Police arrested two terror suspects in India who were believed to be part of a plot to kill a Toronto Sun columnist who’s written about Islam matters — angering ISIS, in so doing.
Tarek Fatah, the columnist, was on an ISIS kill list for “contentious issues related to Islam,” the Times of India reported.
But police in India said they unearthed the plot to kill him when they arrested two men in Mumbai, before they were able to purchase guns to carry out their deed.
From Canoe.com News:
“The duo were also targeting a Mumbai police officer.
“Fatah — known to Sun readers for his strong views on the Islamic world — earned a spot on the kill list after the would-be killers watched his YouTube videos and concluded his views on Islam were “highly objectionable”, police said.
“Sources told the Times the hitmen — reported in the press as Ehtesham and Faizan — were supposed to get guns elsewhere but when that fell through they turned to their Mumbai contact.
“‘The threat comes from the ISIS wing based inside Pakistan and that is involved with the Mumbai Muslim crime gangs who escaped India and live under the protection of the Pakistan government and their intelligence service the infamous ISI,’ Fatah told the Sun.
“He added: ‘I was first made aware of this threat when someone leaked the mobsters recorded phone call where the guy is heard telling an Indian jihadi that if they cannot ‘take care’ of me, he as a gangster (he used that title to describe himself) would do it himself. These arrests seem to have the finger prints of that ISIS-Islamic Crime gang nexus.’
“Fatah called it a’pity’ that ‘even while I was in New Delhi and a bounty was placed on my head, the Canadian High Commissioner did not feel it worth his while to intervene or contact me despite the fact he knew about the threats as well as the danger I was in.’
“Police said the jihadis planned to clip Fatah when he was in India.
“In February, Islamic group the All-India Faizan-e-Madina Council put a bounty of more than 10,000 Rupees on Fatah’s head.
“His Indian talk show, Fateh ka Fatwa, is wildly popular.
“The triggermen also wanted to kill cops and spray innocent civilians in crowded markets where they would plant explosives as well.”

Just stay quiet and you’ll be okay.
Cowards are alway fearful, when you start running, you never stop.
I believe the quote is from one of the 9-11 hijackers who stated this to the passengers before locking the cockpit door and flying the plane into the WTC.
Might have been, but, it fits other circumstances better.
Everyone is on ISIS’s hit list! Send in the hogs!
Remember, people, Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam, the “religion” whose founder claimed, “I am made victorious through terror.” Move along.
It’s very likely 2 muslims immediately replaced the 2 muslims that were arrested, who have the same plan for his death and the deaths of other innocents. The arrests solve nothing, and the marked man continues to be in grave danger.
Nothing a public hanging won’t tend to discourage a bit.
I don’t see how they keep order in India. Tough job for the police.
It’s hard given the leftists have significant power in media & academia. The leftists have a ‘Ummah’ (brotherhood in Arabic). Indian leftists are Islamo-philes like their western counterparts. In fact they frequently network with their counterparts in the west who give them ways & methods to attack the govt and the county’s culture. If you see, all anti-national, pro-Islamist nonsense churned out in India comes from theories imported from Harvard, Columbia and the likes.
When an Islamic terrorist is executed by the state, these leftists do rallies for ‘human rights’ of the terrorists. Also unfortunately western public is largely informed about India though leftist rags like NY Times who say without saying that Indian govt is Fascist and anti-Muslim.
Isn’t the Canadian high commissioner a Muslim? I believe the current P.M. appointed him.
The trudeau cabinet is full of muslims and sympathizers. Canada’s interests are not represent in any way by the federal government.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs is Muslim, so possibly the Canadian High Commissioner also is. Trudeau is deeply in bed with Muslims and Islam. This is what Canada has got for electing a featherbrained fart on the basis of his name, Trudeau, as if it’s some form of magic. I couldn’t stand his father and now the son is proving even worse.
So is the minister of immigration, who has known ties to erm questionable entities. The P.M.s brother is also a practicing Muslim.
It’s because Tarek doesn’t follow the Liberals ideals of islam the way they want the countryto follow. The Libs and Trudeau are Globalist and firm believers in the UN’s Agenda 21, that calls for a one world government and with one world religion
Notice the similarities to the happenings at “Berserkeley” in repressing free speech?
One of the few Muslims who calls it as he see’s it. Actually has the nads to call the terrorists and extremist Imams out in public.
“Canadian High Commissioner did not feel it worth while to intervene or contact me despite the fact he knew about the threats as well as the danger I was in.’” This statement about sums up Trudeau’s ideas about protecting Canadian citizens abroad, specially if they don’t follow his and the Liberals ideals of the perfect Muslim. GOD help Canada, the Libs sure as hell won’t
