<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nOur buddy, Aunty Brat<\/a>, sends us a link to the news that the Australian authorities got wind of a plot to randomly snatch citizens off the street and publicly behead them, for whatever reason. According to Homeland Security Newswire<\/a>, it didn’t work so well for our goat-loving friends.<\/p>\n The planned public attack would have been similar to the murder of Lee Rigby, a British soldiers who was attacked and killed in May 2013 by two Nigerian-born Muslim converts near the Royal Artillery Barracks in southeast London.<\/p>\n More than 800 police officers were involved in raids in Sydney\u2019s north-west early Thursday morning, detaining fifteen people.<\/p>\n The Sydney Morning Herald reports that two men were charged and nine people released. Under Australia\u2019s counterterrorism laws, those detained could be held for two weeks without charge.<\/p>\n One of the two men, Omarjan Azari, 22, appeared in Sydney central court on Thursday afternoon to face charges of preparing to commit a terrorist act. The police said he conspired to commit the public beheading with the help of another man, Mohammad Baryalei, a former Sydney bouncer and actor of Afghan origin.<\/p>\n The Australian intelligence service said Baryalei is believed to be the highest-ranking Australian in Islamic State.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n While I commend the Australian police, I shudder to think what would happen in this country if such a plot were discovered. There are a couple of scenarios I can imagine, none of which would be very beneficial. But, hey, they might surprise me. I know my few acres will remain jihadist-free.<\/p>\n I suppose that is what would happen if one side declares a war’s end without the consent of the other. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
