Two Quebec men arrested in firebombings that targetted Jewish centres
CP ^ | April 13, 2007

Two Montreal men have been arrested and charged with arson in connection to a series of firebombings, including attacks on a Jewish school and community centre.

Omar Bulphred, 24, and Azim Ibragimov, 22, were arrested and charged Friday in Montreal.

The pair are also charged with uttering threats and possession of arson materials.

They're scheduled to return to court next week for a bail hearing.

A homemade bomb was thrown at the Ben Weider Jewish Community Centre in Cote-des-Neiges earlier this month during Passover.

Last September a similar device was thrown through the front window of a Jewish boys school and a couple of weeks later a car was bombed.

No one was injured in any of the incidents.

Police said the two men could also face charges in an alleged kidnapping plot.

The Quebec Region of the Canadian Jewish Congress expressed relief that arrests have been made in connection to the incidents.

"We are relieved that it appears that they acted as individuals and not as members of an organized group," Jeffrey Boro, president, said in a statement.

Boro said the crimes were hate-motivated, violent and racist, and applauded police for their investigation.

"We cannot concede even the smallest degree of success to the destructive ambitions of those who seek to promote hatred and contempt for others," he said.

Possibly Amish, having wandered into Quebec from central Pennsylvania.

Oh I know I'm relieved to see yet another case of anunorganized cell of mohameden fascists acting all on their own.

Thank Heaven they weren't 'organized'. Mr. Boro may be a very nice person, but he's obviously not real bright.

I bet they're what the BBC likes to euphemize as 'Asians'...

on an unrelated note, I did a search on Google for Omar Bulphred and got 0 matches, and no alternative search suggestions. I didn't know that was even a possible result anymore for anything other than a double digit length string of random consonants. bulphred on its own got only 1 result, and that was for someone else.

The Montreal Gazette has removed all doubts:

--Snip--

Jeffrey Boro, president of the Canadian Jewish Congress, said police told him the two suspects are Canadian-born Muslims of Russian descent.

“That makes it very disconcerting for those who live here,” he said. “We’re raising people here with such hatred in their hearts for people they’ve never met or had anything to do with.”

He said police had informed the CJC they’d found material during the investigation that suggested the crimes were motivated by hate toward Jewish people.

Sarah Elgazzar, of the Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations, expressed dismay the accused are Muslims and hoped that fact wouldn’t increase the animosity between the Jewish and Muslim communities in Montreal.

“Religiously speaking, Jews and Muslims should be so close,” she said. “Sure, there are differences, and there are problems in other parts of the world, but that doesn’t justify these kinds of attacks.

“Most Muslims would never even think of doing something like that; it’s horrible.”

From the Religion Of Peace, no doubt.

“We’re raising people here..."

So who does this idiot mean when he says "we"?

Muzzies target Jews for violence and this Jewish spokes-yutz blames Canadian society as a whole?

Meshuga!

“Religiously speaking, Jews and Muslims should be so close,” she said. “Sure, there are differences, and there are problems in other parts of the world, but that doesn’t justify these kinds of attacks.

The following justifies the attacks:

HADITH Sahih Bukhari [4:52:176] Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.' "

HADITH Sahih Bukhari [4:52:177] Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

HADITH Sahih Bukhari [4:56:791] Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The Jews will fight with you, and you will be given victory over them so that a stone will say, 'O Muslim! There is a Jew behind me; kill him!' "

HADITH Sahih Muslim [41:6981] Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
You will fight against the Jews and you will kill them until even a stone would say: Come here, Muslim, there is a Jew (hiding himself behind me); kill him.

HADITH Sahih Muslim [41:6982] Ubaidullah has reported this hadith with this chain of transmitters (and the Words are):
"There is a Jew behind me."

HADITH Sahih Muslim [41:6983] Abdullah b. 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
You and the Jews would fight against one another until a stone would say: Muslim, here is a Jew behind me; come and kill him.

HADITH Sahih Muslim [41:6984] Abdullah b. 'Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:
The Jews will fight against you and you will gain victory over them until the stone would say: Muslim, here is a Jew behind me; kill him.

HADITH Sahih Muslim [41:6985] Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

“Most Muslims would never even think of doing something like that; it’s horrible.”

So, how do we interpret "most?" 99% or more like 51%? The answer is somewhere between but I'd bet it's closer to the 51%.

“Two Montreal men “
A euphemism no doubt for “member of the ideology of death and destruction”.
Well, we knew it. Whenever the media deliberately omit significant details about perpetrators, we know what to fill in.

Chechens perhaps? If so, I would suggest Canadian freepers keep a weather eye out, these scum like schools...and not in a good way.
