US Ambassador visits Canadian mosque promising US taxpayer aid

…we didn’t ask him here to just smile at us,” Dr. Safaa Fouda

After U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others were killed by Muslims, and days before Muslims killed four and wounded hundreds in Boston, US Ambassador David Jacobson went to Canada to, of course, visit Muslims. Presumably, Jacobson isn’t running guns to Canadian jihadists yet but he is promising your tax dollars to Muslims. Obama’s Taxation for Islamization wealth transfer plan continues. via SheikYerMami.

…the focus of the event was the open discussion. Although respectful, the questions asked by participants did challenge US domestic and foreign policies on issues such as the rights of prisoners still in Guantanamo Bay, the treatment of Muslim-Canadians at the American border, attacks on Shia Muslims in Pakistan, US drone attacks in Northern Pakistan, the role of the US government in speaking out against Islamophobia, and the recognition of the State of Palestine.

“Well, we didn’t ask him here to just smile at us,” Dr. Safaa Fouda said in response to a comment on the frankness of the discussion.  “I consider it a good start for continuing the relationship with the US Embassy.

A starting point to the end goal of all things Islam, SUBMISSION. And it starts with taxing Americans to pay for Muslims in Canada and importing more Muslims to the U.S.:

Ambassador Jacobson was invited to visit the Ottawa Main Mosque by the Ottawa Muslim Women’s Organization, the Ottawa Muslim Association (which runs the mosque), and the Council of American Islamic Relations-Canada (CAIR-CAN),  to engage in open discussion with the Muslim community.

In his opening speech, the envoy outlined a number of programs and partnerships that his embassy had undertaken with Canadian Muslim organizations. These included helping to fund the Family Honour Project of the Muslim Family Resource Centre in London, Ontario and collaborating with the Association of Progressive Muslims on an exchange for young Muslim community leaders to the US.

As Pamela Geller writes, US Ambassador Meets with Hamas-CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood groups at Ottawa Main Mosque, Promises to Fund “Family Honor Project”

This is so bizarre. The only more peculiar aspect of it is his commitment to help fund the “Family Honour Project of the Muslim Family Resource Centre.” I am sure it’s not to save Muslim girls from honor killings. It’s to laugh. It’s to cry.

It’s beyond bizarre. It is on the verge of sedition and as Americans and taxpayers people need to demand an end to the never-ending aid to Muslims who want nothing more than to conquer America fully.

Canada: Muslim population doubles since 9/11, fastest growing religious population

Like in the U.S., 9/11 was just the beginning of a rapid wave of Islamization in Canada. The hijra continues unabated. via Muslims fastest growing religious population in Canada |National Post.

Across the country, the Muslim population is growing at a rate exceeding other religions, according to Statistics Canada. It is even growing faster than the number of Canadians identifying as having no religion, though just barely, according to the National Household Survey released Wednesday.

The Muslim population exceeded the one million mark, according to the survey, almost doubling its population for the third-consecutive decade.

However, the survey results should be taken with caution. Experts say the voluntary nature of the survey, which replaced the mandatory long-form census, leaves gaps in the data from groups that tend not to respond to such surveys, such as new immigrants.

In other words, there are likely many more Muslims who didn’t respond.

Experts believe the data provide a fairly good, broad picture of Canada, but data on smaller groups may have less reliable information.

As mosques become more commonplace and more women wear the niqab, there are growing debates about religious accommodations.

“We need to sit down as Muslims, not as a community because there isn’t one community, and decide what we want to be accommodated and what we want to give up,” said Alia Hogben, executive director of the Canadian Council of Muslim Women.

Huh? Accommodate? Unabashed supremacists. They don’t come to assimilate, they come to dominate.

One-on-one, non-Muslims may have favourable views of their Islamic colleagues, but that feeling doesn’t always extend to the wider Muslim population, said Pamela Dickey Young, a professor of religion and culture at Queen’s University.

Dozens of Muslims living in Canada have been convicted of or died waging jihad, and Muslims have forced Islam on Canadians – how can that be viewed favorably?

“It isn’t like Canadian Muslims have not tried to educate the Canadian populace…but for some reason there’s still that edge with it that some Canadians have problems getting over,” Dickey Young said.

