Former refugees say newcomers will seize their 'golden opportunities' in Canada-By Jennifer Graham, The Canadian Press | The Canadian Press – DEC 9,15-YAHOONEWS
REGINA - Haidah Amirzadeh was seven months pregnant and couldn't speak English when she arrived as a refugee in Saskatoon in 1989.Zahra Darzi fled Iran with her two young daughters after her husband was executed. She claimed refugee status once she arrived in Regina in1991.Amirzadeh is now a lawyer specializing in immigration and refugee law who teaches at the University of Saskatchewan. Darzi is an engineer working at Saskatchewan's government-owned telephone utility.Both say they came to Canada looking for an opportunity to succeed and both seized it. As Canada prepares to bring in at least 10,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the year, the women say they want to remind people that, while many will come with little, it won't take long for them to get on their feet."I think, especially when somebody has been in such a difficult situation for so long, when they arrive to an opportunity, they really grab onto it," says Amirzadeh. "Nobody really wants to be a burden."Amirzadeh left Iran and spent 18 months as a refugee in Turkey before settling in Canada. She recalls waiting to be selected, interviewed and picked. There was a lot of anxiety about being rejected.Once in Canada, she learned English and put herself through law school." There are a lot of people who come with nothing, with no English, with no support, and then within a few years they become so successful, it's amazing. They start a business or they get some professional training or, if they were themselves professionally trained, they can convert it to Canadian certification and get going here."Like Amirzadeh, Darzi couldn't speak English when she arrived in Canada. The single mom's first priority was to settled her kids. She then set out to learn English. She obtained a degree in electronic systems engineering from the University of Regina.At first, Darzi says, some of the male engineering students made fun of her accent, but she wasn't discouraged."I said anything I want. I can do it. Anything is possible for me."Darzi says she thinks refugees will be successful because they recognize "golden opportunities" in Canada."I have found so many refugees in Canada that are successful people. There are doctors. There are engineers. They are successful people, good parents. They are role models."Getachew Woldeyesus, a former refugee from Ethiopia who is now settlement and family services manager with the Regina Open Door Society, says refugees will need help initially. But he notes that history has shown many refugees go on to need little social assistance.Woldeyesus says people shouldn't discount the knowledge that the Syrians will bring with them."People assume all the Syrians are not educated and I can tell you ... these people are way more educated. They are doing jobs that are highly professional. Some of them are doctors, bankers, engineers, but I don't think anybody's talking about that," he said."They are talking about them as if they are not educated and that we need to educate them here. That's not what's happening, what the reality is."
Syrian refugees won't 'jump the queue' for housing and citizenship, John McCallum says-CBC – DEC 9,15-YAHOONEWS
Syrian refugees won't move to the front of the line for social housing or Canadian citizenship, Immigration Minister John McCallum said today.As the first flights of Syrian refugees bound for Canada prepare for takeoff, McCallum said the Liberal government is "very sensitive" to some concerns that the new arrivals will have higher priority for jobs, housing or citizenship."We do have to be careful that the refugees not be seen to queue jump, if you will," he said. With extended waits to gain Canadian citizenship, the refugees will have to apply and wait like everyone else and should not expect it "overnight," McCallum said.The minister said he has also heard from mayors of cities where residents having been waiting months or even years for social housing."I don't think it would be popular among those who have been waiting to long if refugees come in and suddenly go to the front of the line," he said.McCallum said Canadians have a "large welcoming attitude," and the government must encourage and foster that by acting in a "prudent fashion.""It is a balance we have to strike," the minister said. "On the one hand, I do think a large majority want to welcome these people coming from the scourge of civil war to our country, and make them feel comfortable, help them adjust and hope they will get jobs. But at the same time, we don't want to put them in a privileged position relative to other Canadians who are themselves working hard to find housing, to become citizens and so on."Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is expected to make an announcement today with details about the arrival of the first group of refugees.McCallum said about 800 people are being processed each day, and that he is "guardedly optimistic" the process will continue to move at a brisk pace.New figures released during a briefing in Ottawa include:- 11,932 applications are in progress.