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

Canada: Muslim woman who was identified as Islamic State recruiter herself hoped to attain “martyrdom”

Apr 7, 2020 4:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“An Edmonton woman has been identified by intelligence officials as an alleged ISIS supporter and Al Shabaab member and who recruited a young Canadian to travel to Syria….Instructions on how to build a bomb were found on her computer, according to the documents, which also allege she is ‘committed’ to ISIS and ‘was/is a senior member’ of Al Shabaab, the Somali terrorist group.”

Yet Ayan Jama still remains uncharged and at large: “She continues to live in Edmonton but two sources said she had remarried and was working to turn her life around.” And she is not even close to being the only one: “The government says there are currently about 60 such people in the country. Few have faced charges. Internal government files have described the challenges of prosecuting them due to the difficulty of proving what they did outside Canada.”

In 2018, Breitbart shed light on leaked documents from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) that showed that “the intelligence service is far more concerned with Islamic terrorism behind closed doors than the left-wing Trudeau government will admit in public.” One of the documents contained a report from a committee hearing; it stated:  “The Service has never before faced a terrorist threat of the scope, scale and complexity of Sunni Islamist-inspired terrorism.”

It was also revealed a year earlier that dozens of jihadis were walking free in Canada, yet authorities won’t charge them.

“Edmonton woman ‘committed’ to ISIS ‘facilitated extremist activities,’ secret documents allege,” by Stewart Bell, Global News, April 3, 2020:

An Edmonton woman has been identified by intelligence officials as an alleged ISIS supporter and Al Shabaab member and who recruited a young Canadian to travel to Syria, Global News has learned.

Top Secret documents publicly disclosed in court, and obtained by Global News, also allege that Ayan Jama, 31, “has indicated a desire to attain martyrdom.”

Instructions on how to build a bomb were found on her computer, according to the documents, which also allege she is “committed” to ISIS and “was/is a senior member” of Al Shabaab, the Somali terrorist group.

“She has participated in the recruitment and radicalization of a Canadian, whose eventual travel overseas to Syria was encouraged and partially financed by her,” according to the documents.

Her husband, Mohamed Sakr, was a “senior figure” in Al Shabaab (AS). He was stripped of British citizenship by U.K. authorities and killed in a 2012 drone strike.

Despite the government’s allegations, Jama has not been charged with any terrorism offences. Her lawyer declined to comment, but the documents indicate she has denied any involvement in terrorism.

She continues to live in Edmonton but two sources said she had remarried and was working to turn her life around.

The explosive allegations identify Jama as a returnee — someone who has come back to Canada after having participated in terrorist activities overseas.

The government says there are currently about 60 such people in the country. Few have faced charges. Internal government files have described the challenges of prosecuting them due to the difficulty of proving what they did outside Canada.

Concerns about Jama’s alleged past are detailed in government documents filed in a highly-secretive case before the Federal Court that centres around her attempt to renew her Canadian passport….

      Thank you, Jihadi Justin. He never met a jihad-terrorist he didn’t like. He visited every terrorist-harboring mosque in Canada. The Muslim Brotherhood is Mr. Blackface’s best friend.

      In the US, the Dems allowed the Muslim Brotherhood to infiltrate every branch of government and Canada, under the Lib-Jihad Party, is doing the same.

      The two parties made a deal with the jihadist devils.

    Hey, Trudeau. I’ll bet you can get the US to get them to send all their prison inmates to relocate in Canada. We’ll give them homes and food so they will find like enjoyable.

    Our kind natures will surely correct their tendencies to murder, rob and rape. We are the antiseptic cure for the world’s troubled!

    Bring in the tigers, lions and jackals too. We are brave – we have hockey sticks!

    The Canadian government seems to know a lot about what she is doing, and has done, while IN Canada. That should be enough to charge her with serious crimes against the country itself.

    Recruiting another person to travel to the middle east and bomb making instructions on her computer should give the authorities all they need to deport her or put her in prison.

