Canada: Muslim charged with terror offenses says ISIS videos on his phone loaded automatically as he was surfing net

Dec 9, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“War is deceit,” said Muhammad (Bukhari 4.52.268), but some are better at it than others.

“Canadian arrested in Turkey this summer charged with terror offences,” by Katie Nicholson and Jason Ho, CBC News, December 6, 2019:

A Canadian man detained in Turkey this past summer and accused of having ISIS propaganda on his phone was charged by RCMP Friday with terror-related offences.

Ikar Mao, 22, of Guelph, Ont., faces one count of participation in activity of a terrorist group and one count of leaving Canada to participate in activity of a terrorist group….

Mao was accused of being part of the militant group ISIS.

Turkish authorities arrested Mao and his wife near the Syrian border this past summer.

The newlywed couple were held for three months before being released and returning to Canada in October. It’s unclear whether or not Turkish authorities charged Mao, and whether he was acquitted or had charges dropped.

As CBC News first reported late Thursday, a Turkish court heard allegations that the phone belonging to Mao had received ISIS videos via Telegram, an encrypted messaging app, and that the couple left a letter for their families saying they intended to join ISIS.

The videos depict ISIS soldiers with guns espousing the militant group’s propaganda, the court heard.

Records viewed by CBC News said Mao and his wife denied that they had left their families to join ISIS and told the court they just wanted to live in a Muslim country.

Mao said he hadn’t intentionally sought out the ISIS videos but that they had loaded automatically while he was surfing the internet….

The case is under a publication ban requested by Mao’s lawyer, Soumia Allalou. It’s not clear what evidence Canadian authorities are relying on….

      Loaded while surfing?? Taqiyya. Another in the very long list of Muslim lies. It is their culture.

    In all fairness, it’s very nature that this Muslim man would admire and support ISIS.

    This is because the jihadists of ISIS, bases all their beliefs and violet behavior entirely on the Quran. This does lead to an important question: “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?” The jihadists ,as those of ISIS, use many verses from the Quran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. As found in For example, 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4.

    On pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.”

    Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.”

    In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.

    This poor man obviously didn’t download isis video’s, it happened automatically when he was searching the internet for goat porn or maybe looking for an older second wife, someone in the 10-13 year old range.

      I’ve gotta stop drinking while reading Jihad watch. These Muslim created laughing fits, with coffee snorts into your nose, are getting painful.

      “Mao said he hadn’t intentionally sought out the ISIS videos but that they had loaded automatically while he was surfing the internet….” A smart person would never make up such a ridiculously false statement. What’s next? Claiming to be the author of the, “Little Red Book”?

        Search “world map average IQ”.
        Search “world map marry first cousins” – it is actually 1st cousins or closer.
        Search “world map muslims”
        I didn’t make any of it up!
        And note the 2 smartest nations don’t have a jihadi problem.

        I found the couple’s answers VERY SMART—–they might be convicted
        by an erdogan qadi based on Ottoman hatred of arabs—–but any real
        arab qadi in Canada will be delighted

        Yeah I hate that when my cell phone goes off on its own and starts surfing
        Try drinking soda while reading jihad watch that really stings

    Then why are they allowed to go to Canada

    • Wellington says

      Dec 9, 2019 at 6:36 pm

      Because keya eventually all of the world, yes ALL of the WORLD, per Muslimthink, belongs to Islam.

    Gee, I surf the Internet regularly but I have never gotten an ISIS video.

    Hmmm. Well, is it possible this guy is not telling the truth?

    Ah, tell me it ain’t so since, as we all know, Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance and thus this guy must be innocent—only a rank Islamophobe would, could, aver otherwise.
