Fears rise of Parramatta revenge attacks
Police have appeal for calm amid fear of revenge attacks as shock at last Friday’s terrorist murder at Parramatta gives way to hate.
A Facebook tribute page has labeled the teenage gunman a hero and threatened to kill infidels.
Meanwhile far right wing groups are demanding an end to Islamic immigration.
Police have been called over simmering tensions in suburban Parramatta and a senior Islamic leader has been caught swearing and kicking at the media on a city street.
Social media is now alive with hate messages from both sides.
One page has been set up calling the killer a hero.
“… death to the evil police state of Australia who killed this young child … all he is guilty of is being muslim !!” it read.
Meanwhile, the Australia First party letterbox dropped Parramatta with messages saying “Islam has no place in Australia.”
It has sparked calls for calm from people including Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
“We have to work with the Muslim community very collaboratively,” he said.
Muslim community leader Dr Jamal Rifi said Muslims were not a threat.
“We are part of the solution,” he said.
Police have urged the public to resist the efforts of “some among us who will try to use what happened on Friday to divide us”.
Those comments came as Jabar’s family made its first public comment on Facebook.
“RIP little bro,” the message read.
At the murder scene overnight controversial former terror suspect Zaky Mallah added his condemnation.
“ISIS, you have no religion. You have no god,” he said.
He is pushing for volunteer “mosque monitors” to patrol prayer rooms and report suspected extremists.
“Send them out to every single mosque in Australia and start monitoring our places of worship. This needs to be done ASAP,” Mallah said.
Jabar is known to have visited the Parramatta mosque at around 2pm then walked via his school on the way to police headquarters; an 11 minute trip.
As he passed his high school, Jabar reportedly dumped his backpack outside the gates, leaving material inside linked to an Islamic bookstore.
The handgun he hid in his clothing and kept walking towards the police HQ about 300 metres away.
Today that place was the scene of more grief as tributes grow for the fallen police worker.
