Canada Terror Watch: Hateful Chatter Behind the Veil
The Globe and Mail: Hateful chatter behind the veil
Key suspects’ wives held radical views, Web postings reveal
MISSISSAUGA — When it came time to write up the premarital agreement between Zakaria Amara and Nada Farooq, Ms. Farooq briefly considered adding a clause that would allow her to ask for a divorce.
She said that Mr. Amara (now accused of being a leader of the alleged terror plot that led to the arrests of 17 Muslim men early this month) had to aspire to take part in jihad.
“[And] if he ever refuses a clear opportunity to leave for jihad, then i want the choice of divorce,” she wrote in one of more than 6,000 Internet postings uncovered by The Globe and Mail.
Wives of four of the central figures arrested last month were among the most active on the website, sharing, among other things, their passion for holy war, disgust at virtually every aspect of non-Muslim society and a hatred of Canada. The posts were made on personal blogs belonging to both Mr. Amara and Ms. Farooq, as well as a semi-private forum founded by Ms. Farooq where dozens of teens in the Meadowvale Secondary School area chatted. The vast majority of the posts were made over a period of about 20 months, mostly in 2004, and the majority of those were made by the group’s female members.
This story is an interesting glimpse into the lives of young jihadists allowed in the multicultural world of Canada to derive their own radical Islamic culture and value systems.

Captain Ed has Jihad — A Family Affair
The portrait painted by the G&M are of an angry subculture that praises oppression and opposes the freedoms that they exploit to pursue their recruitment to jihad. It also paints them as rather naive and foolish; they obviously never considered the trail they left behind them of missives and screeds that support the image of militant jihadis. They may not mind that image, but their husbands will find it very inconvenient when they come to trial.
So, are these wannabe jihadists or jihadists in training? Whichever, the Canadian authorities will soon deal harshly for a Canadian terrorist plot of Jihad.
More on the series on the Globe and Mail later and the Canadian culture of Jihad.
Stay tuned……
