| Al-Shabaab recruits Canadian youth | ||
| 2011-01-27 | ||
| Abdullahi Mohamed trained as a jihadi for al-Shabaab in Mogadishu but left them and returned to Canada in 2009. He had originally come to Canada in 1989 as a teen. Mohamed now lives and works in Toronto. He claims to have left al-Shabaab because he never accepted its radical views.
"They are an organization that is recruiting, effectively, young, Western Muslim youth," he said. Mohamed said he fears that unless Canada's government reaches out to young Muslims more will join al-Shabaab. "Help us before they use us. Employ us before they employ us. The ball is in your court federal government. Wake up before the blood is soaked in the streets of Toronto, like it was in London, Stockholm and New York."
