Toronto jihadi Faisal Hussain: ISIS supporter, was known & interviewed by counter-terror police, residences in Afghanistan and Pakistan, neighbors say, “never saw any mental illness”
Did the police delay releasing the name of the jihadi in the Toronto terror attack? Did they brief Muslim leaders who were ready to pounce on the media opportunity with dawah (proselytizing), the ever-ready vicitmization response, and the newest form of cultural jihad — terror-tied orgs fundraising around the victims? The family immediately issued a statement, first and foremost, acquitting Islam and blaming mental illness, although friends and neighbors saw no sign of such illness, “He always was smiling. ”
Mental illness is the get-out-of-jail-free-card for Islamic terrorism. And the enemedia is only to happy to acquit.
Faisal Hussain was an ISIS supporter. He was known to police. They had interviewed him. Police executed a search warrant Monday and were set to hunt for what they were told could be a stockpile of weapons and perhaps explosives.
Australian Imam Tawhidi is a reformist Muslim known for his moderation and liberalism regards Islam. He supports Liberal Democracy and pluralism and modernity.

WARMINGTON: Was Danforth attack terror, or terrorism?
In the hours following the evil carnage that took the lives of two girls, just 10 and 18 and wounded 14 others in a merciless flurry of gunfire along the restaurant-lined streets of Greektown, a complicated picture is emerging of 29-year-old Faisal Hussain, who also died after exchanging gunfire with police.
His family released a statement to CBC News expressing their “deepest condolences” to victims and their families, saying their son struggled with “severe mental health challenges.“
Meanwhile, my law-enforcement sources confirm investigators are looking at every avenue — including a potential jihadi-inspired mission.
Files being reviewed by police include concern Hussain expressed “support” for a website that was seen as “pro-ISIL,” says a law enforcement source.
Sources say police in Toronto and CSIS officials in Ottawa, as well as the RCMP, are looking into his past, which sources say include his residence in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Hussain apparently had been spoken to by authorities about his online activities. Sources say Toronto Police, the OPP and the RCMP have all had an interest in the now-deceased shooter.
What law enforcement is saying is that the attack was planned, and Hussain was “well known to Toronto Police” for investigations into past crimes “involving weapons and violence.”
He was also known to hang out behind his building at 43 Thorncliffe Park Blvd. with a group of 20 friends.
“Police were called once because they thought Faisal was carrying a gun,” said someone who was there. “No gun was found.”
Meanwhile, Hussain’s family emailed a statement to CBC News outlining a life-long struggle with mental illness, depression and psychosis.
“We are utterly devastated by the incomprehensible news that our son was responsible for the senseless violence and loss of life that took place on the Danforth,” the statement read.
“While we did our best to seek help for him throughout his life of struggle and pain, we could never imagine that this would be his devastating and destructive end.
“Our hearts are in pieces for the victims and for our city as we all come to grips with this terrible tragedy. We will mourn those who were lost for the rest of our lives.”

A neighbour living near the apartment where Hussain lived with his parents said Faisal told him he previously worked in a bakery and as a grocer. While some friends said he was “not at all radical,” others said he was more interested in Islamic discussions “when there were more people around.”
At the 65 Mussallah Mosque near the building, Abubaker Patel said he knew Faisal’s father well, calling him “the nicest guy in the world.” The elder Hussain is in Sunnybrook Hospital and his other son has been in a coma for the past year, Patel said
Faisal, he suggested, has lived alone in the apartment in the meantime.
Sources say the deceased shooter’s personal life is being explored — including searching his family’s residence in Unit 707 in the Thorncliffe apartment building.
Police executed a search warrant Monday and were set to hunt for what they were told could be a stockpile of weapons and perhaps explosives. They were also interested in computers and hard drives.
While police made clear they have not ruled out any motives, the investigation will undoubtedly uncover the broken pieces of a life that ended in senseless violence and death.
Little comfort to his victims, or to a city struggling to make sense of this tragedy.

