Two stabbing attacks in Australia have shone a spotlight on the often-politicised labelling of violence as terrorism vs mental illness. Is there really a difference, or is it racism and fearmongering?

Don’t you find it weird school shootings aren’t considered terror attacks?
amazing message
🇵🇸🇪🇬💪
Israel terrorist occupiers also target women and children…… It’s Zionist ideology.
But the bishop should watch the words before speaking them.
Only a stupid Muslim would take his words as a threat to his religion… so no, let Mari be humbled
Western media has been fully exposed! I hope western audience realize that!
😮😮😮😮😮😮
😮😮😮😮😮
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
16 yo boy not matured and doesn’t have a developed “frontal lobe” according to western standards, but he is a terrorist
One was a Jew and other Muslim. Very strange
Thank you Israel for the coverup
Australia Is Destroying Itself Sooner Or Later This Biased Backfire
Killing in the name of religion is Terrorism. And killing because of mental iolness is not Terrorism.
As someone living in Australia, I had the same question? Thanks Aljazeera. Hope other people in Australia see this.
We have and we are furious at Al Jazeera for completely failing to report that the Bishop stabber shouted Allah Akbar.
surely the T word has no meaning by now!
Totally funny most of the western people
Total hypocrisy
what a brilliant report. well done
Al Jazeera no longer favors the west. This is pure journalism. I love this. The west id always quick to play the blame game. Hahahahha!
And then they say we hate them because they have freedom and women wear tank tops. But for some weird reason, we don’t hate a lot of other non-Western countries who also have freedom and women wear tank tops. 🥲
White/Dark skinned Aussie Muslim violence = terrorism
White Aussie Christian, Jewish, Hindu, aetheist violence = Mental illness.
Standard Western hypocrisy and double standards.
Hecaled allhu albeer before stabbing the other didn’t…..!😂simple as it is
Yeah, those white collonialis always call us/muslim/arabs terrorism but it certainly doesnt apply when it’s come to them.
Everything categorized by the race and religion 😢that’s the reality. Western hypocrisy as usual
Who even takes their media serious other than their own people haha
i love they way that presenter sarcastic smiling 😁
I think before they decide the perpetrator as crazy or terrorist they conduct a medical examination and etc
But that guy literally targeted the bishop and most of the cases like this happened always connected to terror attack
The other one randomly attacked people in a mall maybe he is crazy
They wiped out an entire population and israelized the entire continent; and you expect common sense and civilization from them? huh They’re so low in inferiority complex that they even renamed previously know afghan railway to something else bcz afghan are asians brown and Muslim so much hate filled they are.
typical western hypocrisy, I never ever watch mainstream media, especially Australia, UK and USA.
Nothing new for them! Note they torrorised Aborigins in Australia, took their country and even today they dont recognise them! So they wand to awoing being called terrorists (as they are), they call others…
Wasn’t Sheikh Uthman also stabbed recently by a Christian?
Psycological Warfare
Racist Bigots. Australia has one of the worst racists on the planet.
BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST – BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST – BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST – BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST – BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST – BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST – BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST – BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST – BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST – BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST – BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST – BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST – BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST – BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST – BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST – BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST – BENJAMIN COHEN THE TERRORIST
white supremacist.
Oh my God, the guy really said: christianity and the west is under attack..! omg..!
Pathetic
This how politicians use the mainstream media to bend realities towards their Agenda!
Al Jazeera went woke 😛
If the West did not have double standards, it would not have any😊
Terrorוsm is mental וllness
This is the rule thumb.
It’s no secret that in Australia there is a huge islamophobia, it’s always present.
The media in Australia is especially always waiting for an opportunity to jump on board.
Sadly lots of people in Australia are un-educated and easily manipulated.
Easy answer: when perpetrator comes from a background that isn’t white then it’s terrorism.
I don’t know why everyone is arguing, it’s clear that the mall attacker was representing the Australian Rugby team
The Kangaroos should immediately apologize for this atrocity and explain themselves to the world 😏
meh .. western always hypocrist and racist
The priest is an Islaamophobe and disavowed by the Orthodox Church.
That is Western hypocrisy for you.
Who the h**l is aljarira? Mind your own business and take rohigyas coz they are your muslim brothers
That’s because Black and brown people are judged by the color of their skin and their religion, it does not matter how long you been in a western country or how integrated you are, what matters is your skin color and religion, and even if you are christian while black or brown, you are better but still not good enough.
Really good points made here.
Western imperialism hypocrisy
Benjamin Cohen is typical Israeli name too. What a waste
Pride hath a fall…west is decaying
if that mental illness guy said “allahu akbar” that wouldve changed the story completely
its in their dictionary
if muslim commits crime call it terrorism
if any other commits crime call it anything other than terrorism
If you are not white you are not right it’s true
so typical. my god. this is just straight out of west.
The media and politieks hate moslims. That’s a fact. They even support a genocide in Gaza. It’s the sad truth.
Well done Aljazeera! Share this with the west people so they know how hypocritical their media is that’s controlled by their own governments and why they want them to hate Islam (because ofc it would solve all mankind’s problems, improve society, and weed out corruption). Reminds me of the movie V for Vendetta, hmm maybe I’ll watch that again.
They call them a terrorist in just a glance. This is to make the killing of Arabs all over the world easy and justified?
