwestern Sydney. He described the act as "disgusting" and emphasized that Australia will not tolerate "racism and Islamophobia
 ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do...
On Tuesday, March 4, Albanese shared the news of the threat on social media, stating that those responsible must face the full force of the law. He reiterated that individuals behind such actions will not be tolerated in Australia.
Albanese wrote, "The authorities have my full support in their investigation of this matter. Racism and Islamophobia will not be tolerated." His strong statement came in response to an online threat directed at the newly opened al-Bayat al-Islami mosque in Sydney.
Australian media reported that the threat appeared in the comment section of the mosque’s Instagram page. The comment read, "I’m going to turn this place into Christchurch 2," referencing the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand that left 51 people dead.
The Premier of New South Wales, Chris Minns, announced that police are taking this threat "very seriously" and reiterated that Islamophobia will not be tolerated. He expressed particular concern given that Moslems across the state are attending prayers during Ramadan.
The incident has sparked widespread condemnation across Australia. The police have already initiated an investigation into the threat, but have stated that there is currently no risk to the community.
This threat highlights the ongoing challenges that minority communities face in Australia. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of unity and solidarity against racism and hate in all forms.
