Some hopeful news out of Canada. But it took 7 long years to investigate before charges were laid against Hussein Sobhe Borhot. The brutal activities of jihadists in Syria, particularly those of the Islamic State — from its treatment of sex slaves to beheadings and wanton murder — makes it urgent that these people be brought to justice and penalized severely.
This is particularly difficult given logistics of investigations overseas. The difficulty is compounded by the Liberal government’s policy of handling jihad terror in the context of political correctness and identity politics. Last year:
- “The government….revised a report that is supposed to update Canadians on the major terrorist threats they face, removing all references to Islamist extremism.
- “While the report… had initially identified attackers ‘inspired by violent Sunni Islamist ideology’ as the main terrorist threat to Canada, that line has now been cut.
- “All mentions of ‘Sunni’ and ‘Shia’ extremism were also taken out of the annual report, along with section headings on both types of terrorism.”
It is important for Westerners to understand the ideology that drives jihadists. In 2018, leaked intelligence documents showed a greater threat of Islamic terror than the Canadian government admits. A year later, it emerged that dozens of jihadis were walking free in Canada, yet authorities won’t charge them.
“On the paperwork, Borhot listed his profession as ‘plumber’ and noted his level of ‘Shariah’ — the legal code of Islam, based on the Qur’an — was basic.” It is worth noting that a jihadi’s knowledge of Sharia, beyond the command to kill in the name of Allah (as his or her highest calling) is unrelated to his or her ability to murder and commit other atrocities in the name of Islam. One need look no further than the villages of Pakistan, Afghanistan and the Palestinian territories to understand what religious zeal means in connection with jihad.
“Terrorism charges laid against Calgary man after 7-year probe,” CBC News, July 22, 2020:
Alberta’s RCMP Integrated National Enforcement Team has laid terrorism charges against a Calgary man following an investigation that lasted seven years.
Hussein Sobhe Borhot, 34, of Calgary has been charged with three counts of participation in the activity of a terrorist group, and one count of commission of an offence for a terrorist group, RCMP said in a release.
Between May 2013 and June 2014, Borhot travelled to Syria, where he contributed to the activities of ISIS and received training from the terror group, according to investigators.
Police say he also knowingly committed the offence of kidnapping….
The three counts of participation in activity of a terrorist group include Borhot “entering Syria, enlisting, participating, receiving training, committing terrorist activities and kidnapping for the benefit of, or at the direction of the Islamic state,” Logan said….
CBC News reported in March 2017 that Borhot was among several men with Calgary connections whose names were discovered on ISIS documents that appeared to be application forms to join the terrorist organization.
On the paperwork, Borhot listed his profession as “plumber” and noted his level of “Shariah” — the legal code of Islam, based on the Qur’an — was basic.
In November 2017, CBC News reported that agents from Canada’s federal counterterror security force had questioned a Calgary man, Yacine Meziane, regarding the whereabouts of Borhot…..

Jihadi Justin let them back in and claimed they were ‘EXAMPLES’ … but of what? Crimes against humanity? The Nazis who commanded and perpetrated crimes against humanity were given 20 years in prison, life or execution. Those jihadists who committed crimes against humanity should receive similar punishments.
There are witnesses who can identify them. They should be tried and sentenced. We must tell the Muslim world that we will not tolerate their supremacist jihad.

Laughing my a$$ off 7 years were they thinking of killing him of old age after he commits terror acts on their soil
Political Oracle says
CAIR-CAN will have the case dismissed and thrown out because it was Islamophobic to arrest and charge the would-be terrorist. Just wait and see what happens.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Judging by its laxity, the Canadian anti-terrorist task force must be the most idle branch of the government.
Feet up on the desk much?
mortimer says
Canada’s Liberal government made the police partisan and so they did not ruffle the RED-GREEN AXIS that is the anchor of Liberal manipulation of the electorate.
YYCAlberta says
Terrorists walk among us here in Calgary. They walk among us wherever and whenever they please. Your city or town wherever you are is not exempt.
While they are walking, what thoughts enter their minds? “One day, all of this will be ours. My greatest priority will be how to make this happen sooner rather than later. Allah (PBUH) has drawn blindfolds across all the eyes of their leaders, so our path is clear.”
I am sick that this Islamic Cancer has been permitted, nay encouraged, to penetrate so deeply into our society, our culture, our governments and our children’s future. May our Christian God forgive us for what we have done.
Rochelle Opseth says
If they sway the children to their side, we are lost.

In the very unlikely event that he is found guilty, he will be released within a year. To criticize a Muslim in Canada is considered “racist”. The Canadian government would apologize to him, and give him $millions in compensation.
Jeff Gonez says
Also, he will recieve $10,000,000 from the Turdeau government

Canada: Muslim who told ISIS he had ‘basic’ knowledge of Sharia gets terrorism charges after 7-year investigation
……………….
This is good–but why the hell did it take *seven years*?
Giacomo Latta says
There probably was a day when a CSIS agent had a caseload of one. Nowadays it is more likely to be 10,000.
gravenimage says
All too true. In the UK police have already admitted that they cannot keep track of the Jihadists they already know about.
Jon wright says
7 yrs only in canada! The home of the proislamic PM who hates Jews and XIANS but brings in ISIS fighters with the intention to RESET pro islam behaviour. Ha ha !
YYCAlberta says
Proislamic PM? Not only is that true, but Justin has taken one additional and huge step towards Islam: In September 2019, Justin Trudeau recited the Shahada prayer in a Vancouver Mosque in the presence of many male Muslims. This, in the eyes of all Muslims, signals his conversion to Islam.
As this word of his action last fall spread amongst Muslims across Canada, they voted for his Liberal Party in droves. Funny how that works.
Yet no mainstream media outlets have announced this dramatic conversion. My local Member of Parliament will not answer my questions as to if JT is a Muslim or not. Justin knew exactly what he was doing and it paid off handsomely at the ballot box.
This traitor to our Judeo/Christian values in this country must come clean and resign his office.
Al says
As long as Trudeau thinks they’ll vote for him, he’ll leave the floodgates open and let them in in droves without vetting any of them. He is a national embarrassment and needs to go.
Jayme says
I would not get to excited as what is happening in Ontario and Quebec with not only defund the police movement but end all laws would turn us into the next France or Sweden.
