A troubled young man who had declared his support for the Islamic State and planned a major suicide attack was shot to death in a residence in the town of Strathroy, Ontario during a raid by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The incident had nothing to do with Islam. Experts believe that Aaron Driver, 23, was mentally ill, had been bullied in school, and was radicalized suddenly on the Internet. OK, so I made all those up — the only expert is me — but still…
And we haven’t heard Mr. Driver’s other name yet, his jihad name, the one he took after he reverted to Islam. It will be a long time before the Canadian media let that one escape.…
