Occasionally even the establishment propaganda media, dedicated as it is to concealing the truth about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, and actively misleading people about that threat, allows a scrap of the truth to break through, no doubt inadvertently. In this story, the CBC deigns to tell us in paragraph 19 that this would-be jihadi “said he would no longer follow Islam.” That suggests that he was a convert to Islam in the first place, as a young man who was born into a Muslim family would not likely think it safe to announce in such a public fashion that he was leaving the religion.
But the main point is that the CBC thereby lets slip that wanting to join the Islamic State and participate in the mass murder of Infidels has everything to do with Islam, such that a young man who has decided not to live for bloodshed and death might think it necessary to leave Islam. This sharply contradicts the universal claim among Western authorities and media that the Islamic State, and jihad terror in general, have nothing to do with Islam.
“House arrest handed to Manitoba teen who wanted to join ISIS,” CBC News, January 9, 2017:
A Manitoba judge has decided against more jail time for a teen who planned to fight for ISIS overseas.
The teen was sentenced in a Brandon courtroom on Monday to time served and six months of house arrest followed by two years of probation. He is also required to wear a GPS tracker for those 2½ years.
Prosecutors had asked that the youth be sentenced to the 14 months of time served followed by seven months of house arrest and the probation order.
The teen, who can’t be identified because he was 16 at the time of the offences, has been in custody since his arrest in November 2015.
The teen was originally to be sentenced in November 2016, but lawyers postponed it at the last minute.
Justice John Combs told court Monday that the teen’s plans to head overseas had little connection with reality, as they involved the transportation of “significant equipment,” but the teen lacked access to a vehicle or even a driver’s licence.
The judge also said the plans didn’t fit the teen’s behaviour.
“This was a boy who cut short a cadet trip because he was homesick,” Combs said.
During a hearing in November 2016, Crown attorney Ian Mahon told court that RCMP traced a number of Twitter accounts to the teen. Several had already been deactivated. Many tweets were posted between March 14 and July 23, 2015.
Investigators found Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) propaganda and communication with someone who identified as an ISIS fighter on the teen’s computer, the judge was told.
Internet searches for ISIS, including for its flags, videos and weapons, and child pornography were also found, the Crown said. The youth received probation for possession of child pornography.
He was charged in November 2015 with counselling the commission of an indictable offence at the direction of, or in association with, a terrorist group. He entered a guilty plea on Sept. 12, 2016, in a Winnipeg youth division provincial court.
The youth was to be released Monday to live with his grandparents in Brandon after being outfitted with a GPS tracking device by the RCMP.
Teen planned to fight for ISIS
He admitted in an interview that he planned to fight for ISIS overseas, the Crown said, adding he told investigators if he was unable to, he would “strike from within” and target government buildings, monuments, infrastructure and government employees on Canadian soil.
Mahon described the interview as chilling.
The boy offered an apology in court in November.
“I wanted to say that I regret what I have done,” he said. “I’d like to apologize to my family for the stress that I’ve caused them … also to the Crown for using their resources [and] also for causing a scare in the community, too.”
He said he was struggling with his identity at the time and didn’t think about the consequences of his action.
He said he would no longer follow Islam….

More nonsense. Paedophilia, alas, is not confined to the vicious thugs if the Islamic State, or Mohammedans worldwide. If this evil little shit was *only* interested in gratifying his perverted sexual desires, he certainly didn’t need to attempt to become part of the Islamic State.
He also planned, if he was unable to join the IS, to carry out terrorist attacks in *Canada*, ” government buildings, infrastructure, monuments, and government employees”. Did you just miss that. part of the article ? sarc.
Your ham fisted implication that perverted and exploitative sex was his sole motivation is ridiculous.
Vic says
Have some compassion. The teen was going through an identity crisis, which means he was at a vulnerable time. He seems to have found his identity and purpose–destroying, maiming and killing. During his interview with the crown he stated that if not allowed to join Isis, he would “strike from within”. Pretty resolute, huh? Seems I have seen and heard that phrase before…. What could any of this have to do with peaceful Islam? Hope he lives by his words of repentance and keeps the GPS monitor on…
Angemon says
That he was, by virtue of his situation, unable to carry out what he planned to do doesn’t mean he wouldn’t do it if he had the means.
Darryl Kerney says
Leniency worked out really well with Aaron Driver right?
Oh wait, he built bombs to carry out an attack that was luckily thwarted, thanks to US intel, and was ON HIS WAY to carry them out when he exploded one in taxi and was shot by police…..
theendofthedemonrat says
He just wanted to target Canadian people and buildings if he couldn’t go join isis. No big deal right. Pitiful Canada.

Why is there always a ban on the identity of “minor” criminals and victims?!
If they are minor thugs, their parents are responsible for them, yet it should
be the right of the public (which politicians take oaths to defend) to know who
they are and where they all live. If the little beasts reform later, they can always
legally change their names. Ditto for minor victims abused by their parents etc!

Government employees? They’re all liberals, in Canada!
No wonder they found his statements “chilling” while refusing to learn from them LOL!

I am not sure what needs to be done for the west to obtain just a little thirst to search for truth regarding Islam. With all that pain Islam created in the world for centuries, America and the west do not want to learn how evil Islam is. How can be so lazy and ignorant while muslims are killing people daily all over the world.
We need to have a different strategy to wake America. Telling the truth about Islam to my family and friends for years have not been working for me except getting higher and higher blood pressure for hearing stupid remarks like “how wonderful most muslims” are. How about TAKIYA?