- 1,451 permanent resident visas have been issued.- 416 Syrian refugees have arrived in Canada since Nov. 4, 2015.- 69 communities across Canada are preparing to welcome refugees."This is a pretty good clip and a good sign for us in terms of getting this job done," he said.But he cautioned there is "no guarantee" that good news will continue, especially with the looming election in Lebanon, which has been issuing exit visas.-Won't jump queue-McCallum also announced the government is increasing funding for resettlement assistance services by $3.6 million, in order to welcome refugees not only with "a smile, but also with a roof over their head."The minister confirmed that refugees will have full access to basic and supplementary benefits under the interim federal health program.NDP Leader Tom Mulcair accused the Liberals of putting forward a "totally unrealistic" plan during the election campaign to bring in 25,000 refugees by year's end. Now, he said, the government is holding back the full information and numbers."Twenty-five thousand — right after the campaign they admitted we'll never be able to do that. We told them it was unrealistic, but Canadians now want a government that's going to come clean," he said.Yesterday, officials offered the media tours of the special airport terminals in Toronto and Montreal set up specifically to receive incoming flights of refugees. The first flight is expected to land Thursday evening in Toronto with approximately 160 on board. Montreal will receive its first government-organized flight by the weekend.Canadian officials are on the ground in Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey screening refugees and overseeing the necessary health and security checks before departure. - METRO MORNING | Stories of heartbreak, resilience-Despite the new Liberal government's original ambition to move 25,000 refugees by the end of 2015, the government is now saying only 10,000 will arrive this month, with the rest coming in the first few months of the new year.Even the lower target is proving a challenge for officials and settlement groups working both abroad and domestically to ensure a safe and successful transition from conflict to Canadian life.
FBI: California shooters radicalized at least 2 years ago-Associated Press-DEC 9,15-YAHOO NEWS
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The two San Bernardino shooters were radicalized at least two years ago and had discussed jihad and martyrdom as early as 2013, one year before they married, FBI Director James Comey said Wednesday.Comey told the Senate Judiciary Committee that investigators believe that Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, were radicalized even before they began their online relationship and that Malik held extremist views before she arrived in the U.S. last year.He told the panel that the two "as early as the end of 2013 were talking to each other about jihad and martyrdom before they became engaged and married and were living in the U.S."The disclosure means that Malik's radicalization had already begun when she applied for a visa to come to the U.S. to get married, and that the government's vetting process apparently failed to detect it. Comey said he didn't know enough to say whether weaknesses in the visa process enabled her to enter the U.S.Malik came to the United States in July 2014 from Pakistan after being approved for a K-1, or fiancé visa. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson has said the Obama administration is now reviewing the program. He did not say what changes were being considered.Malik married Farook the following month. Farook was born in Chicago in 1987 and raised in southern California. FBI officials had previously said that the couple had been radicalized for "quite some time," but the disclosure Wednesday was the most specific yet about the timeline of their relationship and progression toward extremism.Comey said the couple was clearly inspired by a foreign terror organization, but that investigators did not yet know whether their online courtship was arranged by such a group or developed naturally on its own."It would be a very, very important thing to know," he said.The FBI director described the couple as an example of homegrown violent extremists who appear to have radicalized "in place," drawing a distinction between the San Bernardino attack and the one last month in Paris that officials suspect involved planning and training in Syria.Comey declined to say what role, if any, encrypted communications played in last week's massacre.Though he said the Obama administration was not seeking to address concerns over data encryption on smartphones, he said he remained concerns that criminals, terrorists and spies were using such technology to evade detection."Increasingly, we are unable to see what they say, which gives them a tremendous advantage," he said.He said one of the gunmen in last May's shooting outside a Prophet Mohammed cartoon contest in Garland, Texas had exchanged more than 100 messages prior to the attack that investigators still had been unable to access.Alicia A.