Again, huh? Canadians don’t need to be educated on Islam, Muslim immigrants need to assimilate to Canada.

Muslims now represent 3.2 per cent of the country’s total population, nudging up from the two per cent recorded in 2001.

Immigration has largely fuelled the increase, with the largest share coming from Pakistan over the past five years, according to Statistics Canada.

But the survey provides no breakdown of type of Muslims living in Canada, as the survey didn’t ask respondents, for instance, whether they were Shiite or Sunni.

Vehemently anti-West, anti-free speech, pro sharia, pro jihad, terrorist-haven Pakistan. Oh Canada.

In true supremacist fashion, even in the accompanying graphic the mosque must reign supreme:

Coexist bitchez.

Toronto police force rabbi to stop hosting Pamela Geller event

Sharia keeps on creepin, creepin, creepin, into our countries. via Shocking: Toronto police force rabbi to stop hosting JDL / Pamela Geller event (video) h/t Kathy Shaidle

Meir Weinstein talked to Michael Coren about the shocking development surrounding Pamela Geller’s visit to Toronto on May 13.

The rabbi of the original venue, Chabad Flamingo, was visited by police, who informed him that a Muslim group (or groups) complained to him about his hosting of Geller’s JDL sponsored talk.

The rabbi was told he would lose his position as a York Region police chaplain unless he cancelled Geller’s talk. He therefore felt obligated to pull out of his involvement in the event.

Now the JDL is arranging a new venue for Geller’s visit.

Pamela Geller WILL speak on the scheduled night, somewhere in the Toronto area. Your ticket WILL be honored, regardless of the location.

Veerappan said he told Kaplan that Geller’s speech “would not be endorsed by York Regional Police” and that the rabbi’s role as a force chaplain would be thrown into question if he were to allow the event.

“If he did (host Geller), then we’d have to reassess our relationship with (Kaplan),” Veerappan said. “We serve the needs of the entire community. Some of the stuff that Ms. Geller speaks about runs contrary to the values of York Regional Police and the work we do in engaging our communities.”

Veerappan said a member of York’s Muslim community, whom he wouldn’t identify, brought Geller’s scheduled talk to the attention of police.

York police enlist eight chaplains of different faiths to counsel police officers and their families. Among them is a Muslim chaplain, Imam Abdul Hai Patel.

Canada Tried To Deport Muslim Terror Suspect Nine Years Ago

via Canada Tried To Deport Terror Suspect Nine Years Ago.

Canadian authorities arrested Raed Jaser for a train-related terror plot on April 22. New reports, including this one by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, now confirm that Canada had tried unsuccessfully to deport Jaser nine years ago.

Jaser and another suspect, Chiheb Esseghaier, were accused of planning to attack a passenger train in an “al-Qaeda supported” terror attack.

Jaser’s family came to Canada in 1993 seeking refuge status. They were denied such status, but appealed the decision. They eventually sought deferred removal order status, but Jaser “could not be included in that program because he had criminal convictions.”

Yet Jaser remained in the country.

In 2004, “an arrest warrant was issued for Jaser so he could be deported.” At the hearing for his deportation, Jaser claimed to be a Palestinian with nowhere to go, although records show he was born in the United Arab Emirates.

Familiar Islamic ploy? U.S. Feds won’t deport felon with 35 arrests because he claims to be ‘Palestinian’

The hearing closed with Jaser being allowed to stay in Canada “on bail” until authorities figured out what to do. He was arrested on April 22, 2012 for plotting terror.

The “rest of Mr. Jaser’s family are now Canadian citizens.”

Canada arrests two Muslims, planned attack on Amtrak-Via passenger line

Canada has a growing jihad problem. via Alleged terror plot targeting Via train thwarted – CBC News.

Canadian police say they have arrested two men and thwarted a plot to carry out a major terrorist attack on a Via passenger train in the Greater Toronto Area.

In a press conference that followed an exclusive report by CBC’s Greg Weston, police named the two accused as Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, of Montreal, and Raed Jaser, 35, from Toronto. They have been charged with conspiracy to carry out a terrorist attack and “conspiring to murder persons unknown for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a terrorist group.”

