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

Canada: Muslim who went on shooting rampage and was deemed “mentally ill” had huge cache of weapons, 9/11 films

Jan 19, 2019 1:27 pm By Robert Spencer

Faisal Hussain’s family insisted that he was mentally ill right after his shooting rampage. Suggestions that he might be a jihad terrorist were waved away as “Islamophobic.” But it once again looks as if the truth was covered up; only now is evidence emerging that Hussain was a committed jihadist.

“Cache of ammunition, 9/11-conspiracy films seized from Danforth shooter’s home, documents reveal,” by Shanifa Nasser, CBC News, January 15, 2019:

Nearly six months after Toronto’s deadly Danforth Avenue shooting rampage, newly released details from court documents reveal a startling amount of ammunition was found in the apartment of gunman Faisal Hussain, along with a number of DVDs by the American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

In the hours after the shooting, which claimed the lives of 18-year-old Reese Fallon and 10-year-old Julianna Kozis, police entered Hussain’s highrise apartment in the city’s Thorncliffe Park neighbourhood.

According to details revealed Tuesday, a sniffer dog trained to detect explosives zeroed in on a bedroom, locating two AK-47 magazines, two 9 mm handguns — all fully loaded — other handgun and shotgun ammunition, and a white powdery substance.

Hussain, 29, died of a self-inflicted shot to the head after a gunfight with officers on the night of July 22, 2018, a police source previously told CBC News. Police found cocaine on his body and a cellphone, still ringing with a call from “home.”

The court documents — less heavily redacted versions of those released in the fall — don’t offer a clear picture of Hussain’s motive, but do show he had access to a large cache of ammunition when he left home for the Danforth neighbourhood, never to return.

9/11 conspiracy films among items seized

Also found in the bedroom were DVDs, mainly involving 9/11 conspiracy theories, including three by Jones, the founder of the far-right conspiratorial website Infowars. Those were The Road to Tyranny, Terror Storm and American Dictators.

“His anti-establishment conspiracies were picked up by extremists of all stripes,” said Amarnath Amarasingam, senior research fellow at the Institute of Strategic Dialogue.

The Jones films feed into the view that Western governments are “not to be trusted, that most of what we see is a sham, and that some mysterious powerful elite was secretly orchestrating, for their own benefit, most of the evils that we see in our societies,” Amarasingam said. “The 9/11 conspiracy theories are part and parcel of this kind of thinking.”

Other titles included Painful Deceptions, Iraq for Sale, Weapons of Mass Deception and one bearing the handwritten title “What is Islama.”

The documents also say investigators found two receipts for cash payments totalling $9,310 to a community housing facility in Rawalpindi, a district in the northern part of Pakistan’s Punjab province. Hussain’s father told investigators he had taken his son to Pakistan two to three years earlier to visit family.

While there, he said in the documents, “Faisal was happy on the trip and did not want to return because people left him alone there.”

Shooter had no real friends, family says

Hussain had no real friends, his twin brother told police. On the day of the shooting, Hussain arrived home around 2:30 p.m. He and his brother talked about Hussain “getting his life together, getting married and getting direction,” according to the documents.

During the conversation Hussain repeatedly referred to himself as “mentally retarded,” before going out to the balcony for a cigarette.

Hussain’s mother told police her son saw a psychiatrist, while his father told police he didn’t have any mental health issues. His brother said Hussain wanted to kill himself and had been on anti-depressants….

    9/11 porn for the Jihadi.

    That is obvious when anybody goes to a mosque..

    Well, a broken clock is correct twice a day.

      So they found a few conspiracy theory DVDs.So what?

      It’s not as if there was any awkward reference to Sahih Muslim # 6985:islam’s supremacist plan for a genocidal war against the Jews that muslims don’t want anyone to know about.

      The MSM and the Dhimmiwit Jews and Leftards would have a tough time trying to hide that and explain it away{the “islamophobia” trick won’t work:Sahih Muslim 6985 is an official islamic teaching}

      Sahih Muslim # 6985:Shhhhs!{It’s a BIG SECRET,an islamic supremacist SECRET}

      “There is a Jew behind thee..kill him”

      islamic supremacist ideology calls for the destruction of the Jews and the RED-GREEN-DHIMMI{Left-islamist-dhimmi Jews/Christians/politicians}certainly won’t want to deal with that.Or the sheeple to become aware of it.

      isis/hizbollah/hamas etc would definitely subscribe to such an evil teaching.

