Muslim Association Of Canada Funding Terror Groups

[Anonymous]

No fucking surprise Muslims in Canada/the West support/finance terror.

MONTREAL — One of the country's largest Muslim organizations gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to a Hamas-linked charity, and vocally supported an Egyptian Islamist group, QMI Agency has learned.



The Muslim Association of Canada (MAC), based in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga, Ont., owns or operates at least 20 Islamic schools and 15 mosques in Ontario, Alberta and Quebec.



MAC's website says the group is centred around "holistic educational and spiritual development" and "has no organizational link or affiliation with other organizations."



However, QMI obtained an RCMP search warrant linking the group to IRFAN-Canada, a banned charity group and a listed terrorist organization also based in Mississauga.



The Mounties, citing Canada Revenue Agency disclosure, say: "The Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) provided $296,514 between 2001 and 2010" to IRFAN-Canada.



The Conservative government declared IRFAN-Canada a terrorist group on April 29, 2014 -- one day after the Mounties raided the charity.



The government said "between 2005 and 2009, IRFAN-Canada transferred approximately $14.6-million worth of resources to various organizations associated with Hamas."



Hamas's charter calls for the destruction of Israel.



IRFAN-Canada's Ottawa-based lawyer, Yavar Hameed, had no comment on Tuesday. The group is fighting its terrorist designation in Federal Court.



The Mounties obtained their warrant as part of Project Sapphire, involving surveillance, wiretaps and undercover operatives in the Toronto and Montreal area. The warrant led to a raid on IRFAN's Mississauga headquarters and a Montreal apartment on April 28, 2014. Investigators seized computer files, donation forms, and promotional videos that "demonize Israel."



The RCMP wouldn't say if its investigation is ongoing.



The Muslim Association of Canada bills itself as a "religious, educational, social, charitable and non-profit organization" whose "roots are deeply enshrined in the message of Prophet Mohammed."



However, the 113-page RCMP warrant shows the Mississauga group was under police surveillance for alleged terrorist financing as recently as last year. The warrant mentions an alleged transaction that took place at Al-Radwah Mosque, a MAC facility in north-end Montreal.



"(REDACTED) was observed on March 6, 2014, exiting the MAC location in Montreal carrying an 8 1/2 by 14-inch yellow envelope in his hand," the warrant reads. "It is possible that (REDACTED) is still accepting donations on behalf of IRFAN from the MAC in Montreal."



On the public stage, MAC has spoken out against violence, most recently in October when terrorists killed a soldier at Parliament Hill and another near Montreal.



At the time, MAC said it was "horrified by these acts of violence" and "stand(s) with all Canadians in condemning these attacks."



The group has also condemned violence by Islamic State (ISIS), killing or driving out thousands in Iraq and Syria.



At the same time, MAC has expressed open support for Hamas' ideological forebears, the Muslim Brotherhood, which Egypt considers a terrorist organization. Older versions of MAC's website list the Muslim Brotherhood's founder, Imam Hassan al-Banna, as a major influence.



"MAC ... strives to practice Islam as embodied in the Qur'an and the teachings of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and as understood in its contemporary, comprehensive, and balanced context by the late Imam Hassan Albanna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood," the website previously read.



Last year, as details emerged about the IRFAN charity's links to Hamas, MAC changed its statement. It now simply reads that Al-Banna "had a deep impact on much of the Muslim world."



MAC operates schools in major cities including Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary and Edmonton.



They include Ottawa's Abraar Islamic School, which made headlines in 2005 when Ontario's education ministry began an investigation over a student's anti-Jewish writing project.



A MAC leader met by QMI in November dismissed all of the allegations and even denied he was part of the group.



Lazhar Aissaoui, director of Dar Al-Iman School in Montreal, threatened to call the police when a journalist approached him at the facility.



"There is no Muslim school here belonging to the Muslim Association," Aissaoui claimed.



