Spotlight on Montreal college after students accused of trying to join foreign jihadists

An east-end Montreal college is gaining a reputation as a breeding ground for jihadis after four of its students were arrested at the airport Friday, allegedly on the verge of taking off to join an overseas terror group.

The latest arrests bring to 11 the number of Collège Maisonneuve students who since January have either left to join jihadi groups overseas or have been arrested on suspicion of planning to leave.

The four were among 10 students from various CEGEPS — post-secondary institutions unique to Quebec — and high schools arrested at Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport Friday, the college confirmed. They are “suspected of wanting to leave the country to join jihadist groups,” the RCMP said in a statement.

They had their passports confiscated and were released without charge. The police said they spoke to the families and friends of those arrested and the investigation is ongoing.

In January, five Collège Maisonneuve students were among a group of seven Montreal-area youth who left for Syria. Last month, another two of the CEGEP’s students, 18-year-olds Mahdi El Jamali and Sabrine Djermane, were arrested and charged with trying to leave Canada to commit terrorism.

I expected dangerous times for the world once Obama took power, but that drug-addled thug has exceeded all expectations - probably for the first time in his failure of a life.

Not only gun running from Benghazi to the Islamic State terrorists in Syria, also they are busing in Somali Moslems thru Mexico to California in the dark on night with the alleged Homeland Security bus windows covered.

We had freedom. Obama promised Change.
Terrorists were losing heart worldwide. Obama promised Hope.
Obama is the most dangerous enemy our country has ever faced, but he occasionally keeps his word.

For those who are not familiar with CEGEP’s, it is a two year school between HS and what we in the US call college. In Quebec, HS is three years, not four as in the US and Anglophone Canada. For those students who are going on to university, they enroll in CEGEP, which they call college. My daughters attend McGill, both will attend for four years to graduate, while someone from Quebec who attended a CEGEP will only need to attend for three years to graduate.
