Australia: "Muslim" Manhunt By Disabled Driver
A bizarre tale is related by Australia's Advertiser, concerning a man who appeared to have a pathological hatred against Muslims, and went on a "hunt for Muslims" in the hinterland of the Gold Coast in Queensland, eastern Australia.
41-year old Robert Stephens appeared in Southport Magistrates Court on Thursday, charged with going armed to cause fear, common assault, dangerous operation of a vehicle, wilful damage of a car and stealing a number plate.
The court was told that Stephens, who is on a disablility pension and lives in Murwillumbah, northern New South Wales, had been in the car-park of tourist site the Natural Bridge in the Numinbah Valley on Wednesday.
Senior Constable Eyschen said that Stephens had approached two sight-seers and said "You're not fucking Muslims. I'm going to kill some fucking Muslims."
After this incident, Stephens was approached by three British tourists who pulled into the car park and asked for directions. The three, Jason Dholakia, his brother Hiten and their companion Amit Rana appear to be of Indian/Hindu background. Stephens assumed they were Lebanese, and yelled "fucking hell!" several times, making threatening gestures toward the trio.
The three Britons did not wait to engage Stephens in further conversation, and drove off. Stephens chased after them in his vehicle, and along a mountainous road, tried to run their car off the road on several occasions.
The three tourists fled their car and hid in the rainforest, while Stephens attacked their vehicle with his bare hands, tearing off the rear number plate and ripping out wiring. He also stabbed its tyres and slashed the hood.
Stephens was refused bail by Magistrate Alec Chilcott, and is remanded in custody, to reappear at the court on February 21.
This is only supposition, but if Robert Stephens is registered disabled, either he is faking a disability or his "disability" has psychological dimensions.