However, according to Quebec's land register, the Muslim Association of Canada has owned the building that houses the private school since 2002.

It seems that no one is ready to push the panic button on terrorism in Canada. So I will.



Left unchecked, Islamic State, IS, has the potential to expand its reign of terror and cause massive and debilitating effects on the Canadian economy, let alone our democratic way of life. Canadians, including Canadian businesses, are smack in the line of terrorist fire because we appear to have a disproportionate number of homegrown terrorists compared to some other Western countries.



More than 130 people from Canada fled to the Middle East for extremist purposes, some to join IS. Another 80 travelled abroad for extremist purposes and have returned to Canada. The Department of Homeland Security says that less than 100 Americans have left the U.S. to join terrorist groups overseas, mostly in Syria. Given that Canada has 1/10th of the population of the U.S., we incubate proportionately ten times more homegrown terrorists than the U.S. Compared to Australia, Canada had more than triple the number of sympathizers leave our country to support terrorist groups overseas.



Terrorist groups like IS say they intend to make us bleed, physically and financially. The financial hit is the key part of their plan to harm businesses, cripple industries, drain economies and bankrupt governments in the West in order to create chaos so they can forcibly eliminate the rule of law and our values – to establish their own.To harm significant numbers of businesses and cripple industries, terrorists target critical infrastructure and the financial systems.



Once Canadian businesses understand that, wherever they operate, they are the targets of terrorist groups like IS, they can – and will – provide a vital contribution to both the national and international effort against terrorism.



Canadian businesses not only have the deepest and most immediate connections to homegrown terrorists as employers, bankers and other service providers, but they also have well-established ties to trade partners in other countries facing similar threats which can be leveraged for counter-terrorist measures.



Terrorists, including homegrown ones in Canada, cannot survive without access to financial services. More than any other sector, financial services businesses in Canada need to protect the financial system by preventing the financing of terrorism within Canada and externally by preventing the movement of funds to overseas terrorist hotspots. Thus far, they have not done a good enough job in Canada at stopping terrorist financing, particularly businesses that remit funds for hefty fees to countries that are known terrorist-financing safe havens, and the handful of banks that service those remittances overseas. That will have to change because there is too much at stake with an apocalyptic group like IS.



This week, Australia is introducing legislation to identify and prohibit financial transactions overseas to homegrown terrorists who join IS and groups like them and Canada should do the same.



But we also need to close loopholes in the law that exempt modern Internet-based payment methods from our counter-terrorism laws because they allow value and funds to be sent from Canada to terrorist organizations without detection, reporting or supervision.



I'm pushing the terrorism panic button because I know that when our greater proportionate number of homegrown terrorists come home to Canada from fighting alongside IS, they will be more radicalized, more dialed in to their global network and more committed to cause us significant harm.

I am not surprised at all. I've long suspected local Muslims who idolize Isis of going over to train.  I hear about how the dad and oldest sons go for a "vacation" or visit "sick relatives", but they're gone for like 6 months! They come back and somehow they seem different, more "energized", more menacing (?) I don't want to be or get paranoid but I have a couple neighbors who do that every so often. They're whole families are stand offish to other of different cultures and all women are given dirty menacing looks. Maybe I'm just reading too much into that but there's been a lot of "clues" each time and it does have me worried.

I have CBC news on and the prime minister announced a terror crackdown..



Sorry, I do not have any details about what they are going to do.

The government and our airports are fully aware of their sneaky activities and are finally doing something about it. It seems before they were too scared to because it might look like their labeling people for the wrong reasons when they should have cracked down in the first place.

Fuck Islam, before it fucks us(any further). It commands that you and I die. It's not a religion, it's an ideology based on murder. Anyone that openly admits to being a member of that violent cult should not even be allowed to get a transit visa through our country. When the fuck are Westerners going to wake and realize it is incompatible with our liberal values.

All Muslims are slime that use Canada's freedoms as a base to raise money and find recruits to kill us.