California shooters discussed martyrdom before meeting: FBI-Reuters By Julia Harte and Mark Hosenball-DEC 9,15-YAHOONEWS
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A couple who massacred 14 people at a California holiday party were discussing martyrdom online a year before they met in person and married, FBI Director James Comey said on Wednesday.Investigators were tracing the radicalization of Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 29, who married in 2014, and evidence mounted that both were interested in Islamist-inspired violence before they became acquainted."They were actually radicalized before they started ... dating each other online, and as early as the end of 2013 they were talking to each other about jihad and martyrdom before they became engaged," Comey said at a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee.A U.S. government source said Farook may have been plotting an attack as early as 2011. This diminishes the likelihood of early theories after the Dec. 2 shootings in California that Malik had radicalized her husband. Twenty-one people were also wounded in the attack.Classifying the massacre as a terrorist act, the Federal Bureau of Investigation believes that the couple, who were killed in a shootout with police a few hours after their attack on Farook's San Bernardino County co-workers at the party, were inspired by foreign terrorist organizations. Comey said it would be "very, very important to know" if their marriage had been arranged by a militant group as a way to carry out attacks in the United States, although he said there was no evidence yet indicating that.The investigation of Farook, who was born in Illinois to Pakistani immigrants, and Malik, who was born in Pakistan and lived most of her life in Saudi Arabia, is looking into his relationship with his boyhood friend Enrique Marquez.According to media reports, Marquez had converted to Islam a few years ago and was connected to Farook's family by marriage.A government source said Farook may have planned an attack in 2011 or 2012 but did not follow through.The source gave no details, but CNN cited two U.S. officials as saying Farook and an unnamed second person selected a target but abandoned their plan after terror-related arrests in the area. Fox News reported Marquez told investigators about the aborted plot.The San Bernardino Sun newspaper quoted investigation sources as saying multiple photographs of Carter High School in Rialto, California were found on Farook's phone.-WEAPONS PURCHASE-The FBI said that in 2011 or 2012 Marquez legally bought the AR-15 assault-style rifles that Farook and Malik used in their attack on the San Bernardino party. A government source familiar with the investigation said authorities were trying to determine if Farook had asked Marquez to buy the weapons so as not to draw attention to himself.Marquez, who worked at a Walmart Supercenter in Corona, California, has not been arrested in the case, but he was questioned by the FBI on Tuesday and his family home was raided over the weekend. Marquez checked himself into a Los Angeles-area psychiatric facility soon after the shooting.State documents showed that last year Marquez married Mariya Chernykh, whose sister is married to Farook's brother, Syed Raheel Farook, a U.S. Navy veteran.It could not be immediately determined if Marquez lived with his wife. The New York Times reported that he split his time between his family's home and that of a girlfriend. Gasser Shehati, a friend of Farook's from a San Bernardino mosque, said Farook told him several years ago that Marquez had converted to Islam.On his marriage certificate, Marquez and his wife listed their religious society/denomination as Islamic Society of Corona/Norco.In a Facebook posting before the attack, Malik pledged loyalty to Islamic State, the militant group that has taken over parts of Iraq and Syria. Coupled with Islamic State attacks in Paris in November that killed 130 people, the San Bernardino assault has elevated concerns about security and immigration in the United States.-VISA QUESTION-Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee grilled Comey about the attack and criticized the Obama administration's response to the militant group Islamic State. If the San Bernardino shooters are proven to have been inspired by Islamic militants, theirs would be the largest such attack on U.S. soil since Sept. 11, 2001.The committee's chairman, Republican Senator Charles Grassley, said the San Bernardino shootings had shown Obama to be "spectacularly wrong" about the security of the U.S. visa screening process since Malik arrived in the United States on a K-1 fiancée visa on which he said she listed a false address."Our government apparently didn't catch the false address in Pakistan that she listed on her application," Grassley said.Comey said in response to a question that he has no reason to believe Islamic State already has cells in the United States."They are trying to motivate people already in the United States to become killers on their behalf and they would very much like to - as they aspire to be the leader in the global jihad - send people here to conduct attacks," Comey said.He said the latter scenario "has not been seen yet."(Additional reporting by Julia Edwards in Washington; Writing by Bill Trott; Editing by Toni Reinhold and Cynthia Osterman)
