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

Canada: explosives, chemicals found in home of Iranians near Toronto, neighborhood evacuated

May 15, 2019 7:48 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Police north of Toronto have charged a father and son after officers found explosive materials and a detonator device at a home in Richmond Hill, Ont..Reza Mohammadiasl, 47, and his son Mahyar, 18, were arrested….and charged with one count each of possession of an explosive device following a search of their home.” Chemicals were also seized and the neighborhood was evacuated.

“The family told neighbors they were originally from Iran.” One neighbor reported: “This is shocking…..They have lived there for six years and they have always been very nice people.”

Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale  rushed to say that “the arrests and charges are a local matter that concerns York police and there is no known connection to national security.”  It isn’t the first time that Goodale has been dismissive about public safety in his mandate of public safety.

Global News pointed out at the end of November in 2017 in reaction to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wanting to reintegrate Islamic State jihadists into Canadian society: “Common sense forces us to ask why. Who the hell wants this kind of crud to be among us?”  Then under intense questioning by the opposition Conservatives about a Canadian Islamic State jihadist, Goodale “refused to provide details on the status” of the IS fighter “who made an apparent confession to an execution-style killing in Syria”. Goodale undermined the threat by saying “police and security officials are taking all necessary steps to “keep Canadians safe,” but he did not indicate what steps would be taken and how effective they might be.

A Conservative Government report showed in 2014 that  130 Canadian citizens had “gone abroad to join terrorist groups, including 30 believed to be fighting in Syria. In Calgary, five of those young men are linked to one downtown apartment building, which has a mosque on its ground floor.”

Jihadists are roaming among Canadians while the Liberal government downplays it. Last year, leaked intelligence documents from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) showed a greater threat of Islamic terror than the government admits to the public that it should be protecting. A former Yazidi sex slave in Canada experienced the trauma of seeing her Islamic State captor and rapist in Canada. In fact, CSIS has indicated that “Extremists returning to Canada have the potential to pose a significant threat to our national security.”

In returning to the case of explosive materials and chemicals found inside the Richmond Hill home: neighbors were understandably left horrified and shocked as all Canadians should be.  Although nothing is confirmed about motive of the Iranian pair–Reza Mohammadiasl and his son Mahyar–in this case, the underlying threat to public safety is obvious. All the while, the Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale will not acknowledge nor confront the threat.

“Father, son charged after explosive materials found inside home in Richmond Hill, Ont.”, CBC News, May 14, 2019:

Police north of Toronto have charged a father and son after officers found explosive materials and a detonator device at a home in Richmond Hill, Ont.

Reza Mohammadiasl, 47, and his son Mahyar, 18, were arrested on Monday and charged with one count each of possession of an explosive device following a search of their home, located about 40 km north of Toronto.

Both men were scheduled to appear in Newmarket court today.

Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said the arrests and charges are a local matter that concerns York police and there is no known connection to national security.

“There is no known connection to any issue related to national security,” he said in Ottawa. “It is a local policing matter. Obviously they’ve made arrests, they’ve laid charges, and it’s up to them to comment further.”

Border agents tipped off police

York Regional Police said the investigation began last Thursday when they received information about a person being investigated by the United States Customs and Border Protection and the Canada Border Services Agency.

On Friday, police executed a search warrant at a home on Larratt Lane, near Bathurst Street and Elgin Mills Road West, and discovered explosive materials. Police did not specify what exactly the materials were or how much was removed. They said chemicals were also seized.

Ontario Provincial Police, along with the York police’s explosives detection unit, helped to removed the materials.

As a precaution, police practically shut down the street on Friday, forcing neighbours from their homes and restricting vehicle and pedestrian traffic as officers carried out their work. Neighbours have since been allowed back into their homes, police said.

Despite, evacuation orders being lifted and the suburban street returning to normal, residents say they have been left feeling uneasy.

Jill Garazi, who has lived on Larratt Lane for 16 years, said the experience was “very stressful and traumatic.”….

…..’It’s a very serious case for sure’
Const. Andy Pattenden, spokesperson for the York Regional Police, said officers are investigating how the materials got into the home, why they were there and what the accused planned to do with them.

“We don’t often see things like this. It’s a very serious case for sure. The charge, possession of explosives, is a very serious charge,” Pattenden said.

“Thankfully, nobody was injured in this particular case. But there’s lots more to this investigation. That’s why we really need some tips and help from the public as to how these materials got there, why they were there and what these two people were up to.” ….FULL STORY

    Every jihadi attack comes from the same sources. With violent jihad, the goal is to terrorize civilizations enough to succumb to Islam. Therefore, EVERY jihad-related act should be considered a national threat by the politicians and law enforcement of a free country.

    The Left continues to downplay Islam.

    • Terry Gain says

      May 15, 2019 at 9:17 am

      The Left has submitted to Islam.

        Not all of us, Terry! There are a few of us Lefties who see Islam for what it is.

        But, on the whole, you are right. Most progressives & liberals are too politically correct to reject Groupthink, do some honest research on the subject of Islam, and come to their own conclusions. It is extremely frustrating, to say the least — especially for us leftwing counter-jihadis.

        Best Trudeau line of the day!

        “This is shocking…..They have lived there for six years and they have always been very nice people.” The jihadist psychos strike again. (“But they were so NICE! Such good neighbors! It must be our fault somehow! Islamophobia! They must have been afraid of backlash! Look What We Made Them Doooo!”)

