Declassified CSIS report on 'homegrown' extremists Posted: January 30, 2008, 11:59 AM by Shane Dingman Canada, Graphic By Stewart Bell They’re young, they’re angry and they’re Canadian. Counter-terrorism agencies are growing increasingly alarmed about “homegrown” extremists — young radicals who believe terrorist violence is a legitimate response to what they have been brainwashed into believing is a Western war against Islam. Radicals are nothing new to Canada. We’ve had our share over the years, from far right wing skinheads and animal rights extremists to the FLQ and lets-tear-down-the-world anarchists. But the top concern right now is that a handful of Canadian youths are getting drawn into “jihadism,” the notion that the Muslim world is under attack and that setting off truck bombs in downtown Toronto is an appropriate form of religious self-defence. [Ed Note: Particularly troubling is the case of Salman Hossain from today's story about how police have advised the Bangladeshi-Canadian that he is under investigation for incitement and facilitating terrorism after he repeatedly called the killing of Canadian troops in Canada "legitimate" and "well deserved."] Despite being visited by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and RCMP and told he was under investigation, Mr. Hossain has continued to post messages approving of attacks on Canadian troops. Saying anti-war protests "will do sh$$," he describes a "mass casualty" attack on the home-front as "a well considered option" and "the best way to compel western soldiers to get out of Afghanistan/Iraq."] The Canadian intelligence reports excerpted below, which have been declassified under the Access to Information Act, give a snapshot of what counter-terrorism analysts in Ottawa are losing sleep over right now.