Muslim groups raise $134K for San Bernardino shooting victims, families-Muslims United for San Bernardino was launched one day after the terrorist attack that left 14 dead in California-By Michael Walsh-DEC 9,15-YAHOONEWS
Muslim-American groups have come together to raise nearly $135,000 for the families of the 14 killed and 21 wounded in the terrorist attack in San Bernardino, Calif.Faisal Qazi, a neurologist and president of the MiNDS Network, launched the local fundraising campaign, Muslims United for San Bernardino, one day after the tragedy at the Inland Regional Center, a facility for people with developmental disabilities.It was intended as a local campaign for Muslim-Americans in Southern California until Tarek El-Messidi, founder of the nonprofit CelebrateMercy, reached out to Qazi and suggested broadening the scope to a national level.“We care for this country. We love this country. While no amount of money will bring back victims’ loved ones for their families, we hope this will alleviate some of the financial burden for these families,” El-Messidi said in an interview with Yahoo News.El-Messidi, who has experience with countrywide campaigns, secured promotions and endorsements from major Muslim organizations throughout the United States, including Zaytuna College and Mental Health 4 Muslims.Within 48 hours, the campaign on LaunchGood, a crowdfunding platform focused on Muslims throughout the world, reached its initial goal of $50,000, so the organizers raised the bar to $140,000.In the wake of the tragedy, El-Messidi said, many Muslims were frustrated and scared that some people were lumping them together with extremists.Perhaps the most public indication of this was Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s call to ban all Muslims from entering the United States until “our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.” The proposal has garnered both domestic and international ridicule, and several prominent scholars challenged it on constitutional grounds.El-Messidi lamented what he considers the unfair and inaccurate representation of most Muslim-Americans as violent and treasonous in parts of the news media.“The truth is far from that. Muslims make about 1 percent of America,” El-Messidi said. “We are actively contributing to America and helping to build society. This campaign is one example of how American Muslims are trying to build and not destroy.”Imam Omar Suleiman was the first major national Islamic figure to endorse the campaign. He said he wanted to bring whatever comfort and relief he could to the families.“Obviously, losing someone is not something that could be compensated in any way. At least we could demonstrate that we were with them as fellow citizens and fellow human beings. This was a phenomenal outpouring of love,” Suleiman told Yahoo News. “Our hearts and minds are with the families of these victims.”Echoing El- Messidi’s sentiments, Suleiman said that these tragedies force the Muslim community in this country to grieve as Americans and worry as Muslims.Muslims have been among the victims, he continued, of major terrorist attacks, including Sept. 11 and the attacks on Paris last month. Anies Kondoker, who survived being shot three times in San Bernardino last week, attended the same mosque as the terrorists.“We suffer as a community, like everyone else,” Suleiman said. “It’s a terrifying climate now where even a disabilities center is not even safe anymore. We are praying for an end to gun violence and terrorism of all sorts.”
Father of Paris attacker would 'have killed' son if he knew of plot-AFP-DEC 9,15-YAHOONEWS
Bischheim (France) (AFP) - The father of the third gunman in the attack on the Bataclan concert hall in Paris said Wednesday he would "have killed" his son had he known what he was planning.Said Mohamed-Aggad told AFP he only found out on Wednesday, with the rest of the nation, that his 23-year-old son Foued was among the three gunmen who sprayed concert-goers with assault rifles, killing 90 people in the worst attack of the November 13 carnage."Of course I'm surprised," he told reporters outside his home in Bischheim, a suburb of the northeastern city Strasbourg.Had he known his son was planning to take part in the jihadist rampage that killed 130 people in total, "I would have killed him myself beforehand," he said.Mohamed- Aggad said he was aware his son had travelled to Syria in 2013 with a group of youths from the Strasbourg area, "but not that he had returned"."The last time I saw him was two years ago when he left. I have no words, I only found out this morning. I have to pull myself together."Foued Mohamed-Aggad was the last of the three Bataclan assailants to be identified, all of them French.The two others -- Omar Ismail Mostefai, 29, and 28-year-old former Paris bus driver Samy Amimour -- had also been in Syria.Two of the gunmen blew themselves up with suicide belts packed with explosives after the Bataclan attack. The third was shot by police who stormed the venue with hundreds of people still inside.
