Another Credit To Canada

"Those couple of times he engaged in some provocations, but really the main incident is when he threatened our imam and decided to espouse these extremist views and he did it right in the middle of Friday sermons where no one talks."
Abdulhakim Moalimishak, president, As-Salaam mosque

After we have the sermon and we denounce it unequivocally what happened at the Parliament ... we finished the prayer and he stood up and said [the shooter] is a shahid, or a martyr. He said it in Arabic."
"Maybe half of the congregation stood up and expressed their anger: 'You should not be saying this'."
Mohammed Mostefa, president, Assunnah Muslims Association

Abdulhakim Moalimishak of the As-Salaam south Ottawa mosque spoke for his congregation, that Luqman Abdunnur was reported by them to Ottawa Police. Though not a member of their congregation Mr. Abdunnur visited a few times recently. And was responsible for a few disruptions. He stood before the worshippers on a Friday to speak of the evil done by the administration. It seemed to be his penchant to create disturbances, interrupting the imam. And then a more recent incident occurred when the imam was threatened during the service.

He expressed his opinion that terrorist groups al-Qaeda and al-Shabaab were, in his jihadist mind-set "heroes". He would not, said Mr. Abdunnur, permit the imam to go on denouncing the actions of the groups whom he held in such high esteem, according to Mr. Moalimishak. "He wanted to make public his anger and these desires to undermine our institution", said Mr. Moalimishak, and the end result was that Mr. Abdunnur had, on that occasion, to be physically restrained.

An Islamic States Twitter account posted this photo, identifying the man as the shooter on Parliament Hill as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau

This is the man who, three days following the killing of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo at the National War Memorial by 32-year-old radicalized Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, Mr. Abdunnur, in the sights of the RCMP, was the subject of a pre-arranged Ottawa Police traffic stop, part of the surveillance of his activities. Two days after the shooting, a day before the stop, Mr. Abdunnur had confronted the congregation of the Assunnah Muslims Association by his martyrdom declaration of Zehaf-Bibeau.

Abdunnur arrested

An off-duty police officer happened to be in the congregation as a member and took it upon himself to intervene between the argument being advanced by Mr. Abdunnur at the outraged congregation, removing him from the area. An incident that was duly reported to authorities. And which may have led to his being stopped by police the following day. And this was when 39-year-old Luqman Abdunnur became combative, uttering a Muslim prayer and attacking an officer.

At the time he had been driving a vehicle belonging to the mother of one of Abdunnur's 14 children. He lives on social assistance as no doubt do his multiple sequences of wives and their children. This, just incidentally, is a man who owes the city over $72,000 in traffic offence and other fines.
