Over the past two years, twenty individuals in Canada have been arrested over ISIS-related charges.
The data comes from Global News, after an extensive investigation into the alarming trend that found the majority of the suspects are teenagers or young men.
Comparatively, only two individuals were charged with ISIS-related offences in 2022.
During this same time period, four individuals have been convicted of ISIS-related crimes.
One of the convicted men, known only as Hussein, issued death threats to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s United Conservative Party (UCP), where the twenty-year-old wrote on TikTok and Snapchat to Smith’s UCP, stating, “I’m gonna do a terrorist attack on you guys, I’ll kill each and every one of you … I’ll blow you guys up with explosive.”
Another arrest came in September, when the RCMP announced they had arrested Muhammad Shahzeb Khan from Ormstown, Quebec. Khan was allegedly in the process of planning a deadly attack targeting Jewish citizens in New York.
Eldidi father and son
The previous month, in August, a 62-year-old Toronto resident, Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, was arrested for planning a terrorist attack in Canada, along with his son.
The Eldidi father somehow managed to immigrate to Canada despite the fact that, before he was granted citizenship, there was video evidence proving his involvement in dismembering an individual on behalf of ISIS. Moreover, the Eldidi son did not have Canadian status.
The Liberal government later attempted to place the blame on the former Harper Conservative government.
Record-high immigration and asylum claims
This startling data comes amid record-high levels of immigration targets that were set and achieved by the Trudeau Government, as well as a surge in asylum claims.
In 2017, the Canadian Immigration Union president, Jean-Pierre Fortin, told the Liberals that more than one thousand more staff members were needed at the US/Canada border, claiming it was “out of control.”
As it happens, this came just one month after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sacrificed Canada’s border security in exchange for virtue signalling points, when he told the world everyone is welcome to come to Canada, triggering a flood of illegal border crossings. Trudeau’s statement came shortly after US President Donald Trump was under fire by mainstream media for issuing a temporary ban on citizens from certain countries — predominantly Muslim countries — from entering the US.
