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

Canada: Muslim who attacked 64-year-old woman with hammer and killed her now faces terror charge

Feb 26, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“A hammer attack that killed a 64-year-old woman in Toronto on Feb. 21 has been linked by police to terrorism, with the alleged murderer now facing a terrorism-related charge.”

The general tendency is for authorities to cover up acts of terror by Muslims for as long as possible; only when it is no longer possible to do so does there come an admission. But it didn’t take long for Toronto police to link a random, deadly hammer attack by 30-year-old Saad Akhtar on 64-year-old Hang-Kam Annie Chiuto to “terrorism.”

Akhtar’s mother said that “he walked an hour every day to a mosque and back but did not return home on Friday night as usual.”  As prosecutors updated the charge against Saad Akhtar to “murder – terrorist activity,” there is a range of unanswered questions. “RCMP and Toronto police said in a joint news release the attack ‘appears to be an isolated incident and there is no further known threat to the public associated to the accused at this time.'”

The article ends with a truth that is rarely stated in the mainstream media:

The so-called Islamic State has since 2014 been urging followers to conduct attacks using readily-available weapons such as knives and vehicles.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service’s latest annual report said extremists inspired by ISIS and Al Qaeda were ‘the number one national security threat to public safety in this country. Investigating these threats remains a top priority for CSIS.’

More so, given Trudeau’s open-door immigration policies and his welcome of Islamic State jihadists.

“Deadly Toronto hammer attack was terrorism, police allege,” by Stewart Bell and Catherine McDonald, Global News, February 25, 2020:

A hammer attack that killed a 64-year-old woman in Toronto on Feb. 21 has been linked by police to terrorism, with the alleged murderer now facing a terrorism-related charge.

Saad Akhtar, 30, was already facing a first-degree murder charge over the apparently random killing of the woman, attacked by a man with a hammer on Friday evening.

But on Tuesday, prosecutors updated charge to “murder – terrorist activity.” The charge applies to a murder “if the act or omission constituting the offence also constitutes a terrorist activity.”

The RCMP and Toronto police said in a joint news release the attack “appears to be an isolated incident and there is no further known threat to the public associated to the accused at this time.”

The victim has been identified by police as Hang-Kam Annie Chiu. She was walking on Toronto’s Sheppard Ave. East near Markham Rd. when she was attacked at around 7 p.m.

The accused’s mother told Global News she had no idea who the victim was, calling Chiu “a stranger” to the family and her son.

Akhtar turned himself in to the Toronto Police Service’s 42 Division following the attack.

“As part of our investigation into the homicide, we came across evidence that lead us to believe there may be a terrorism-related offence,” said Toronto police spokesperson Meaghan Gray….

    Another example and confirmation that weapons of many kinds are readily available and without control. It is not the weapon that does the crime, it is the person using it. What’s next: Sue the hammer manufacturer, distributor and seller? Sue the company that makes, distributes and sells the automobiles that kill 100 people each day? Or recognize the person using the device is the criminal.

    The underlying reason to sue the weapon is that the criminal has no money to pay for the wrong.

      Agree with FA. Another Toronto Muslim jihadist went into a big hardware chain store and asked for a bow and arrows. They refused to hand those to her until she left the store. She then went to the golf department and picked up a heavy club and started bashing other customers because they were dirty KUFAAR and she wanted to take revenge on Canadian civilians for Muslims killed in various Islamic Berzerkistans.

        This incident is very reminiscent of a similar attack that happened in Windsor, Ontario (probably shortly before 9/11 since no one nor any newspapers seemed to have any inkling about something called Islamic terrorism or sheer malice being involved). A middle-aged man was sitting on his front porch one day and suddenly jumped up and chased after a 13-year old boy who’d been riding by on his way to his mother’s home not too far away. The man had a hammer and struck some severe blows to the boys head. There was no indication that the boy had deliberately annoyed him and the man stayed silent on the subject but “wanted to go back to his own country”. His lawyer and the courts seemed to drag things out for a year or so. The boy had recovered and it seems they managed to ship the attacker back to his home country. He never once apologized or showed a trace of remorse for what he’d done to the boy. The boy was Jewish of course. The man’s last name meant nothing to me at that time – I’m pretty sure it was JIHADI.