This article aged like milk. Another five teenagers connected to the church stabber have been found and arrested.
The Bondi stabber is exactly who his father said he is – a frustrated young man with mental health issues.
It’s not about skin colour, Al Jazeera. Do some journalism.
Feel free to delete the comment like always.
“Terrorist”: injured one guy
“Mentally ill” person: kills 6 people
This is what we call “Australian logic”.
Maybe if the mentally ill guy shouted “hallelujah” he could have been classified as a terrorist xD
@@kriggo1some in lebanon do, in case you never knew 😀
😅 whoever causes terror, is a terrorist, what ignorant fools.
Well spotted…!
No wonder white males are being hated nowadays xD
The Australian Prime Minister gave the arabic security guard citizenship and commended his bravery after the Bondi attacks. Clearly the Australian govt looks at character not race. This is misleading Al Jazeera.
Ahh okay, so if the arab guy got citenzenship its okay ?
White is always right. Every other colour is fallible
christianity is middle eastern … you like paul’s version so you went with it ( the easy no rules version)
Immer der Westen schuldig? Ein Moslem hat einen anderen Moslem getötet, beide sind hier weil der Islam in Ihrer Heimat nicht funktioniert, aber der Westen soll Schuld sein? 😀 Eher ist er daran Schuld die Muslime reingelassen zu haben.
Dehumanizing double standars.
“Injured a priest”; “alleged attacker”? That’s a major understatement 😆
Zionsits own the media therefore they are there to ruin the image of Islam in every way.
I believe by calling the youth a terrorist, different laws, other than those that apply to a teenager, can be used.
It’s never terrorism when Islam is involved ! you are an Islamophobic bigot if you say otherwise. Simple.
It’s terrorism when the act is motivated by and/or is part of a larger ideology which is usually propagated by a large organised group some examples would be the Sharia and Caliphate . The purpose of terrorism is to arouse terror in the hearts of those who are opposed to or don’t believe in the ideology/beliefs of the terroriser. In this case(priest stabber), as in many others, insulting the “prophet”. The fact that you used the words ” criticised his religion” instead of the more accurate ” Insulted the prophet” is a testament to your bias ! Stop trying to defend radical islamic terrorism ! So is your point that call everyone a terrorist or don’t call Islamic terrorists- terrorists ?
To all criticizing the west : Yes they have double standards so please don’t go there ! Stay in your respective Islamic republics. Best for everyone.
It’s obvious, it depends on the motive of the perpetrator.
tell lie vision
the last one hit hard to reality
that sigh 😀
No one has a history of mental illness fact. The other was ideologically motivated,
Average Islamaphobic in the west
Aljazeera….yes, the best place for unbiased info….
If a man openly screams allahuakbar and and that he tried to kill the bishop because he offended his prophet, i wouldnt call it terrorism, i would call it a….
‘religion of peace’😊😊
Great story…..The corrupt media and sycophant politicians have no morals in displaying their racism and Islamophobia poorly masquerading as moral superiority, when you delve deep into who owns the media you will understand why this agenda is forced upon the gullible masses who consume their rotten agenda. Even the ABC is now Murdochs playground.
one guy was motivated by idelogy the other guy was not – not hard to decipher this one
You know westerners have gone crazy when a snapshot of a Family guy episode is used by Aljazeera to make sense of it all.
I live in the west, and I can guarantee you western media is complete trash, 100% propaganda machine, I had no choice but to throw away my television and ignore eny mass media.
Same here in France … Double standards always in the mainstream media…
It is deeply concerning to witness the attempts to downplay the church incident as anything other than a clear-cut terrorist attack. Spreading misinformation like this cannot be ignored, especially when it comes to defending acts of violence rooted in Islamic teachings. It is utterly ridiculous to shy away from acknowledging the ideology of hate and violence perpetuated within Islam. While it may be true that Al Jazeera is funded by Muslim sources, it is essential to question their potential bias in reporting and their reluctance to shed light on the dark side of Islam. We must not allow political correctness to overshadow the truth and the need to address the root causes of such acts.
Those who commit crimes should face appropriate trials – no argument!
The issue lies in how we treat the perpetrator, whether he/she is a terrorist or mentally ill. Western media take no time to label individuals with Muslim names as terrorists without due consideration, yet when the perpetrator isn’t Muslim (which has occurred several times even in the past year), they are simply labeled as mentally ill or something similar. This is basically a Media Terrorism – if we would understand that!
and with all this hypocrisy and islamophobia it’s still spreading faster and stronger than ever amongst them 🤣
Truly the almighty praise be his name guide whomever he wills and misleads whomever he wills
When it suits their agenda
They really wanted him to be a Muslim, they really really were hoping.
well both had mentall illnes i guess
This video is pointeless and an example of how selective journalism works. Pathetic
if the attack was by a muslim or an arab it is terrorism, but if it was by a white person it is a mental illness … the stupid hypocrisy of the world !
well said. what a racist of western world media. r they also think they r chosem one like the problematic creatures on earth?
He was jewish , he reverted to Judaism before he went on a murder spree 💯💯
Bondi bloke did not cause terror 😂😂😂 who died trying to save others it was a Muslim security gaurd , your evil or bad you are evil bad regardless of your religion or your motivation ☝️🥷😇😁👊💯
Islam extremists and even moderates don’t belong in western society not in many eastern societies. The only people that hang and burn people publicly are…??
Australian hypocrisy 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
