Justin Trudeau’s jihad. The jihadi was “disappointed” she’d failed to hurt anyone during the attack, no thanks to Canadian law enforcement. More than a year before she embarked on her jihad in one of Canada’s largest department stores armed with an archer’s bow and butcher’s knife, Rehab Dughmosh’s brother tipped off police that she was on an international flight to join ISIS.

Nothing was done.

More than a year before she entered a Canadian Tire store armed with an archer’s bow and butcher’s knife, Rehab Dughmosh’s brother tipped off police that she was on an international flight to join ISIS.

The RCMP notified Turkish authorities, who refused her entry into the country and put her on the next flight back to Toronto.

Dughmosh denied it. No charges were laid and the RCMP closed their file.

These are among the details that Dughmosh admitted in a Toronto courtroom Wednesday, a year and seven months after she allegedly threatened store employees and a customer with a golf club and a knife inside a Canadian Tire in Scarborough.

Dughmosh, who in an earlier court appearance pledged her allegiance to ISIS, faces four charges in connection with leaving Canada for the purpose of participating in a terror group, assault with a golf club, assault with a knife and carrying a compound bow — all for the benefit of a terror group, namely ISIS.

Dughmosh refused to enter a plea on Wednesday, but she presented no evidence to defend herself in her appearance at the Superior Court of Justice in Toronto. Justice Maureen Forestell entered a not-guilty plea on Dughmosh’s behalf.

Employees wrestled woman to ground

An agreed statement of facts entered in court lays out what happened on the afternoon of June 3, 2017. Dughmosh packed three bags with an assortment of homemade weapons and headed down to the lobby of her Scarborough apartment.

Then she ran into her husband.

Anas Hanafy, separated from but still living with Dughmosh, asked the now 34-year-old what was in the bags. When he saw what was inside, he confiscated them from her.

What he didn’t know was that Dughmosh had concealed an archer’s bow and butcher’s knife beneath her robe.

At about 4:40 p.m. Dughmosh left her Scarborough home and walked to a nearby Canadian Tire store. Inside, she told an employee she wanted to purchase a set of arrows locked in a display case. The employee couldn’t hand her the items, citing a store policy that locked items needed to be given directly to a cashier for payment, according to the statement of facts.

Dughmosh, unable to pay for the arrows, left the sporting goods section and began perusing other items. She decided on a hammer, wrenches and pliers and placed them in a red shopping basket. Then she headed back to the sporting goods section, where she picked up a golf club and disappeared down an aisle.

In the meantime, you’re going to kill people in Canada?–  Kyle Craig, Canadian Tire employee

At 5:12 p.m., Dughmosh removed a black-and-white ISIS banner from under her robe, tied a black bandana with an ISIS symbol around her head and slung the archery bow over her shoulder, according to the statement of facts. With the golf club in her right hand, she made her way to the store’s paint section.

Three store employees were in the paint section helping two customers when Dughmosh charged towards them, swinging the golf club repeatedly and shouting, “Allahu Akbar [God is Great].” One of the employees grabbed her arm as she was about to swing and wrestled the golf club away.

‘When you kill us, we kill you’

That’s when Dughmosh pulled the butcher’s knife from beneath her robe and began swinging against another employee, who managed to wrestle her to the ground. A fourth employee ran over to help and was able to pry the knife from Dughmosh’s hand as someone called 911.

“Why did you come in here?” asked employee Kyle Craig. “Because of ISIS?”

“Yes,” replied Dughmosh. “When you kill us, we will kill you … When you kill Muslims, you have to pay for it from your blood.”

Dughmosh went on to explain she’d previously tried to leave Canada to join ISIS but was turned back at the Turkish border, the statement of facts says.

“In the meantime, you’re going to kill people in Canada?” asked Craig. “Why, what’s that gonna give you?”

“Revenge … to stop killing Muslims in Syria and Iraq. You’re killing ISIS, I’m from ISIS,” Dughmosh said, according to the statement. No one was seriously injured in the attack.

Disappointed she hadn’t hurt anyone

In the hours after her arrest, Dughmosh admitted the real reason for her April 2016 trip to Turkey. It was not to visit family. Instead, it was to join ISIS and live with them in the Caliphate. 

Speaking to investigators with the RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET), Dughmosh admitted she’d been an ISIS supporter since 2014, having made a unilateral pledge of allegiance to its leader Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi.

Dughmosh was interviewed by the RCMP the previous year, after her attempt to get to Syria via the Turkish border city of Gazantiep. But it wasn’t until after the attempted attack at the Canadian Tire in 2017 that investigators understood her intentions, according to the statement.

