Another castrate and throw away the key case, you wonder why they come to Canada.
A former Toronto IT worker, known as the “voice of ISIS” because he narrated its gruesome execution videos, is being investigated by the RCMP for “serious terrorism offences,” a court document unsealed Tuesday reveals.
The RCMP alleged in the top-secret affidavit it had reason to believe Mohammed Khalifa, a Canadian citizen captured in Syria by U.S.-backed Kurdish forces in January 2019, had committed four terrorism offences.
He remains in custody in Syria.
The evidence against him includes papers that were uncovered by the U.S. military in Raqqa after ISIS was ousted from its former capital in October 2017, the RCMP affidavit alleged….
“The RCMP is investigating Mr. Khalifa for serious terrorism offences,” Const. Abousamak wrote in his affidavit, which alleged Khalifa had been a “fighting soldier,” commander and employee of the ISIS Central Media Bureau.
“Among other things, he was the English narrator for many of ISIS’s most violent and inciting propaganda videos, including the notorious 2014 video known as ‘The Flames of War’ which depicted mass execution of prisoners by ISIS fighters,” he wrote.
According to the RCMP affidavit, there are reasonable grounds to believe Khalifa left Canada to participate in the activities of a terrorist group and that he participated in a terrorist group, which are both terrorism offences.
Khalifa also committed an indictable offence for the benefit of a terrorist group and “did counsel other persons to commit a terrorism offence,” Const. Abousamak alleged in the affidavit and information….
During the interview, Khalifa admitted to narrating the Flames of War video, and said he still considered himself a member of ISIS….
The family told police Khalifa was born in Saudi Arabia and moved to Rome before arriving in Canada in 1988 or ’89, when he was aged six. They described him as a “happy son” and “not an angry person.”
During high school, he spent a summer in Egypt, they allegedly told police. He returned to Egypt again after graduation to “learn Arabic so that he could study the Quran better,” the RCMP wrote.
He came back to Canada after two years and took an Information Technology course at college in Toronto, the family said, adding that while he was religious, he did not force his beliefs on his sister.
“Mohammed Khalifa was devout in his faith but respected his sister’s decision not to wear hijab and dress and live in a more Western way,” according to the RCMP affidavit.
On Aug. 3, 2013, Khalifa came home from a night shift and told his mother he was going to Egypt for a two-week vacation. But she noticed he had packed too heavily for a short trip, and two days after leaving, he emailed his sister and said he was actually in Turkey and was on his way to Syria.
She tried to talk him out of it, arguing Syria was dangerous and there were other ways to help people, but he responded by sending her a video of the Al Qaeda ideologue Anwar al-Awlaki, and she blocked him.
His mother told the RCMP Khalifa had stashed $16,000 in his room for her. She said he last phoned her on Jan. 14, 2019, the day after he was captured in Syria. He told her “everything is fine,” the affidavit said.
To verify that he was the long-sought voice of ISIS, the RCMP compared the signature on Khalifa’s 2011 Canadian passport application with the “Abu Radwan Al Kanadi” signature on the ISIS documents and concluded they were similar.
A month after the Khalifa was captured, a source said he had admitted to his role in ISIS propaganda videos. Around the same time, Khalifa admitted his true identity to New York Times reporter Rukmini Callimachi.
He also acknowledged having voiced the notorious Flames of War video, which shows prisoners digging their own graves and then being executed with bullets to the back of the head. In the video, he called ISIS killings part of the “war against disbelief.”…

Canada: Muslim who narrated ISIS’ execution videos was ‘devout in his faith,’ went to Egypt to study Qur’an
Everyone in the Western world knows that the Islamic State (ISIS) has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam, except the ISIS jihadis themselves. Nor does anyone seem curious about how this alleged misunderstanding of Islam became so widespread. "RCMP preparing charges against Toronto IT worker who...
