We will be seeing much, much more of this in the West.

Nothing was more predictable than the fact that this was going to happen. The only questions were when exactly it would happen, where it would happen, and how many people would be murdered. The answers, this time, were Australia’s Bondi Beach, Sunday afternoon local time, during a Hanukkah celebration, and at least 15, with 40 injured as of this writing.
One of the mass murderers is named Naveed Akram. He is from Pakistan. The other is Khaled al-Nabulsi, who hails from Lebanon and pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS). Police said that they were “aware” of one of these grateful asylum seekers before he made the decision to murder Jews in large numbers in order to gain the favor of Allah. They did not, obviously, do anything to stop him.
After the attack, the usual things happened. Brisbane Muslims issued a call to its people: “Asalam Alaykum brothers, In-light [sic] of the recent events in Bondi, it’s vital we stand together. If you experience or witness Islamophobia, please contact the Islamophobia hotline for support and to report incidents. Your voice matters—let’s protect our community.”
No horror. No regret. No shame. No apology. No acknowledgement of Islam’s teachings of violence and Jew-hatred. No assurance of reform. Just victimhood posturing. Again. As always.
Meanwhile, a member of the British parliament, Adnan Hussain, warned that “the horrific terror attack at Bondi Beach should not be exploited to vilify a faith or its followers. The only Islam on display was embodied by Ahmed, whose courage, selflessness, and humanity led him to risk his own life to save the lives of many others.” Hussain was referring to Ahmed al-Ahmed, a fruit seller who tackled one of the jihadis and thus prevented the casualty count from being even higher.
Ahmed al-Ahmed’s action was commendable, but was it really more Islamic than that of Naveed Akram and Khaled al-Nabulsi? Hussain did not bother to explain why Ahmed more properly embodied the spirit of the text that exhorts its adherents to “kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 4:91, cf. 9:5) and says that the Jews are the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82) than the killers did.
Nor did Hussain bother to explain how Muslims and non-Muslims could coexist as equals in a society such as Australia when the Qur’an and Sunnah provide no foundation for such coexistence, and instead teach that Muslims must violently subjugate the “people of the book,” that is, primarily Jews and Christians, and enforce their subservience and second-class status.
Hussain had no need to delve into such matters, for Australian authorities, just like their counterparts in Europe and North America, have decided that Islam is entirely peaceful, tolerant, and benign, and that those who point out that it is political, supremacist, aggressive, violent and expansionist are simply racist, bigoted “Islamophobes” who can be safely ignored.
