A Jewish gym owner in Melbourne has been met with vile death threats following his online criticism of the Islamic community.
Avi Yemini, a former sniper for the Israeli Defence Forces, shared a video to Facebook on Saturday morning slamming attacks performed by Islamic militants in the Phillipines and Egypt, and claiming Ramadan is ‘the month of Jihad’.
On Sunday afternoon, he was sent a Facebook message by a Parramatta man who claimed he would ‘make sure you drown in your own blood your [sic] Jewish scum’.
‘Do you think your [sic] a mad c***. Talking about Islam like that,’ the message began.
‘Let’s meet up and have a chat about Islam. U [sic] think your [sic] some tuff [sic] guy aye well [we] will see how tough you are.
‘I promise u [sic] I’m gana [sic] see you round and when I do I’m gana [sic] make sure you drown in your own blood your [sic] Jewish scum’.
Mr Yemini says the message has proved a point he has long been trying to make about some Islamic people.
‘He’s clearly not too happy, but he’s kind of proved my point,’ he told Daily Mail Australia.
‘You can scream and shout that you’re part of a religion of peace, but in the same sentence you threaten you’re going to murder someone.
‘For any religious man to sit behind a computer and think it’s okay to talk about murdering someone else, it’s mind boggling.’
