They are residents of Canada "for the most part," police said on Saturday. Their ethnic or national origins include Somali, Egyptian, Jamaican and Trinidadian.

The suspects came from all walks of life, ranging from a sandwich-shop worker to a computer programmer, according to local media reports.

Ahmad Mustafa Ghany, 21, was a health-sciences graduate from McMaster University, and was born in Canada after his father, a urologist, immigrated from Trinidad and Tobago in 1955, according to attorney Rocco Galati, who is representing Ghany and another suspect, Shareef Abdelhaleen. Galati said Abdelhaleen is a 30 year-old unmarried software programmer who emigrated from Egypt at the age of 10.

Both Mississauga, with a population of nearly 613,000 residents, and Scarborough have large Muslim populations and count several mosques and hundreds of businesses that cater to them. The 2001 Canadian Census counted 42,000 Muslims living in Mississauga and 165,135 Muslims living in Toronto, or about 7 percent of the population.

Many in the Muslim community worry about a violent backlash violence as a result of the terrorism arrests. A Toronto mosque was apparently vandalized overnight Saturday.

Omar Farouk, pres. of the International Muslim Organization, said the attack on his mosque "clearly showed hatred."

LOL, we all hate you because we are all basically racist to the bone!

Sayed Reza, an administrator with the Understanding Islamic Academy in Mississauga said he remains confident that Canadians will remain tolerant.

lets certainly hope not.

"Generally, the Canadian public do support us in times like this," he said, though he later added that he did feel suspicious looks over the weekend since the arrests were announced. "I do feel the hysteria. People were looking us in shock when they drove by the school."

And "shocking looks" are the worstus kind of hateful Hate Crime, don't ya know!
