Opinion (an Update Link March 30th, 2008 to this story is in my Comments section)

Certainly a disturbing turn of events when 17 Canadian men, followers of Radical Islam who also had global ties with Jihadists to commit mass murder, were caught with tons of explosives and weapons, hell bent on mass killing of anyone and everyone, including an attack on Parliament, with the goal of beheading the Prime Minister. Mainstream moderate Muslims were clearly embarrassed as stated in the Canadian media and horrified to see this happen in Canada, though some Muslims were reportedly not surprised.
What is clearly missing in this story is the Terrorist cells affiliation with Radical Islam in Canada, which was allowed to proliferate in this Country under our "Nancy Multicultural Diversity Laws" which protect the rights of those bent on destroying Canadian Society.
Ironically, these Multiculturally Diverse rights afforded Radical Islam in Canada are the same Multicultural Diverse Rights are classed as offensive in which our fighting Canadian and American men and women in Afghanistan are fighting and dying to eliminate from the middle eastern landscape. Why is it different there and not here? Perhaps only Made In Canada is allowed as Politicians need them ethnic votes, as they count in Canada and not in far away countries.
The Superior Courts have also included a ban on naming 14 of these accused terrorists , who were charged dead to rights.
Certainly a politically correct oversight by the media. Why the omission is anyones guess? So as a favour in jouranlistic integrity, I will name the accused on behalf of a forgetful politically correct media, because let's face it, my taxes and your taxes are paying to defend these terrorists and as such I want my money's worth and do not subscribe to Superior Courts claim of banning anything I paid for.
Here is a list of the 12 of the 17 adults arrested and charged under the Criminal Code of Canada are:
1. Fahim Ahmad, 21, Toronto;
2. Zakaria Amara, 20, Mississauga, Ont.;
3. Asad Ansari, 21, Mississauga;
4. Shareef Abdelhaleen, 30, Mississauga;
5. Qayyum Abdul Jamal, 43, Mississauga;
6. Mohammed Dirie, 22, Kingston, Ont.;
7. Yasim Abdi Mohamed, 24, Kingston;
8. Jahmaal James, 23, Toronto;
9. Amin Mohamed Durrani, 19, Toronto;
10. Steven Vikash Chand alias Abdul Shakur, 25, Toronto; 11. Ahmad Mustafa Ghany, 21, Mississauga;
12. Saad Khalid, 19, of Eclipse Avenue, Mississauga.
There were also five youths, who cannot be named, were also charged, but rest assured I will find out who they are.
To refresh readers memory, this terrorist cell operated terrorist training camps in Ontario, only to be discovered eventually, with arrests made in 2006. I will follow this story vigorously with up to the minute updates once the trial gets underway in May.
Update: Here is a link on shocking developments so far March 30, 2008
BRAMPTON -- Details from a chilling homegrown terrorist training camp videotape shows one man urging followers to embrace their "life's mission" and strike -- even if it means torture or death.
The evidence of terrorist indoctrination and a deadly plot to take innocent lives and attack Canadian targets emerged publicly yesterday as the first of 15 suspects went on trial.
The Crown outlined the "shocking and sensational" details in court where a young offender faces a charge of participating in a terrorist activity. The arrest was the result of an anti-terrorist sweep across the GTA in 2006.
