Pictured is “the storefront Islamic centre in Calgary where Abu Dujana al-Muhajir said he started a prayer group.” With whom did he pray? To whom did he speak? What did the other people there think of his promotion of the jihad in Syria? Does anyone know? Does anyone care? Note also his dismissal of Canada’s professional “moderate Muslims” (both of whom are just as viciously arrogant and intellectually vacuous as their Islamic supremacist brethren), Tarek Fatah and Mubin Shaikh (who embarrassed himself in debate with me here). Islamic reformers, sincere or self-serving, are always challenged by hardliners on Islamic grounds. And none have ever formulated a coherent or cogent response to the jihadists’s exegesis of the Qur’an.
“Jihad becoming ‘as Canadian as maple syrup’ says Calgary man who joined armed extremists in Syria,” by Stewart Bell, National Post, May 7, 2014 (thanks to Kenneth):
A Canadian foreign fighter in Syria taunted the “evil, despotic and Zionist Harper government” on Wednesday, claiming it was losing the battle against extremism and that fighting jihad was becoming “as Canadian as maple syrup.”
In a blog post, Abu Dujana al-Muhajir, part of a small circle of Calgary youths who left for Syria to join armed extremist groups, said “so-called radical Islamists” were gaining in popularity and the number of Canadian jihadists was growing.
He denounced leading Canadian Muslims opposed to extremist violence, naming writer Irshad Manji and imams Muhammad Robert Heft and Syed Soharwardy, calling them “deviant” and saying they were outnumbered by militants.
“Know very well that for every single sellouts [sic] like Tarek Fatah or Mubin Shaikh, we are gaining hundreds of brave Damian Clairmont and Andre Poulin from amongst you who are willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of Allah,” he wrote.
Andre Poulin, a Canadian Muslim convert fighting in Syria who called himself Abu Muslim in a television documentary aired on Britain’s Channel 4, said in June that his parents “don’t understand entirely why I’m here.”
Mr. Clairmont, who lived on social assistance in Calgary, and Mr. Poulin, who had brushes with the law in Timmins, Ont., were troubled youths who converted to Islam, became radicalized and died soon after arriving in Syria.
Quoting pro-Al-Qaeda ideologue Anwar Al Awlaki saying that jihad was becoming as American as apple pie and as British as afternoon tea, Abu Dujana wrote it was “high time that we add to his statement ‘and as Canadian as maple syrup.’”…
The National Post revealed last month that the RCMP and Canadian Security Intelligence Service were investigating a small group of Calgary men believed to be fighting in Syria. CSIS says about 30 Canadians have joined extremist groups in Syria.
Mr Squat says
Why were these people brought to Canada?!
Meanwhile, in the UK, there is outrage -and an investigation- because “Pictures appear to show RAF man posing with dead Taliban fighter”

The soldiers will certainly be severely punished for their horrible crime.
mortimer says
Many of the modern jihadists will be tried for crimes against humanity unless they are horribly killed themselves while fighting other jihadists.
Sovereign Man says
They come here on student visas and never leave. Every deportation order is ignored, and former government employees open consultation businesses to help them manipulate and get around immigration rules. That entire section of downtown Calgary is filled with these “students.” They live in the highrise apartments, 5 or 10 per suite.

why were these people brought to west in general is the question. m
mortimer says
Canada has been importing 100,000 misogynists and supremacists every year, people who hate Canada’s equality and freedom and wish to destroy it.
They are importing those who would destroy Canada’s freedom and in time impose discrimination and second-class status for the original Canadians.
mariam rove says
The problem here in Canada’s as well as US is the immigration laws . I can tell you this as an immigrant myself. Once a foreigner come here or to Canada, and once they become a citizen of these countries no matter where they are from, say European or middle eastern, they are allowed to petition the government to bring their mom/dad/sisters or brothers here. While this can take some times they will come and it is a relentless cycle if you follow me. M

