Radical Islam : Australian preacher linked to notorious Sydney cleric urges followers to take up arms

An Australian preacher with reported ties to notorious Sydney cleric Wissam Haddad has publicly urged followers to take up arms. The preacher is linked to Haddad, who was previously associated with Bondi gunman Naveen Akram. This development follows a period of heightened scrutiny regarding extremist activity in Australia.

The emergence of this rhetoric occurs ten months after a major terror attack in the country. The connection to figures involved in past violent incidents has prompted renewed focus on the influence of extremist networks within Australia.
