Canada: Toronto Mosque Vandalized In "Revenge" Attack

News from Reuters, the National Post, Canoe News, News.com, the Toronto Star and the Globe & Mail reports that following Friday's arrest of 17 Muslims, all suspected of plotting terror attacks in Canada, a mosque has been vandalized. The motivation appears to be revenge against the Muslim community.

The mosque is based in Toronto's West End. Overnight, one lone individual appears to have been the culprit. The mosque of the International Muslim Organization of Toronto, which is based in Rexdale Boulevard in Etobicoke was attacked in the early hours this morning. An estimated $15,000 dollars' damage was caused, by someone using an axe or a hammer.

The mosque, one of the biggest in Toronto was attacked previously, when one of its windows was smashed immediately after 9/11, 2001.

Omar Farouk, the president of the International Muslim Organization, said: "I am very saddened that someone would do this."

Then, employing taqqiya (Muslim lying) Farouuk said: "Islam preaches peace." If Islam did preach peace, the so-called prophet of Islam would never have gone to war or had those who criticized him beheaded. "For us, to kill one person is like killing all of mankind."

Yeah, sure. Anyway, it appears that the vandal (concerned citizen?) got injured in his window-smashing spree when a large piece of glass appears to have fallen from one of the windows.

Subsequent smashed windows have blood spatter upon them. Samples of the blood were taken away to for analysis. The saboteur also left footprints in gardens beneath the mosque's windows.

Such news is trivial compared to the potential attacks which had been planned by Islamist terrorists upon Canadian soil.

Before the arrests on Friday, June 2, the Canadian spy agency, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) hinted that attacks were being planned on Monday (29 May). Associated Press in the UK Guardian quoted a statement by Jack Hooper, deputy director of the CSIS.

Hooper told a Senate committee hearing that there were people living in Canada who fought with al-Qaeda during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.

Canada has 2,000 soldiers based in Afghanistan, and in May, Parliament voted to maintain a military presence in the country until 2009.

Hooper said: "When we talk about the homegrown terrorist phenomenon, these are people ... in most instances who are Canadian citizens. A lot of them were born here. A lot of them who were not born here emigrated to Canada with their parents at a very young age."

"I can tell you that all of the circumstances that led to the London transit bombings... are resident here and now in Canada," he said.

The Senate Standing Committee on National Security and Defense which Hooper was addressing was discussing Canada's military mission in Afghanistan, and how it related to domestic security.

The Committee chairman, Senator Colin Kenny said that Britain's experience of 7/7 (the bombings on London Transport on 7th July las year, which killed 52 civilians) was a wake-up call for Canada, which had problems with home-grown terrorists.

Kenny said of the 7/7 assailants: "They'd been born in country. They had all of the slang and comfort with the culture that you and I have, and yet, boom, here they are committing terrorist acts."

In separate news, a suicide bomber in a truck loaded with explosives attempted to destroy a convoy of Canadian military vehicles in Khandahar, Afghanistan, today. The truck blew up and killed its driver, but no Canadians were injured. Members of the Afghanistan citizenry, however, were hurt by flying shrapnel from the blast.

UPDATE: The Pakistan Times has its own unique spin on the terror case. It claims in its headline that "Police planted evidence: Terrorists' arrest in Toronto was a sting operation. No evidence suspects planned to attack US."
