Evidence of al-Qaeda observing Canada; Canadian Press / Yahoo News

In an article by Marten Youssef of the Canadian Press, re-published by Yahoo News, there is a report of 200 Arab Christians being listed on an al-Qaeda website as opponents of Islam, and over 100 of these reside in Canada.

Now it is well known that Canada is a multicultural Mecca, however, what are the odds that over half of those identified would be from one small country? With over 4 million Coptic Christians living outside of Egypt, is it a coincidence that the majority of those named are in Canada?

One explanation is that the info on the Canadians may have been more readily available online, yet it seems that a more likely answer would be somebody hovering nearby, or acting like they are close to the Coptic community, when the reality could be otherwise...
