| Muslims Denounce Convert Who Threatened Canada |
| 2014-12-10 |
| [IsraelTimes] Canadian Moslems denounced a convert's call for more lone-wolf attacks in the country Monday, just weeks after two soldiers were killed in the first jihadist attacks on Canadian soil. The National Council of Canadian Moslems condemned a video message from a Canadian jihadist fighter from the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group as 'abhorrent and un-Islamic.' 'The attempt to justify attacks against innocent people is deeply misguided and unsupported by Islamic principles,' echoed Imam Sikander Hashmi, front man for the Canadian Council of Imams. In the video, John Maguire, originally from Ottawa, warns Canada it faces retaliation for participating in US-led Calling himself Abu Anwar al-Canadi, Maguire urged Moslems to follow the example of a driver in a hit-and-run killing of a soldier near Montreal and of a gunman who killed an unarmed soldier in Ottawa. Or, he said, Canadian Moslems should travel to Syria to join IS. The six-minute video was distributed on jihadist websites and Twitter, according to the US-based SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors hard boys' online communications. Maguire reportedly left Canada to join the IS group in January 2013. 'This young man is definitely John Douglas' but not the John Douglas that we knew, loved and remember,' a family member told public broadcaster CBC, using Maguire's middle name. Canada's public safety minister, Steven Blaney, urged citizens to be vigilant 'against this terrorist scourge.' Muhammad Robert Heft, a Toronto Moslem leader and outspoken critic of extremism, told the daily Toronto Star the call to arms is unlikely to inspire fresh attacks in Canada. 'He's so delusional and so arrogant that he actually thinks his message is resonating with Moslems in Canada and worldwide,' Heft told the newspaper. 'He says he is supporting Syrians, but isn't he killing the Syrians if they don't submit to their group'' said Heft. 'It's not difficult to deconstruct his theology.' |
