Nice to see a Muslim help defend his country from his own community. Muslim leaders wish he would have "reconsidered" helping the Canadian government. Apparently they would have preferred a terrorist attack. Disgraceful as usual....
A self-confessed Muslim fundamentalist has told the BBC about his police informant role in helping to stop an alleged terrorist attack.
Canadian Mubin Shaikh befriended men who were allegedly plotting truck bombs in the downtown area of Toronto.
It is also claimed they discussed storming the parliament in revenge for Canada's military role in Afghanistan.
In his interview, Mr Shaikh tells the BBC how CSIS was interested in "the standing I had in the community and the connections I had" and asked him if he would work with them.
He agreed and was tasked with befriending a group that spies had been monitoring in extremist internet chatrooms.
In one chatroom, a London-based extremist calling himself Abu Dujanah tells one of the Toronto group that al-Qaeda is a "transnational university that specialises in the science of jihad and the production of mujahideen."
Abu Dujanah was a name used by Tariq Al Daour, a UK resident.
He was recently convicted in an unrelated British counter-terrorism case of incitement to murder over the internet.
When some of the group allegedly tried to buy three tonnes of ammonium nitrate, police moved to arrest 17 men and youths.
Muhammad Robert Heft, who runs P4E, a Toronto charity for Muslim converts, said: "I personally believe that Mubin Sheikh had good intentions and I personally believe he was trying to keep Canada safe.
"Had he really thought about it, and realised that the Muslim community is so sceptical of the intentions of people out there, he would have reconsidered and not taken the money in order to keep the Muslim community on his side." (for thwarting a major terror attack, he is labeled a traitor by Muslim "leaders", and they wonder why we don't trust them -ed.)
But Mr Shaikh told the BBC he could have earned a great deal more and didn't do it for the money
W Zip
Yes, its me. I share the same sentiment: I guess the Muslims would be happier if bombs went off and our women were beat up in the streets.
As to the money - what makes me laugh is that I worked undercover FULL TIME for almost 10 MONTHS - I guess I was supposed to do that free of charge. Should I have billed the local Mosque to pay my bills? lol...
I hope the Muslim community is paying attention to what is happening in court...evidence has a funny way of making people look guilty. ;)