      Perhaps Tlaib,Sarsour and Omar should be asked to confirm and explain Sahih Muslim 6985 …it is a difficult one to deny..since it is an official islamic teaching.

      {At least the Danforth shooter didn’t have a framed picture of Justin Trudeau ..with a lipsticked kiss on it..Phew!..that would have been REALLY awkward…}

    Faisal Hussain, Pakistani, believed In Islam, visited Pakistan in past two or three years, family in Pakistan, sent nine thousand dollars to Pakistan, murdered two alleged unbelievers, and left three handguns behind. Have seen this before. Islam jihad terror.

    Alex jones is a \muslim? this is not evidence of jihadi activity, That evidence is very easy to find, even a couple of books on Islam would be better than some conspiracy Alex jones videos. This is evidence for jihadwatchers who are themselves convinced that a giant conspiracy is afoot to protect Islam.

      What a load of crap from Lebel. No one ever said that Alex Jones is Muslim.

      If an ordinary citizen had a lot of this material, they might be a “Truther”, or even someone who is Anti-Jihad.

      That a violent Muslim who went on a shooting spree was in possession of them is rather evidence of Jihad porn–I doubt he was listening to Jones’ argument, such as it is.

    ……………………

    Was this Jihadist too stupid to know that Alex Jones is actually a 9/11 “Truther”? Likely so, and he was just watching it as “9/11 porn*. *Ugh*.

      ‘Not all muslims’ are stupid! The followers are indoctrinated from an early age to follow orders without question. A typical military training method. Mind manipulation. Remember soldiers are trained to kill.

    I wonder if his older brother Faiasl who is in a coma in a hospital in Toronto had something to do with this?… naw. Just because he’s in a coma while living with a family friend who is charged with possession as 53 kg of carfential enough drugs to wipe out half of the population of North America and a few guns 33 doesn’t mean anything.

    If Muslims really want to emulate their prophet then they shouldn’t be killing themselves. Muhammad (PHLUB) let other people do the dying for him which is what all good Muslims should do. At El Habib’s Prophet Emulation School I learned a lot of important things which are not commonly known. Here are just a few insider tips that even Muslims themselves may not know:

    1. Store up weapons every chance you get. Apart from the obvious benefit of having too many guns it may also be helpful if one has to mount an insanity defense later on.

    2. Rob armored cash trucks, Fed Ex trucks and people in expensive cars (it’s the closest modern day match to robbing caravans). This is one of four sources of income allowable for Muslims.

    3. Force your non-Muslim neighbors to pay a special tax (2 of 4). If they refuse then kill them in one of the proscribed ways (stoning, hanging, crucifying, opposing appendage removal, thrown from a “high” place). Firearms and explosives were not available to Muhammad but all scholars agree that Muhammad (PH4.0) was a superior marksman.

    4. Don’t make the tax so high that everybody converts to Islam

    5. When you rob people as part of a gang make sure you have an agreement in place that gives you 20% of the cut.

    6. Females are a valuable commodity but, once purchased, can be raped on a regular basis.

    7. Convince your followers to give you 10% of their income (3 of 4).

    8. In Muhammad’s (PHLUB) absence first choice of captured females should be given to the oldest member of one’s tribe but pretend you’re in charge and cut ahead to the front of the line.

    9. Countries should be attacked on a regular basis with one goal in mind, unachievable total World domination.

    10. Praise Allah (PHLAB) if one lives in a country blessed with petroleum (4 of 4). Maintaining and processing this gooey black gift of the Creator (PB&J) is expensive and complicated. But the kaffir are greedy and one can continue to exploit their stupid education and work ethic for these menial tasks.

    11. Very important rule – Allah (BLUPH) has granted property rights for the entire World to Muslims. In order to regain those rights an average Muslim should kill at least 3 Kafs before they die

    12. Lie

    13. Set aside some extra disdain just for Jews. Totally believe that “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” is 100% factually correct. Never be ashamed to show to the World how uneducated you are because deep down inside you know that you are just emulating a perfect, illiterate man.

    14. Tell Christians you honor Jesus. If they’re Catholic tell them there is a whole chapter in the Quran just about Mary. If they ask questions then tell them to watch Zakir Naik videos.

    15. Expect much, contribute little. Make demands of others but never reciprocate.

    16. Whine.

    17, See enemies everywhere, even from among fellow Muslims.

    18. Practice your decapitation in Muslim lands. Elsewhere just buy a machete and take some meth. Meth is halal since the Nazis used it.

