BRAMPTON, Ontario - At least one member of a group of terror suspects plotted to storm Canada's parliament and behead officials, including the prime minister, if Muslim prisoners in Canada and Afghanistan were not released, according to charges made public Tuesday.

Authorities also alleged that Steven Vikash Chand plotted to take over media outlets such as the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.

Pretty sick stuff.

Living in Ottawa, I can tell you that if a bit crazy, it was not implausible. I was passing by Parliament Hill the other day, and I smirked at how the American Embassy nearby is a fortress with a tall fence, blocks to prevent cars from getting near entrances, and half of both roads near it closed off - when there is basically no real security whatsoever at the parliament itself.

I had a bit of a chuckle at this part (actually a mixture of wry amusement and disgust):

Asked whether the prisoners' religious requirements were being met, McLeod said: "They're Muslim and clearly they'd like to be able to pray, to pray as a group. We'd like to be able to facilitate that religious freedom that they're entitled to."


"That is one thing that counsel is asking for and the justice inside the court was not able to give a definitive answer where that was concerned."

His clients' are alleged to have conspired to commit terrorist acts and he things they should be entitled to pray together as a group? Yeah right. :roll:

The muslims caught in Toronto had plans to behead numerous politicians and members of the press.

What is it with islam and violence? What is wrong with that religion? It really ought to be banned. Someone needs to stop that virus from infecting this country.