Could he be the same Chicheb Esseghaier listed on this Linkedin profile sporting the jihadi flag of the Islamic State of Iraq? Possibly Tunisian, a biochemical PhD candidate possibly on a student visa? Or is this just a coincidence?

The two men arrested are not Canadian citizens, police said Monday, but would not provide any details about their nationalities.

The RCMP accused the two men of conspiring to commit an “al-Qaeda-supported” attack.

Police said the two accused were getting “direction and guidance” from al-Qaeda elements in Iran. There was no information to suggest the attacks were state sponsored, police said.

Chief Supt. Jennifer Strachan said the two suspects watched trains and railways in the Greater Toronto Area. There was a specific route targeted, not necessarily a specific train, Strachan said, although she declined to reveal which route was allegedly being targeted.

“We are alleging that these two individuals took steps and conducted activities to initiate a terrorist attack,” she told reporters.

The two men are expected to appear at Old City Hall courthouse in Toronto tomorrow.

Alleged attack in planning stage

Had this plot been carried out, it would have resulted in innocent people being killed or seriously injured, RCMP Assistant Commissioner James Malizia told reporters on Monday.

However, Strachan said the attack was in the planning state but “not imminent.”

In a statement, RCMP said while they believe the individuals accused had the “capacity and intent” to carry out an attack, they believed there was “no imminent threat” to the public, rail employees, train passengers or infrastructure.

In a statement, Via Rail reiterated that “at no time” was there an imminent threat to the safety of the public or Via rail passengers or staff.

Highly placed sources tell CBC News the alleged plotters have been under surveillance for more than a year in Quebec and southern Ontario.

The investigation was part of a cross-border operation involving Canadian law enforcement agencies, the FBI and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The arrests Monday morning were co-ordinated and executed by a special joint task force of RCMP and CSIS anti-terrorism units, combined with provincial and municipal police forces in Ontario and Quebec.

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews congratulated the RCMP, CSIS and local law enforcement and thanked the FBI for their assistance.

“Today’s arrests demonstrate that terrorism continues to be a real threat to Canada,” Toews told reporters on Parliament Hill Monday. “The success of Operation Smooth is due to the fact that Canada works very closely with international partners to combat terrorism.”

A curiously timed arrest. Under surveillance for over a year. FBI and DHS involvement. No imminent threat – which has come to mean the FBI was supplying fake explosives. But taken down a week after the Boston event. If there was no imminent threat, what transpired in the last few days to trigger the arrests?

He declined to take questions, citing the ongoing investigation.

U.S. Ambassador David Jacobson also congratulated the RCMP and said in a statement the arrests were the result of “extensive” cross-border co-operation.

“It underscores the fact that we face serious and real threats, and that security is a shared responsibility,” Jacobson said. “We all need to remain vigilant in confronting threats and keeping North America safe and secure.”

Law enforcement officials say the terror suspects arrested today have no connection to the two brothers accused of last week’s Boston Marathon bombings.

Irrespective of the arrest, how can any logical human being believe Canadian or U.S. officials when they talk about keeping “North America” safe? With open borders, next to no enforcement of immigration policies and laws, and mass importation of people from terror states – yet we’re to believe this keeps us safe? Truly mind boggling.

More:

While the Canadians did not divulge the details of the terror train plot, sources familiar with the “Operation Smooth” investigation told the Daily News the plotters were targeting an Amtrak passenger train bound for Canada out of Penn Station in Manhattan.

When Amtrak trains cross the border, passengers switch to Canadian Via Rail trains.

Sources said the pair intended to attack the trains only after they’d left the U.S. and crossed into Canada.

Interesting. Presumably that gives Canada prosecutorial jurisdiction right? Can any law student clarify? Were the two planning on being on the train that left Penn Station, i.e., did they have clearance to enter the U.S.?

Toronto: Another Mohammed attempts to kill his wife

via Aurora woman fighting for life after attack in her home | Toronto Star. h/t DP

A 32-year-old woman is fighting for her life in hospital after an attack in her Aurora home that left her with severe head injuries.

The woman’s husband is now in custody, charged with attempted murder.

