The Nature of the Islamist Threat

Though CSIS, the RCMP and probably CSEC keep tab of Islamist activity in Canada, especially when violent or terrorist action is involved or suspected, the Canadian Forces are not expected to be called upon. However, as we saw when the FLQ (Front de libération du Québec) became a threat to the security of Canadians in October of 1970, the War Measures Act may be invoked and the Canadian Forces deployed to confront and contain a threat using kinetic force if deemed necessary. With that in mind it is simple due diligence that requires the Canadian Forces to acquaint themselves with the nature of the Islamist threat. Toward that end therefore I have produced a youTube video which, in turn, is comprised of clips from numerous youTube and other videos. While the focus is upon Canada, complementary material is drawn from the US and the UK. You may view the video by clicking here.
