In the previous entries in this series, I have discussed how the Wildrose Party neglected Edmonton to the detriment of winning northern Alberta seats and how the issue of conscience rights and statements made by one candidate in particular were the deciding factors in the Wildrose loss on election day.

Disclaimer: I have never, and will never judge a person based on the colour of their skin, their religion, or their sexual orientation. This article is to look at the history of a terrorist family, and nothing more. I make no judgements on Muslims, Jews, or Christians.

In 1978 a young Muslim student, practising his religion but with more of a secular bent, emigrates to Canada from Egypt.

By the time he graduates from the University of Ottawa he is a firm believer in Sharia Law. He has gone from secular to radical in 3-4 short years. Simply stated, his eyes had been opened to the tenets of radical Islam.
