He will today join the Grand Mufti of Australia and other leaders from the muslim community in speaking about the killing of NSW police accountant Curtis Cheng and the subsequent counter-terrorism raids, which led to the arrest of four people.
Kadomi will deliver a sermon to more than 400 worshippers inside the same mosque that just seven days earlier welcomed 15-year-old Farhad Jabar moments before he shot Cheng outside the Parramatta police headquarters.
"We had a spike come out of the rose," he told Fairfax Media.
"The rose is beautiful, but the spike will sting you.
"Farhad was a real wake-up call.
"To anyone who has crime in mind, if you come to this mosque we will tell the police.
"We live in this country, you must respect it."

Raban Alou, 18, remains in custody after Wednesday's raids, in which 200 officers stormed several homes in response to the shooting of the 58-year-old accountant Cheng outside police headquarters in Parramatta.
He can be held for another three days after investigators applied in court to increase the length of time he can be detained.
A 16-year-old, who can't be named, was released on Wednesday night without charge.
Both teenagers were students at Arthur Phillip High School, where radicalised 15-year-old killer Farhad Khalil Mohammad Jabar also attended.
Mustafa Dirani, 22, also a former student of the school, and Talal Alameddine, 22, were released earlier on Wednesday, also without charge.
A 17-year-old charged on Tuesday with assaulting police after allegedly supporting the killing in social media posts was in the same year as Jabar at Arthur Phillip High.

Some of those arrested had attended the same Parramatta mosque where Jabar spent time last Friday before the fatal shooting.
At least three of the four were targeted last September in the nation's largest counter-terrorism operation.
As well as examining how Jabar came to be radicalised, police are also investigating how he ended up with the .38 calibre revolver he used to kill Mr Cheng.

Exclusive footage obtained by 7 News shows 15-year-old Farhad Jabar walking along Church Street, dressed in a black robe he changed into after praying at the mosque.
The video shows the radicalised teenager waving a gun and shouting at police, while young children played at the Good Start daycare centre just metres away.
