In October 2015 he called for the extremists behind the Parramatta shooting to " stop messing with Australia . " After the November 2015 Paris attacks , in a Press Release by the Australian National Imams Council , Mohamed made some controversial remarks that : " These recent incidents highlight the fact that current strategies to deal with the threat of terrorism are not working . It is therefore imperative that all causative factors such as racism , Islamophobia , curtailing freedoms through securitisation , duplicitous foreign policies and military intervention must be comprehensively addressed " . He was later criticized for not directly condemning the Paris attacks . This led to a further statement : " We wish to emphasise it is incorrect to imply that the reference to causative factors provides justification for these acts of terrorism . " and " Dr. Ibrahim Abu Mohamed have consistently and unequivocally condemned all forms of terrorist violence . " In December 2015 Mohamed , along with other high-profile imams , issued a new year 's message supporting a fatwa condemning Islamic State . In the message they stated that " most Islamic Legal Circles and Fatwa Boards have condemned ISIS " , and warned young people to avoid the organisation 's propaganda
