Toronto Mural a Jihadi Battle Cry
(Toronto Sun-Canada) Tarek Fatah - On Sept. 3, the head of al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, released a video in which he declared war on the infidels, reciting verse 13 from the Quran chapter titled "The Battle Array": "Help from Allah and an imminent victory is at hand." The words are a millennium-old Islamic battle prayer. These same words have been painted as a mural in the heart of Toronto's Little India, paid for by the taxpayers of Toronto. Last year, Toronto realtor Salim Ahmad, a Muslim and a member of the Muslim Canadian Congress, launched a petition asking the mayor and city officials to remove the mural containing the jihadi battle prayer.
