Muslims Consider Holocaust, 9/11 & Bali Bombings As ‘Acts of God,’ Sydney Gunman’s Wife Claims [Video]

Amirah Droudis, the wife of the gunman responsible for the Sydney siege, called herself a terrorist in a video. The 35-year-old woman expressed happiness in the video for incidents like the Holocaust, the 9/11 and the 2001 Bali terror attacks.

Droudis made her public appearance on Tuesday only hours after husband Man Haron Monis had been shot dead by Australian police at the Lindt café. Droudis reported to Campsie Police Station. She is out on bail for the alleged killing of Noleen Hayson Pal, Monis' ex-wife. Reporting to the police station is a part of the conditions Droudis must abide by for her bail. Droudis and Monis were charged in April 2013 after Pal had been set on fire after having been stabbed multiple times.

The video in question was posted on YouTube four years before the murder. Droudis allegedly posted a number of videos where she said that terror acts were God's will. The videos contain the web address of the one run by Monis. Droudis, covered in hijab, calls herself a "terrorist" in one of the videos and regrets for being so. "I admit and formally confess that for many years I have been a terrorist, but I'll try not to be anymore," Daily Mail quoted the woman whose face was hidden under the scarf. In a series of hate videos, Droudis blames rape victims for "encouraging" offenders to commit the offence. Droudis said that the Holocaust, the 9/11 and the Bali bombings were "acts of God."

Police are now investigating if Droudis was involved in the Sydney siege. Officers raided Monis' south-west Sydney house where Droudis lived as well. She was reportedly questioned for several hours. Droudis, believed to be the hidden face in the hate videos, was described as a Greek-Australian who had converted to Islam. However, The Telegraph reported that the origin of the woman was unconfirmed. Droudis, just like her alleged partner-in-crime Monis, was well-known to police for her elaborate history of criminal offences. Droudis, along with Monis, was accused of writing a number of letters to the families of Australian soldiers who had been killed in Afghanistan from 2007 to 2009. Droudis reportedly attended the funeral of Sergeant Brent Till and gave offensive letters to his wife.

Droudis, in one of the videos, called terrorism a sin according to Islam.
