Abdul Aziz Kawam fully manifested the Islamic State fever he had contracted on April Fools’ Day in 2023.
A Another victim also had their throat slashed at a bus stop, 10 minutes after the aspiring martyr had spent two minutes praying. nd so, at the behest of the death cult, he slashed the throat of a rider, leaving a bloodbath on a Surrey,
B.C., bus. Miraculously, the male victim in the frenzied, unprovoked attack survived.
Another victim also had their throat slashed at a bus stop, 10 minutes after the aspiring martyr had spent two minutes praying.
On June 30, Justice Miriam Gropper found Aziz Kawam guilty of attempted murder for the benefit of a terrorist group and assault using a weapon for the benefit of a terrorist group. Two other charges were stayed.
The wannabe killer will find out his fate on July 10 when he is sentenced in the B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, the Maple Ridge News reported. Other than the local outlet, coverage of his conviction has been, to say the least, sparse.
It’s almost as if the narrative that there are people in this country who have intentions of committing vile acts of violence upon our citizens has been redacted from our more right-on-than-thou newsrooms.
All the RCMP has said is that Kawam was born in 1995. His citizenship status is murky, as is his country of origin. Before beginning his ghastly handiwork, he asked one rider whether or not he was Muslim.
You get the drift. And he loved the Islamic State, the nutters whose attempt to establish a caliphate was obliterated, leaving thousands of dead across the planet in the process.
In the days preceding the attack, federal Crown prosecutor Sharon Steele told the court that Abdul Aziz Kawam was mainlining ISIS propaganda. There was the goofy pledge of allegiance video 10 days before the attack, the encrypted messages on his phone and the tidal wave of nonsense he swallowed.
And then he unleashed his jihad.
The victim, whose throat was slashed, was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. A second individual also had their throat cut at a bus stop. Both victims survived.
Steele said the facts of the sinister attack have never been in dispute. The only thing in contention is whether Canada’s latest contribution to the terror canon is criminally responsible because of a mental disorder.
She added that the judge has to decide whether the attacks were “for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a terrorist group. Considered in its totality, the only reasonable inference is that Mr. Kawam’s attacks were done in the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with the Islamic State.”
The victims? They were going to work as normal. That could have been you, me, our mothers, our fathers, our kids. But when dealing with a fanatical ideology, everyone is a target.
His technique for attempted murder followed ISIS’s “signature execution style,” Steele said.
His 911 call was something to behold. Kawam started off telling the operator he had pledged allegiance to Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Qurashi, the then-leader of ISIS. Of course, that job is as dangerous as being the piano player in the Grateful Dead.
The operator asked what had transpired.
“Mr. Kawam replies, ‘On behalf of the Islamic State, I just did an attack in the bus,'” Steele said, as per the Maple Ridge News. “Then Mr. Kawam makes a slightly lengthier statement that echoes many of the sentiments in the [ISIS] Pledge of Allegiance that we saw on the phone.”
Article content
He also referenced the war between ISIS and Western nations, and that his desire was for Canadians to convert to Islam or pay jizya (a tax non-Muslims pay to Muslim rulers, a feature of the Islamic State).
The self-identified mujahideen added: “Don’t be a fool and hide this message from your people, because this will hurt civilians.”
His lawyers conceded Kawam’s actions met the criteria for terrorism.
Now, we wait with baited breath: Will he skate on the NCR piece? Will his sentence be slashed because he might be deported? Will the usual suspects go over the boards in his defence?
This is Canada. You never know anymore.
