Jihad Watch

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

Canadian who ran down two soldiers and charged police with knife was a “radicalized” convert to Islam

Oct 20, 2014 7:52 pm By Robert Spencer

Martin Couture-RouleauThis French-language QMI Agency piece has the information that he said he was acting “in the name of Allah.” And so yet another convert to Islam misunderstands his peaceful religion, turns traitor, and attacks the soldiers of his own nation, like U.S. Army Sergeant Hasan Akbar and so many others. Yet no one would dare suggest that mosques institute programs to teach converts to reject this understanding of Islam. That would be “Islamophobic.” As a society we have to put the loaded gun in our mouth and fire, and hope that the gun will somehow not go off — to do anything else would be “racist” and “bigoted.”

“Two soldiers struck in Quebec hit-and-run,” by Daniel Leblanc and Steven Chase, The Globe and Mail, October 20, 2014:

Two Canadian soldiers in Quebec have been injured in a hit-and-run that is being investigated as a possible terror attack.

Police in Quebec are unsure whether the soldiers were deliberately targeted in the incident, but sources with knowledge of the investigation told The Globe and Mail that the suspect was known to both intelligence and law-enforcement officials before Monday’s hit-and-run in St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, less than an hour outside of Montreal.

The sources said the 25-year-old male was believed to be an Islamic convert who had been radicalized.

One of the soldiers is in critical condition in hospital and authorities are “fearing for his life,” according to the Quebec provincial police. The other victim suffered more minor injuries.

A law enforcement official identified the driver of the car as Martin Couture-Rouleau, confirming an earlier report in Quebec media. Mr. Couture-Rouleau was shot by local police after his car rolled during a pursuit. He died of his injuries, according to the Sûreté du Québec.

The suspect came from St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, and was “known to police,” said Sergeant Michel Brunet, an SQ spokesman, who added Mr. Couture-Rouleau was part of a police database..

Sgt. Brunet said that in addition to the issue of terrorism, the police will also investigate other possibilities, including mental-health issues. “We will comb through [the suspect’s] life, we will see what we find out,” Sgt. Brunet said.

The hit-and-run occurred in the parking lot of a shopping mall. According to media reports, the driver of the vehicle carried a knife.

It was the Harper government that first raised the possibility this was a deliberate effort by terrorists….

      Isabella, You may have also noticed that as soon as a story like this breaks, there then follows few hours of DEAFENING SILENCE from the mainstream media as they all get together in a “media scrum” to make sure they are all singing from the same politically correct songsheet.
      And, of course, they don’t want any troublemakers like you (or me) making their job difficult by pointing out inconvenient truths………. so their ultimate trump card is closing “comments” so their shoddy, biased, politically correct journalism goes unchallenged. A sad commentary on the state of journalism and the health of free speech in our country.

        Oh noes! Most certainly not!
        It’s to prevent the racist, warmongering, islamophobic, intolerant, ultra-rightwing fascists from being given a platform on which to spew their hate.
        A translation: a few true words about Islam are the last thing they want. And risk having the local Islamic Center on your back?

    • Saleem Smith says

      Oct 20, 2014 at 9:16 pm

      Yes, Isabella,

      Unfortunately criticism of Islam and/or Muslim behavior is strictly forbidden in mainstream media.

      Such criticism would be considered grossly “islamophobic” and heads would roll!

    Another deranged nutcase, looking for an outlet for his mental problems. Finds Islamic ideology to be especially appealing. Runs people down. No conscience. It’s Allah approved.

      I envy Canada for having a leader who is not afraid to state that an attack by a lone wolf Muslim may be a jihad attack. Obama would not state this unless forced to under torture. Obama protects Muslims and Islam from legitimate criticism, like a good America-hating left winger.

      • Jen says

        Oct 21, 2014 at 9:17 pm

        @Shane I know. Obama is failing his duty to ensure the safety of people in his country, and elsewhere by doing what he has done. As the leader of a large country, he helps to set the stage for matters on this issue of Islam. It would not take much encouragement from dhimmi politicians elsewhere to follow along with the narrative of Islam that he is helping to promote by his actions and inaction. Someday, people will look back on his behaviour in regards to these matters and see him as an absolute traitor. Which he is, really.

      Another convert to the religion of peace goes on a killing spree…how many is that now? Satan in the guise of Islam twist men’s minds. Note that ONLY ISLAM will take an ordinary person and transfer them into a monster. Not Christianity, not Hinduism, not Buddhism, not Judaism…only Islam. Proving once and for all Islam IS from Satan…bottom line.

      When people become Christians they find peace…when people become Muslims…they lose their humanity.

    He didn’t get radicalized, he became muslim and followed the command of his prophet.

    This is why islam can’t be fixed.

