Canadian government issues warning about ‘extremist’ attacks on crowds, inspired by Hamas-Israel conflict

With Ramadan beginning next month, Canada and all Westerners need to be vigilant. Despite Leftist reports highlighting the “diversity” of celebrations of Islam’s holiest month, with the focus on fasting, iftar dinners, private prayer and the like, a critical element is almost always missing from such reports: Ramadan is also the month of jihad:

“Ramadan is not a month of laziness but rather a month of activity, of effort, and of hard work, and as it also was in the life of the Prophet, a month of jihad, conquest, and victory.” — Palestinian Authority Supreme Sharia Judge and Presidential Advisor Mahmoud Al-Habbash

“The Prophet [Muhammad] entered the great Battle of Badr during Ramadan… In the month of Ramadan, in the 8th year of the Hijra, the Prophet and the Muslims conquered Mecca… The Prophet did not say… ‘now it’s Ramadan, people are fasting, let’s delay it to after Ramadan’… Ramadan is [now]… as it also was in the life of the Prophet, a month of Jihad, conquest, and victory.”  Mahmoud Al-Habbash  

“Ramadan is the pious month of ‘Jihad-o-Qital’ (Jihad and killing). Those who attain martyrdom while waging Jihad, doors of heaven remain open.” — Maulana Bashir Ahmad Khaki

The Canadian government’s Integrated Terrorist Assessment Centre (ITAC) has now issued a warning that “extremists” who are “motivated by the Israel-Hamas conflict could attack crowds at events in Canada.” The ITAC released the information in “a series of strategic intelligence briefs issued in the wake of the Oct. 7.” While the Liberal government of Canada has downplayed the truth about jihadist-related threats, and instead promoted the “Islamophobia” subterfuge, the jihad threat has increased. Ramadan 2024 will have particular significance, since it follows what jihadis call Operation Al Aqsa Flood (October 7). Meanwhile, jihadist water carriers join in on the pro-Hamas zeal.

Jihad is prescribed in Islamic texts:

I asked Allah’s Apostle, “O Allah’s Apostle! What is the best deed?” He replied, “To offer the prayers at their early stated fixed times.” I asked, “What is next in goodness?” He replied, “To be good and dutiful to your parents.” I further asked, what is next in goodness?” He replied, “To participate in Jihad in Allah’s Cause.” I did not ask Allah’s Apostle anymore and if I had asked him more, he would have told me more. Sahih Bukhari Vol 4, Book 52, Number 41

“Let those who sell the life of this world for the next fight in the way of Allah. Whoever fights in the way of Allah, whether he is killed or victorious, on him we will bestow a great reward..” Quran 4:74

“When your Lord inspired the angels, I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then strike the necks and strike their fingertips.” Quran 8:12

“Government threat report warns about attacks in Canada inspired by Hamas-Israel conflict,” by Stewart Bell and Mercedes Stephenson, Global News, February 23, 2024:

The government’s terrorist threat assessment agency is warning that extremists motivated by the Israel-Hamas conflict could attack crowds at events in Canada.

In a series of strategic intelligence briefs issued in the wake of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, the analysts cautioned about mass violence spilling into this country.

The Integrated Terrorist Assessment Centre (ITAC) predicted attacks could target protests, cultural centres, diplomatic posts “or other symbols of Israeli or Palestinian interests in Canada.”

Such an attack would likely be carried out by a “radicalized lone actor” using readily available weapons, ITAC wrote in the briefs circulated last October and released to Global News.

“It is possible that ideologically and religiously motivated violent extremists and lone actors may be triggered by events and mobilize to violence and conduct a mass casualty attack at large gatherings,” ITAC wrote in a brief on the Canadian implications of the conflict.

ITAC is a federal government team, composed of members of the security and intelligence community, that assesses threats to Canada…..