          If you wouldn’t ( fill in the blank) I wouldn’t have to punish you and everything would be wonderful!”…..

    I’ve lived in Canada all my life and before diversity was considered “our strength”, no one stockpiled explosives in their homes.

    Here’s another little gem of some migrant coming to Canada just specifically to kill Asia Bibi, (and to die in the way of Allah, of course).

    https://tnc.news/2019/05/15/islamist-extremist-says-he-arrived-in-canada-to-kill-asia-bibi/

    Agree with Terry. The Left is IN BED with the JIHADISTS. Most journalists are Leftists who give Islam a free pass.

    Most jihad is peaceful … extortion, bribery, political manipulation … but ALL jihad is deceitful.

    It is the same in India . Most rotten politicians & leftist media shield them.

    All those jihadists of SriLanka originated from India. After deportation they are back in India plotting to unleash similar attacks.

    Meanwhile, in the past few months it is all the same potentially dangerous Iranians who are entering Britain illegally by small boat across the English Channel. Why? It seems that for some reason Serbia began offering Iranians visa-free travel and Iranair started flights to Belgrade. It took months for anyone to notice that flights were arriving full and leaving empty: these “poor” migrants were apparently staying in hotels then paying people smugglers to take them across increasingly anti-immigration Europe (think Italy, Hungary, Austria etc) and then across the Channel to Muslim-friendly, welfare-generous Britain.

    Leaving the EU will not change Britain being the destination of choice for “migrants” – they and the people smugglers will find a way in as they are currently doing on the Kent coast.

    • gravenimage says

      May 15, 2019 at 8:18 pm

      Here’s more on that story, Mike:

      “Serbia Ends Visa-Free Travel For Iranians, Citing ‘Abuses’ By Some”

      https://www.rferl.org/a/serbia-abolishes-visa-free-travel-iranians-citing-abuses-by-some-migrants-to-eu-/29539329.html

      That Serbia of all places would not have known better is inexplicable.

      • Dano says

        May 16, 2019 at 3:20 am

        There is huge money in the people smuggling business. The Mafia was responsible for getting many illegals into Italy.

    May 15, 2019 at 11:25 am

    Not a national security threat! Not until the device(s) they had is detonated in a public square, the airport or the subway. The ignorance displayed by Goodale is nothing short of astonishing. It should be held up as an example of the gold standard for Official stupidity.

  8. Anjuli Pandavar says

    May 15, 2019 at 11:43 am

    “the arrests and charges are a local matter that concerns York police and there is no known connection to national security.”

    There have been 43 jihad terrorist attacks so far this month, thankfully, none of them in York.

    HOT TIP FOR YORK POLICE: if you take each of the terrorists involved in each of the 43 attacks so far this month, and triangulate their direction of prayer, you will find that all of them, together with those of Mohammadiasl and son, converge on 21°25′21.0″N 39°49′34.2″E. It is possible there might be something in that.

    • Savvy Kafir says

      May 16, 2019 at 12:29 pm

      Good tip, Anjuli! I think you might be on to something there.

      If only our “leaders” were open to such ideas.

  9. unbeliever1 says

    May 15, 2019 at 12:26 pm

    Goodale was probably disappointed that those arrested weren’t “the biggest threat to world security. Those ‘White supremacists’. He seemed to have downplayed this incident on hearing the names of the two accused.

    Who were the Iranians planning to blow up?
    Other Iranians? (There is a mini civil war going on in Iran.)
    Canadians?
    Iraqis or Saudi Arabians? (The two main parts of Islam fighting again.)

  12. Keys says

    May 15, 2019 at 2:32 pm

    Have we not heard many times from muslim leaders (and other muslims), especially Iranian, that their agents are in place in Europe and the USA just waiting for a secret signal to unleash hell upon us ?

  13. Walter Sieruk says

    May 15, 2019 at 4:02 pm

    This Muslim father and son ,from Iran , who now live in Toronto Canada who had been discovered with,and in the making of deadly chemicals even with a detonator explosive device were no doubt scheming a vicious and mass murder jihad attack.

    Such malicious plotting to harm and murder people by an Islamic terror attack is a carry over and reflection the first and supreme Ayatollah Khomeini , who was the very head this current Islamic regime of Iran knew the violence and killing was part of the essence of hard core ,non-watered down Islam. .For he declared “Islam grew with blood….Islam is a religion of blood for the infidels” He also said “Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war….I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” [1]

    So, in other words Ayatollah Khomenei felt nothing but arrogant contempt for those people who say that his religion “Is a peaceful religion” and understand that they in ignorant and uninformed.

    Therefore the West needs to wake up to the reality of the truth about the actual violent essence of this religion.

    In the Canadian government, it’s a trickle-down affair. The stupidity starts at the top and Goodale is right there to receive it.

  16. Tom says

    May 16, 2019 at 6:09 pm

    “They have always been very nice people” It just goes to show that dangerous people with an agenda, which appears to be to blow things or people up, are living amongst us and we never know until they are caught or actually commit some heinous act.

    In this case it appears that the mask of “niceness” of these two potential Jihadi’s, along with their collection of explosives and detonators could have been an imminent threat to the safety of those same neighbours and their children.

    Perhaps this was a plot to destroy the neighbouring homes along with their residents, or perhaps it could have been more nefarious and a definite threat to other Canadians. In any event it should be treated as a threat to our national safety and Ralph Good for nothing fired.
