TORONTO (Reuters) - A young Canadian of Egyptian origin acted as a mole to help authorities unravel an alleged al Qaeda-inspired plot to bomb buildings in downtown Toronto, CBC television said on Friday. ... "He really felt, as a loyal Muslim Canadian, like he owed Canada something," a former associate told the program. "And it's not surprising to see that he did that for the cause of Canada."

I'm sure this report won't jeopardies the life of any young Canadians of Egyptian origin. Could they have included his address while they were at it?

"A young Canadian of Egyptian origin "

At least they didn't post the guy's name and address.

I'm sure no one else (such as Islamic extremists in Canada) will come to the same conclusions we did.

We could probably do some research and come up with a list of 300 names. If they gave his precise age...we could trim that down to 30 guys. And if they gave the description of eastern Canada or western Canada...then down to 15 guys. The bad guys know who this guy is already...so my guess is that he will be relocated to the Yukon Territory soon anywhere...where there he will just say he is of American Indian heritage and everyone will believe him.

If I had any Egyptians in my Canadian terror rings right now, I'd behead them.

Just sayin'. The media really are stupid.

A recent terrorist trial, and conviction, of an Islamic terrorists in New York City brought out the extent to which police have infiltrated Moslem communities in order to uncover terrorist plots. While most of this counter-terrorist activity within Moslem communities is kept secret, enough information has leaked out to make it clear that it's no accident that the United States has not suffered another terrorist attack since September 11, 2001.

There is an extensive informant network within Moslem communities all over the United States. The FBI was pleasantly surprised right after September 11, 2001, by the number of calls they got from American Moslems, reporting suspicious events in their communities, or volunteering to keep an eye on things. It turned out that there was a substantial number of American Moslems, most of them recent immigrants (legal and illegal) that were pro al Qaeda. These attitudes had been causing distress among American Moslems since the 1990s. There had been violence, and even some murders, as the Islamic radicals tried to take control of Mosques, and other Moslem immigrant organizations.
