Canada: 17-year-old Muslim arrested for trying to join the Islamic State

Mar 21, 2015 8:58 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic State bannerHow long are Western authorities going to pretend that all these young Muslims streaming into the Islamic State from the West, or trying to, were “radicalized on the Internet” or “misunderstand their peaceful religion”? These young people are trying to join the Islamic State because of the Islam they learned in their own mosques and from their own families. Everyone assumes that not to be the case, but it has never been investigated. Apparently it is too frightening a concept for officials to contemplate.

“Alberta youth arrested on terrorism charges,” by Ryan Cormier and Alicja Siekierska, Edmonton Journal, March 21, 2015:

A 17-year-old boy arrested Thursday in Beaumont, Alta., has been charged with attempting to leave Canada with the intention of joining Islamic State extremists to commit murder.

The youth, who cannot be identified, faces two terrorism-related charges. He appeared before a justice of the peace Thursday in Edmonton and was denied bail. He is scheduled to return to court April 9. The RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team arrested the youth.

The teen is charged with attempting to leave Canada on March 8 to join a terrorist group and, on the second charge, to participate in terrorist activity. The youth intended to commit an offence, “namely murder, in circumstances that constitute terrorist activity,” his charges state. The youth attempted to leave Canada on March 8.

“Throughout this investigation, our focus remained on the safety and protection of the public,” RCMP spokesman Sgt. Harold Pfleiderer said Friday. “While it may be difficult for parents to come forward to the police, it is important for families and communities to contact police as soon as they suspect that an individual is being radicalized.”

Keep hoping.

…A report in January said three members of Edmonton’s Somali-Canadian community were allegedly killed while fighting overseas for Islamic State, also known as ISIL or ISIS, last fall. In February, it was also reported that a young woman who fled Canada to join ISIL last year had been recruited via an online course about Islam run by a woman based in Edmonton.

    At a minimum the ELITEs are usin Islam to “Strike Terror into the hearts of the infidel” so that da sheeple will gladly give up ALL human rights to the Trans National Global BANKSTER Elites so that they can establish Satan’s Beast’s New World Order once America’s destruction is complete.
    .
    ALL those preachin and confessing to desirin a World wide Caliphate and the establishment of Sharia Law should be deported, along with their dependents, immediately to an Islamic Paradise of their choosin.
    .
    Stop ALL Islamic Immigration NOW!

    A lot of these guys don’t have girl friends.

    Why don’t they just buy a Play Boy magazine, and go somewhere private and learn to Master Hate like normal 17 year old males?

    4:76 Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah , and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of Taghut. So fight against the allies of Satan. Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak.

    fight in the cause of Allah , and those who disbelieve come to fight with Muslim, with the intention of hate, killing ,rape….

    protecting ppl blood & property from the terrorist /mas murders are responsible for an ideal/moral means ,they fight against with all courageous /hope against only warriors,bec’s they r fighting the way of allha(following the rules of allha) & not the way of satan like coward/losers/hapless fighting innocent believers like hitler,musolini,stalin,crusaders,us,uk,isis,boko,etc …………….

      Shabeer, your “Allah” is a helpless coward who dupes the ignorant into doing the opposite of what the true God desires … and you are an enabler of the spreading of misery across the Earth. You look the other way to avoid the ugliness of your god now that your god reveals its true face and stares directly at you. Your god is evil and you know it but you won’t admit it ….. even to yourself..

    Jay Boo–I agree with you, but think that because he cannot get sex (while alive) (perhaps just too damn ugly), he might be hoping to get killed quickly and get the 72 virgins.

    or, the jihad bride dumb girls/women who find this type of lie ‘fascinating” or exiting, or whatever.

    (The 2 Italian 19 year olds; the British teens; the Colorado bimbo who was stopped-her parents had alerted the Feds., etc).

    They would all probably spread their legs for a jihadist; and at 17- probably could go for a long time, or have quick recup ability.

    Awesome…. My quiet little town of Beaumont is now in the news because of this. I never thought I would see the day where my town would make it on Robert Spencer’s website. This makes the situation really hit home. If this problem is here, then it can be anywhere…..

    Somali youth becoming Jihadis? But I thought they were all thankful refugees in Canada, given preferential treatment with free medical and dental benefits, life time welfare and free housing. So why would they turn against generous, democratic Canada? Puzzle. The solution: allow more muslim refugees to turn a (once) peacefull country into an Islamic crap hole.

      The original ‘mo’ said that the earth is flat, and the sun sets in a muddy pool – about the norm for a savage. Why should anyone ‘buy’ ANYTHING from a fellow moron like you?
