http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7006799732 Report: Homegrown Canadian Extremism And Terrorism On The Rise
Toronto, ON (AHN) - Homegrown Islamist extremism is on the rise, says a classified document addressed to Prime Minister Stephen Harper last year and obtained by the National Post Monday. The Post reported that the heavily edited version of the briefing they obtained under the Freedom of Information Act was dated to last June after 17 terror suspects were arrested and that it outlined the threat to Canada's sovereignty that could come from within. It said there were two stages that led to terrorism: radicalization, which could involve psychological and physical changes that include growing beards and criticizing non-radicals, and jihadization, which is a psychological change in which radicals adopt jihad as acceptable to defend the Muslim faith. The memo, addressed to Harper by Canadian Security Intelligence Service director Jim Judd, said: "Western governments need to understand the roots of radicalization and the elements which subsequently influence an individual to commit jihad. "This understanding is necessary for governments and society if they are to develop and implement strategies to counter this phenomenon." It went on to say that not all radicals are susceptible to jihadization but the move can be a very quick from one stage to the next.
