Activities and Ammunition

ammunition: Those activities include statements he made extolling the virtues of jihad, postings on his Facebook showing him posing with firearms, and a photograph of the Scotiabank tower in Toronto which he captioned, If only I had a plane, the ruling states, according to Globe and Mail. According to evidence presented, Ansari amassed $20,000 in weapons and ammunition from May to August 2012 while living in Peterborough, Ont. Ansari has been engaged in activities dating back to 2004 which raise very serious concerns regarding whether he has an extremist mindset and whether he supports or has supported terrorist activities, Seifert said in her written ruling. It could have been acceptable that the reason he spent $20,000 purchasing guns and ammunition was the result of the financial irresponsibility of youth and the novelty of having hundreds of thousands of dollars at his disposal for the first time, Seifert wrote. Ansari also admitted to a close relationship with a Pakistani man — Maulana Ilyas Ghuman — who runs a religious school in Pakistan. The fact, however that he amassed $20,000 in guns and ammunition over such a short period raises questions and concerns, that remain plausibly unanswered, regarding his motives and whether there was an underlying plan.
