A Somali refugee who had been on a watch list over extremist views faced five counts of attempted murder and terror charges on Sunday after Canadian police said he stabbed a police officer and ran down four pedestrians with a car in Edmonton, Alberta.

The suspect, a 30-year-old man whom police did not identify, had been investigated two years ago for promoting extremist ideology but was not deemed a threat, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said.

This seems to be highly ungrateful behavior.

What he did must be incredibly blatant and extreme if they admit that it’s a terror attack so quickly.

I’m still undecided as to whether Somalia or Pakistan is the worst country in the world.

I got the impression of Somalian’s when I was actually in Somalia. Draw your own conclusion. The fact remains that a mass migration has been ongoing since a-hole Clinton and very few assimilate.

The refugee stream is sort of like this — ten thousand confused and vulnerable people, producing one thousand angry and militant zealots, of whome one hundred might try to take action, and ten would succeed.

So who among them is “deemed to be a threat?”

All of them, or none of them?

It’s the crazed loner problem with a cultural variation. But crazed loners are rarely egged on by outside influences.

If not but outside influences then by inside influence. The self teaching of mohammad’s perfect pattern of human behavior through the Ayat’s of the Koran & sahiha hadieths. Unless it’s the time tested excuse... a history mental illness.

They are all threats, because none of them fit in - they will always be outsiders in Western countries, because they choose to worship Mohammed & Allah. Every one is a ticking time bomb.

All of them.
After all, what do they bring with them that the US (or Canada) really needs?

Seems to be the case in all Western countries; perps are “known to authorities”...
