Canada's Home-Grown ISIL Terrorists

"We need to get ready in case they come back sooner than what we had expected."
"The reason why we’re doing all of this is because any information on any individual that could pose a threat to Canadians, we will investigate fully. But it may take time. We may not be in a position, as each and every one of them comes back to Canada, that we’re at that stage where we can arrest them."
"[The RCMP is] looking at what’s out there, what’s been reported, what’s on social media [trying to determine how to use it as evidence]. What can we do with that information? How much of it do we need to corroborate? All of that aspect is key."
"[There are also] pockets of intelligence [that were under discussion with the Crowns]. Here’s what we have. How much can we push? What does it mean for us in laying charges?. That engagement with PPSC [Public Prosecution Service of Canada] has been ongoing."
"Because some of these folks [women and children of ISIL] may come back and we may not have enough to charge them, or it may not be they need to charge them either, but they will require some social services."
"We take care of our own. Basically, they are Canadians and I think it’s our responsibility."

Still from video: ISIL Women and children from Bagruz being transported to Kurdish-controlled holding camps

It's not as though Canadian government security agencies haven't been very well aware that some Canadian Muslim citizens have been taken into custody -- protective custody on the part of Islamic State wives and children -- as the Kurdish-led Syrian Defence Forces mop up the last remaining territory held by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, in the dying days of their dynastic ambitions, a period where the former Islamic Caliphate has shrunk from territory comprising at least a third each of Syria and Iraq, and growing, to its present parlous state of disappearance.

Disappearance only in the sense that the territory Islamic State celebrated as their growing Islamist imperialist caliphate is now defunct. Not that the deathly violent strain of fundamentalist Islam bequeathed to the world by the Prophet Mohammad in the 7th Century as the final rendition of god's omnipresent benevolence for the human race would or could be so readily suppressed. The jihadists held in prisons awaiting repatriation to their countries of origin to be dealt with there as those countries see fit; and the larger majority indigenous to the region, to be dealt with a trifle more expeditiously under their own system of law and justice remain committed to their death cult.

One that they were proud to display in the slick production of videos and magazines celebrating the terrorist exploits in ghoulishly imaginative ways, promoting the horrors of crucifixion, beheadings and any number of ghastly methods of torture preceding death, from drownings to immolations, explosives strapped to victims, or exhibitions of close-range shooting executions. Wholesome sacrifices to Allah as proof of faith; tickets to exaltation and welcome to Paradise as blessed martyrs to the cause. Of course, on the other hand, a few Muslim nations utilize similar means of capital punishment.

These are the psychopathic, soulless, Medieval minds Canada is preparing to receive. And despite the fact that these 'citizens' plotted to illegally leave Canada to join the growing ranks of like-minded cretins who celebrated the brave new world of the caliphate dedicating themselves to all the ritualistic, sadistic, murderous exploits of the group, Canadian authorities staunchly characterize them as Canadians worthy of return. How perfectly sympatico. Accepting their return, but uncertain whether sufficient evidence will be found to appropriately apply justice for the countless slaughtered victims of the caliphate.

As for the women and children to be repatriated, the women who had full knowledge of the desperate straits imposed upon other women, mere Yazidis and their children forced into slavery after having witnessed the butchery of their husbands and sons, placed into the debauched hands of Islamists whom sacred screed justifies having sex slaves and killing wantonly, what kind of moral, just punishment will be meted out to them? Why of course; social services. Canada the good has compassion.

Canada is unprepared for the return of these model citizens, scrambling now in the wake of the SDF taking more Canadians into custody around the last pocket of ISIS territory in northeast Syria, to ensure that the federal police force, the RCMP, shelve the assumption that these monsters were unlikely to come back to Canada. This, despite that the Kurds have awaited patiently action on the part of foreign nations to reclaim their own. It wasn't, in fact, until the United States faulted countries that hadn't moved to repatriate and prosecute their captured ISIS members that Canada roused itself.

Reaching a decision quite unlike that of the United Kingdom whose approach has been to cancel their citizenship. Magic solution ... no citizenship, no return, no worry. Not for Britain, at least. The Kurds can be forgiven for being less sanguine about being left with this wretched dross of humanity. As for Canada whose policy of late until the present was that the government could do nothing because the detainees were in what Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale called a "dangerous and dysfunctional part of the world" where Ottawa had no diplomatic presence, a tactical change took place.

Obviously, this alert Liberal government on the theory that late is better than never, as far as having made plans with respect to the eventual, potential and logical return of Canadian citizens who wore out their role as terrorists with Islamic State, is now rushing -- even as the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in complete disgrace and disarray with internal matters of corruption of the rule of law -- to now chew on this issue. This is the country, not to forget, that endowed Canada's infamous al-Qaeda family's scion Omar Khadr with a $10-million prize for being a Canadian citizen.

So now we have the recently-awakened RCMP preparing for the return of at least a dozen Canadians detained in Syria while Islamic State is in its death throes as a territorial entity. The poison of its ideology not so readily expunged, however. As part of a national strategy now being put in place, police have been detailed to work with prosecutors in preparation of charges and peace bonds against the detainees, the while interacting with 'allies' to manage their return to Canada.

  

The RCMP’s National Security Joint Operations Centre is the fulcrum of the returnee plan, sharing information on Islamists with other federal departments and international allies. Passports of known foreign fighters have been cancelled, so to process their return to Canada they must apply for replacements through a Canadian diplomatic post — a system that will serve to alert the RCMP to their identity and whereabouts, to enable them to direct the return of these Canadian citizens who are the scum of the Earth.

Once released by the Kurds on instruction from Canada, the returnees are likely to cross into Turkey, a reversal of their original entry to Syria. That has resulted in the RCMP negotiating with Turkish authorities to permit the detainees transit through to Canada rather than placing them on trial in Turkish courts. As well, the RCMP has recommended that Turkey not question these Canadians about their Islamic State roles or search their electronic devices, since that might taint evidence required to successfully prosecute them in Canada.

Aha, there we have it! The RCMP is depending on Islamist terrorists who happen also to be Canadian citizens to bring along with them on their return to Canada ample evidence in their possession to enable Canadian authorities to bring them to justice. Typically Canadian expectation. The very fact Canadian authorities believe that these devotees of mayhem and murder are stupid enough to bring along self-incriminating evidence leads one to question the credulity of the RCMP. On the other hand -- they could be right!

The government’s Canada Centre for Community Engagement and Prevention of Violence is supposed to support the “disengagement of extremist travellers, and their families, from violent extremist ideologies.”
