Newly released details show Canadian Muslim jihadist Michael Zehaf-Bibeau wasn’t so crazy after all. Just “crazy” like a fox, like a clever jihadist. The same might be said for his parents, who look like they are practicing taqiyyah, the Muslim practice of deceiving the infidels in the name of jihad. They haven’t been too honest about the state of their marriage. They are still together, the Mrs.–a top immigration official–and the Mr.–a Libyan Muslim terrorist “rebel.” And why won’t Canadian authorities release his jihadist death video? Then, there are the questions about the involvement of his mosque in the whole plot, which appears to be a lot more than what mosque leaders would like you to believe.

Last week, I told you I didn’t think Zehaf-Bibeau’s actions were those of mentally ill person, but, rather, those of a cold, calculating Muslim. And, now, with more information coming out about Zehaf-Bibeau, including that he made a video declaring himself a mujahid (a jihadist), it’s looking more and more like I was right. It’s also looking more and more like the suspicions I had about Zehaf-Bibeau’s parents are well-founded.

Canadian authorities won’t release the video Zehaf-Bibeau made. First, they said they wouldn’t release it at all. Now, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Commissioner Bob Paulson says he “would like to release the video.” What is on the video? All we know is that the video shows, according to Paulson, that Zehaf-Bibeau was “driven by political and ideological motives.” Um, no sh-t, Sherlock. Let’s see what he says on it. I’ll bet you it doesn’t show a mentally ill man . . . or even one who was slightly crazy. I’ll bet it shows a serious Muslim very committed to Islam and very much sane and in control of what he was doing.

And that goes to Zehaf-Bibeau’s finances. We’ve heard stories that he was a drifter with no money and so on. And, yet, on the Tuesday, October 21, the day before his attacks in Ottawa, he had enough money to purchase a car, a beige vehicle which he used in the course of his attacks.

How does a homeless drifter with no money afford a vehicle?

Well, in fact, he wasn’t poor at all. It was a ruse. In many cases, as in this case, Islamic terrorists use homeless shelters and hostels (see Shoe Bomber Richard Reid a/k/a Abdullah Al-Muhajir) to hide out and conceal who they are and what they are doing. It’s a good hideout because homeless shelters and hostels are transient places and nobody keeps much of an eye on those who come in and out of them. And, in fact, Zehaf-Bibeau wasn’t poor. He socked away plenty of money, which he earned working in Alberta’s oil fields. Paulson said Zehaf-Bibeau “had access to a considerable amount of funds.” The Toronto Star reports that Zehaf-Bibeau paid $650 cash for the beige Toyota.

More interesting is that, per the Star, prior to going to Ottawa, he lived at a mosque in Calgary (they aren’t saying which mosque–why?). That information is known because photo radar in Edmonton caught his car speeding (in Edmonton on August 1, 2014). The car was registered in his name, Michael Bibeau, with the Calgary Islamic center listed as his address (whether or not he was driving the car remains unknown). But he only “bought” the car the day before his attack? Why? That’s weird and suspicious, and it means that either someone at the mosque owned the car before he bought it or that he owned it before but only changed his registration just before the attack. What happened at that mosque? Is it usual for “homeless people” to live at mosques? No. And then, why did Zehaf-Bibeau just suddenly move out of the mosque–a mosque to which he had such a close connection that he registered it as his address for his vehicle–for a homeless shelter? That’s not just odd. It’s calculating. And the Star reports he moved into an Ottawa homeless shelter on October 2nd.

Then, there is the question of his parents’ marriage. At least two readers noted my question about Bulgasem Zehaf, the terrorist’s Libyan Muslim father, who, himself, was a terrorist fighter for Al-Qaeda “rebels” in Libya. Again, as I asked before, where is he? Why has no one in the press ambushed him at the home he still shares with Susan Bibeau? What was the nature of his influence upon and contacts with his son? And why, if Zehaf and Susan Bibeau split up and are divorced, are they still sharing a home in Montreal? Are they–as I’ve seen many Muslims in the U.S. do, to avoid detection and legal obligations–only divorced under Canadian law but still together under Islamic law? Don’t bet against that.

It bears noting, also, that Susan Bibeau–the terrorist’s desperate fat chick mother (of the usual variety that usually marry Muslim immigrants and get ’em their green card)–originally named her son “Joseph Paul Michael Bibeau,” but later both parents filed a legal petition to change it to ” Joseph Paul Michael Abdallah Bulgasem Zehaf-Bibeau.” Looks like they converted the son to Islam before he consciously chose to do so himself.

Reader J.:

According to the Toronto Star, the mother Susan Bibeau splits her time between Ottawa and Montreal. Here’s the kicker — reports claim she got a divorce in the 1990’s, but they still share the house in Montreal. Also, when Susan Bibeau wrote her sob letter to the press (alleging her son was simply insane — no jihadist connections) the letter was written on both parents behalf. Both had “signed” the letter.

Reader Peter:

There may be a lot of background not yet focused about the Zehaf-Bibeau family as scant reports in the media indicate Susan Bibeau, up to the time of the shooting, shared her time between her Ottawa work-related residence and the family home in Montreal. This arrangement despite a previous divorce from Michael’s father.

Questions:

Was the divorce a cover?

Were Susan Bibeau and her husband deliberately distancing themselves because of Susan Bibeau’s highly sensitive senior position with the Canadian Immigration Refugee Board ?

What we have here is a complicated family and where is the elusive Libyan father of the shooter today??

Good questions, the most important of which–one which I raised last week on this site–is: WHERE the heck is Bulgasem Zehaf?

After all this new info, do you still think Michael Zehaf-Bibeau is a ranting, crazy lunatic and not a cool, calm, calculating Muslim who had ample help and aid in his jihad?

If you do, I have some land under the Canadian Parliament building to sell you. Eh?

Micheal Zehaf-Bibeau’s actions weren’t that of a mentally ill man. But they were the actions of a Muslim.
