John Yahya McGuire
WE ASK - WHY?
Canada's Ottawa Sun News Called Guide US TV Newsroom just minutes ago, asking if we have any new info on John 'Yahya' McGuire - They said he joined up with ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham) and is now dead somewhere in Syria.
McGuide appeared in ISIS videos threatening his own birth country of Canada with attacks, "where it will hurt you most".
LIVE Tonight on Guide US TV
Now, according to Ottawa Sun, McGuire is dead - somewhere in Syria!
Why? Did he get in with the "wrong crowd"?
Why? Was he just another victim of radicalization?
Why? Didn't anyone tell him - THIS IS NOT ISLAM?
John (Yahya) Maguire's ISIS video urges attacks on Canadian soil
ISIS attempted to incite further attacks against Canadians on Sunday, issuing a propaganda video in which an Ottawa extremist scolded the government for joining the international military coalition fighting the terrorist group.
Reporter in Canada says a 6 minute video of McGuire - threatened the entire population of Canada - They would be indiscriminately targeted - and - It was mandatory for all Muslims to join ISIS or "follow the example" of attackers who hit Ottawa & Sanit-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que.
Here's a quote from McGuire - “You either pack your bags, or prepare your explosive devices. You either purchase your airline ticket, or you sharpen your knife,” - video is supposedly propaganda from a group hooked up to ISIS.
The speaker identified himself as Abu Anwar al-Canadi, but five former friends said they recognized him as John Maguire, a University of Ottawa dropout who converted to Islam and became radicalized before vanishing last year.
“To think a person who I used to stand next to in prayer three years ago would turn out like this is unbelievable,” a former university acquaintance, who disagreed with Mr. Maguire’s extremist views, said after watching the video.
Looking gaunt and sounding alien to those who knew him in Canada, he spoke in English and seemed to read from a script. The camera shots appeared to be staged to show ruined buildings and a mosque dome in the background.
The video is part of a propaganda push by ISIS that appears designed to attract recruits and use the threat of terrorism to deter the U.S.-led air campaign that has killed hundreds of fighters and, according to military officials, stalled the group’s advance.
“It follows quite closely to the theme of a variety of videos aimed at Western audiences, like the video aimed at French Muslims a few weeks ago,” said Professor Amarnath Amarasingam of the Dalhousie University Resilience Research Centre, who is studying Canadian foreign fighters.

“It follows quite closely to the theme of a variety of videos aimed at Western audiences, like the video aimed at French Muslims a few weeks ago,” said Professor Amarnath Amarasingam of the Dalhousie University Resilience Research Centre, who is studying Canadian foreign fighters.
“The interrelated themes are of course ones of religious obligation: if a caliphate has been established and Muslims have been persecuted by the state you are living in, you are required to leave the state you are living in. The risk of staying is hellfire. Maguire’s video is similar to the video aimed at French Muslims, asking a simple question: what are you waiting for?”
The video refers repeatedly to the October killings of two Canadian Forces members in Quebec and Ottawa by men who had adopted Islamist extremist beliefs. It said the attacks were a “direct response” to Canada’s military role in Iraq.
“The more bombs you drop on our people, the more Muslims will realize and understand that today, waging jihad against the West and its allies around the world is beyond a shadow of the doubt a religious obligation binding upon every Muslim.”
Responding to the video, Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney said terrorism remained a serious threat to Canadians. “That is why we are taking part in the coalition that is currently conducting air strikes against ISIL [another acronym for ISIS], and supporting the security forces in Iraq in their fight against this terrorist scourge.”
But WHY?
Why aren't Muslims more involved with these new people coming to Islam?
Why are Canadians promoting Guide US TV to the likes of McGuire and others coming to Islam there?
Why aren't we worried about our own children getting caught up in this mess?
Why not support the only voice we have in America - for the true, peaceful, loving Islam that our prophet, peace be upon him, brought for all mankind?
