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

Canada: Dozens of jihadis walking free, yet authorities won’t charge them

May 29, 2017 8:47 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Could a Manchester-style attack happen here in Canada? The answer, sadly, is a resounding “yes”…..That’s because we’ve already got jihadists like Salman Abedi, the 22-year-old behind the horrific concert attack, right here on home turf. Dozens of them. Perhaps over a hundred.

A hundred is just a rough number, and as the case of Salman Abedi unfolds, it is turning out to be quite the sizeable network of active jihadis.

News coming out of Canada that jihadists are running free while authorities do not charge them should not surprise anyone. Western countries are in grave danger as tens of thousands of Islamic State foreign jihadis return to their home countries. The Islamic State also promised to infiltrate the refugee stream, and did it; and both the Islamic State and Al Qaeda have been calling for lone wolf jihad attacks in the West for some time. The picture is grim, and innocent civilians in the West are in danger: truth tellers are increasingly ganged up on and shut up in the stealth jihadist “Islamophobia” drive that has allied with the left in working toward the subjugation of the House of War.

Jihadis on the loose is not just a Canadian problem, as we should all know. It’s a global one.

Meanwhile, Canada’s Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen defends the reinstatement of Canadian citizenship to convicted terrorists, and Canada continues to welcome unvetted immigrants.

“Canada has dozens of jihadists walking free, yet authorities won’t charge them”, by Anthony Furey, Toronto Sun, May 24, 2017:

Could a Manchester-style attack happen here in Canada? The answer, sadly, is a resounding “yes.”

Asking why it hasn’t happened yet is perhaps more to the point. That’s because we’ve already got jihadists like Salman Abedi, the 22-year-old behind the horrific concert attack, right here on home turf. Dozens of them. Perhaps over a hundred.

How do we know this? Because the heads of our security agencies say so. They’ve compiled the lists, they have the names and have some sense of where the radicals are at. The only thing they haven’t done is charge them.

Last March, CSIS director Michel Coulombe testified in front of a Senate committee that, at the time, there were 60 Canadians known to have returned home from going abroad to participate in terror activities.

These included paramilitary exercises, receiving jihadi training, providing logistical support for operations and more. Basically, they went to terrorist training camp. Then they came home. “Ticking time bomb” is the accurate phrase to describe this situation.

U.K. Home Secretary Amber Rudd recently confirmed that Abedi was known to authorities. For specifically what reasons, we’re not sure. The speculation is that it has to do with what he’d gotten up to during a recent visit to Libya.

Coulombe also said last year that there were an additional 180 Canadians who at that time were still abroad engaging in terror-related activities. A year ago. And how many of them have since come home?

These acts are serious Criminal Code violations. So if we’ve identified dozens of Canadians hot for jihad, why on Earth are we letting them move freely?

It can be difficult to build a proper case, terrorism expert and Carleton University Professor Alex Wilner pointed out on my radio show Wednesday morning. If the alleged terror offence took place in countries, such as Iraq and Syria, it’s tough to compile the evidence and get help from what exists of law enforcement in the regions.

Even when they return home to Canada, it takes dozens of officers to perform surveillance on one radical.

“We have to dedicate our limited resources to those that we think are the greatest threat,” CSIS deputy director of operations Jeff Yaworski told a committee back in 2014.

Despite all this, it’s clear Canada also just isn’t committed to going all in to charge these guys. RCMP commissioner Bob Paulson confirmed as much in remarks he gave to media last year.

“If we’re not getting the evidence, are we satisfying the safety issues by surveillance and other techniques while we collect the evidence or are there alternative ways of keeping communities safe by direct interventions with the individual or his family?” Paulson said last March. “In other cases, we’ve assessed that they’re back, they’re sorry, they’re working to try to get their heads straight and we’re relying on family members or other professionals.”

That’s right. If jihadists say they’re sorry and their moms promise to keep them on the straight and narrow, the RCMP opt not to charge them. It’s madness.

Back in the summer of 2015 the standing Senate committee on national security and defence released a report on countering terrorism.

Here’s recommendation 19: “The Government encourage police and Crown prosecutors to enforce provisions of the Criminal Code in all relevant matters involving terrorism in the criminal pre-criminal space.”

Yes, a government report actually had to humbly suggest that we actually enforce anti-terrorism laws…..

      ALL Muslims live in constant fear of their own Muslim relatives, Muslim friends, and Muslim acquaintances. Any of them could betray them and slit their throats.

      Every Muslim may murder a blasphemer or apostate under Sharia, so every Muslim is the enemy of every Muslim.

    TO ALL PATRIOTS:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPYK-0spito

    It is time for Canadians to take their country back. You can do so by joining me in Ottawa on June 3rd and 4th. I will be speaking at 11 a.m. At Parliament Hill on Saturday, June 3rd. There will be other great public speakers who wished to tell you what is wrong with your nation and how all of you can help us fix it.

    Our government has failed all of us and it is time that we not only send a message that we will not tolerate this anymore but begin the process of removing all of them from office.

    Join us in Ottawa, our nation’s capital on June 3rd at 11 a.m. and I promise that you will start to see just how powerful the voice of the people really is!

        Patriots vs. Globalists:

        What we face today is an international conspiracy of influence to turn the world into one huge common reservoir of incompetence controlled by a group of elites. Some, like Soros, have that obvious intentional goal. Some, like Gates and Zuckerberg, are amateurs being influenced by more sinister nation-destroyers.