      Frank Anderson,

      Sounds like the “deep pocket theory”, well known in medical malpractice suits…

      When a malpractice suit is filed, all doctors, nurses, etc., involved in the care of the patient – even very peripherally, get sued by the plaintiff – hoping to find some serious money somewhere.

      And obviously, some cases are legitimate – and deserve monetary compensation.

      But you knew that already…

      A gross oversimplification, just trying to make an analogy.

      Surprisingly, after over 35 years of medical practice, I have never been involved in a medical malpractice suit.

      I’ve always tried to practice to the highest standards, but I am certain that just plain “luck” has been on my side.

      As always, best wishes.

        James, expecting lawyers to do any different is just as illogical as expecting muslims to practice the Golden Rule.

        It now takes more money to go ONE Semester to law school, than it did for me to go the entire 3 years. There are still about 3 lawyers graduating for every job, with non-dischargable student debt easily in the 5 figures. They expect the easy life as they see on television, which actually happens for perhaps one in ten. The rest must shoot for the moon with lawsuits looking for deep pockets and money that can be collected.

        As John Wayne said in True Grit, “Fewer horses-Fewer horse thieves.”

        Always best to you. Frank

      Suing the mosque that the perp attended, especially if he started his attack(s) immediately after exiting it on a Friday, would be a good start. If the mosque is a ”charitable” institution then it must had over its accounting books to regulators who can determine where its money is coming from.

        G.L. to stay well within the rules that still apply to retired lawyers: Please consult a currently licensed attorney practicing in your jurisdiction for any legal advice.

        There is no legal consequence that gives rise to a claim for being a religion or a cult. There is a legal consequence for being a conspiracy- 1) An Agreement 2) Between 2 or more persons 3) For an unlawful purpose or to use unlawful means and 4) ANY overt act by ANY participant in furtherance of the agreement.

        The SPLC got its start by bankrupting a KKK organization using arguments that OUGHT to at least survive a Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim and avoid sanctions for filing a frivolous lawsuit. Such a suit must be extremely well funded and disciplined. Filing such a suit with many listed plaintiffs making claims begs for the budget to be destroyed by discovery expenses almost before the litigation starts. The plaintiffs must know what they are about and be totally committed to seeing the case all the way through fights that could go through many courts for decades. I was the plaintiff in such a war that lasted almost 15 years and went through at least 9 courts, including the US Supreme Court. The primary objective was to document corruption in a way that makes sure it would never happen again. I did.

        Conspiracy is both a civil tort and a crime. Civil torts are claims between private parties. Each side must be a “real party in interest” and not just some curious bystander. Without an RPI, the case would be dismissed and sanctions would be imposed against the attorneys and parties filing it.

        I am probably among many lawyers who did not win a case on the first attempt. Each time I did not win, I polished and learned so the second did better. At the same time, judges sometimes learn too. So it becomes easier to get them to rule favorably as long as the facts and law are presented both correctly and honestly.

        The first steps, if you wish to help this happen, is to find a small number of “Real Parties in Interest”. Then find attorneys who are experienced and prepared to handle the case for at least 10 years. THEN fund the case adequately, if not lavishly, because you can be sure the defendants will have unlimited funding from muslim supporters around the world. At the minimum the case should be both an opportunity to seek damages from co-conspirators AND effectively a Declaratory Judgment on the illegal nature of islam.

        If you think this is something that should happen, please talk with a currently licensed lawyer.

      It’s the ideology, stupid.

      The ideology in play is ‘jihadism’, the political philosophy that claims militant jihad is the highest action for Muslims, more important even than Islamic prayers.

    And the PM of Canuckistan, Jihadi Justin Trudeau, claimed that jihadists would be ‘examples’. But did Saad Akhtar get the memo? Apparently, Saad Akhtar thinks he should be an example of JIHADIC TERRORISM by killing an unarmed old woman. What did Hang-Kam Annie Chiu do to him?

    Saad Akhtar was studying at Ryerson University, a hotbed of Islamist and leftist propaganda.

