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

Canada: Islamic State jihadist caught, but police “struggle” to lay charges

Oct 9, 2018 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A high-profile Canadian member of the so-called Islamic State has been caught while attempting to return to Canada…he is being held by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces.

Muhammad Ali, formerly Abu Turaab Al-Kanadi, served as a sniper and “used social media to encourage others to join ISIS and conduct terrorist attacks.”

But how will Canada process him? As a war criminal, as it should?

There is no guarantee Ali would face arrest upon his return.

News emerging about Muhammad is unnerving: Abdulkarim Omar, co-chair of Foreign Affairs for the Democratic Self-Administration of North Syria, says that 10 Canadians are being held in Syria, but there has been no ongoing cooperation from the Canadian government:

Omar said Kurdish officials met months ago with Canadian diplomats in northern Iraq…there was some good steps…and then suddenly the Canadian government stopped this process and we don’t know why.

Canadians should be outraged and demanding answers from a Prime Minister who thinks it is “Islamophobic” to ask questions about public safety. Canada is governed by a leader who has welcomed anyone and everyone. Trudeau has declared that Islamic State jihadis could be a “powerful voice” for Canada. He also paid Canada’s al Qaeda poster boy Omar Khadr 10.5 million dollars and an unwarranted apology for supposedly being roughed up in Guantanamo, despite the fact that Khadr murdered one America soldier and blinded another.

Right after the Liberal government won the 2015 election, it scrapped legislation of the former Conservative government that would have stripped citizenship from “convicted terrorists who also have citizenship in another country. If you commit high treason or acts of war against Canada, the thinking goes, you’ve forfeited your right to be Canadian.” The scrapping of this law
“restored citizenship to the ringleader of the al-Qaida-inspired Toronto 18 terrorist cell — a group of men who worked towards a plot to bomb the Toronto Stock Exchange, shoot up the CBC headquarters and storm Parliament Hill in Ottawa. They wanted to behead then-prime minister Stephen Harper.” According to Justin Trudeau, it does not matter if you are a law-abiding, peaceful Canadian, because in his view “a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian,” even if one wants to commit mass murder against the public. That would include Muhammad Ali, who carries the same dangerous mindset as other Islamic State jihadists. Ali has spoken about:

playing soccer with severed heads, wrote that homosexuals “should be killed” and posted ISIS’s incitement lines, such as: “Kill the disbeliever whether he is civilian of military.” Following the deadly October 2014 terror attacks that killed Canadian soldiers in Quebec and Ottawa, he wrote, “First Ottawa, then Quebec. Strike them, just as they strike your brothers and sisters.”

“Exclusive: Canadian member of Islamic State caught, but RCMP struggle to lay charges against ISIS fighters”, by Stewart Bell, Global News, October 8, 2018:

In an exclusive Global News series, Stewart Bell reports from Iraq and Syria on the aftermath of the war against the so-called Islamic State. In Part 1, Global looks at Canadian ISIS members who are being held by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces and the challenges Justin Trudeau’s government faces with Canadian members of the terror group.

A high-profile Canadian member of the so-called Islamic State has been caught while attempting to return to Canada, Global News has confirmed.

Muhammad Ali, 28, who left Toronto in 2014 to join ISIS, was captured by Kurdish forces as he tried to flee from Syria to Turkey.

Global News interviewed Ali at a makeshift prison where he is being held by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF, the military alliance that controls northeast Syria.

The former Ryerson University student, who went by Abu Turaab Al-Kanadi, was taken into custody four months ago in Ras al-Ayn, on the Turkish border.

At the time, he was with his Canadian wife, former Vancouver resident Rida Jabbar, and their two children, both born in Syria.

His family is being detained at a camp not far from the prison where Kurdish, American and British officials have been interrogating Ali.

His capture is significant because, aside from serving as a sniper, Ali used social media to encourage others to join ISIS and conduct terrorist attacks.

Ali’s case has placed the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a difficult position. Kurdish officials want to hand Ali and a dozen other Canadians over to Ottawa.

However, with the RCMP struggling to bring charges against Canadians who have taken part in overseas terror groups, there is no guarantee Ali would face arrest upon his return.

Kurdish authorities said they were holding almost 900 foreign ISIS fighters, as well as 500 wives and more than 1,000 children, and want governments to take back those that are their citizens.

Abdulkarim Omar, co-chair of Foreign Affairs for the Democratic Self-Administration of North Syria told Global News in an interview in Qamlishi, a city in northern Syria that 10 Canadians are currently being held……

    “…with the RCMP struggling to bring charges against Canadians who have taken part in overseas terror groups, there is no guarantee Ali would face arrest upon his return.”

    I suggest charges of high treason and mass murder with torture for starters. But hey, I’m no lawyer. Turn David Horowitz loose on him. Or just hang him for making war and being captured out of uniform.

    Thank Goodness Nigel Farage is no longer leader of UKIP.
    Farage told activists that the party was right to oppose Islamic extremism “but if dealing with Islamic fundamentalism becomes a battle between us and the entire religion, I’ll tell you the result: we’ll lose. We will simply lose.”

