Not only with khat, but with many other illegal drugs, chances are high that when someone in the West buys and uses such drugs they are funding Islamic terrorism. It make the narcissistic use of illegal drugs all the more revolting, suicidal and, yes, really stupid.

This has been going on for a while. Can't for the life of me understand why Canada keeps importing this chaff (not talking about the drug).

Its the same here in the states, let people of low self esteme or morals into this country and it just compounds the problems, we have to control imigration to get a handle on the problems, notice i didn't say stop imigration.

Hirsi Ali spelled it Qat I think. Is it the same thing? If so, pretty disgusting habit.

"Little Mogadishu" in Etobicoke? Wow. I wonder what part of Etobicoke that is in?

I lived in Etobicoke for a few years. How times have changed.

Is khat the same as kief ?

Kief was a junk ascerbic weak marijuana of North Africa, sold in the casbah of Tangiers,

(and at a club, called 'Dancing Boy'- guess that makes it an openly homosexual club, tho it didn't appear so at the time)

late 60's.

If it's the same vile stuff, ya gotta feel sorry for these dudes.

Is there a "Dancing Boy" club for these 'manly' jihadis in Toronto?

Posted by: dgene at December 18, 2007 8:57 PM

I hope the cops in the Caliphate of Minnesota take note of that. Plenty Somalis down here with their khat as well.

Posted by: ISLAMSFORLOSERS at December 18, 2007 9:28 PM

I'l try to find some interesting articles about the Somali's because there is a core group among them that are Demanding Sharia-Law within Canada and have a disdain for the Police and actually set-up the Cops for a Lawsuit by calling in a bogus crime and then used a video camera to imply Police Brutality when one Somali hurled insults and spit at the Police.

There was a mysterous tourisism witness that claimed to have caught the event on their camera and didn't know what it was until they saw the lawsuit item on the news.
But later on we found out from Court records that the "Tourist" was a relative of one Somali who was in on the scam , we also discovered that the victims Lawyer had sat on the video evidence for about 3 weeks to allow the Police to give their side of the event and then the lawyer leaked out the video the portray the Cops as liars.

This was an outright 'Insurance fraud' and an Contemp Of Court by with holding evidence from a Judge just to sway the outcome in favour of the Plaintiffs lawsuit , not one person was charged in this Insurance sacm and to compound the damage we saw many Somalis from canada freely return home to wage Jihad for Allah and I have no doubt
some of the Winfall in the Fraud case went to fund the Muslim slaughters back home .

BTW

Since a massive number of Muslim "Refugees" with no documents were lading at our Airport in Toronto they were given all the Welfare hand-outs
and quickly took over several of the Apartment units near the Airport , even after all the hand-outs to crank out babies for a bigger welfare cheque they manage to find many things to bitch about .
One major problem stemming from their arrogance was how they demanded the Apartment owners BAN dogs because it offended them and forced many Muslim females to have to shower if they were touched by a dog ( as if having a shower was a bad thing) , this went on as a "Islamophobia" rant but the non-Muslims that lived there long before the Blessed-ones arrived to get Welfare-4-Allah and they started naming any new puppy or adopted dog as "Moe-Ham-Mid" as appearing on the Tags but sounded like Muhammad when spoken.

They bitched about the crime in that area and yet then bitched over the Police cars that they claimed were Profiling Muslims by driving around that area, they bitched about the drug-dealers in the area until the Police actually tried to end it and then when an arrest was happening they formed a Mob and attacked the Police because the Drug dealer was a Somali and provided the Chat for them.
They bitched about females fearing the night when coming home so the Police and City agreed to install cameras to chatch the hoodlums or gangs the Somalis harped about and THEN they bitched that Sharia-Law forebids females to be video taped , plus the females feared being caught without their Hijab on and be punished.

The problem is Sharia and Muslims, it IS NOT canada or canadians .

I was reading a bulletin board posting in a grocery store here in toronto recently,it read something like,'meeting to be held at Pakistani community centre, learn how to get up to $7ooo dollars per child in goverment grants.'That's right $7000 per child.I know that this is off topic, but I thought some of you might find this intresting.Was thinking of attending but thought better of it as I'm unable to hold my tounge.

"I was reading a bulletin board posting in a grocery store here in toronto recently,it read something like,'meeting to be held at Pakistani community centre, learn how to get up to $7ooo dollars per child in goverment grants."
-- from a posting above

The next time you see such a posting, pull it down and pocket it. Make copies. Show it around. Look into the matter. And if possible, attend or have others attend such a meeting, to take notes on "how to get up to $7000 dollars per child in government grants." Your presence, or that of others who attend, will make the Pakistanis (whether or not they happen to possess Canadian citizenship) distinctly uneasy, and will chill the gathering. And your finding out about this kind of thing, and disseminating information about it -- the attempt to soak the Infidel taxpayers for everything that can be obtained, by hook and by crook, is worth investigating, following, and in any way one can, constraining or halting altogether such scheming, and then, possibly, to make sure that the laws that make this possible are looked into, and repealed. Canadians need not allow those in brief authority to continue with the complacent, and complaisant, mixture as before.

Re: Canadian authorities seize $7 million worth of drug linked to jihad financing

My dear and very sweet brother Raymond died as a result of these kind of people. (My immediate ancestors came to America from ireland (and onde England) for for freedom from these "religious" pigs.) May God Give me the opportunity for revenging on a scale unimaginable to these pigs. Perhaps one day they will curse the day they killed my brother. I would bring nuclear holocaust to them if I get the chance. Please God, let me be an instrument of revenge on them. God hears my prayer. He favors me because of my ingrained honesty and sense of honor. They must be destroyed as Nazis must be destroyed.