It’s islam , we should just define it as a mental illness, unless this weak cowardly mellenial cuck living in parents basement is just americanized!
Trudeau is a traitor to Canadians and democracy, not unlike Obama in the US. Property values plummet when Muslim enclaves overrun neighborhoods. Many Americans, wrongly, perceive Canadians as submissive to the malignant like of Trudeau and others but it is not the case.
Indeed, as here, in America, there is a myriad of alleged Progressives bent on the ruination of their democracy/Republic; however, there are others bent to fight for their democratic rights. Canadians are no different. Keep up the fight, Riley.
Well, you see, you simply cannot have an honest dialogue that doesn’t expose the very fact that islamists are motivated by envy of what others, their betters I dare say, have built, and like Satan, seek to destroy and submit those who will not bow to their evil.
But hey, what do I know?
Yeah because he knew the cucked Toronto police would never do anything about his “radical” (mainstream) Islamic views and because he knew he was free under Ms. Trudeau to kill the “infidels”

Of course he suffered from severe mental illness ! Where’s the surprise >? You’d HAVE TO BE INSANE to find such a violent and brutal socio-political ideology as Islam appealing ! I wonder if the families of the victims and the two dead children agree that “diversity is our strength ” as Justin Turdhole is so found of proclaiming? Perhaps we should send him over to see them so he could discuss all the benefits it blesses our culture with !

CBC is covering it up, pushing the government’s “mental illness” line.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is too busy kayaking to deal with terrorism.
Of course, the CBC, the government’s propaganda service, suppresses criticism of PM JT.

Yes, there was no mental illness. But what about your authorities? I say you’d better have them checked out. Uck the Moslem, we already know they are DERANGED.
We need to look at our officials now.

Father in hospital, brother in coma for pat year! Good thing they have free health care.
Yes. John 8:44 ( any lie is from Satan). Sure,Devil acts also in Vatican (1P4:17) but not a structure (pure)of Evil. Sure, Ed.Min.@textbooks have any idea on Devil@his acting in this world though ..Library is open!
Since you’re a bible reader, would you know why God created evil? Why does he allow Satan and his minions to exist? Why is it that Satan shows himself, especially in exorcism, but God never reveals himself.
God never reveals himself? He reveals itself in your mind (here,Satan-never),also angels-NT,ex. to St.Paul.Bible is a record of God’s reveation in…historical events like….8Dec 1991-Bialoviezha Accord-a coup contra Gorbatchev; 8December -the Feast of Immaculate Conception .Are you in a cave with no Library? Don’t remember the Cold War fear of Apocalypse? Evil=privation of good (being);consequently,there is no causal connection betwenn Creator and Evil(evil)-the classic (perfect) philosophy since St.Aristotle; Satan-a fallen angel, can make only tricks with matter (body)@never to mind! As you do not see or smell for ex. the number “1”(any) the same with spiritual entities like God,Satan or angels but you know their existence through reductive inference (contrary to deductive)
I appreciate your response, but you didn’t answer my question. If God didn’t create evil than who did? What is the difference between a bad and an evil person? who decides punishment in the next world? It seems to be a paradox. God wants us to be good (which is objective), but on the other hand God allows Satan/evil to exist.
Hey. Don’t you understand: Satan is an angel, a creature. Take any textbook on angelogy. Hm, the statistics@probablity theory explains perfectly your problem: you know a % people will die tomorrow in car accidents but your knowledge does not cause a particular death. Take st.Augustine, On Free Will. You are an examale how the same(!) arguments take up people at different times and ages though StAristotle ridiculled them already in 4th cent. BC (contra agnostics@Skeptics). You see how the philosophical ignorance rules your@other minds! Is there not a cause (hidden) for it?
You’re all over the place and you don’t stay on the subject nor make sense. I don’t agree that an angel is also a creature. What does accidents have anything to do what I asked you? I’m aware that we have free will and our incarnation will be based on it. Don’t accuse me of philosophical ignorance, because I’m a student in metaphysics. The problem with you is that you’re all emotion with no basis of evidence. I would have more respect for you if you just say, “I don’t know.” or does that deflate your pseudo philosophical ego?
God gave people a choice of good or evil. Islam naturally chose evil.

If that is the case, deport all muslims on anti-depressants.
Period.

He is probably lying…or he was perhaps complicit in the terror plot himself.

Of course they didn’t see any sign of mental illness, they were comparing him to other Muslims. They have to compare Muslims to ordinary healthy people.
