What could possibly go wrong? “RCMP release P.E.I. chemistry student suspected of terrorism activities with an order to ‘keep the peace,'” by Douglas Quan, National Post, March 25, 2015:
Two different pictures emerged Wednesday of a Prince Edward Island university student who is the target of a national security probe.
In the eyes of the Mounties, Seyed Amir Hossein Raisolsadat was on the verge of committing a terrorism offence, which is why they say they made the rare move of asking for a peace bond to limit his movements.
But friends and acquaintances chalk it up to one big misunderstanding, saying that Mr. Raisolsadat, 20, is a smart young man from a good-mannered family and not capable of violence.
The RCMP would not divulge how Mr. Raisolsadat came to the attention of police or what activities they suspect he was involved in. But it appears that the investigation has been in motion for a while.
A friend, who asked not to be identified, said police came to him about a year ago to ask questions about Mr. Raisolsadat.
“They asked the same things you’re asking me now,” the friend, who went to Colonel Gray High School with Mr. Raisolsadat, said Wednesday.
The friend said Mr. Raisolsadat gets good grades and has a passion for chemistry. He can be a bit of a braggart at times, someone who likes to “act tough” and talk politics. “But he’s not a military person, he’s not a terrorist — just a typical guy,” the friend said.
RCMP spokesman Sgt. Greg Cox said Wednesday that police will “pursue an application for a [court] order to keep the peace and be of good behaviour if they have reasonable grounds to believe that a person may commit a terrorism offence.”
Court documents show that Mr. Raisolsadat was arrested and released Tuesday on the condition that he remain in the province, abstain from possessing a firearm and report weekly to the RCMP headquarters in Charlottetown. He is due back in court on April 20….

“abstain from possessing a firearm”
I’d personally limit him to five pressure cookers too.
Shane says
All devout Muslims are capable of violence as they want to be just like Muhammad and kill the enemies of Islam and kill the blasphemers. Any Muslims suspected of planning jihad should be deported to a Muslim country.
mortimer says
A devout Muslim jihadist with a solid understanding of chemistry! WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
Fred says
All muslims that do anything that jihadish should be deported to a muslim country.
Georg says
So all this time we could simply have asked Muslim extremists to keep the peace? I knew James Taylor was draconian.
Maybe take him to a hug a white person event? Or teach him about the no true Scotsman fallacy so he can keep it in mind when he’s pondering ill-intent toward Canadians. As IS isn’t Islamic surely Canadians aren’t really Canadian. See, we must speak their language. All this logic has been getting in our way.
Or… he could be banned from studying chemistry in any capacity. But would that be mean?
What to do…

And to think this happened in the Birthplace of Canada. God Save the Queen.
Ephesian says
Why have they been soooo harsh with the little dear?Why not just put him on the naughty step for half and hour and ta dah! All will be ok again.
Richie says
apparently Muslims are now a protected class- the more violent they are, the more protection they get
Charli Main says
An order to keep the peace ????
Well, keeping the peace won´t present any hardship for this Muslim.
Of course, that’s the Muslim interpretation of “peace” as defined in the Koran.
littlenan says
They sound as wet and negligent as our UK government. In England we hear sound and fury from MPs but inadequate punishment for the evil-doers. They will not even deport foreign criminals if the little darlings will face too much trouble back home, or if they buy a pet cat in the UK and to send them back would breach their “rights to a family life” according to the wretched human rights law that the war criminal Blair incorporated into our own law.
vlparker says
Well, I feel better now that I know he can’t possess a firearm. Just like I feel so safe when I go to the library or the post office because they have those “no firearm” signs posted on the door.
Rob Porter says
Yes, today this is about the level of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police! After a Muslim conducting jihad in Ottawa shot dead a Canadian soldier and then invaded the parliamentary building where he was shot dead, a security expert found that the RCMP had whitewashed the report to reduce the responsibility of Islam on the Muslim’s actions. If the RCMP is being influenced by the now thoroughly corrupted FBI and CIA in respect of Islam, heaven help us. What kind of insanity leads Western police, military and politicians to tread softly regarding Islam? Apparently it is political correctness gone mad. Decent men and women with moral standards deeply ingrained are outraged by the savagery and disgusting behaviour of radical Muslims, wary of those Muslims who are silent in the face of Muslim barbarism, and contemptuous of those who resort to the accusation of ‘Islamophobia’ then legitimate criticism of Islam arises.
mortimer says
Sickening! Gullible! Credulous! Uninformed!
Is that the right way to run a police force?
There are 160,000 jihad sympathizers in Canada right now according to opinion surveys! FACT!
How many jihadists among them? At least a few hundred! FACT!
Police, do not be naïve.
David says
What is the difference between a jihadist and a jihadi sympathizer? Probably not a lot. Given a mob of sympathizers what might it take to turn them into a snarling, drooling gang of vicious jihadis?
David says
Perhaps all he really needs is a new pair of skates, a call of support from Mr. Bieber, and a part-time McJob. And, oh, a bottle of maple syrup would help to reenforce his Canadian identity, too.

Joe Shmo says
I anticipate there’ll be a time in the future, sooner or later, when habeus corpus will be suspended for potential terror suspects.
Linda Rivera says
It appears the Islam-adoring authorities would like the Muslim terrorist to succeed in violent jihad against hated Canadian Infidels.

“But he’s not a military person, he’s not a terrorist — just a typical guy,” the friend said.
Just remember, “typical” guys – if they are muzlim, and are bright chemists – can poison water supplies or come up with some really deadly chemicals that can be distributed just about anywhere.
Richard Courtemanche says
Hmmm! I don’t know if that will be a sufficient deterrent.
Tom Billesley says
A peaceful hobbyist with an interest in Chemical Weapons. What’s to be concerned about.

Canada: Muslim chemistry student suspected of jihad terror activities released with order to “keep the peace”
…………………………….
It would be mad enough to release a garden-variety criminal under such circumstances—that this is a plotting Jihadist is many times more insane.
