Nice how they are so sure that these people are Israeli "agents", and are tossing them out, while they took in Ahmed Ressam as a "refugee", put him on welfare and kept him on despite 3 FELONY ARRESTS, and were clueless while he flew to Afganistan to train with Al Queda, return to Canada, obtain a phony baptismal certificate in Quebec, obtain a phony Canadian passport, and then entered the United States complete with orders (and explosives) to bomb the Los Angeles International Airport for the Millenium.

Canadian Highway to Terror

Canada's refugee system, long used by terrorists as a means of gaining access to North America, has once again shown why it poses a major security risk to the continent.

The latest Islamist miscreant to take advantage of this criminally lax system that makes Canada look like one of the biggest sucker nations in the world is Abderraouf Jdey, whose name appeared earlier this month in an FBI alert as a possible terrorist threat. Jdey first came to the attention of authorities on a videotape found in the home of Osama bin Laden's security chief in Afghanistan, recording a suicide message and promising to die in battle against the infidels. Originally from Tunisia, Jdey came to Canada in 1991 and filed a refugee claim and received Canadian citizenship in 1995.

Unknown to many people, when terrorist crackpots like Jdey arrive in Canada and say the magic word "refugee", then, like Ali Baba before his cave, the door opens wide to a relatively safe hideout and a room full of riches. Besides monthly welfare payments, the terrorist refugee claimant is instantly entitled to free health and dental care, housing and legal representation, thanks to Canadian taxpayers. But most importantly for a terrorist, once that claim has been made, it is almost impossible to have him removed him from the country.

The best proof of this is Mahmoud Mohammed Issa Mohammed, a former Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorist and convicted murderer. Mohammed attacked an Israeli airliner at the Athens airport in 1968, killing one person, and only served one year in jail, before he was released in an exchange. He lied his way into Canada in 1988 and filed a refugee claim that was rejected. However, the convicted terrorist is still here 15 years later, having filed more than 30 appeals. Mohammed currently runs a candy store in Ontario and is still appealing his case, which has cost the Canadian taxpayer about $3 million dollars so far. His deportation is postponed until he exhausts all legal avenues, which probably means never.

Mohammed is not an isolated case. Having a criminal record for terrorism, or other offenses, is no obstacle to staying in Canada. The National Post, a Canadian national newspaper, ran an article in 2001, in which it identified 17 al-Qaeda operatives, based in Canada, who had been convicted of terrorist offenses in other countries.

However, the most famous Canadian refugee claimant/terrorist was Ahmed Ressam...

You're quite welcome!

Clearly the Israeli "art students" are performing some sort of espionage. But why would they be concentrating on the DEA?

[American in Israel]

Wow, the Mossad must be in complete dissaray if their agents have to hawk paintings to eat while on foreign duty.

Guess they should just apply for welfare like the terrorists do, oh wait, jews and citizens need not apply...

[lorrainer]

Thanks again! What a weird read!

Just how many Israeli Jehovah's Witnesses are there, anyway? </sarc>

[SJackson]

Thanks for the ping. I look forward to his followup column.

[WillowyDame]

what a weird read is RIGHT!!

[White Eagle]

Why would Israel bother having 9 spies in Canada? Unless, of course, it's a plot to research hockey in case Israel wants to field an olympic team for the Winter Olympics...
