The exclusive report below from Global News paints a grim and disturbing picture of what is developing in Canada, and developing rapidly. ISIS arrests are spiking, with youth driving the threat. The problem is so grave that Global News titled its report The Return of ISIS.
Recently, Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, expressed concerns about the terror risk from Canada, and warned Ottawa of “tough conversations” ahead. See HERE.
Canada didn’t suddenly descend to this point. It has been a gradual process.
ISIS jihadis were invited to return to Canada by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who not only set out a welcome mat for them in the name of “diversity and inclusion,” but praised what he claimed could be their future “contributions,” saying:
We know that actually someone who has engaged and turned out from that hateful ideology can be an extraordinarily powerful voice for preventing radicalization in future generations, and young people within the community.
Never did he stop to think about the victims of the Islamic State, nor about their future possible victims.
The woke establishment has been equating opposition to open-border policies with opposition to all immigration. Canada’s government has encouraged this bizarre thinking.
In 2018, CBN published a telling article, “Canada Becoming a Potential Base for Terrorists to Attack the US.” A year before that, it emerged that dozens of jihadis were walking free in Canada, yet authorities wouldn’t charge them. Leaked documents from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) also showed a greater threat of Islamic terror inside the country than the government was admitting.
Now the power of social media in recruiting youngsters is a growing factor:
According to police and experts, today’s ISIS devotees are younger and more immersed in social media and gaming platforms, where they are connecting with propaganda, recruiters and fellow extremists.
The Canadian government has been zealous in cracking down on online “hate,” specifically the kind that the Trudeau government thinks would contribute to “Islamophobia” or opposition to woke dogma, while it has virtually ignored the radicalization of youth.
As for America, Homan’s concerns about the growing threat from the northern border are warranted. America has a compounded problem, thanks to the Biden administration with its wide-open southern border, an open invitation to whatever jihad group or drug lord who wants to come into the U.S. and set up shop. Biden and Trudeau have much in common.
“The Return of ISIS: ISIS arrests are spiking in Canada and youths are driving the resurgence,” by Stewart Bell and Jeff Semple, Global News, November 18, 2024:
On June 15, 2023, police searched a Calgary home and found an ISIS flag, three knives, bomb-making instructions and ideological tracts on killing gay men.
“I’m a member of ISIS,” the owner of the materials, Zakarya Rida Hussein, had written on Snapchat as he planned an attack during the city’s month-long Pride celebrations.
“Tomorrow my mission begins. It’s pride month.”
Since then, Canadian police have disrupted ISIS-related plots in Ottawa and Toronto, and arrested a man in Quebec who allegedly planned a mass shooting in New York.
ISIS is back.
Five years after it was defeated in Syria, the ultra-violent terror group is on the rebound, and poses what a Canadian government report calls a “resurgent threat to the West.”
A Global News investigation has linked the so-called Islamic State to a surging number of investigations across Canada: Twenty suspects have been arrested this year and last, compared with just two in 2022.
During that same period, four more ISIS supporters were convicted in Canadian courts for crimes committed earlier.
Fueling the ISIS revival are youths like Hussein. Twenty-years-old when he was arrested, he is typical of the latest wave of would-be ISIS terrorists….

Switzerland has banned hamas and hezbollah, labeling them terrorists and saying anyone joining or aiding them will be sent up for 20 years. Authorities there are also concerned with young people joining isis and planning terror.
They have arrested a “15 year old who was calling himself a soldier of the caliphate.”
“Switzerland Takes a Hardliner Stance Against Terrorism

“Swiss security authorities remain on a high alert this year as a result of the mounting terrorism threats by the Islamic State against European countries according to a statement by Christian Dussey, the director of the Swiss Federal Intelligence Service (FIS) last August.
“The Islamist terrorist group “hadn’t done this for a long time. It’s really given a new impetus to the movement, multiplied by social networks”, said Dussey in an interview for the Switzerland’s Daily Tages Anzieger.
Around 30 arrests have been made across Europe of Islamic State suspects planning attacks the first 8 months of the year alone. Switzerland was not spared by the moves and influence of ISIS. Last March, a 15 year old teenager who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State stabbed a Jewish man in Zurich. The teenager called himself a “Soldier” of the alleged “Caliphate.”
The recent moves by Islamist groups warranted more scrutiny and even an update to the national Swiss counterterrorism strategy that was set in 2015 and updated last May. The updated strategy has enabled more freedoms for the police units in handling terrorism “

Canada: ISIS arrests spiking, with youths driving the threat
…………………………………………………………
And yet, just yesterday there was some idiot on Quora claiming that ISIS had not been a threat–or even in existence–since 2015…
Gurek says
They say that because they want to whitewash the horrors of the Islamic state. These people are ignoring what ISIS currently does in Africa. And sadly we are not able to do something to help Africans. It’s up to the governments that should help them. I personally would go to Africa but I’m afraid their governments would put me in jail or worse if I tried to help their people.
