Canada: Two Muslim former University of Manitoba students wanted for jihad terror activities

Feb 4, 2018 1:53 pm By Robert Spencer

One of these jihadis, Ferid Imam, was “considered to be a well liked and respected member of the community and had no involvement in criminal activity prior to leaving Canada.”

Yes, every last Muslim in every Western nation is assumed to be “moderate” until he or she is proven to be otherwise. Did the University of Manitoba make any attempt to determine whether or not Ferid Imam and Maiwand Yar had jihadist sympathies? Of course not. That would have been “Islamophobic.”

“Former University of Manitoba Students Wanted for Terrorist Activities,” by David Marshal, Manitoba Post, February 1, 2018 (thanks to Guy):

WINNIPEG, MB – The RCMP, working in conjunction with Interpol, are looking for these two men, both of whom are wanted on warrants for participation in terrorist activities.

The two men wanted by RCMP were both students at the University of Manitoba. They are wanted on Canada wide warrants for terrorist activities.

The first is, Ferid Ahmed Imam who was studying Biochemistry at the University of Manitoba. He was considered to be a well liked and respected member of the community and had no involvement in criminal activity prior to leaving Canada. In March 2007, Imam departed Canada for Pakistan where he became involved as a weapons instructor at a terrorist training camp aligned with Al Qaida. According to RCMP interviews, Imam was positively identified as an Al Qaida weapons instructor using the alias “Yousef”. An RCMP witness interview showed that Imam’s objective in joining a terrorist organization and obtaining weapons training was to fight and kill NATO soldiers in Afghanistan. He was last seen in the town of Miran Shah, Pakistan.

The next is, Maiwand Yar who was studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manitoba. In 2007, it is believed that Yar departed Canada with accomplice Ferid Ahmed Imam for Pakistan. According to witnesses, Yar advised that he and Imam were going to ally themselves with the Taliban and attend a terrorist training camp in order to receive instruction on firearms, explosives and guerilla warfare. Their specific objective for joining the Taliban was to fight and kill NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) soldiers in Afghanistan. In a letter sent in 2009, Yar stated that he had in fact spent time in both the Taliban and Al Qaida.

RCMP are telling people not to take any action to apprehend either of these wanted individuals. Report any information you may have to your nearest RCMP detachment, police in your area or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

    Something seems to be missing here. When did they return from their little excursion abroad? They left 10 years ago, and only now something is being done? Wow, Dudley, you are really on top of things! How is Nell these days?

          Outstanding Video Andy… We Hindu Indians have suffered the most from these Islamic beasts and I’m glad that this video brings out this fact

    So these two are just misunderstood university students, not some of the poor returning ISIS fighters thatTrudeau is welcoming back and giving art and music therapy to.

    Perhaps, just like the Saudi’s involved in 9/11 who took flying lessons but said they didn’t need to learn how to land a plane, these “chemistry” students should have been vetted to see if they had any radical leanings.

    Not saying all university students who happen to be muslim are an imminent threat, but given that the vast majority of terrorist attacks are known to be perpetrated by muslims, maybe, just maybe those taking courses that are more prone to be used in terrorism should be questioned as to their political ideologies.

    But then, according to Trudeau and his left wing progressive followers that would be bigoted and perhaps even the “I” word.

    ………………………

    I guess they must have been some of those poor Muslims who only turn to Jihad because they are poor and ignorant and have never had any opportunities…sarc/off

      Correct, and it is us Canadians responsibility as The Conscience Of The World ™ to ensure they receive financial justice just so soon as we can find them, fly them back to our not-a-nation, and roll the red carpet out in front of their sponsored 5 Star accommodations.

      allah bless Canada and our brave revolutionary Fedribles.

        Run and elect people who have some common sense. Throw these enemies of your country out of office and then have them throw out the Muslims. Whose country is it anyway?

          Sally

          We Canadians who have been awake to the political treachery of Trudeau, his Liberals and ALL of the left leaning governments in Canada, both federal and provincial, have been trying to educate those who vote only for a pretty face or for someone slick like Trudeau. But given that our educational system is very left leaning, our children are indoctrinated and those now of voting age brainwashed into voting for style over substance.

          The saying I paraphrase here “If you’re not a socialist at 20 you haven’t a heart, if you’re not a conservative at 40 you haven’t a brain” seems to fit the average Canadian voter. Unfortunately many of those over 40 seem to have forgotten their brain when they go to vote, and still think they are 20.

        Why do these juhadis so closely resemble neanderthals physically? Inbreeding account for it? Are the heading to precivilization physicAlly as well as culturally?

    Oh wait if for got the Communist Broadcasting Corporation of Canada is in the bag for Trudolt’s M-103/We love Sharia Flaw program.

    Are they assumed to be back in canada?

    If so when did they return.

    Are they home grown or imports?

    Are their family members also in canada?

    Has the mosque they most likely attended been investigated?

    Yes I would like to know.

    And that’s the MAJOR issue. Who wants to live together with people of an ideology where EVER SINGLE ONE may be a ticking time bomb, just waiting to commit acts of terror and violence on a whim?

    ISLAMOPHOBIA is everywhere. Poor Muslims, poor Ibrahim, poor Iqra Khalid, she was elected by a group of Islamophobic Canadians as was the other ten Muslim, members of the Canadian parliament. What a bloody, rotten, hate filled, shithole country Canada really, really is. We are all bad people, full of hate, what the hell is wrong with having 4 wives, beating women, having sex with children, marrying a baby, thighing, throwing gay people off a roof, owning a dog, women covering up so men do not get excited. Geez, the government SHOULD AND WILL quell, all this hate speech by all the Islamophobics. What a damn, filthy, Prime Minister we have, a traitor, he makes me sick just looking at him, and yes I do hate him and all that he and Iqra Khalid, Ahmed Hussen, so called immigration minister, Joly, for aiding them, Maryam Monset, Omar Alghabra, all the Shari’ah lovers, have done to this once, great country. I am still allowed to say what I think, maybe.

      I really feel Ur pain… It pains me too to see how Canada is being thrown to the wolves of Jehaad. If it can pain a non-Canadian like me … I can understand Ur anguish, God alone save Ur land…

    ; John Wayne Gacy, also, was well respected in his communities.
    The difference is Gacy, and we’re very lucky on this one, didn’t use the worn-out excuse of freedom of religious expression, threats of incarceration, loss of business/jobs, social standing, and hefty financial fines, on those who “offended” him, to get away with all his raping, and murdering of children.

    Hey … two young punks who leave Canada to training camps and take to trying to kill Canadians along with our Allies …. Seems to me they qualify for at least 10 million dollars each!!!
    I think the RCMP are actually like Ed McMahon of the Publisher’s Clearing House and want to find these characters to award them their money.

    Look at the MASSIVE IRONY of this folks: Trump says that he needs to build a wall along USA’s border with Mex and I fully agree… BUT he may be needing a wall along the Canadian border even sooner because of THE TURD’s suicidal immigration policies of bringing in more Muslims, who virtually have a FREE PASS into the USA across its open Canadian border…. What an irony of epic proportions!!!
