Police officers from the SQ (Quebec Police force) have arrested a young man of 18 years old from L’Islet Friday because of threats made on the internet against the Muslim community.
The speaker for the SQ, Ann Mathieu, explained that all evidence indicates that these threats were published in-between the two tragedies of Saint-Jean-sur-le-Richelieu and Ottawa that happened last week. The individual should be seen in court today at Montmagny.
“All threats broadcast on the internet can bring upon criminal charges” reminds Madam Mathieu. “We remind people to be prudent when they express their opinion on the web”
More details to follow.

British science teacher who plotted to go to Syria to fight with ISIS jihadis was stopped by his family who confiscated his passport – then arrested when he got a replacement to try again (dailymail, Oct 27, 2014)

“A British science teacher today admitted plotting to fight with ISIS in Syria but was only stopped after his upset family confiscated his passport and told the police.
Radicalised father-of-two Jamshed Javeed, 30, taught 11 to 16-year-old pupils at Sharples High School in Bolton, Greater Manchester.
Police said the teacher was ‘determined’ to leave his job and fight alongside ISIS but his family, including his pregnant wife, grabbed his ‘go bag’ of money, supplies and his passport.
Jamshed Javeed had intended to travel with a man he had met only three months beforehand but could not travel without his documents.
When he applied for a new passport and received it last December anti-terror police swooped and arrested him.
He was planning to fly out to Syria via Turkey with equipment he had bought for use on the battlefields.
His family pleaded with him not to travel to Syria but he told them he wanted to go regardless of their wishes.
It also emerged today Javeed was twice spoken to by MI5 agents as he plotted join ISIS and he knew ‘they were keeping an eye on him’ just before he was held.
The teacher was due to stand trial at Woolwich Crown Court today but instead pleaded guilty to two terror charges. He was remanded and will be sentenced in December….”
