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

Toronto Muslim charged with carrying concealed meat cleaver into Parliament

Nov 18, 2015 9:26 pm By Robert Spencer

You know how this kind of thing can happen: how often have you rushed out of the house, late for where you need to be, and forget that you’re carrying your meat cleaver? But not to worry: it had nothing to do with terrorism. He’s mentally ill, you see. Authorities repeat that claim with increasing frequency, never pausing to ponder why Muslims who are mentally ill tend to do things like put on suicide vests and carry meat cleavers into Parliament much more frequently than mentally ill non-Muslims do.

“Toronto man, 56, charged with carrying concealed cleaver into Parliament,” by Andrew Seymour, Ottawa Citizen, November 18, 2015 (thanks to all who sent this in):

A Toronto man who allegedly tried to carry a meat cleaver onto Parliament Hill is to undergo a psychiatric assessment.

A lawyer for Yasin Ali asked for the assessment in court Wednesday after the 56-year-old appeared by video from the courthouse cellblock on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon. He will remain in jail until his next appearance on Friday, when he is to appear in court in person.

A man had a ticket to visit the Peace Tower, and was in line to go through the visitors’ entrance at about 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday when a House of Commons security guard asked him to open his coat. The guard found the man was concealing a large cleaver with an approximately six-inch-long blade. The man never made it as far as the metal detectors.

RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson told reporters that Ali is known to authorities, but “not in the sort of counter-terrorism context.”

In fact, Paulson does not believe that the man’s actions were politically motivated or an act of terror.

“I understand it is less a concern around so-called national security considerations as it is a mental health issue,” he said. “There is a history of behaviours that are odd.””

Paulson added that he was “very pleased with the response of the security service. That’s exactly what they are supposed to do. They did that. They did it well.”

Ali’s court appearance Wednesday was slightly delayed after it became apparent he might need the assistance of an interpreter as he speaks Somali Arabic.

It is not known why he was in Ottawa or on Parliament Hill….

    “Authorities repeat that claim with increasing frequency, never pausing to ponder why Muslims who are mentally ill tend to do things like put on suicide vests and carry meat cleavers into Parliament much more frequently than mentally ill non-Muslims do.”

    The authorities are right – he *is* mentally ill, as are the members of ISIS, etc.

    I actually agree with them. The problem is that they need to complete their analysis, and conclude that Islam is the cause of the mental illness, or at least of this particular manifestation.

      I’m sure turdeau will put in a good word for him,
      having attended a jihadist inspired conference,
      and prayed with them.

          We can’t be sure about anything that has to do with our new PM. He talks like an idiot but that does not matter because he has good looks and was born into fame and money. For all we know he could be the bastard son of Mick Jagger but that does not matter because he is surrounded by a great PR team. Canada under Trudeau can become US’ security nightmare.

    Would he have caused *terror* if he had gotten further? Would he have caused *terror* if he had sliced a neck or two? Would they then label it terrorism?

    Will butchers be profiled? The *mentally ill* are maligned when this happens and the moslim with the weapon is said to be *suffering from mental illness.*

    “. . . you rushed out of the house, late for where you need to be, and forget that you’re carrying your meat cleaver?”

    Probably on his way to the 2015 Canadian Convention of Lone Wolves.

    “’I understand it is less a concern around so-called national security considerations as it is a mental health issue . . . There is a history of behaviours that are odd.’”

    Back in June 2006, a 25-year-old restaurant worker – Steven Chand (Abdul Shakur) – was charged with plotting to enter Parliament and behead the Prime Minister. It seems that Yasin Ali has exhibited the same mental health issues as his fellow Muslim predecessor. As such, the only natural response should be that Parliamentarians declare the area to be a “meat-cleaver-free zone,” thereby ensuring that no further incidents of this type might occur. Additionally, an immediate cessation of the Concealed Cleaver License program should occur, thus ensuring the safety of all law-abiding Canadian citizens.

    Yes, the behavior is odd . . . for those who consider the “Peace Tower” to be a place of peace. However, it is indeed the “Submission Tower”, and Yasin’s motive – which had absolutely nothing to do with Islam or the directives to stab, behead, and kill in any way possible those who reject Islam – was nothing but a laudable effort to remind those present that Islam is supreme, taking precedence over any man-made laws. After all, as Ralph Peters has so astutely stated, “Jihadist lives matter” . . . no one else’s . . . just mentally disturbed Muslims . . . or unvetted Syrian refugees.

    [Note: In case it is not obvious, this comment is replete with sarcasm.]

      Very good.

      Of course this could be just an autonomic response to all those years when a mother inquired of her son as he was leaving for school, “Do you have everything thing you’ll need Dear? Your pencils, eraser, lunch, and meat cleaver…”

    The insanity defense of Yasin Ali is an attempt to distract from his ALLAH DEFENSE.

    Jihad defends ‘Allah’s rights’…Muslims are the vigilantes who heroically enforce Allah’s will against the dirty kafirs.

    Muslims cannot deny jihad is valid, so they will gladly pretend this man is ‘ill’, because his jihad is ineffective. Otherwise, he would be a hero, martyr, etc. had he succeeded in killing the Prime Minister of Canada or some cabinet minister at least.

    OK ….. so he was going into parliament as a tourist, in court he had to have an interpreter, so how did he know ….

    1/ the cost of the ticket ?
    2/ how to get there ?
    3/ where he was going ?
    4 how did he manage travel and money exchange ?

    Support people he must have had support, which means this had to have been planned from the get go …

      Dummy run?

