Yet another confused muslim

Crazy.

Here he is, a representative of the religion of peace, a religion that
teaches tolerance and understanding, a religion where the adherents must
seek knowledge, and he's calling for death and destruction using nothing
more than conspiratorial ignorance.

I guess he's just another muslim who has completely misunderstood his
religion.

I mean, it *can't* be anything else, right?

TORONTO - A Toronto-area man has been posting messages on the Internet
supporting attacks against Canadian soldiers on Canadian soil, drawing the
attention of RCMP national security investigators.

Police have advised the Bangladeshi-Canadian that he is under investigation
for incitement and facilitating terrorism after he repeatedly called the
killing of Canadian troops in Canada "legitimate" and "well deserved."

<...>

Although Mr. Hossain claimed in one of his communications with the National
Post that he made the comments in a private online chat room, the messages
can easily be viewed by anyone using a simple Google search.

"I hope the German brothers were gonna blow up US-German bases in their
country. We should do that here in Canada as well. Kill as many western
soldiers as well so that they think twice before entering foreign countries
on behalf of their Jew masters," he wrote.

"Any and all Western soldiers getting prepared to enter Muslim nations like
Afghanistan or Iraq should be legitimate targets by any and all Islamic
militants either in the attacked nations or in the western nations --if
there were any planned attacks against Canadian/ American soldiers by
'Muslim militants' in Canadian soil, I'd support it," he added.

"Canadian soldiers in Canadian soil who are training to go to Afghanistan or
Iraq are legitimate targets to be killed. ? Now it is POSSIBLE AND
LEGITIMATE!! ... believe me, if we could have enough of our soldiers killed,
then we'd be forced to withdrawn from Afghanistan."

In addition, he singles out Jews, writing: "When do I get to shoot a few
Jews down for attempting to blow up dozens of mosques in America right after
9-11 ? why f---ing target the Americans when the Jews are better?"

The author of the messages is a Mississauga university student in his
mid-twenties who claims to know the infamous Khadr family and several of the
men arrested in Toronto in June, 2006, on terrorism conspiracy charges. He
confirmed to the National Post that he was the author of the postings but
later declined to comment further on the advice of his lawyer. While he
writes that he approves of attacking Canadian troops, he also says he would
not do so himself.

Despite being visited by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and RCMP
and told he was under investigation, Mr. Hossain has continued to post
messages approving of attacks on Canadian troops.

Saying anti-war protests "will do sh$$," he describes a "mass casualty"
attack on the home-front as "a well considered option" and "the best way to
compel western soldiers to get out of Afghanistan/Iraq."

Such an attack "would be fantastic and would get the job done," he writes.
"If someone gets the bright idea of committing such a wonderful act, it's
NOT my responsibility in any way, shape or form."

He wrote, "I enjoy watching the blood flow from the western troops," and
during Defence Minister Peter MacKay's Christmas week visit to Kandahar, he
wrote: "I pray that the Taliban kill our Mackay motherf---er."

In other postings, he wishes "a merry 9-11, and I wish y'all many more merry
9-11s"; says "the Jews are literally the most treacherous nation on the face
of the Earth"; says "I hate the Jews"; and claims "the filthy Jews carried
out 9-11."

He rails at police, saying "you can't charge me for possessing a thought"
and writes that he "honestly got a kick outta pissing off the RCMP ? HAHAHA
? i was laughing my ass off for provoking the RCMP."

"So what we are in the presence of is a ranter, informed by the usual
conspiratorial views that are unfortunately part and parcel of extremist
Islamist thought -- especially the core anti-Semitic notion of a giant
Jewish conspiracy," said Professor Wesley Wark, a Canadian security expert.

<...>

After posted messages saying he was under police investigation, but he said
that "cheerleading" for Muslim insurgents in Afghanistan "is every Muslim's
right."

Although he did not tone down his rhetoric, he did make one change: His
comments are now sometimes followed by a disclaimer that says he is not
inciting violence but merely "suggesting" scenarios and he is not
responsible if they actually happen.

"I don't see how the right to free speech includes deliberate incitement to
violence," said Bruce Hoffman, a Georgetown University professor and a
leading international expert on terrorism, after reading the postings.

"One would think that [Canadian soldiers] are owed more than, 'Well, I don't
think we can secure a conviction.' How demoralizing is it for soldiers to
find out that people are openly advocating terrorism against them and yet
the government who they serve won't do anything about it because it's either
too much trouble or there's no guarantee they're going to succeed?"

Prof. Hoffman said the postings remind him of the material that incited
Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. "Reading those, I was wondering, is
there any Western country that would tolerate people posting things talking
about staging attacks like this?"

<...>

***

It always makes me wonder what kind of persecution this *** would find
in Saudi Arabia, or Iran, or even Egypt, if he was trying to abuse free
speech rights by calling for the killing of soldiers from those countries,
all the while enjoying and benefitting from those countries hospitality.
