LE JIHAD : UNE AFFAIRE QUI MARCHE !
First Canadian to be killed in the jihad fields of Syria
Global Jihad – Canadian Student who Joined Syrian Rebels is Killed
By Jonathan D. Halevi
The
civil war in Syria appeals to young Muslims from many countries
including the West, wishing to join the ranks of Jihad (holy war) as
part of the rebel forces in Syria, most of which are identified with
radical Islamic streams.
Canadian citizens have also enlisted with the Syrian rebels.

Jamal Mohamed Abd al-Kader was born and raised in Canada, a member of a Kurdish family originally from the village of Juka near Afrin in north east Syria.
Jamal, a student and his parents' only son, decided last year to join the rebel forces in Syria. In July 2012 he arrived in Turkey, and a day later entered Syria via the Bab al-Salama crossing. He then joined up with the 'Asifat a-Shimal Brigade' of the 'Free Syrian Army', later joining the 'Ahrar al-Sham Brigades'. Jamal participated in the fighting in the area around Aleppo during the summer and autumn of 2012, and went on to participate in the fighting around Damascus from December 2012 until he was killed by Syrian army fire on February 26, 2013.
One of the Syrian fighters who knew Jamal recounted that after a telephone conversation with his parents, during which they tried to convince him to return to Canada and complete his university studies, he tore up his Canadian passport, deciding to commit himself totally to fighting within the ranks of jihad.
Mohammad Talal Bazer Bashi, one of the founders of the 'Ahrar al-Sham Brigades' noted in a media interview that the number of volunteers originating from abroad reaches two percent of all fighters, all of them motivated by their desire to participate in Jihad. According to him, his organization embraces Islamic ideology and adheres to Sharia, Islamic law.
The 'Ahrar al-Sham Brigades' is considered one of the largest fighting groups active in the Syrian conflict, and was involved in the seizure of airports in northern Syria, capturing Syrian army outposts, eliminating people belonging to the Syrian regime, and suicide bombings with booby trapped vehicles. The 'Ahrar al-Sham Brigades' cooperates operationally with 'Jabhat al-Nusra', declared by the US a terrorist organization, due to its links with Al Qaeda and its involvement in war crimes.
In July 2011 a Canadian national and Toronto resident, Thwiba Kanafani, joined the Syrian rebels. After several months in Syria and Turkey she returned to Canada and is involved in rallying support and assistance for the struggle of the Syrian people.
The Syrian web site 'Zaman al-Wasel' reported six months of a Canadian citizen who enlisted with 'Jabhat al-Nusra', and took part in the fighting around the city of Aleppo.
Prior to that, a person identifying himself as a Canadian Muslim, uploaded a request on one of the 'Free Syrian Army' web sites to join the forces fighting against the Assad regime. The volunteer expressed his willingness to reach Istanbul in Turkey at short notice, to join up with the rebels. He describes himself as Canadian, born to Lebanese parents, fluent in English, less so in French, and able to speak Arabic. He claimed he could bring with him surplus army equipment (such as US military bullet proof vests and combat gear), military equipment and medical experience in treating penetration wounds (knife, shooting and shrapnel). He signs off: 'your Muslim brother'.