Dughmosh told investigators she was “disappointed” she’d failed to hurt anyone during the attack. But she was happy with what she’d done, she said. The important thing was to try.

Staggering array of weapons

A search of Dughmosh’s home after the Canadian Tire incident turned up a staggering array of weapons, including a black duffel bag with knives, scissors, and a child’s shovel converted into claws.

There was much more: a red cart with a hammer, two arrows, 31 barbecue skewers, 76 straws with screws glued to the tip; and a red bag containing 36 other handmade weapons.Investigators also found  two propaganda videos by the ISIS media arm, each viewed several times over in the previous weeks.

Dughmosh, investigators found, had also written a will. In it she asked that God “grant me martyrdom for His sake, for the elevation of his religion and to take revenge from the criminal infidels.”

Federal Crown prosecutor Jason Wakely read aloud the statement of facts to the jury. When he was finished, Forestell asked Dughmosh if she admitted to the details.

Dughmosh replied simply, “Yes.”

A jury is expect to begin deliberating on a verdict Thursday.

I doubt Trudeau will have anything to say about that case and the woman involved, unless of course he makes the case for her being driven off her head by white racists embedded in Canadian society.

In the land of orange pixies where he lives, that must be the answer in her case.

Get rid of him Canada.

If there’s anything that could motivate people to get off their butts and vote for the Conservatives/Scheer, it’s stories like this. Islam generates millions of these violent, psychotic crackpots. Canadian Tire employees/customers (one of my favorite stores by the way) were just lucky it was a woman who could be easily overpowered.

What are they going to do when it’s a gang of well-built, well organized Muslim men who trained for Jihad/martyrdom and swore allegiance to the Islamic State (Islam really) and then decide to attack a bunch of innocent people?

How many dozens of such plots are being hatched right now? Why do we want Canada to become more like Europe or the mideast? It’s insanity to allow Muslims into our countries, they should all be treated as dangerous, except those trying to escape Islam.

No I didn’t miss out on the good Muslims who tried to stop her but if there was no Islam, there would be no Jihadis either.

The media hides it.
When Islam comes up it is praised and Muslims are protected.

Trudeau said it’s okay for ISIS fighters to return to Canada because they will help prevent radicalization.
What he really means is that they will vote liberal and that’s all that matters to him.

Amazing that this woman was rejected by Turkey and welcomed back to Canada.

We must stop to allow Trump to norm Saudi Arabia & the unjust Muhammadism.
• Trump said Pamela Geller would insult everybody.
• He sells weapons to Saudi Arabia where Africans* are enslaved, atheists killed & girls clitodirectomized & raped & to new Muhammadist Nigeria where people are killed by government-backed Muhammadists.
• He promotes Twitter which is owned by Saudi Arabia.
• Under his watch
1. a man protesting against a Mosque was sentenced to 15 years jail.
2. & a court declared the ban on the lifelong torture of clitodirectomy unconstitutional.
3. Mosques plus Mosque-loudspeakers spread.
4. Former government-officials are still active in the government & haven’t been prosecuted for arming of ISIS, cash to Iran, money to Egypt Muhammadists, Fatah, Pakistan & so on & Uranium to Russia.
5. Report showing Saudi Arabia’s & also Iran’s involvement in Twin-Tower attacks is held secret.
*Africans are enslaved, castrated, divorced, beaten & killed today in Saudi Arabia & enslaved in the UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, North-Sudan, Libya (surge), Algeria (surge), Mauritania (20 percent), Niger, Mali, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks (see Wikiislam).

Here she is – Rehab Dughmosh.
Muslims are like wild animals when they are allowed to be themselves.
It’s their culture and Islam.

Did they show all her weapons to Norman “Trudodo” Bates? Ask him why? Why is he committing treason against white people? And that there will be consequences for his treason?

See what the boy says? The pretty little boy with the cute eyelashes.

The imam says: Oh, I am sorry, she misunderstood me. I told her to go slash tires of the infidels, not to attack the tire stores.
i guess that her “robe” was a burka. The ideal hiding place for their weapons.
Proscribe islam or be a sharia slave!!!!

Understand this. Our Prime Minister and his far left liberal party, love Islam and all of the ideology followers. He has made it known that all Muslims are welcome, he has even told Muslim fighters for ISIS that they are welcome to return to Canada, where they will receive government benefits, and non of this has been approved by our citizens ! We must rid ourselves of his government soon or we will suffer greatly.
