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

Toronto jihad terror leader is in prison, but was still on social media

Sep 13, 2018 7:30 pm By Robert Spencer

Facebook was too busy blocking and shadowbanning foes of jihad terror to pay any attention to this.

“Toronto terrorist leader is locked up, but was still on social media,” by Stewart Bell, Global News, September 13, 2018:

The former terrorist leader Zakaria Amara is locked away at Millhaven maximum-security prison, serving a life sentence for plotting Al Qaeda-inspired truck bombings in downtown Toronto.

But for the past six months, a Facebook page in his name has been posting his prison photos as well as what purported to be his jailhouse prose, including a telling of what made him a terrorist.

Facebook deleted the account on Wednesday, an hour after Global News asked about it. The social media company said the Amara page was taken down “for violating our community standards.”

“We don’t allow mass murderers to maintain a presence on Facebook,” the company said, adding it also did not let impersonators maintain accounts.

Amara was the ringleader of the Toronto 18, the terror group that held a training camp for potential recruits in Washago, Ont., and then began preparing a series of truck bombings inspired by Al Qaeda.

The group had selected the Toronto Stock Exchange, Toronto CSIS building and a Canadian military base as targets but was infiltrated by CSIS and the RCMP, which arrested the extremists in June 2006.

The Amara Facebook account appears to be have been operated from Mississauga, Ont. A message requesting confirmation that the page was actually Amara’s garnered the response, “this is a real account.”

Asked how a convicted terrorist leader could post his views and photos on Facebook, the Correctional Service of Canada said inmates did not have access to the internet.

“It does happen on occasion that individuals post on behalf of inmates,” said Esther Mailhot, a CSC spokesperson. “CSC does not have control over these postings.”

She also said that while inmates were not allowed to have cameras, they could purchase pictures taken by a photographer. “Inmates are able to send photos out of the institution to family or other contacts in the community.”

According to the telling on the Facebook page, Amara “never felt Canadian” because he wasn’t white and got “caught up in a perfect storm of internal and external influences.”

“Many of you have probably wondered why the Muslim world has produced so any radicalized individuals,” it said. “When I look at what the people of that region have been going through for over 100 years, I am actually surprised there aren’t more radicals,” it said.

“What happens to a people who have to live under the deadly shadow of drones? What happens to a person who witnesses their entire family get wiped out by a ‘precise’ missile strike?”…

      There is video released by Burnaby police showing Marrisa holding a door open for some man. What are the odds that he is the one who murdered her? It would fit in with the above showing Trudeau hiring more PR staff to deal with the tsunami of ”refugees” crossing the border instead of hiring immigrant evaluators and airline pilots.

    Prime Minister Stephen Harper revoked his citizenship and after he served his prison term was to be deported. Traitor Trudeau ” reinstated Canadian citizenship” for this maniac after he was elected. How many more reasons do Canadian need to wake up to this disease named Justin Trudeau!

    His life sentence will amount to about 7 years, is my bet. In Canada, a life sentence is just that part of your life, be it 3 years or 15 years, that you are living in a country club prison for elite terror brats.

    A life sentence for mass-murder or terrorist offenses should mean ‘for life’ and without parole.

    And prison shouldn’t be a vacation for these terrorists.

    islamic terrorists and their leftie apologists need to be starved of the oxygen of publicity.since jihadists want to be martyred for their god “allah”,they should be monitored to prevent any islamic propaganda from being promoted.

    Once upon at time,a life sentence meant ‘for life’:the sentence reflected the serious nature of the crime.

    You have to give terrorists “serious time for serious crime”.

      Trudeau introduced bill C-75 changes to our criminal code. One provision in this bill turns an indictable conviction, jail (leaving Canada to join a terrorist group) into a summary conviction, no jail just a fine. The present legislation section 83.201 has never been enforced otherwise the 60+ ISIS jihadis that have returned to Canada and are now walking the streets or attending university would have been charged. This bill is a get out of jail card for wanna be terrorists.

    No the jihad terror leader is not in prison, he’s still running around in parliament.

    Re: “for the past six months, a Facebook page in his name has been posting” … “a telling of what made him a terrorist.”

    I know what made him a terrorist: The Qur’an!

    How and why (some who aren’t frequent JW viewers might ask)?

    It’s quite simple, really!

    The Qur’an clearly and very specifically tells muslims the Bible is wrong and also that all Christians and Jews are infidel criminals who worship a false god, and who must therefore be extorted, enslaved, and murdered for their “crime” of not being muslims:

    Sura (Chapter) 47:1-4 of the Qur’an:

    1: non-muslims are bad, (allegedly because they insult allah by dividing his nature*);
    2: muslims are good, (allegedly because to them allah is the cause of everything*);
    3: Allah made them both like that;
    4: So muslims should chop off the non-muslims’ heads.
    (“Allah could have done it himself, but he wants you muslims to do it for him”).
    …

    It’s all right there, in context: islamic violence is entirely general doctrine-driven, and not at all specific grievance-driven.

    (And chapter 47 isn’t by any stretch even remotely the worst, most violent chapter; that honor goes to either chapter 8 or 9; 9:29 demands all non-muslims be fought, extorted, and enslaved because they don’t believe in Muhammad’s ‘allah’).

    That is, the Qur’an demands muslims wage offensive war – not in self-defense – but because of others’ “disbelief!”

    So don’t go looking for what actions of yours may have offended or provoked them; they have been taught from birth that your existence alone offends their god, and so should offend them.