Police were called to a house on Lewis Honey Dr. near Bayview Ave. and St. John’s Sideroad just after 8 p.m. Friday.

Officers found the woman with “significant and serious injuries” according to York Regional Police Insp. Gary Miner.

The woman was rushed to hospital where she underwent surgery to treat trauma to the head Saturday morning.

“We’re hopeful,” says Miner. “But her condition could turn significantly worse.”

Police are not releasing the victim’s name but did say they had been called to the home before.

Miner says other family members were in the home at the time of the attack, but would not say whether or not they were children.

The victim’s husband, Mohammed Mahdi, 46, appeared in a Newmarket court Saturday morning where he was remanded into custody and will appear in court again Tuesday. He was arrested at the scene and later charged with attempted murder.

The family’s brown brick home sits on a corner lot in a quiet, residential area made up of similar looking houses. It was cordoned off by police tape Saturday afternoon.

The neighbours who live in the other half of the semi-detached house said they heard a commotion Friday night, but didn’t think it was cause for alarm until police descended upon the home.

They said three little girls, ranging in age from 4 to 8, lived in the residence. They could be seen in a window of the house watching their mother being taken to the ambulance on a stretcher.

The neighbours said the woman was “very sweet and friendly.” The man, they said, mostly kept to himself.

 

Toronto: Sharia swim times prevent dad from watching own daughter’s swim class

Creeping along in Toronto where at least 9 public pools are subject to Islamic sharia law. via Sun News : Toronto dad not allowed to watch daughter’s swim class for religious reasons.

TORONTO – When a single dad signed his nine-year-old daughter up for female-only swim lessons, he didn’t realize he — as a man — was going to be banned from watching her practice.

Chris (who didn’t want his last name published) was shocked when he had the blinds to the viewing area of the Dennis R. Timbrell Recreation Centre pool in Flemingdon Park shut on him and then was told by staffers it was for “religious reasons.”

“I spoke to a staff member and she told me that it’s because of Muslim women, that we’re not allowed to look at them or whatever,” Chris, 38, told the Toronto Sun Friday. “I don’t think religion has a role to play in a public pool.”

Chris said he enrolled his daughter online through the city’s website and registered her for the Ultra Swim 1: Female class – a nine-week course offered for free at the community centre.

Nowhere on the form did it mention that males could not watch the lessons.

So, when he showed up with his child at the pool on March 28 and again on Thursday night, he was confused when told he wasn’t allowed to watch.

“She doesn’t have a lot of friends and I wanted her to swim with girls,” Chris explained. “I don’t know what parent wouldn’t want to watch their child participate. There were other fathers there who weren’t too happy.”

Local Councillor John Parker hadn’t heard of the particular case until the Sun contacted him Friday, but said the dad’s point is a “legitimate one” and raises a “fair issue.”

“If we have a young child and there is a desire for the parent to provide supervision I would hope that we would not be so inflexible,” he said.

The Ward 26-Don Valley West councillor said there are only so many hours available in the pool.

“So we have to decide and we have to determine just what are the options that are available to us and how many hours are there in the day to allow the different options that communities want,” Parker said. “So far the pressure has been to provide hours for women only, this gives rise to the legitimate question: ought we to find time for mixed groups precisely to accommodate the concern that this parent has raised.”

File this under “How the West was Lost.”

Canada: Muslim charged for sexually exploiting under-age children

Under age rape jihad. What is it with Canadian Muslims and minors? Note the almost bizarre wording in this piece about a child rapist. via Child sex tourism: Brampton man charged under federal law aimed at those who exploit children outside Canada | Toronto Star.

Azeem Siddiqi’s knees bobbed like pistons as he sat outside room 207 of the Brampton courthouse last month, head bowed, eyes locked in an unfocused gaze at linoleum flooring.

Posted on a board outside the courtroom door to his right, a piece of paper listed his name nearly a dozen times next to such charges as “sexual interference,” “sexual exploitation,” “distribution” and “possession” of child pornography.

Siddiqi, a 29-year-old living in Brampton, is among the rare few Canadians to ever be charged under a federal sex tourism law aimed at those who exploit children outside the country, a Star investigation has found.