    If you condemn slavery, pedophilia, kidnapping for ransom, banditry, rape, the murder of helpless war captives, assassination, torture, lying (muslims still celebrate as a HOLY DAY the time that Mo chopped off 600 Jewish heads, enslaving the women and children after promising no reprisals.), THEN YOU HAVE CONDEMNED MOHAMMED, which is blasphemy.

  4. PGuud says

    Oct 20, 2014 at 8:37 pm

    Does “radicalized” mean that he was given the go-ahead to act out on the teachings of Islam?

    Islam is Islam, period! It remains a scourge to humanity.

    Islam: where freedom ends and slavery begins.

    • Jay Boo says

      When does a Muslim convert become radicalized?

      — The moment he says “No god but Allah” and becomes a Muslim.

    • Saleem Smith says

      Islam is certainly filled with lies and is inherently violent.

      In fact Muhammad the prophet of Islam is probably the most evil man to have ever walked the earth!

      Happy Halloween! boo hoo hooooo

    He was acting “in the name of Allah”, alright.

    He converted to Islam, started reading the vile Qur’an, and “the brothers” at the local mosque continued filling his mind with hatred for the “various unbelievers.”

    The death cult of Mohammedanism demands Islamic Supremacy. And devout Muslims are more than willing to kill and destroy anyone and anything that stands in the way of Sharia and the demands of Islamic theology.

    We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty for apostasy know that the cruel cult of Mohammedanism is violent to its core.

    Hadith, Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 9, Book 84, No. 57:

    Narrated Ikrima: Some Zanadiqa (unbelievers) were brought to Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn Abbas who said, “If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah’s Apostle forbade it, saying, ‘Do not punish anybody with Allah’s punishment (fire)’. I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah’s Apostle, ‘Whoever changes his Islamic religion, then kill him.’”

    http://www.faithfreedom.org/

    Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:

    “One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…

    The statement continues,

    Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

    Interesting how an overwhelming number of these attacks are being carried out by converts to Islam. Virtually every one.

    Perhaps shows some level of ~ hypocrisy.

    We are going to look like Pakistan in a few years – at this rate.

    And might we be still singing Kumbaya – with regards to Islam.

    It is our belief that religions should operate freely – independent of the state – but with Islam we may have to make an exception.

    We are already seeing encroachments on our freedoms – of speech and privacy – because of this religion.

    Every western country – wishes portray issues surrounding Islam as a local problem – and claim these problems arose because – perhaps they have not done enough to include Muslims – and they need to stop the so-called Islamophobia [because that is really what is behind Isis]. However when we get on the internet – or even turn on the TV – we can see across the world – it becomes clear there is nothing local about the Islamic issue.

    Let’s hope this Canadian soldier pulls through.

    • UnEasyOne says

      Oct 20, 2014 at 10:35 pm

      islam is not a religion. It is a doctrine of conquest and totalitarian rule with religious trappings.

      It is subversive to our entire way of life and in violent opposition to freedom or any government that allows, practices or even tolerates “western values” like freedom of speech or the press.

      No need to make any exception; calling it a religion doesn’t make it one.

    • Steffen Larsen says

      Oct 21, 2014 at 8:13 am

      Clearly he has misunderstood Islam, for on his facebook page he has written: “O you who have believed, do not take the disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Do you wish to give Allah against yourselves a clear case?”

      It’s about the “Occupation”.

      Problem is that even if all Jews disappeared off this planet, and Christians and Hindus and Atheists, as long as Muslims continue to occupy any space on this planet and continue to steal from the remaining oxygen, there will always be Islamic terrorism, even if only between different strains and mutations of that malignant scourge called Islam.

    • Jen says

      Oct 21, 2014 at 10:55 pm

      It’s about time the world gave the Jews a break.
      Islam deserves the spotlight for being the most vile ‘religion’ ever created.

    I’ve been writing for years now about the various attack methods and tactics with we can expect to be hit and how to prepare and defend ourselves… sometimes by going on offense.

    Think you’re not a target? They just haven’t gotten to you yet.

    Hoping that Harper will stand his ground in the face of the inevitable outrage he will face for naming this as a terrorist act (if he did so; it seems unclear at the moment, though it also seems in character). A government statement is due in about half an hour.

  15. Alan McNulty says

    Oct 21, 2014 at 12:17 pm

    I did a double take when I saw this article. Wasn’t aware of the incident, because Canada’a ‘mainstream media’ did not report at all on the background of the ‘alleged’ offender. Only mentioning some individual attempted to run over Canadian soldiers. That’s when they reported the story at all.

  16. gp says

    Oct 21, 2014 at 7:15 pm

    Pray for the deceased Canadian soldier and his family. Thank God for our troops and the RCM Police.

    The murderous radical muslim jihadist perpetrator is now a moderate deep down.