    19. If there is anything about Islam that is troubling you then check your ears in the morning for Satan pee, blow hard through your left nostril, face Mecca, place your right palm just below your rib cage, close your left eye, spit to the northwest, stand on your tip toes, bend over 120 degrees and recite the Quran backwards.

    20. Move to Northern Europe or the UK, make no attempt to work, go on the dole and spend all your days watching Youtube and porn. Feel and display resentment where a non-Muslim would likely show gratitude.
    Don’t make friends and get depressed. Your depression will be Allah’s (PHIDO) way of spurring you on to the best Jihad, mass murder. It’s so cool that all your sins are forgiven the moment the first kaffir falls.

    A couple of things I picked up on.
    !. They talk about a “large amount of ammo”? But didn’t elaborate a to how much! to an anti gunner this could mean as little as 60 rnds. (2x ak mags).
    2. Did anyone notice that he had been taking anti depressants? These things have a track record of screwing with peoples heads and making them VERY open to suggestion, paranoid etc.
    3. Did anyone interrogate his iman?
    My opinion, This guy was more than likely mentally ill, and he groomed to carry out the shootings.
    Happens quite a lot with these low IQ people. But the saddest part is that the Canadian government is so busy sucking up to the Musloids that the safety of it’s own people has become secondary.

        Jan 20, 2019 at 6:37 pm

        Several mass shootings by young white males involved the use of anti-depressants.

        • gravenimage says

          Jan 20, 2019 at 6:58 pm

          The implication that Jihad is caused by anti-depressants is, with all respect, absurd.

          Jihad predates the existence of such medications by over 1300 years.

          And his having 9/11 videos shows that his violence was not random.

    Anyone who follows Islam has a mental condition.They follow a ‘religion’ which commands them to kill as many non-muslims as possible. They either know this or they are ignorant of the Koran.

    Mental condition in followers of Islam: Islamania Seriosa

    Symptoms:
    Irrational thoughts.
    Moral decay.
    Fits of insanity, and Tourette’s Syndrome. (Example: shouts of Allahu Akbar!)
    Homicidal and suicidal thoughts and actions.
    In-breeding, resulting in genetic defects, both mental and physical.
    Lack of ambition and motivation.
    Mental tunnel vision.
    Criminal and psychopathic tendencies are enhanced.
    General lack of empathy.
    Inability to reason.
    Feelings of intense hatred.
    Feelings of superiority
    Propensity to lie.
    Aggressive attitude and hyper-sensitivity to criticism.
    Displays of extreme cruelty.
    Paranoia and feelings of distrust.
    Mental paralysis.
    Low IQ

    Please report any further symptoms.

    Muslims who attend madrassas learn from day 1 to seize and kill Jews andÙChristians and other such things. Now multiply that by 200 days and add days spent at a mosque. Now multiply that by 12 years. And then the MSM looks for mental illness at their attacks on non-Muslims! Get some mirrors for your offices, MSM.

    • Myrtle Upchuck says

      Jan 20, 2019 at 1:43 pm

      “….kill Jews andÙChristians and other such things.”
      Jews and Christians are “things”? That’s a unique approach! I thought that “infidel” was a nasty term. You have exceeded most Islamists. No longer will they be known as “rats and cockroaches”. Some Russian trolls need to get some English upgrading.

      • Dave says

        Jan 20, 2019 at 6:42 pm

        ‘Things’ refers to other activities.

      • gravenimage says

        Jan 20, 2019 at 8:56 pm

        What tripe from “Myrtle Upchuck”–what Giacomo Latta had to say was neither confusing nor grammatically incorrect.

        And note that she is enraged over someone (supposedly) referring to Jews and Christians as “things”, yet has *nothing* critical to say about Muslims gunning Infidels down in the streets.

    The linked article says “But while Hussain had no criminal record, as CBC News previously reported…”, but back in September, 2018, Global News Canada reported “Toronto Danforth shooter arrested and released two days before mass shooting: police docs”. The Global News Canada article also says “The newly-unsealed documents show that police wanted to search for materials “used to build an explosive device”…”

    Source: https://globalnews.ca/news/4449672/danforth-shooting-investigation-police-documents-released/

    Maybe that’s because in 2010, Toronto Police reportedly interviewed Hussain after he made threats to a local school. ‘According to the source, Hussain spoke about being “The Joker” from the Batman movie and talked about “liking death” and “explosions.”’