The handsome, clean-cut Canadian of Pakistani descent is alleged to have created, possessed and shared troubling photographic and video images of male and female minors, including sexually touching them with his hands and penis.

The list of 11 charges, none of them yet tested in court, allege Siddiqi distributed pornographic images of a “prepubescent female being sexually exploited,” imported pornography featuring minors and created videos and images of a male and female under the age of 18 years.

When approached for comment outside the courthouse last month, Siddiqi ran into a parking lot where he dodged traffic before disappearing from view.

The investigation by Peel Regional Police’s child exploitation unit that began with Siddiqi has since expanded to include a network of 30 more alleged Internet predators from around the world with whom Siddiqi is accused of sharing images, information it has passed on via the RCMP to police forces in eight countries.

UNICEF estimates there are as many as two million children worldwide involved in the sex trade.

With a search warrant in hand, Morrow visited Siddiqi’s Brampton home a year ago to seize electronic equipment containing images and video. The content of those devices became the basis of possession and distribution of child pornography charges.

One set of images of a young Pakistani boy triggered a further investigation that would eventually lead to an international search for both online predators and their victims.

“After the seizure and review of the device, we formed the grounds to rearrest the accused, Siddiqi, and in the subsequent interview I conducted with him, we learned the identity of the child (in the video).”

A day after being acquitted of sex-related charges, a former Toronto imam was arrested Wednesday for extradition to the United States.

Mohammad Masroor, 50, is wanted in Michigan and Florida on charges of criminal sexual contact with a person under 13, Toronto Police said.

“The offences are alleged to have occurred between 2000 and 2005,” police said Thursday.

Masroor was charged two years ago with sexually assaulting six people between November 2008 and July 2011. He was also charged with threatening death.

At the time of his 2011 arrest, Masroor was an imam teaching the Qur’an to children at an east-end mosque.

The allegations came as a shock to Muslim community members attending the mosque.

On Wednesday, after standing trial on seven sex-related charges, he was acquitted on all counts.

Masroor — of Bangladeshi origin — has been in Canada since 2008, police said.

Officers noted in 2011 that he had also been to a number of other places: Germany, Hungary, Sri Lanka, Singapore, France, Michigan and Florida.

Police said Thursday Masroor is in custody and currently awaiting proceedings that could end with his extradition to the U.S.

 

First known Canadian Muslim waxed waging jihad in Syria

Thank Obama in part for legitimizing the Syrian jihadists. via Blazing Cat Fur: First Canadian to be killed in the jihad fields of Syria.

The civil war in Syria appeals to young Muslims from many countries including the West, wishing to join the ranks of Jihad (holy war) as part of the rebel forces in Syria, most of which are identified with radical Islamic streams.

Canadian citizens have also enlisted with the Syrian rebels. One of these Canadians was killed recently in fighting against forces of the Syrian regime in the environs of the capital Damascus. Jamal Mohamed Abd al-Kader was born and raised in Canada, a member of a Kurdish family originally from the village of Juka near Afrin in north east Syria.

Not to be confused with the other Canadian jihadist named Khadr who killed an American soldier.

Jamal, a student and his parents’ only son, decided last year to join the rebel forces in Syria. In July 2012 he arrived in Turkey, and a day later entered Syria via the Bab al-Salama crossing. He then joined up with the ‘Asifat a-Shimal Brigade’ of the ‘Free Syrian Army’, later joining the ‘Ahrar al-Sham Brigades’. Jamal participated in the fighting in the area around Aleppo during the summer and autumn of 2012, and went on to participate in the fighting around Damascus from December 2012 until he was killed by Syrian army fire on February 26, 2013.

One of the Syrian fighters who knew Jamal recounted that after a telephone conversation with his parents, during which they tried to convince him to return to Canada and complete his university studies, he tore up his Canadian passport, deciding to commit himself totally to fighting within the ranks of jihad.

Mohammad Talal Bazer Bashi, one of the founders of the ‘Ahrar al-Sham Brigades’ noted in a media interview that the number of volunteers originating from abroad reaches two percent of all fighters, all of them motivated by their desire to participate in Jihad. According to him, his organization embraces Islamic ideology and adheres to Sharia, Islamic law.
