Violent, Tawdry Crimes
In an earlier murder of a teen-aged Iranian-Canadian during a drug deal gone sour, Zakaria Dourhnou was charged because he was found to be cleaning blood from the car used in the killing of Yazdan Ghiasvand Ghiasi, 16, in 2010. The young man had been shot in the heart, then shoved out onto the street, while the car sped away.
Zakaria Dourhnou was just helping out a friend by cleaning the car of evidence.
Eighteen at the time of the murder that took place on Booth near Somerset in Chinatown, he and friend Khaled Wehbe were each charged with accessory after the fact. Their friend, Abdulhamid Wehbe, 20, was charged with second-degree murder.
And now, Zakaria Dourhnou has another serious charge against him, this time a first-degree murder charge along with two charges of assault with a weapon.
This time around, he took a more visibly active role as a getaway driver in a triple shoot-out. One man is dead, two others wounded. The charge of first-degree murder is for the death of Khalid Dorah, 20, for a shooting that took place on Borthwick Avenue.
The weapons assault charge relates to the injuries sustained by the two men who were wounded.
The killer himself has not yet been located. As usual when these things happen, everyone is shocked and grieved that a dear friend or friendly acquaintance has unaccountably left the living. The dead become heroes, their memories to be cherished. Yet again this is another incident involving Muslim youth involved in street drugs.
They seem to find it far more entertaining and exciting, let alone remunerative, to involve themselves in illegally selling drugs, rather than become engaged in anything as pedestrian as earning a decent living for themselves. Living the high life, attending bars and roughing one another up in the after-hours charges their batteries, not a life of boring law-abiding routine.
Young Muslim men appear to be vastly over-represented in these violent, tawdry crimes, from theft to drug-dealing, beatings to outright murder. Their parents should be concerned and asking themselves what might conceivably have gone wrong to fatally attract their sons to lives of crime and violence...

I will begin this note by making it clear that I do not fit in to the demographic you summarized in the concluding bit of this piece.
Yes, there is a pattern beginning to form, However; it illogical to paint all "Muslim Youths" with the same brush. The number of muslim youths and crime is not higher than that of another religious group.
Clearly, both incidents involved the same group of idiotic people. This is an issue beginning to form as a result of this gang.
It is easy to place the blame on a religious group, creating prejudice and stereotypes. But the reality is, that this gang was created in a rough neighbourhood and as the kids are growing into adults the crimes are becoming more serious.
Muslim Youths in better areas of Ottawa have a positive influence on our society, many hold fund-raising events, are attending school/university, and have jobs and are earning a honest living without selling drugs.
Parents (of all religions) should keep an eye out and make sure their children follow the right path.
This is an issue of growing up in rough neighbourhoods around the wrong people, and is NOT AN ISSUE OF "MUSLIM YOUTHS" IN SOCIETY.