For them what cares:

Khat: From Wikipedia

Khat itself sounds, well, faintly toxic and gross, but then, so many of humanity's favorite habits are faintly toxic and gross. Can't say that I'm horrified or impressed.

But I am put in mind of what a cop once said to PJ O'Rourk when passing a strutting, arrogant, junk pushing hood on the street, "Junk schmunk, air ought to be illegal if those people breath it!".

Hard not to feel that way about this.

But when all is said and done, the best defense is a good offense.

And that's where we're failing in all this.

Damn the jihaddis in public. Condemn, expose, shame and ridicule them at every opportunity. Bomb the hell out of them overseas, and kill them on sight.

That's the only responsible and sensible answer.

Who cares about khat!

We go after drugs like the "war on terror", without a understanding of the enemy.

7 Million is a drop in very small bucket. The U.S. stops around 20% of the Cocaine that flows into the U.S. To stop it all, would require a military style effort, and budget as well.

I hear the police burn the pot it gets in raids, and all stand downwind during the burn. A lot comes in from the southern border, and the U.S. House has just cut back the Border fence build, and funding.

Way too much money involved with drugs, and that is more important than really doing what should be done.

Spirits were outlawed once, and the outlaws got rich.

Posted by: Islofob IS-1 at December 19, 2007 4:20 AM

Drugs and oil, the gifts of Allah...

Oil being the more profitable trade I guess. I suppose that they make some nice cash on drugs but Saudi Arabia, which is a totalitarian nest of wahhabists and salafist under supervision of a religious police (check The Religious Policeman blog, http://muttawa.blogspot.com/ ) is rich because of the oil. And they use the money to support wahhabist "missionaries" all over the Europe.

BTW thanks for the interesting info on the Somalis in Canada. Seems to be the same pattern as in Paris suburbs, which is also - according to the articles on that subject - some kind of a "bridgehead" area, where organised gangs are aiming at the police and try to repel them, and establish some kind of a sharia zone. I remember that one of the underage gansters said "what the hell was the police doing here" after that "incident" with two immigrants who killed themselves after crashing into a police car.
And more reports describe the "rioters" more like a well organised guerilla. So unless we support our police the islamists are the winners - the police can't fight them with politically correct multiculturalists ready to go after their throats in law suits when they dare to fight back. Christ, if a gangster blasts a shotgun at a policeman, he deserves to be shot back immediatelly. It's nothing but a legal defense.

Islofob, drugs are not my vice - I doubt it's a sin, because I couldn't find a pleasure in it :) - but right you are, if you outlaw it, the outlaws will make money on it. If the junkies can buy their daily dose for an "open market" price with no legal persecution, they won't have to get criminal to get enough money, and the mafias would lose a significant source of profit. And money is what keeps mafias strong and powerfull.

I don't take the argument that many people would ruin themselves if they could take drugs legally. People everywhere can buy enough booze to turn themselves in a worthless piece of a crap unable to produce anything of value, yet only few really do. So what. Give them what they want, but make them to care for themselves.

OT I saw this article in the National Post where the main story on Khat was located.

Muslims find a way to shut down criticism thru the Canadian Human Rights Commission- for free- no lawyers needed- and effective. File a complaint and let the government take over your case!
Very interesting- should apply to the Mark Steyn/Maclean's lawsuit .

One more possible Terror funding source.
ABC News did a story last night on who really owns your mortgage?
Seems that people who are trying to renegotiate their loans are discovering their mortgages have been sold and resold. It starts to get hazy really quick as to who actually has the loan.
The lady in the story discovered that her paper was owned by an investment firm called 'sale 2005-11'??
For all we know we are financing terror with our loan payments.

I see a headline that says that Khat (usually spelled Qat) is "linked to Jihad financing." Then I read the story that uses words like "may be" and "possibly." All along the lines of coulda, woulda and shoulda. Then we have this sentence near the bottom of the story: "The RCMP has found 'no distinct links' between the import and trafficking of khat in Canada and terrorist groups, the report said."

Hey! What's up with that? And just remember this, folks: Every time you put gas in your car you are funding terrorism.

Posted by: 13 Martyrs at December 19, 2007 9:02 AM

A propos of qat/ khat: it's grown extensively in Yemen.

I quote, from my source ('Operation World'): "Yemen was once famous for frankincense and myrrh, but now the growing of the narcotic qat has become the mainstay for rural Yemen. OVER EIGHTY PERCENT of the adult population chew it, AND MUCH OF THE AGRICULTURAL LAND AND IRRIGATION WATER is committed to its cultivation. Nearly 40 % of the national economy is involved in qat. The negative effects on production, social and family life are immense."

And it is further observed that, "corruption in high places prevents development programs from being effective. Less than half the population have access to any health services and nearly half of all children suffer from malnutrition". So: kids in Yemen go hungry because the land that should be growing real food is growing...qat, and it doesn't even look as though the ground-level grower gets enough profit back to buy in food from elsewhere seeing as he isn't growing his own.

Ah, the wonders of the Muslim world. Hungry kids living in a daze because their brains are malnourished because their parents are spaced out on qat and the local Lords of Misrule are cornering all the resources for personal conspicuous consumption.

And the Muslims sneer at us kafirs and accuse us of being corrupt and decadent because we have a few drug users and alcoholics!

"People everywhere can buy enough booze to turn themselves in a worthless piece of a crap unable to produce anything of value, yet only few really do. So what."

kugelfest;

In a free country, it is allowed. As long as freedom is here, people can drink, become a drunk, its freedom of choice.

Drugs have been fought hear, and around the world, for centuries, but never has there been victory.

Do laws stop drug use, the ability to find and use them?

You or I may not want them, but in a free country we have better uses for the time, money, and effort that is "wasted".
