Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Canada: Muslim accused of conspiring to kill Americans and supporting jihad group

May 1, 2014 2:29 pm By Robert Spencer

behead-those-who-insult-islamThere are two choices: either this endless parade of Muslims conspiring to murder Americans represents a jihad of massive proportions, or the American government is so evil and Islamophobic that it continues to frame innocent Muslims on trumped-up charges to justify the massive expenditures of the “war on terror.” Judging from Barack Obama’s behavior, the former seems much more likely.

“Edmonton man facing terrorism charges in court to fight extradition,”The Canadian Press May 1, 2014:

A lawyer for Sayfildin Tahir Sharif (SAY’-fill-din TA’-here SHAW’-reef) is appearing before the Appeal Court in Edmonton today.

A lower court ruled in 2012 that there was enough evidence to extradite the Sharif [sic] to New York.

Last summer, the federal justice minister order his extradition.

Sharif is appealing both decisions.

He is accused of conspiracy to kill Americans and of supporting a terror group that took part in a suicide bombing in his native Iraq in 2009.

Five U.S. soldiers were killed when a truck filled with explosives was detonated at a military checkpoint.

Sharif, who also goes by the name Faruq Khalil Muhammad Isa, is an ethnic Kurd who was born in Iraq but moved to Toronto as a refugee in 1993. Four years later, he became a Canadian citizen.

In 2011, he was arrested at an Edmonton apartment, where he lived with his girlfriend and her children.

A Crown prosecutor had argued that intercepted phone and Internet conversations showed Sharif helped jihadists contact members of a terrorist network as they made their way from Tunisia to Iraq to make the attacks.

Sharif’s lawyer, Bob Aloneissi, earlier told court that there is no clear evidence that proves Sharif helped a terrorist group or that he agreed to kill anyone. He argued the Crown’s case was based on police interpretations of vague statements by Sharif that were translated from Arabic.

Sharif said the allegations against him came from people who were tortured by American investigators. Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Adam Germain ruled Sharif’s claims were heresay.

The judge called the recorded calls and emails “chilling.”

Court heard about one email between Sharif and another terror suspect who was “preparing for a one-way journey to death.” The pair discussed the number of virgins the man would get in heaven.

    It’s not so much the question “Was Muhammad a prophet?” It’s better stated “Was Muhammad a prophet sent by God or was Muhammad a false prophet sent by Satan to lead many people astray?” After all Jesus did warn “Beware of false prophet which comes to you in sheep’s clothing but are inwardly ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15. The Bible further warns that “many false prophets are gone forth into the world.” First John 4:1. To give the acid test if a prophet, teacher, or religion is teaching truth of falsehoods is if the prophet, teacher or religion has teaching and doctrines that are in according to God’s Word, the Bible. That if a person or religion has teachings and doctrines that are in contradiction to God’s Word then that prophet, teacher or religion is false. As Isaiah 8:20; explains “To the law of the testimony : If they speak not according to the word , it is because there is no light in them.” [KJV] Islam denies that Jesus is the Son of God. This is in contrast to the Bible which teaches that Jesus is indeed the Son of God, John 3:16, 17, and 36. First John 2:22, 23. Likewise. Islam denies that Jesus is God the Son. In contrast to Islam the Bible teaches that Jesus is God the Son. As seen in Hebrews 1:6-8 with emphasis on verse 8. Furthermore, Islam denies that Jesus is God. This is in strong contradiction to the Bible which teaches that Jesus is God. As shown, for example, in John 1:1-3. Romans 9:5. Colossians 1:15-17. First John 5:20. Second Peter 1; 1. Titus 2:13. Moreover, by comparing the Old Testament with the New Testament will further show that Jesus is God, As in by comparing Isaiah 45:22,23. With Philippians 2:5-11. Will show Jesus is God. Also by comparing Psalm 89:8,9. With Matthew 8:23-27 will further confirm Jesus to be God. Even by comparing the New Testament book together will confirm Jesus to be God. As in John 5:22 with Romans 14:12 will show Jesus to be God. The list can go on but this should be enough. The imams and mullahs will try to “explain” this all away by claiming that Christians had corrupted the Bible through time. This claim greatly underestimates the power of God to preserve His Word in time and keep it intact and away from the corruption of men. In conclusion, Muhammad was a false prophet and Islam is a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6.