        It’s worth the time to read Zuckerberg’s Harvard commencement speech to discover that he is anti-nationalist, anti-patriotic, and wants to foster globalism along with the other corporate-world seditionists.

        This is what we are actually facing – nation-killing sedition – from leftists, universities, corporations, and Islam whose separate goals coalesce upon sedition like streams joining into a mighty river. They are foolishly destroying belief in the values of their native countries; rewriting history to demean their nation, selling out laborers, taking far more than they contribute, turning people into commodities, nibbling away freedom for the masses, and inviting seditionist immigrants who will not integrate.

        Islam is like a gaping monster with its jaws open to devour the remains of our moral-less menagerie; now aided and abetted by the very entities it will destroy.

        There has never been such a grand confluence set upon the destruction of our Western nations. We will either fight back and reclaim our nations and their sovereignty or be reduced to work units in a global, nationless, structure of bondage under some successor of the UN.

    Every young Muslim is a potential jihadist. All of them, I repeat ALL THEM. Are easily influenced. It does not matter if they are British, Pakistani, Moroccan … what they believe is happening to other Muslims in other parts of the world will take it as a religious war. There is no possible coexistence, only submission.

    Our police are becoming as much of a joke as the British police have become in dealing with radical Islamists and illegal border crossing people (they are not refugees neither are they migrants).

    Our RCMP don’t have the resources to maintain surveillance on Jihadi’s in waiting but they have the resources to act as bell hops to carry the suitcases of illegals over the border to ensure they don’t twist an ankle or get a hernia carrying their own bags over such rough ground.

    OMG talk about having your priorities wrong !! What about the safety of Canadians ??

    All the money being spent to house, feed and clothe and provide spending money to illegal aliens and refugee claimants should be redirected to the RCMP and CSIS so that they do not have such lame excuses for not keeping these potential Jihadi’s under close surveillance.

    This Trudeau liberal left wing government has its priorities completely wrong …. it MUST be Canadians’ safety first !! Anything less is an abrogation of their duty as government and they must go !!!!!!

      If you eliminate welfare for them, they will learn english and integrate. Otherwise they will remain apart until numbers are great enough to topple the government. They will be voting muslims in as well

      • gravenimage says

        May 30, 2017 at 7:38 pm

        With all respect, p, I don’t believe Muslims would integrate if they were not given welfare. But at least they’d have to wage Jihad against us on their own dime…

      But according to our leftie liberal luvvies, and our so-called leaders this can’t be right because the problems lie with only a tiny, tiny minority. According to them the overwhelming majority, in their perfectly integrated communities, are peaceful citizens who wouldn’t hurt a fly, should not be demonised and are horrified by and abhor and condemn any terrorist act as much as the rest of us. Yes – and I’m the Queen of Sheba!

    One hundred jihad-ready terrorists in Canada? More likely ten times that number. Out of 1,053,945 Muslims in Canada, it is likely that one out a thousand (0.1%) are jihad-ready. They are waiting to be asked to participate ‘in the way of Allah’.

    Many Muslims in Canada are going to rifle ranges and mosques post ads for martial arts classes.

    Did you ever see martial arts classes advertised in a church? You didn’t.

        The Saudi flag has a sword as the national symbol.

        Some believe the Islamic crescent is actually the bow of Qos, the Arabian god of war.

    Non-enforcement of the law is a key stratagem of liberals. It’s highly effective and there is no incremental cost to not do something. America is going through its own open disloyalty crisis with the open borders crowd. But not enforcing laws against jihad mass murder terrorism, that’s something altogether. Somehow even worse.

    Canada is probably relatively safe as long as she refrains from aiding in the fight against IS or any other jihadist group. Of course, that gives the jihadis a de facto veto over Canadian foreign policy, effectively holding her population hostage. And the more Muslims Canada accepts, the more of a hostage she becomes, aye?

      Jews in Canada are starting to feel the effects of being outnumbered now THREE to one. The Libtards have betrayed Canadian Jews and Jews are starting to wake up to that reality. The Libtards are now saying ‘anti-Islamophobia AND anti-Semitism.’ But I think it is too late. Canadian Jewry should never trust the Libtards again.

    Impeach Prime Minister Justin Trudeau now.

    I estimate the likely year to be 2017 or 2018. It will be a miracle if it takes as long as 2019.

    Canada’s lax immigration policies have been of some concern to the United States for decades. The prime example of this is contained in U.S. export regulations. The U.S. classes countries for exports into 4 groups: A) Export goods with no restrictions, B) Export goods after formally notifying Washington of what will be exported, and when, C) Exports subject to strict control and case-by-case approval, and finally D) No exports allowed under any circumstances. Canada is on the B list.

    Ah Mssr Trudeau if u think it’s hard now to keep your Agenda moving wait until one of the savages kills on a mass level. We all know already the byline He was mentally ill, disenfranchised from poor immigrants couldn’t get a good education or job, made fun of or stigmatized for being Muslim, did not understand the true teachings of Islam, was radicalized on the Internet but acted alone not toFear & lastly Islamaphobia had a part in it along with those WebSites that should be banned. ( this will be their opportunity to try to shut us down) They’ll probably want more School time for Islamic study and other accomadations. Do you the Canadians will fall for it just like the Brits or fight back. I vote the latter. They’re more like us and are not going believe pretty boy Trudeau. By the if the Security Services admit to an unclassified 100 Jihadists running around around inn the Country multiply the 100 by 10 or 20.

    “Never forget that politicians are choosing dead civilians over saying and doing what’s necessary to stop Islam’s jihadists. Never forget.”

    Indeed.