    What seems to be common sense to everyone else leaves us shaking our heads at the people hired to protect us. And they know of sixty of them walking the streets? If they know of sixty, how many others are floating just under their radar?

    This is a scary situation indeed.

    Quote: “Her husband, Mohamed Sakr, was a “senior figure” in Al Shabaab (AS). He was stripped of British citizenship by U.K. authorities and killed in a 2012 drone strike.”

    But JIHADI JUSTIN reversed the law of the preceding government that REMOVED citizenship from Islamic TERRORISTS.

    Of course! What could go wrong? Canada’s first DHIMMI prime minister.

    Canada: Muslim woman who was identified as Islamic State recruiter herself hoped to attain “martyrdom”
    …………………….

    And she was a member of *two* Jihad terror groups, and actually had information on how to build a bomb on her computer. This is not just a “Jihadi bride” who went to the Islamic State to live in an Islamic utopia. Why is she allowed to run around free?

    More:

    Yet Ayan Jama still remains uncharged and at large: “She continues to live in Edmonton but two sources said she had remarried and was working to turn her life around.”
    …………………….

    Based *on what*? Is Canada going to risk the lives of her people on this hope? And what about the other 60 Jihadists? Likely the actual number is much higher, as well.

    If she wants to be a martyr I’m sure that could be arranged

      There are a lot of very poor truck drivers in Edmonton. Surely one could be successful.

    I urge all Canadians and Americans to read “SUBMISSION”,The Danger of Political Islam to Canada, With a Warning to America by Thomas Quiggin.

    And please do read the following statements by the revered, Islamic Scholar, Sayyid Qutb:

    “Those who believed, and MIGRATED, and strove with their wealth and their persons in the cause of God, and those who gave them refuge and helped them, are the protectors of each other”. 8:72

    “The foremost duty of Islam in this world is to depose Jahiliyyah from the leadership of man, and to take the leadership into its own hands and enforce the particular way of life which is a permanent feature”.

    “Islam does not sanction the rule of selfish desires. it has come to abolish all such concepts, laws, customs, and traditions, and to replace them with a new concept of human life, to create a new world on the foundation of submission to the Creator”.

    “ We need not rationalize Islam to them, need not appease their desires and distorted concepts. We will be extremely outspoken with them”.

    “The chasm between Islam and Jahiliyyah is great and a bridge is not to be built across it so that the people on the two sides may mix with each other, but only so that the people of the Jahiliyyah may come over to Islam”.

    “ The principles of Ijtihad and deduction are well known, and there is no vagueness or looseness in them. No one is allowed to devise a law and say that it is according to the Law of God unless it is declared that God is the Legislator, and that the source of authority is God himself and not some nation or party or individual, and a sincere attempt is made to find out the will of God through references to his book and the teachings of His Messenger—Peace be on him.”

    “NO political system or material power should put hindrances in the way of preaching Islam. It should leave every individual free to accept or reject it, and if someone wants to accept it, it should not prevent him or fight against him. If someone does this, then it is the duty of Islam to fight him until either he is killed or until he declares his submission “.

    “The government says there are currently about 60 such people in the country”. Who in their right mind would believe a word Justine and his collaborators say? They have promoted, and protected all the Islamists in Canada.

    Question will she as a martyr get 72 virgin males or females or most likely she will become one of the 72 virgins for a male martyr. Just what the world needs another muslim nut job. STOP the migration of Islamic people.

  11. unbeliever1 says

    Apr 8, 2020 at 2:31 pm

    Did she finance this individual’s trip to Syria with her Welfare cheque?

  12. Giacomo Latta says

    Apr 8, 2020 at 5:15 pm

    ”has indicated a desire to attain martyrdom”
    With all the right-to-die legislation on the books these days why can we not find the time to be ”inclusive” and add muslims to the list of prime candidates?

  13. Al says

    Apr 8, 2020 at 7:41 pm

    Drop her off a cliff. I don’t know or care whether that qualifies her for martyrdom but it gets rid of one more pos.
