Muslim activist, peaceful of course, arrested on terrorism charges (accuse, weapons, suspect)

I'm sure she was laughing her head off at the libs coddling her butt until she was finally caught.

"A Quebec activist who fought the stereotyping of Muslims was charged with supporting terrorism on Friday after an RCMP investigation linked her to an alleged scheme to smuggle weapons to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Mouna Diab, 26, was charged with committing a crime “for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a terrorist group,” the RCMP said in a statement. She faces a possible life sentence if convicted.
The Laval woman was arrested at Montreal’s Trudeau airport last year and accused of violating an international arms embargo targeting Lebanon, but police added the far more serious terrorism charge on Friday."


"Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said in a statement Friday the government was working with international partners “to ensure that Canada will not be a source of weapons or other resources for groups or individuals associated with terrorism.” Prior to her arrest, Ms. Diab was vice-president of the Association of Young Lebanese Muslims. Her activism was focused partly on changing the stereotypes that too often associate Muslims with terrorism and violence."

Not surprised in the least.

I don't get what this has to do with the article, but it's very true. I'm bilingual, and when I'm out and about with my parents we talk about people right in front of them. Mostly we comment on their outfits or comment on their cute baby/kid. If you ever suspect that a person speaking in another language is talking about you, though, you're probably correct. Those darn foreigners!

Per the article:

Firearms parts were found in her luggage at Montreal airport on May 19, 2011.

If I had to venture a guess, I'd probably say they were the parts to convert semi-automatic firearms to fully-automatic ones. In the US this gets you the following prize: 10-year, $10,000 felony (18 U.S.C. section 922(o); 26 U.S.C. sections 5861, 5871).
