Tumultus
village in Turkey and placed them in a massive government housing complex in Vancouver, British Columbia.  Their neighbors within this complex were hundreds of other families from throughout the Middle East.
     
    Just days after arriving in Vancouver, Imran’s family was visited by yet more officers of the Sharia Compliance Office and given direct instructions on how they were to be a part of a massive Islamic insurgency within Canada, an extension of the Global Jihad program they had been informed of already when still living in Turkey.  Imran’s father was promised a larger home as well as a possible position of authority within the Sharia Compliance Office of Vancouver if their work to help Sharia become the dominant authority throughout the area was done well.
     
    Most of the newly transplanted Muslims, as well as Muslims already living in the city complied with the orders, and the streets of Vancouver were witness to repeated acts of brutality and chaos.  This chaos quickly spread to other cities throughout Canada – cities that also had seen a forced immigration of thousands upon thousands of radicalized Muslims.
     
    Non-Muslims were the first to flee these cities, finding homes in the less urban areas of Canada.  Then the moderate or non-practicing Muslims soon followed.  What was left in those cities then were the most authoritarian Sharia Muslims who were allowed to rape and murder any who opposed them.  The new global government did nothing to stop the carnage, but rather was the one to encourage that brutality. 
     
    The New United Nations had promised Recep Erdogan vast nations within which he would be allowed to freely promulgate his Sharia Law beliefs.  What happened in Canada was duplicated in Australia, Sweden, and Spain.  These former nations then became places ruled by the most fanatical of Muslim warlords who in turn fought amongst themselves for further power and influence.  The only condition placed upon these warlords by the New United Nations, was that they supplied the global government with the very things it had banned throughout the world - things ranging from the fossil fuels that powered the airliners that only the ruling class within the New United Nations could use, to the drugs government officials had declared immoral while they themselves consumed them in ever increasing quantities. 
     
    Canada had become a brutal and dangerous place, and it had been Imran’s home for the last seventeen years of his life.  His father and mother were dead, the location of his siblings, if still alive, long unknown to him.  Imran had come to quietly support a growing movement within both Canada and the United States by those that had once called themselves citizens of those former governments, to overthrow the tyranny of the New United Nations.  He had begun to cross the border into what had once been the state of Alaska to trade goods with others like himself who hoped to do the same.  It was during one of those trips he had met a man some had taken to calling the Irish Cowboy – Cooper Wyse.  Like Imran, Cooper had also been looking for a way to help others obtain things needed to defy the authority of the New United Nations.  The two men had been working together for nearly a decade now.  It was to the drop cabin they both used to deliver goods from Canada into Alaska that Imran now found himself walking toward.  This time though, Cooper had told him they would be delivering the goods from Alaska into Canada, and Imran’s help was needed to make that happen as quickly, quietly, and safely as possible.
     
    So lost was he in his thoughts about how he would go about accomplishing Cooper’s request, as well as the difficulty in seeing more than a few feet around him due to the darkness, that Imran failed to notice the large figure that loomed behind him with a gun pointed to his head.
     
    “Don’t you move, little man.  Stay right there.”
