| More than 100 Canadians named on Al Qaeda-affiliated website |
| 2010-12-22 |
| More than 100 Canadian-Arab Christians are listed on an Al Qaeda-affiliated website, apparently targeted because of their alleged role in attempting to convert Muslims. Some of those named say concerned Canadian intelligence officials have contacted them. The Shumukh-al-Islam website, often considered to be Al Qaeda’s mouth piece, listed pictures, addresses and cellphone numbers of Coptic Christians, predominantly Egyptian-Canadians, who have been vocal about their opposition to Islam. In a forum on the website, one member named Son of a Sharp Sword, says “We are going to return back to Islam and all of the Mujahedeen (holy warriors) will cut off their heads.” Three pages of the fundamentalist, Arabic-language website titled “Complete information on Coptics” sets to “identify and name all of the Coptics throughout the world who hope to defame Islam,” The website calls the Coptic Christians living abroad “dogs in diaspora,” a derogatory reference in Arabic. Among those named on the Shumukh-al-Islam website is Samuel Tawadrus, a Coptic Egyptian living in Quebec. “This is a direct threat against our lives,” Tawadrus said in an interview. “They are trying to inform each other in hopes that someone can carry out this threat. They could be in Egypt and they could be here. Our names and our pictures are listed.” Tawadrus’s picture and cellphone number were listed on the site. |

| #2 Ho-hum. Just another wanker or two mouthing off on"an Al Qaeda-affiliated website. Lots of that going on. Then the guv in the name of "concerned Canadian intelligence officials" gets involved. Talk about making a bad situation worse! Don't you love the names, like "Son of a Sharp Sword", who's probably NOT the sharpest knife in the drawer? Ever notice that none of them ever name themselves "Onward Christian Soldiers" or such? Poor memory I guess. Well I can tell you that the efforts continue in Canada to convert Muslims. I personally don't care if they convert to Christianity or to dogfood, either one don't bother me. But mess up my hockey game and there's gonna be trouble! |

| #1 Wouldn't it be a hoot to hack this al Qaeda website, and swap out that list for one of prominent American radical leftists, like Danny Glover, Oliver Stone and Michael Moore? |
