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

Canada-based Muslim charged with jihad plots to kill Americans and support jihad terror groups

Sayfildin-Tahir-SharifThis report identifies Sayfildin Tahir Sharif only as an “Edmonton man.” Is the fact that Sayfildin Tahir Sharif lived in Edmonton really the salient aspect of his biography that will help readers understand his plans to “kill Americans abroad” and provide “material support to a terrorist conspiracy to kill Americans abroad”? Is Edmonton at war with the United States?

“Edmonton man extradited, faces terrorism and murder charges in New York,” The Canadian Press, January 24, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann):

EDMONTON – The U.S. Attorney’s office for the eastern district of New York says an Edmonton man has been extradited and will face terrorism and murder charges.

According to the office’s website, Sayfildin Tahir Sharif — who also goes by Faruq Khalil Muhammad Isa — will face the charges Saturday in a federal courthouse in Brooklyn.

The 36-year-old is charged with conspiring to kill Americans abroad, murdering Americans abroad, and providing material support to a terrorist conspiracy to kill Americans abroad.

The attorney’s office alleges Sharif supported a multinational terrorist network that conducted multiple suicide bombings in Iraq.

The complaint alleges Sharif worked from Edmonton to help a Tunisian man enter Mosul, Iraq, in 2009 and detonate a truck filled with explosives at a military checkpoint, killing five U.S. soldiers….

    “Canada-based Muslim”. Yes, thank you for that model description, one which more media should pick up and follow.

      And the government officials who allowed this man into Canada should at least be fined if not charged with criminal negligence and lose their jobs in the immigration department.

        wait until Justin is leader, then you will see far more of this along with big hugs as he tries to understand the root cause.

          Justin would be a nightmare if he became Prime Minister. Yikes. At least Harper has stood his ground on the threat of terrorism.

    It has nothing to do with Islam, to be sure.

    No jihadi here, no jihadi anywhere, only crazed and dangerous islamiphobies, here and everywhere.

    The attorney’s office alleges Sharif supported a multinational terrorist network that conducted multiple suicide bombings in Iraq.

    Why not just name the group? Does its name have “islam”, “muslim”, “muhammad” or “islamic” somewhere? Was it a right-wing christian terrorist group? Sloppy news-telling, at best.

      If he had been a member of a non-Muslim group, that group would have been named. The Canadians are as bad as the Europeans when it comes to naming Islamic jihadists.

        at least Canadians call muslim terrorists islamists or muslims, whereas Europe calls them “Asians” “insurgents” “militants” “north Africans” “immigrants” or basically anything except the M word

    More Muslim fanatics entering this beautiful country. Why am I not surprised?

    The media are so careful with the words they use to describe these “terrorists.” Thank God for Robert’s Jihad Watch website! He simply says it like it is and I love him for it.

    To Americans: I’m sorry that my incompetent government let this piece of crap in here. Hope your government does the right thing and sentences him to a long prison term.

      No need to apologize Canadian Patriot. We are struggling with the same issues here. We’ll accept your solidarity instead.
