An Alberta judge has granted an extradition order for a man facing terrorism charges in the United States after he allegedly helped pay for his relatives to travel to Syria. Abdullahi Ahmed Abdullahi, 33, is accused of being part of a January 2014 jewelry store robbery in Edmonton to fund the Syrian trips…..Abdullahi shouted in court after the decision came down, but his comments couldn’t be heard in the public gallery. His family and friends were visibly distraught.
Abdullahi robbed the jewelry store in order to raise money for Islamic State jihadis. His family should be distraught about his jihad activity. Abdullahi was recruited for the jihad as a youngster by his older cousins: “two Edmonton brothers who died in 2014 fighting for ISIS in Syria spent years grooming their younger cousins in the United States for violent jihad.” Among what Abdullah was taught was the glories of martyrdom:
“Your first drop of blood, all your sins get forgiven.”
This doctrine confounds far too many Westerners who cannot fathom its meaning or believe that some Muslims take it seriously, yet while Western leaders are stumped by this dangerous mentality, Canada is continuously and increasingly exposed to it, due to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s big welcome to everyone, including Islamic State jihadis.
“Man charged in Edmonton robbery ordered extradited to U.S. on terrorism charges,” Canadian Press, May 31, 2018:
EDMONTON — An Alberta judge has granted an extradition order for a man facing terrorism charges in the United States after he allegedly helped pay for his relatives to travel to Syria.
Abdullahi Ahmed Abdullahi, 33, is accused of being part of a January 2014 jewelry store robbery in Edmonton to fund the Syrian trips.
“I am satisfied that the test … is met,”Court of Queen’s Bench Justice John Little said Thursday. “And I am satisfied that Mr. Abdullahi is the person sought by the United States.
“I therefore order his committal into custody to await surrender.”
Abdullahi shouted in court after the decision came down, but his comments couldn’t be heard in the public gallery. His family and friends were visibly distraught.
The order still needs to be approved by the federal justice minister and Abdullahi will be given the chance to make his case to the minister. He also has 30 days to appeal before he would be turned over to U.S. authorities.
In a U.S. indictment, Abdullahi was charged with conspiring to provide — and with providing — material support to terrorists…..
