Toronto man sentenced to 12 years for helping fund ISIS

A Toronto man was sentenced to 12 years in prison for collecting money to help fund and promote terror group ISIS.


On Monday, 36-year-old Khalilullah Yousuf pleaded guilty to two of the three terrorism-related offences he was facing in Ontario Superior Court.

The Public Prosecution Service of Canada said Yousuf admitted he created online fundraising campaigns and collected more than $35,000, and transferred funds — in cash and cryptocurrency — abroad to support the Islamic State.

In addition, Yousuf made and disseminated pro-Islamic State propaganda on social media to radicalize and recruit people to the terror group, and also conducted research and created propaganda to justify terrorist attacks on foreign nationals in Afghanistan.

The remaining charge, facilitating terrorist activity, was dropped as part of the guilty plea.


“At its core, terrorism is violence that seeks to justify itself,” George Dolhai, director of Public Prosecutions, said in a statement.

“But the violence needs support by advocates, recruiters, and financiers as essential parts of the cycle of intimidation and destruction. The verdicts and sentences today represent how Canadian society, in accordance with the rule of law, emphatically holds to account those who make the violence possible.”

Yousuf will be credited for time in custody and must serve half of the sentence before being released on full parole.


In July 2023, the RCMP charged Yousuf following an investigation that began in March 2021 by the force’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET).


The RCMP said the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), the Guardia Civil of Spain and the FBI helped assist the investigation.

In December 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice unsealed a criminal complaint in a Brooklyn, N.Y., court that charged Yousuf and three others — Mohammad David Hashimi, of Potomac Falls, Virginia; Abdullah At Taqi, of Queens, New York; and Seema Rahman, of Edison, New Jersey — with conspiring to provide material support to ISIS.

Yousuf was arrested on Dec. 14, 2022, following a request from the United States.

U.S. court documents alleged Yousuf and Hashimi were members of a group chat on an encrypted social media and mobile messaging service that helped them communicate between and among supporters of ISIS and other groups that adhered to similar violent jihadist ideologies.



In April 2021, members of the chat discussed posting donation links that appeared to be for humanitarian causes but were allegedly intended to help the “mujahideen,” or “holy warriors,” used by ISIS supporters to refer to ISIS fighters.

Yousuf allegedly provided a link to a specific Bitcoin address and another member of the chat posted a link to a PayPal campaign, both of which were controlled by an unnamed individual.

Between February 2021 and July 2022, the four accused allegedly raised and contributed more than $35,000 through a combination of cryptocurrency and other sources, according to court filings.

The defendants themselves allegedly contributed more than $24,000, with Yousuf contributing $20,347.89, Taqi contributing $2,769.35 and Rahman contributing $927.51.

In addition, it was alleged that Yousuf and Rahman created multiple GoFundMe fundraising campaigns pretending to collect money for charitable causes.

He's promoting terror & was given just 12 years & he'll be entitled to get out after serving only 1/2 time of the time he has left since he's been credited for time served. So, he'll be out by Christmas. Good to know! :mad:

They should have charged and convicted everyone that donated to his Isis funding campaign as well.

Man accused of plotting shooting at New York Jewish centre extradited to U.S.

OTTAWA — The U.S. Justice Department says a Pakistani citizen who was living in Canada has been extradited to New York, where he’s accused of plotting to carry out a mass shooting at a Jewish centre.


The RCMP arrested Muhammad Shahzeb Khan in Quebec last September.


The Mounties said at the time he was in the process of planning a deadly attack targeting Jewish people in the U.S. and was facing charges in Canada.

He is now charged in the U.S. with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and attempting to commit terrorism that transcends national boundaries.

The 20-year-old is set to appear in a New York court on Wednesday.



The U.S. Justice Department says Khan was planning an “ISIS-inspired mass shooting” around the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack in Israel on Oct. 7, 2024.


Jay Clayton, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement that Khan planned to “use automatic weapons to kill as many members of our Jewish community as possible, all in support of ISIS.”

The statement said Khan started posting on social media and communicating with people on encrypted messaging apps about his support for ISIS around November 2023.

After he shared ISIS propaganda online, he started communicating with undercover law enforcement officers. He told them he and an American associate, who is not named in the statement, were planning an attack.


The Justice Department statement said Khan told the undercover officers to buy AR-style assault rifles, ammunition and other materials, and he gave them details about how he planned to cross the border.


Last August, he changed his planned target and told the undercover officers he had decided to carry out a mass shooting at a Jewish centre in Brooklyn on or around Oct. 7, 2024.

“During one communication, Khan noted that ‘if we succeed with our plan this would be the largest attack on U.S. soil since 9/11,”‘ the statement said.

Khan tried to reach the U.S. border on Sept. 4, 2024. The Justice Department said he used three separate cars to travel through Canada toward the border and was stopped by Canadian authorities near Ormstown, Que., about 20 km from the border.

The allegations have not been proven in court. If convicted, Khan faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Thank goodness they got him. My worry is that there are hundreds if not thousands more of these people who are willing to do horrible stuff in the name of ....whatever.

Now they work for Israel.....again
Likely not. I think antifa, the Islamists & the Progressives are all working together to destroy what we have in the West. But hey, guess that's ok for a lot of people until it comes to bite them in the ass! Just sayin.... Hopefully, I'll be 6 feet under when it comes to fruition unless we do something now. But, cowards never step up to the plate!!

It's actually kind of amazing how little faith you have in the West, Canada, or conservatism. Your assumption that the EEE-vil Muzzies and their progressive dupes will ultimately win is kinda sad.

There's nothing like preparing for what you hope NEVER comes!! It IS sad isn't it? Listen to what they're saying in cities across the continent & in Europe & tell me we shouldn't be concerned. These people are well funded & organized. With our current crop of weak politicians, especially in Canada, I'm not overly confident that things will improve anytime soon. It's called being "realistic!"

When's the last time you "stepped up to the plate?"

For me, it was my 12 years of service.

I didn't but my hubby put in over 20 years! So, I may not have "enrolled" myself, but I did my part sweetie, just like every other military wife! And, I continue to support common sense whether it be on the keyboard or otherwise! So I'd suggest that you not make assumptions!

Good on Israel. I hope they succeed in destroying Iran's nuclear projects, hopefully with U.S. bunker bombs & hopefully the Iranians themselves can overthrow their tyrannical government. The leadership of Iran are death cultists but then you are aware of that.

Damn, the enemy of your enemy…might still want to behead you. Good times. Hamas as a Muslim Brotherhood appendage supposedly works within the systems established through “peaceful” means😂, & ISIS doesn’t.