      There is a reference to metal detectors.

      So, if the on-the-ball security guard hadn’t spotted him ahead of time and asked him to “open his coat”, the weapon would have been picked up by the metal detectors.

      Kudos to the security guard who’s “Doesn’t Look Right” antennae were clearly in full working order.

      This is actually a very accurate assessment of the situation. It’s as if you’ve tapped into the heads of both the leftists and the moslems with your post and given a snapshot of what’s going on in there. I’m completely serious. This is a terrific post.

      trudeau has nothing to worry about from muslims since he is one of them. No one goes and prays as much as he does in mosques who isn’t a muslim. All during his campaign all we saw were pictures of him in mosques all over Canada and not a single picture of him was taken in a regular church.

    I noticed the shift to “mentally ill” sometime in the last few months.

    It’s obviously a smokescreen.

    But it’s also true in the sense that substantial numbers of muslims are idiots and/or insane due to more than a millennium of consanguineous marriage.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Nov 20, 2015 at 9:11 pm

      “more than a millennium of consanguineous marriage..:”.

      *Only* in the case of those core ethnic groups that were Islamised in the first couple of centuries. There are a lot of others, now swallowed up by the Ummah, that succumbed to Islam much more recently and have therefore been inbreeding for a shorter period of time.

      For example, Albania and Bosnia – and, in the east, Malaysia and Indonesia – were only Islamised in the late Middle Ages. Which means they’ve had, say, 700 years under Islam rather than *1400* years.

      In Africa, Nubia was a Christian kingdom until the 16th or 17th century, before being overwhelmed and Islamised. So, 300 or 400 years, rather than 1400.

      Even in Afghanistan, there is one region – now called Nuristan – that was completely Kuffar until the 18th/ 19th century; so its population has only been subject to Islam and Islamic breeding habits for about 8 generations max.

      There are portions of West Africa that have only turned Muslim in the past century or less.

      The other factor you do have to take into account is the inflow of fresh genetic material via the many Dhimmi and Harbi females seized by Mohammedan kidnappers and stuffed into harems and used not only as disposable sex toys but, quite frequently, as broodstock, down through the centuries.

    Well, Islam is a mental illness, but the big question here is:

    Was he a Syrian refugee?

    • gravenimage says

      Nov 20, 2015 at 9:23 pm

      Nope–a Somali. The very same fine Muslims who are causing so much havoc south of the border in the US:

    In the old USSR, some political dissidents were treated for mental disorder. It is not uncommon for people having different political values and views to be treated as if they were mentally ill, whatever that means. In this way, their ideas, words and actions don’t have to be taken seriously.

  17. Don McKellar says

    Nov 19, 2015 at 11:33 am

    That is the pattern for leftist dictatorships. Centrist governments and those veering to the right only consider if the actions were criminal under the law and tend to examine actual motivations (though often secretly). Left-fascist dictatorships and “communist” governments (there has never been any such thing, as communism is an artificial construct that doesn’t work as a government system) often use a mental illness default assessment for any who do not follow the party line or agree with their philosophy or to reduce in importance an individual’s actions. We will see a lot of mental illness diagnoses during Turdeau’s regime as the jihad attacks ramp up and he floods in hundreds if not thousands of ticking time bombs with his recklessly politically correct Syrian “refugee” plan. After every deadly jihad attack or attempted attack, the Islamic supremacist jihadi will be sent for mental illness assessment. The philosophy and texts behind it that were the direct motivation for the murders of innocents or attempted murders will be completely ignored. Just like they are under the Obama regime. We’ve seen this time and again.

    A Toronto man who allegedly tried to carry a meat cleaver onto Parliament Hill is to undergo a psychiatric assessment.

    Yes, yes, a total nut job – can you believe he thinks islam mandates warfare against and subjugation of non-believers? Who but a crazy person would think such a thing? Why, Obama and Cameron say it doesn’t – who are we to think we’re smarter than them or know better than them?

    “In fact, Paulson does not believe that the man’s actions were politically motivated or an act of terror.”

    Oh no, I am sure this Islamic nut bag was going to wave it gently rather than violently as he was chopping people’s necks. Beheading in a friendly manner.

    Oh for God’s sake, we now have the rcmp formally and repeatedly kissing Islam’s ass. This is pathetic. A Somali Arab, guaranteed to be muslim. Most of these reports state that these terrorist acts involve muslims with mental issues. It is obvious that this is a genetic race related characteristic because we ALL know that Islam is a race. That is why we are called racists.

    We hope that medical and health standards are followed by Immigration staff to prevent races with known mental issues from entering our country.

    A meat cleaver… the media has downplayed this story, which is not surprising. Now that Trudeau, the younger, is our new Overlord, one thing is a certainty, this nation will be overrun, awash with Islamists. The media, too, is culpable, labeling those of us whom oppose this mass migration, racist or Islamophobes. The truth being, we have all witnessed from the Euros, France in particular and the UK’s permitting themselves ot be overrun by Islam. Islam is bent on the destruction of Western-Democracy; Trudeau, and his comrades along with most Western leaders prefer denial, out and out ignorance or prefer this bloodletting cult over our Judeo-Christian ethic and democracy.

    The arrogance of our new dullard PM is not so mind-boggling, he learned well from his father. One thing is a certainty, as well; Pierre was relativity intelligent, manipulative and sly. His son, on the other hand, seems to have gained more from his mother’s gene-pool. Oh Canada, get your prayer mats and Korans ready.