church people, in Canada and other places, please note he was grading even fellow adherents on the basis of the violence they would or would not do … which is not the EQUIVALENT, say to David, praying:
“Do not sweep my soul away with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men, in whose hands are evil devices, and whose right hands are full of bribes….” (Psalm 26: 9-10, ESV)
Muhammad (lately contrived; full of lusts) did not get from the supposed angel the righteous message of King David. what he understood as coming from the Allah god of Islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers) was something that should not be tolerated.
hammy says
I know exactly where this little mosque is. I live 2 blocks from it and there’s always men in full Muslim garb and beard in front of it. I always found them very ‘ fundamentalists’ looking. They look at you weird.
dumbledoresarmy says
Hammy
Keep an eye on them. Watch them. *Don’t* assume that the RCMP and the local cops understand just how dangerous a mosque is.
(Have you read ex-Muslim Sam Solomon’s little book “The Mosque and its Role in Society”? If you haven’t scratch about online and see if you can buy a copy. He published it originally under a pseudonym taken from the Book of Daniel. I don’t have it in front of me at the moment, but I think it’s “Shadrach and Abednego”).
What this little mosque is, is an Allah Gang or Mohammedan Mob military advance base. A *fort*. It’s far more dangerous than – but somewhat similar to – a mafia hideout or a crack house.
Anyway – *watch* it, discreetly, constantly. Try to get a sense of what is the “normal” pattern of activity of the regular clientele…so that you can spot a sudden and mysterious escalation – or reduction – in activity. If you can, without being seen doing it, get photographs of car number plates and of any person among the clientele or management that particularly sets your hair standing on end. And if you see anything, anything that Doesn’t Look Right…have a quiet word with the RCMP.
Salah says
the “evil, despotic and Zionist Harper government”???
He would surely love to see Canada ruled by a stupid, dhimmi, useful idiot Justin Trudeau government!
gravenimage says
Actually, Salah, he’d like to see Canada ruled by oppressive Mohammedans, and Canadians reduced to cowering dhimmis.
But I agree—as an interim, he’d be glad to see some appeasing tool.
Though Harper himself, I’m afraid, is far from perfect—Muslims like this violent Jihadist are still flooding into Canada.
Guy Macher says
Being in Canada does not mean one is Canadian. If Mohameddans survive the next 50 years in Canada, they will still not be Canadian.

It is sad and equally despicable that vulnerable young men are being converted to this heinous farce of a religion; then are brain – washed and sent off to die for a false prophet and a fake god.
It is even more disturbing and disgusting that they seem to have been converted by their supposed ‘friends’ and left to die on a foreign battlefield. The young men being converted are responsible for their own actions; but the Islamic recruiters seem very adept at picking out vulnerable youths. They then fill their heads with power fantasies and appeal to their sexual frustrations to coerce them into performing such criminally stupid and dangerous acts.
I have witnessed Imam’s home in on the vulnerable, the poor and the disenfranchised that are part of every city and town. They always avoid me; they seem to know they cannot convert a man confident in his own beliefs. They should be banned from recruiting outside of their Mosques – much like Jehovah’s Witnesses should be banned from door knocking.
Jihad will never be a natural component of Western Civilization – the harder these idiots push us; the faster we will awaken to the horrifying truth of their evil religion. I used to be one of those PCMC Leftist idiots, confused by everyone’s rejection of the seemingly harmless Muslims among us. That was until I began to see the threat that is leeching away at the core of our societies. Hopefully, every single other idiot will wake up – sooner rather than later.

…………………………….
They aren’t really comparable, Jax.
I’ll be honest—I’ve gotten a bit irked when the Jehovah’s Witnesses are ringing my doorbell or pressing copies of Watchtower on me at the bus stop—but so what?
I have never once felt threatened by any Jehovah’s Witness. I know, in fact, that they mean well.
Jehovah’s Witnesses—and other proselytizers like the Mormons—don’t present a threat to us.
Would that I could say the same thing for Islam…
Jax Tolmen says
Hello Graven, I realized almost immediately after I wrote it that it was a poor analogy good especially on this site. Hopefully I did not offend anyone.
I do have a personal issue with them, merely because they scared my autistic brother half to death by telling him the world was ending. But you are right, they are not nearly as bad as the evil preachers of Islam.
And no sect of Christianity, apart from the dangerous off shoots (cults) has ever scared me. Islam is what keeps me awake every night, fearing for the future my son will grow up in.
gravenimage says
Hi, Jax—thanks for replying. Sorry to hear about your brother.
But yes—Islam is the main threat.
Hoper you’re doing well.
dumbledoresarmy says
Jax – you wrote – “I used to be one of those PCMC Leftist idiots, confused by everyone’s rejection of the seemingly harmless Muslims among us. That was until I began to see the threat that is leeching away at the core of our societies.”
So – what or who was it that woke you up? When and how was it that you “began to see the threat”?? When – and how – did you find jihadwatch?
Do please tell!
I’m always interested in knowing what it is that brings people here, and what it is that triggers “Awful Realization”.
Because perhaps if we – and particularly Mr Spencer – can get a better idea of the “typical” path or paths, the waking up process might be accelerated.

Canada Muslim killed waging jihad in Syria says jihad “as Canadian as maple syrup”
………………………….
F*ck that. There is nothing more alien to Canada and the rest of the West than the concept of violent Jihad. *Ugh*.
This Mohammedan was not “Canadian”—he was just an alien who was using civilized Canada as a base of operations before decamping back to Dar-al-Islam to “lill and be killed”.
jewdog says
Yes, Jihad is like maple syrup: Just tap the tree and the saps start running to Syria.

ROFLMAO.