    Adding: “We absolutely have to get that Muslim majority living in many of our towns and cities on our side, more attuned to Western values than some pretty hardline interpretations of the Qur’an.”

    Pressed for his opinion on the building of larger mosques in general, the Ukip leader, Nigel Farage, added: “I personally don’t necessarily think it’s a great idea. I would rather see more smaller and proportionate mosques would be my own personal feeling.”

      Dominik Tarczynski, is an absolutely brilliant Polish MP for the Law and Justice Party, which is currently the country’s ruling party. He recently had this to say about mosques in Poland:

      “No Saudi mosques in Europe until Poland can build a cathedral in Saudi Arabia”.

      I like his approach better than Nigel’s.

      No. I am not renouncing my heritage because of an idiot like Trudeau and the morons who voted for him. It wasn’t that long ago when Americans twice elected Obama and The Harridan got more votes than The Patriot.

        You’re a true patriot, Terry. As for me, I’d go to the ends of the earth to get away from Trudeau and his socialist insanity.

    What is their to struggle about, Sec. 83.201
    Everyone who leaves or attempts to leave Canada, or goes or attempts to go on a conveyance with the intent to leave Canada, for the purpose of committing an act or omission outside Canada that, if committed in Canada, would be an indictable offence under this or any other act of parliament for the benefit of, at the direction of or in association with a terrorist group is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than 14 years.

      The law is there but also the liberal government is there. Between our Public Safety Minister Goodale, PM Trudeau, and Defense Minister Sajjan, Canada as of Nov 2017 only two returnees have been charged with leaving Canada to participate in terrorism,.

      According to government estimates more than 200 Canadian “terrorist travellers” have faced no legal consequences in Canada. So the odds are……..

      October 2019 can’t come soon enough.

    Yes hello, I just talked too my buddy Justin Trudeau, Muslim/Canadian leader, and he told me that he was going to recommend that the Turkish government do the right thing and BE-HEAD these traitors of Canada and feel free to do whatever you feel fit for their remaining family members, we have enough leaches to contend with here in Canada! Many thanks for handling this Butcher Bob!!!

  10. Butcher Bob says

    Oct 9, 2018 at 3:32 pm

    Yes Trudeau, you can thank the previous government Harper for those numbers of 60 ISIS fighters here in Canada and if it wasn’t for your government we would not be housing them and inviting their families over for the free handouts your government are responsible for, with the tax payers flipping the bill. You IDIOT Trudeau, stick with the drama teaching, because that’s all your good for!!! WTF Canada wake up?

    “Analysts still trying to figure out what radicalizes us,” a post on his Twitter account read. “Read the Quran … and look at the dire situation in Muslim Lands.”

    This quote says a lot and should be passed onto the Prime-minister of Malaysia who claims that, “Islam does not agree to killing.”

  12. Logic&Reason says

    Oct 9, 2018 at 3:56 pm

    Surprised this hasn’t been a topic on JW, yet. Laura Loomer and Faith Goldy tried to attend “Carry the Light”– a Muslim event in Toronto that was advertised as “open to the public”. Guest speakers: 1993 World Trade Centre bombing co-conspirator, Imam Siraj Wahhaj; and Linda Sarsour.

    Who’s escorted out? Of course, the hate-mongers and Islamophobes! You can’t make this stuff up.

    This is what happens when you elect a sock boy for a leader.
    The term leader in this case is name only as his position
    He is certainly not a leader in actual fact.

    Of COURSE Canada won’t help! Fairy princess Justine Trudeau is having a manicure, pedicure and new eyelashes applied. She’s too busy to protectand serve!!!

    Oct 10, 2018 at 11:04 am

    Justine wants to keep MP Iqra Khalid happy, the MP from Pakistan who introduced M-103, and MP Omar Alghabra, the man who tried to introduce Shari’ah law and failed, the man who said “This is a win for Islam” when elected, MP Ahmed Hussen, from Somalia, who calls Canadians” unCanadian, racists, fearmongering, Islamophobic”, MP, for the Status of Women (ha ha ha ha ha) Maryam Monsef, the MP who does not seem to know if she is from Afghanistan or Iran, who says “Shari’ah law fascinates her.”, MP Arif Virani, and what about CAIR/the Muslim Brotherhood–Geeez it is hard somedays for Justine to keep talking with a straight face.

    “Don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you got, till it’s gone”

    2019-How much destruction can one man do in one year–God help us all.

    Read about the Ottoman Empire and the history of Islam then you will have NO lack of understanding. Learn what they’ve done as they slaughtered so much of Europe. Why do you think Eastern Europe has a wall?

    Read the Qur’an and learn Islam has a mandate to take over the world. Your nation is under attack. What would you do with any other nation who tried to take over.

    Islam will not live with any other form of government, it has it’s own. It is not a ‘religion’ Mosques whether big or small makes no difference. MAN UP OR LOSE YOUR NATION. YOU HAVE NO CHOICE!
