(AAP) A Brisbane father of three who allegedly called for a Muslim jihad in Syria to “cleanse the lands of tyrants and their collaborators” will remain behind bars.
Omar Saghir, 39, has been charged with the preparation of foreign incursions as part of a group involved in travelling to Syria to engage in hostile activity.
Saghir appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court by video link on Thursday when his application for bail to live with his widowed mother in Alexandra Hills was denied.
Saghir was arrested on July 16 as he returned to Australia from Saudi Arabia where he had been living since 2019.
He is alleged to have played a senior role in a Brisbane-based organisation that was religiously motivated and actively promoted a violent extremist ideology.
