Canadian youths recruited by al-Shabab

Possibly 30 Somali youth from Toronto have been recruited by al Qaida linked al Shabaab to fight jihad over in Somalia. Said Omar, a spokesman for Toronto's Khalid bin Walid mosque hasn't heard of any youths going to Somalia and added "We are a peace-loving congregation, law-abiding citizens, who just want to live peacefully with our Canadian neighbours and friends,".

This is the same mosque that curses Jews and Christians behind closed doors. Eight women from the mosque had sued UPS for racial discrimination.

A leader in Canada's Somalian community is dismissing reports of young people being recruited by an al-Qaeda-linked militia to fight in Somalia, despite evidence it is occurring in the United States and elsewhere.

Said Omar, a spokesman for Toronto's Khalid bin Walid mosque, which mainly serves the city's Somalian population, said he hasn't heard about any such recruitment efforts.

"We are a peace-loving congregation, law-abiding citizens, who just want to live peacefully with our Canadian neighbours and friends," Omar said.

However, a senior federal government official with knowledge of Canada's security services has told CBC News that Somali-Canadian young men have indeed joined the al-Shabab militia.

Well, well, well. And listen to all the so-called Moderate Muslims covering their asses and making excuses for their terrorist home boys.
