CSIS Terrorizing the Terrorists?
Well, now we're bleeding for the hurt feelings of terrorist suspects and their vitriolic family members. That's funny, really funny. But it's the truth, our newspapers are giving them space to air their grievances about been hounded and harassed, poor things. I suppose it's all a matter of perspective. Almost every group of people espousing legal or cultural or public issues of one kind or another feels entitled to disseminate their views, their aspirations, their expectations of society, whether they have a good reason to do so or not. A good reason may be viewed as the legitimate intention to add value to society, or to a particular, deserving group by opening opportunities otherwise not available to that group, and in so doing ensuring a more inclusive, better society at large.I can agree to that, in principle. I do draw the line at certain things, like radicalization of groups adhering to a particular point of view inimical to the society that Canadians value and wish to continue and expand upon, one which offers opportunities to all without discrimination. People espousing, valuing and acting to destabilize Canadian society and worse yet, planning and intending to deliver real harm to this society are exempted. Is that unreasonable? We do, after all, live within and believe in an open and free society. Open to respecting others whose views do not reflect our own exactly, but whose values and adherence to the rule of law do. A society free to go about its business without fear of loss of personal and group security.
That would, of course, exclude would-be jihadists. What a surprise. But there's this thing about such people. They believe passionately that they are right, that society at large is wrong, that the society they endeavour to change by means unfair and foul has values unworthy of consideration, needing to be altered to those that they can and will accept. Strictures of fundamentalism. They readily select those very attributes that make ours a free and fair society, and condemn them, then plot to bring about mayhem, murder included, to pave the way for the wave of liberation they will introduce. The Province of Ontario flirted with the idea of helping some of these people, then decided against the introduction of Sharia Law.
In the meantime, and for the time being, 17 would-be terrorists were arrested on suspicion of terroristic activity directed against the society in which they and their families live. Now comes the part where those so inclined toward jihad plead that their aspirations are misunderstood, that they are being singled out unfairly, that they have engaged in no criminal activities and that the law enforcement agencies of the country have in the past and continue to the present to make their lives miserable. CSIS is terrorizing the terrorists among us.
Now that's chutzpah. And although that is a Jewish word and a Jewish concept, it's being practised brilliantly by who else? jihadists. Cheryfa MacAulay Jamal claims that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service had long been asking questions about her husband Qayyum Abdul Jamal, who was accustomed to leading prayers at a Mississauga mosque, before his apprehension and arrest. We have, since his arrest along with his cohorts, been informed that as the oldest among the group he was the ringleader, the catalyst, the educator-to-jihad. That his crazed anti-Western, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish rants had become a matter of some concern to some members of the mosque, but nothing much had been done about it. Other than that a mosque attendee, an elected member of parliament had expressed some concern.
His wife is quoted in a newspaper article thusly:
"We knew they were asking our friends and their parents about us, even telling them that Abdul Qayyum was recruiting for Jihad, but everyone knew this was untrue, that he was only teaching Tafsir [commentary] in the mosque and guiding the youth with problems."This was the very same man who was handing out CDs with messages from al Queda of hatred toward the West, encouraging young Muslim men to be true to the Koran's message of war against infidels. Khadija Abdul Qahaar, publisher of JUSone News has expressed the view that mainstream press has been nasty to this poor woman, wife of this senior terrorist-aspirant. this woman, Cheryfa MacAulay claims that CSIS attempted to run her down on three occasions with their cars. She laments that her family has lost its sole source of income and that she had plans to drive a school bus for her son's Islamic school in the fall and that, with the baby bonus would assist them in their living expenses.
Her most recent initiative, however, has been to declare herself and her family as charity cases and she is willing, she has said, to accept charitable donations from well wishers, through an on-line web site and she is furthermore planning to legally register with Canada Customs and Revenue Agency as a legally-recognized charity within Canada. This poor, innocent woman. Life has been so unfair to her and her loved ones. Radical Islamic hatred for the West and its values, and an even deeper hatred for Jews sustains their sense of righteousness and they simply cannot understand why this is deemed unacceptable in our society.
It cannot be a mere accident that women with the very same names as those associated with the 17 taken into custody for suspected terrorist activities; Nada, married to Zakaria Amara who has written on an online blog: "Look at these pathetic people (Muslim homosexuals) they should all be sent to Saudi, where these sickos are executed or crushed by a wall in public." Or her sister Rana (wife of suspect Ahmad Ghany); Mariya (wife of conspiracy leader Fahim Ahmad) writing their vitriolic spite against the society they live within but disdain with Islamic vigour.
"You don't know that the Muslims in Canada will never be rounded up and put into internment camps like the Japanese were in WWII!" wrote Cheryfa MacAulay Jamal in 2004. Rana Ghany writes even more unambiguously: "May Allah curse the Jews". It's useful to remember that these are not Muslims born elsewhere and transplanted to Canada as immigrants; these are homegrown bigots, racial nasties of our very own. Their sense of self-perceived propriety in upholding the tenets and values of their religion, their sense of entitlement to any activities they deem reasonable within the demands of jihadist Islam remains unassailable by logic. They feel they have been wronged, and that is that.
While her husband was recruiting teens for Jihad she and her cohorts were enjoining others in their mutual hatred for all that was not fundamentalist Islamic in nature and nurture. What manner of beast have we wrought in Canada, with our commitment to honouring and encouraging multiculturalism instead of instilling Canadian values among all Canadians to the benefit of the country?