Whenever and wherever we see Sharia implemented, it looks essentially the same. never believe Muslims when they try to tell you that you have nothing to worry about because Sharia is only for Muslims.. that’s a lie Sharia has provisions on how to deal with you….
wileyvet says
These Muslims will never be Canadian. Or American or British etc. Their allegiance is to the Umma. Islam and Sharia does not recognize man made law as legitimate. Their devotion is to Muhammad and his sadistic Allah. Islam is hostile to everything we supposedly hold dear. The ideology that has created the mess Muslim countries is brought here as baggage from a stultified and ignorant culture. And what fuels that culture is a little book of evil called the Koran. Muslims need to go back to where they came from because not one can be trusted due to the lying nature of their so called religion. If they are not stopped here in Canada then our way of life will be destroyed. That is what they want. They come from craphole countries, so they do not care that they are pulling our standard of living down. They will not care that Canada becomes a third world nation. They have lived in that garbage for 1400 years so it is what they are used to. There is not one single thing about Islam that is a benefit to Canada or any other country. They need to get out and stew in the Islamic juice of their making. Just stay the hell out of our country.
Wellington says
All of which tends to prove that allowing immigration without proper knowledge of the beliefs of those who are immigrating is not a wise thing to do. Now, sometimes figuring out what a person believes is a deuce difficult thing to do, but with Muslims it’s as easy as shooting fish in a barrel——either the Muslim really knows his religion, in which case he shouldn’t be allowed to immigrate, or the Muslim, in full Irshad Manji fashion, really does think that Islam is tolerant, noble and pretty much all around peachy king, in which case he shouldn’t be allowed to immigrate.
Ah, problem solved respecting any Muslim immigration, but it’s entirely conditional on Islam being properly understood. Again can be seen how essential, how indispensable, knowledge is. After all, isn’t it the case that the principal reason why the West right now is so beset by Muslims behaving badly (as they are so wont to do) is due to a decided dearth of an accurate understanding of Islam?
N.B. Of course, this still wouldn’t take care of those citizens of a Western nation, like Canada, who are completely deprived of common sense and who actually convert to Islam, but if only “native” converts to the spiritual rot which is Mo’s creed were the problem, the problem simply wouldn’t be much of a problem at all.
Myxlplik says
In the end all of this could have been avoided with speech, without cowardice. The ounce of cure, was instead censored, because lies were more convenient.
Petey says
I would swear in Canada we have a law which states anyone who is found guilty of being a mercenary could have their citizenship revoked and denied re entry into the country?! Other then that I hope the stupid bastards all get killed!
dumbledoresarmy says
Two of these evil fools were native-born Franco-Canadian *converts to Islam*.
“Andre Poulin, a Canadian Muslim convert fighting in Syria who called himself Abu Muslim in a television documentary aired on Britain’s Channel 4, said in June that his parents “don’t understand entirely why I’m here.”
“Mr. [Damian] Clairmont, who lived on social assistance in Calgary, and Mr. Poulin, who had brushes with the law in Timmins, Ont., were troubled youths who converted to Islam, became radicalized and died soon after arriving in Syria.”
“Radicalized”. No: being converts, and all enthusiastic, as converts to *anything* usually are, they wanted to do their new “religion” exactly as it says on the tin. They engaged in jihad fi sabil allah; they went out to slay and be slain “in the cause of allah”, the arab demon of blood and war; and they were slain.
Had they rediscovered their *Christian* cultural background, by – say – falling in with a street preacher or urban mission priest, they would be attending church every Sunday and maybe handing out tracts at street corners and volunteering in a soup kitchen…and applying themselves to some kind of useful work. Had they gone for Hare Krishna, they’d be dancing down the street in saffron robes and garlands, banging drums and chanting.
But they “got Islam”…and so they Went Jihad, and rushed off to Syria to wallow in the blood bath, and they got killed.
At least they won’t be coming back to Canada to plot mass murder in Canadian streets and squares; the RCMP has two less security headaches to bother it.
Canadians: you are going to *have* to be regularly writing to your MPs and PM and Immigration and Foreign Ministers, and whoever looks after the “homeland security” portfolio, hammering constantly on the need to apply the Precautionary Principle, by *cancelling the passports and annulling the citizenship or residency* of each and every Muslim from Canada – whether raised-Muslim or a convert – who is known to have left Canada in order to actively engage in or in any way support Jihad in Syria. Or any other Islamic hellpit.
Furthermore: cite the Precautionary Principle, and state that you would like to see a large reduction or indeed total cessation of the flow of Muslim “immigrants” and “refugees” *into* Canada.
Point out, politely, over and over, that if *no* Muslims had ever been allowed into Canada in the first place, there would have been *no* “Toronto 18” mass murder plot, nor would there be people with Canadian passports tooling off to Syria, and that if there were no mosques and no potential for direct face-to-face contact with Muslims, ‘lost souls’ like Andre Poulin and Damian Clairmont would have been rather less likely to embrace Islam and Go Jihad.
Got Muslims; got Jihad.
No Muslims? – no Jihad. Or a lot less, because they can’t hatch it from within the gates, they have to attack from outside, across the borders, like any invading army or raiding party.