    Thanks, Jihadi Justin! (now sporting a jihad beard with clipped, Mohammedan mustache … is Justin a secret convert to Islam?)

      It’s surprising that police would reach that conclusion so quickly – or at all, but the times do seem to be a’changing a bit in that way thankfully.
      What I do suspect however, is that Police went to the mosque and learned that there had been some inspired firing-up over the China happenings and poor, victimized, backward muslim countries being prime and primed targets for the virus (what with their habits and incompetent leadership over the harsh and unfair centuries). Time to teach a kafir a lesson!

    Akhtar’s mother didn’t believe her son was capable of jihadic violence, but does she understand that Islam teaches and decrees such violence? I am certain that she understands something about jihad.

    Is that the religion for her? Does she still want to be a Muslim?

    Dr. Iqbal Al-Nadvi is the chairpeoplekind of the Canadian Council of Imams and Amir (president) of the Islamic Circle of North America. The ICNA openly advocate violence against women’s

    Women are inferior to men

    Wife beating is permissible

    Owning slaves girls should be legal

    A Muslim wife must obey her husband when he called her to bed

    Sex slaves are permission certain circumstances

    Pregnant adulteress to be stoned after giving birth

    Western civilization is the enemy and Islam is totally incompatible with democracy

    This is being taught in mosques in Canada, Should they not be closed down? Shari’ah law does NOt apply in Canada it is against our laws.

    Perhaps this poor woman’s family should sue the mosque and Justine Trudeau for allowing such utter bullshit to be taught in Canada.

    Canada: Muslim who attacked 64-year-old woman with hammer and killed her now faces terror charge
    ………………..

    Finally a bit of recognition of reality.

  12. unbeliever1 says

    Perhaps this elderly Chinese lady was unable to recite the Shahada.
    What makes it more ridiculous is the mother saying that he didn’t own a hammer. Must be Muslim logic.

  13. Paul says

    Feb 27, 2020 at 10:43 am

    Now the anti gun laws make more sense, as letting a 64 year old woman defend herself is seen as a problem. We should focus more on those that are violent that want harm to come to many, but not anyone that is concerned about their safety in their own home.
    Women and elderly need to live with others and preferably have a large friendly dog. Everyone of us should seek out others that we can get along with so that we are never alone, as if this woman that was attacked was not alone she might still be alive today.
    People really need to read and understand the many faiths of the world, as most people really do not understand what many of them are as they make the mistake of going by what they are told. The one thing about Christianity is that it does not conform exactly to what is written in the Bible, and the same with Judaism. Just because this is true does not mean that all other faiths are that way.
    However Islam is different in that there have been no changes allowed, and those that have tried the equivalent of a reformation have been killed as they are seen as apostates.
    Problem with many today is that they don’t understand conversion and jihad in Islam as it is quite different than conversion in other faiths. Just remember that Satanism has the Black Mass for converting from another faith, and to assume that other faiths would not have something similar is rather naive. Also what most don’t understand is that Christians, Jews, Satanists, Wiccans, Pagans, Buddhists, and even native peoples stand on the opposite side of Islam as it is very much the opposite of Catholic, as you have to believe as they do or you are not accepted. If you are non Muslim you are seen as less of a person and can be killed. Just think of all the Pagans that once lived in Mecca. There are none of them now, and even the statues have all been destroyed.
    My suggestion is that people listen to Dr David Wood about his description of Jihad, as it is accurate. He is a former Atheist and far as Islam is concerned Atheism is no different than Satanist. Also even if there is only 1% of the Islamic faith that will ever do anything to harm another. That is still a very large number and we need to act accordingly. I’m not saying use offensive tactics against this threat, but we should be prepared and act defensively as we don’t want to harm innocents although those attacking us see no problem with that.
    What many forget is that the easiest way to be demoralized is sinking to the level of your opponent, as such we need to be the Good person throughout all of this.

      They need to be leaving the spider’s parlour in droves if they hope to regain some respect from the rest of the world. And I think they’re intelligent enough to know down deep that the rest of the world is quite capable of assessing them accurately.
