Australia: Off-duty cops shout ‘Allahu akbar’ at party, Muslim neighbor files complaint for ‘racial insult’
“If I said what they said, they’d jump over the fence and arrest me,” the Muslim complainant claimed.
Actually, it is unlikely that he would have been arrested just for screaming “Allahu akbar,” but they also shouted “Allahu Akbar boom” and “Hezbollah.” If he shouted those things, they would have been justified at least in checking out what he was doing. Islamic jihad terrorism is a real phenomenon, and that’s why the phrases are charged. The Muslim is claiming victim status here for words shouted at a party when he should really be angry at all the jihadis who have screamed “Allahu akbar” while killing people.
NSW police say off-duty officers’ shouts of ‘Allahu Akbar boom’ after dispute with Muslim man were ‘banter between friends’
by Daisy Dumas, Guardian, March 15, 2025:
A NSW police internal investigation has found that off-duty officers who allegedly shouted “Allahu Akbar boom” and “Hezbollah” at a Christmas party after a verbal dispute with a Muslim man who lived next door were indulging in “banter between friends”.
The incident allegedly took place on 13 December at Glenmore Park in western Sydney, after the man complained to his neighbours about water from their swimming pool leaking into his property.
In CCTV footage viewed by Guardian Australia, people at the party can be heard shouting “Allahu Akbar” and “Allahu Akbar boom”. More than an hour later, a number of voices chant “Allahu Akbar” in unison, followed by laughter, and a call of “Hezbollah”, followed by laughter….
The man filed a complaint to NSW police on 15 January, documents seen by Guardian Australia show. He then attended an interview at Nepean police station on 2 February.
He told officers he “was asking … [the party guests] to take it easy as they were flooding my place, instead they decided to racially insult us because we are Muslims”.
A police inspector who dealt with the complaint emailed his findings to the man on 28 February.
“What I can say from the outset, which is extremely positive, is that the chanting you heard was not directed at you in any way. I can definitely understand how you came to this conclusion,” the inspector wrote….
The man told Guardian Australia the shouting made him and his family feel unsafe and that he now questioned whether he could trust the police.
“Were they saying I’m a suicide bomber or were they threatening me with a bomb?” he said.
“If I said what they said, they’d jump over the fence and arrest me,” the man said….
