A Canadian couple, self-described converts to Islam, who were convicted
of planning to bomb the British Columbia legislature, also intended to
infiltrate a synagogue and kill Jewish children, according to court
documents and the Victoria Times-Colonist, reports the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA).
John Nuttall told an undercover officer that his wife, Amanda Korody, believed that "grown-up
Jews" go to "eternal hell" and that she would be doing
Jewish children a favor by killing them and reaching paradise, police
records revealed in British Columbia's Supreme Court show.
"I asked Nuttall how he thinks he will have access to Jewish kids and
he said [he and his wife] were both white and could pass for Jewish...They
will be regulars in the synagogue. They will gain the trust of everybody.
And once they have everything they will get enough guns and ammo to go
ahead with their mission," read the March 2013 record from an
undercover RCMP officer.
Nuttall admitted that Jewish children were noncombatants in his view,
but believed they would grow up to hate Arabs and Muslims. However, Nuttall
stated that "you never know, they may convert [to Islam] in their
adulthood."
Earlier this year, Nuttall and Korody were found guilty of planning to
explode homemade pressure-cooker bombs at the British Columbia legislature
during Canada Day celebrations in 2013.
During the investigation, police obtained a hard drive including a
"terrorist plan, as well as videos and recordings of Osama Bin Laden
lectures and shortcut to Inspire magazine and the Anarchist Cookbook",
according to a British Columbia Supreme Court document outlining details of the investigation and
terrorist plan.
Terrorism experts often warn that converts to Islam may be more likely
to embrace radical jihad. A 2004 Canadian Security and Intelligence
Services (CSIS) report warned that "converts in particular are
prone to extreme views because of their newfound zeal." The report,
"Canadian Converts to Radical Islam," shows that al-Qaida and
other jihadist terrorist groups were "aware of the usefulness of
converts for a variety of purposes" including propaganda and evading
Western security authorities.
Understanding that Canada faces a growing threat from radical Islamism, Public Safety Canada is
now funding its first study devoted to Canadian converts to Islam.
