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

Canadian convert to Islam welcomes Israeli Jews to convert to Islam and join Islamic State

Aug 25, 2014 9:03 am By Robert Spencer

al-KanadiThat this is a news story for the Jerusalem Post at all shows how widespread the misunderstanding of the current conflict really is. Western analysts continue to discount religious motivations and goals, when for someone like Abu Khalid al-Kanadi they are the only spur to get him from Canada to Syria. He would welcome Israeli Jews who converted to Islam just as he would welcome anyone who converted to Islam, because the hegemony of Islam is the point of the entire enterprise. In other words, the one element denied and disregarded by Western analysts is the one element that is central and non-negotiable to the jihadis themselves.

“Canadian jihadi welcomes Israeli Jews to join ISIS… if they convert,” by Joanna Paraszczuk, Jerusalem Post, August 24, 2014 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):

A Canadian jihadi fighting with the Islamic State (formerly ISIS) in Syria has said that he believes Israeli Jews would be allowed to join the faction and could even fight in Syria – if they converted to Islam first.

The jihadi, who goes by the nickname Abu Khalid al-Kanadi (“Abu Khalid the Canadian”) made the remark this week in response to a question asked to him via social networking site Ask.fm.

Al Kanadi says he converted to Islam in 2010 and that it was not difficult for him to leave his family in Canada to go to Syria. “They reacted mainly with confusion, not understanding why someone would leave Canada to go to a land of war,” he told his Ask.fm followers.

The Canadian-born Islamic convert is also active on Twitter, where he frequently expresses violent, anti-American and anti-Semitic views. In recent tweets, he dubbed the United States “a nation of evil” and the “land of the immoral and home of the cowards”, warning that the flag of the Islamic Caliphate would soon fly over the White House. Regarding the Jews, al-Kanadi tweeted, “There has never been a people more racist in human history than the Jews.”

Al-Kanadi has urged other Westerners to follow his lead and convert to Islam.

“I was one of you, a disbeliever living in the West. Then I converted to Islam and joined ISIS. Praise be to Allah!” he tweeted earlier this month. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) estimates that at least 30 Canadians are fighting with extremist groups in Syria, and warned that they pose an “immediate” threat to Canadian national security.

    The deep denial only ends when their heads are chopped off.

    Did anyone not see this coming?
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/terrorism-in-the-uk/11054372/Britons-who-go-to-Syria-are-guilty-until-proved-innocent-says-Boris-Johnson.html

    “In an article for The Telegraph, Mr Johnson warns that police are finding it “very difficult” to press charges against suspected jihadists without direct evidence of their “ghastly” activities.”

    Just on holiday in Aleppo, mate. Every member of IS is guilty of conspiracy to commit genocide and conspiracy to murder by associating. This is not legal rocket surgery. That’s just a baseline set of charges.

    “The Constitution is not a suicide pact” is a phrase in American political and legal discourse. The phrase expresses the belief that constitutional restrictions on governmental power must be balanced against the need for survival of the state and its people. It is most often attributed to Abraham Lincoln, as a response to charges that he was violating the United States Constitution by suspending habeas corpus during the American Civil War.

    From the few quotes we have here it looks like this guy made a fairly smooth transition from left-liberal secular politics to jihadism. The surreal idea that Jews are exceptionally racist is a leftwing staple, for example, as are the anti-American views. It’s not hard to see how leftists and Islamic supremacists fall in love, at least until the leftists get their heads chopped off when the inevitable break-up occurs.

    19 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
    2 And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
    3 And he sought to see Jesus, who He was, but could not for the press of the crowd, because he was short in stature.
    4 And he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was to pass that way.
    5 And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said unto him, “Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must abide at thy house.”
    6 And he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully.
    7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying that He had gone to be the guest of a man who was a sinner.
    8 And Zacchaeus stood and said unto the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I restore to him fourfold.”
    9 And Jesus said unto him, “This day is salvation come to this house, in that he also is a son of Abraham.
    10 For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
    11 And as they heard these things, He added and spoke a parable, because He was nigh to Jerusalem and because they thought that the Kingdom of God should immediately appear.
    12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
    13 And he called his ten servants and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, ‘Make use of it till I come.’
    14 But his citizens hated him and sent a message after him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’
    15 And it came to pass that when he had returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
    16 Then came the first, saying, ‘Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.’
    17 And he said unto him, ‘Well done, thou good servant; because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.’
    18 And the second came, saying, ‘Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.’
    19 And he said likewise to him, ‘Be thou also over five cities.’
    20 And another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid away in a napkin.
    21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou layest not down, and reapest what thou did not sow.’
    22 And he said unto him, ‘Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down and reaping what I did not sow.
    23 Why then gavest not thou my money unto the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with interest?’
    24 And he said unto them that stood by, ‘Take from him the pound and give it to him that hath ten pounds.’
    25 (And they said unto him, ‘Lord, he hath ten pounds!’)
    26 ‘For I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.
    27 But those mine enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring them hither and slay them before me.’”
    28 And when Jesus had thus spoken, He went ahead, ascending up to Jerusalem.

    Al Kanadi dubbed the United States “a nation of evil” and the “land of the immoral and home of the cowards”, warning that the flag of the Islamic Caliphate would soon fly over the White House.

    Would a land of the immoral and home of the cowards (only seven years after the 9/11/2001 jihadi attacks on the U.S.) elect a Muslim-born president whose middle name is Hussein, who sees it as his job to fight negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear?

    Maybe.

    Muslims live in Canada but none are Canadians. We do not support violence or hatred. We will fight those who adopt violent and hateful ideologies.

      So Guy, in our peaceful non violent Canada , how do you propose that we fight those who adopt violent and hateful ideologies. Do you follow Sun News and see that when the wicked march for Palestine in supportof terrorists, and Israel supporters come out to stand for Israel, they get pulverized and the police are reluctant to press charges against jihadists. No Guy, I want to leave this country so bad because we are infiltrated and milk sucking liberal cowards with “bad-guy protecting ” legislation—but if Ieave who will stay to give the gospel of truth and tell people to wake up to the threat with in. I realize there has to be Bonhoffers who will go the course because at one time this country stood for something and our foundations were firm.

        We could start by demanding that the authorities strip Islam of its privileged status as a religion and declare it a subversive militant political ideology aimed at world domination.

        There is nowhere to go, muslims are everywhere. That is another thing we can demand, that all immigration of muslims be halted and that mosques and madrassas be closed down.

        We have to start with big demonstrations and ceaseless pressure on the councils and state. This worked for people in the Gold Coast. They even sent threatening letters, like the muslims do, threatening to behead and rape the councillors. We just have to get very serious. There are far more of us than there are of them.

    They say that Satan converted to Islam, but, it could possibly be vice-versa.
