Admin Posted August 15, 2014 Multiple social media reports in Iraq say that a young Calgary man who appeared in an ISIS video four months ago has been killed in Iraq. Farah Mohamed Shirdon, a Calgarian fighting overseas with the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, was seen in the video burning his Canadian passport and threatening to destroy Iraq's oppressors. The Department of Foreign Affairs says it is aware of reports that a Canadian was killed in Iraq and is following the situation closely. A man claiming to be Shirdon's brother has been tweeting online — asking jihadi contacts for information on how Shirdon died. Shirdon, who had been enrolled in the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology until at least 2012, came from a prominent and well-educated Somali family. His father’s brother, Abdi Farah Shirdon, was a former prime minister of Somalia who has survived numerous attempts on his life by al-Shabab militants fighting for an Islamic state in Somalia under the banner of al-Qaeda. Shirdon’s mother and sister currently live in Calgary and are deeply involved in the religious life of their community. Attempts by CBC News to reach Shirdon's family have so far been unsuccessful. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird told reporters following a news conference in London, Ont., he was aware of the reports but could not speak to the specific facts of the case. "It's a sad reality that, from time to time, a small number of Canadians — radicalized — participate in these type of activities," Baird added. The Department of Foreign Affairs is advising Canadians "against all non-essential travel to Iraq due to the dangerous and unpredictable security situation.” Source: CBC http://www.somaliaonline.com/a-nephew-of-former-prime-minister-shirdoon-who-appeared-in-an-isis-video-four-months-ago-is-reported-to-have-been-killed-in-iraq/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DoctorKenney Posted August 15, 2014 These ISIS fighters deserve no sympathy at all. I know I sound harsh right now, but a quick reading of their actions in the Middle East would offend and disgust almost every single person. So if he died amongst this crowd, then know that he was simply one of them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Che -Guevara Posted August 15, 2014 Why would anyone wish to take part in Arab civil wars? What's their reasoning? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holac Posted August 15, 2014 He was a misguided youngster who was perhaps crying for help but no one picked up the signs early. Extremism is a disease and the Somali community needs to deal with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted August 15, 2014 The same reason as the Zionist terrorists who leave from Mareykanka and other Galbeedka countries to go to Falastiin to murder innocent civilians. Horta why doesn't CAIR try to prosecute them for war crimes and crimes against humanity? I know no Zionist-controlled Reer Mareykan judge will allow to proceed the case go further, but at least it will be bring more mainstream attention into this issue.

CidanSultan Posted August 15, 2014 Read between the lines: the west wants curropt dictators in the Middle East to feed it with cheap petrol, it doesn't care for democracy or reform of these regimes. It supports sissi of Egypt even though he over through a democratically elected government. They arm Israelis to kill Palestinian children. Europe and the u.s. Let's jews go and fight for the isrseli army Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
