Politic?

This is a blog dedicated to a personal interpretation of political news of the day. I attempt to be as knowledgeable as possible before commenting and committing my thoughts to a day's communication.

Canada's Islamist Despicables

"I, Charles Adler, would not apologize to Omar Khadr, even if you offered me $10.5-million. It would be a betrayal."
"Sure, he checks off all the boxes. He was technically a Canadian. But who believes his family were ever Canadians in spirit? He was technically a child soldier. But he wasn't some kid who'd been kidnapped and turned into a robot and forced to kill people at gunpoint."
"It's not that people on the street don't understand the Charter. They do. But almost every time they hear about the Charter, it's about a bad guy – a drug dealer or a pedophile. And the lawyers tell them it was such a good thing that the Charter was upheld, because that means all our rights are upheld. But most of them aren't contemplating being pedophiles or drug dealers. Most of them think that when you turn your guns on your own country, you stop being a Canadian. And they feel locked out."
"The elites think these folks don't understand the rule of law. Well, they do understand the law. They just don't like what the law tells them to do."
"People feel they've been had. And they don't like it."
Charles Adler, radio host, Corus Radio Network, Vancouver

"I am now an adult and I think independently. Even if the members of my family were to wish to influence my religious or other views, they would not be able to control or influence me in any negative manner."
"I would like to be able to spend time with her [sister Zaynab] and the rest of our family when she is here. As far as I am aware, Zaynab is not involved in any criminal activities and is frequently in contact with the Canadian embassy in order to ensure that her paperwork is up to date."
"I’m not excusing what they [his mother and sister, though he excuses what he did] said. I’m not justifying what they said. They were going through a hard time. They said things out of anger or frustration."
"I wish to become independent and to put my legal matters behind me. I am a law-abiding citizen and I wish to live free of court-imposed conditions."

"He has been perfectly well behaved since his release [from prison]."
"Regardless of what Zaynab may have said in a documentary many years ago, there is no danger whatsoever of somebody somehow corrupting Omar into becoming a bad person."
Nathan Whitling, Khadr lawyer

"[Those behind the 2001 New York/Washington/Pennsylvania attacks had a wish to hit the government of the U.S.] where it will hurt it, not the people. But sometimes innocent people pay the price."
"You don't want to feel happy, but you just sort of think, well, they deserve it, they've been doing it [to others] for such a long time. Why shouldn't they feel it once in a while?" 2004 CBC interview
"All sects of Islam have agreed unanimously that homosexual acts are a sin, hijab is mandatory, imams must be men."
"If you reject this, you are lying to yourself and you are weak in faith Accept Islam for what it is or leave our mosques." 2017 Facebook entry

Now that the government of Canada in the person of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has formally apologized to former youth jihadi Omar Khadr and settled the lawsuit that he brought against the very same government for $20-million to compensate him for pain and suffering he underwent as an innocent child in Afghanistan and then Guantanamo Bay when U.S. medics saved his life from the serious injuries he sustained when he killed an American military medic, Justin Trudeau has surprised Canadians rather unpleasantly by bestowing $10-million of Canadian taxpayer money on the man.

Government apologists have gone out of their way to supinely explain to stupid Canadians that there was no other option but to give this munificent sum to a terrorist whose father, an Egyptian and mother, a Palestinian raised their children in jihad and ordered their sons to attend jihadi combat training schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Their daughter, Zaynab, an avowedly passionate defender of Osama bin Laden, was able to personally thank bin Laden for attending her second marriage ceremony.

Now that Omar Khadr has his reward for patiently waiting for the government of Canada to reach its right senses in acknowledging him to be a pitiable victim of harsh American penalties for lobbing grenades at its fighting men, he has gone to court to have restrictions in his bail conditions lifted, which assert that he can only have contact with his al-Qaeda-supporting, Western-loathing mother and sister in the presence of intermediaries. To that end he has petitioned the Court of Queen's Bench to relax his bail to enable unencumbered visits with  his sister and mother.

He has filed an affidavit with the court claiming that if family members did make an effort to unduly influence him, they would fail since, at age 30, he is an adult with his own independent thoughts and values. Omar Khadr, certifies his lawyer, is now incontrovertibly a good man, and exposure to his family's contempt for Canadian values while honouring those of al-Qaeda can do nothing to convert him into a 'bad person'.

When a journalist attempted to contact his mother, Maha Elsamnah, at her Toronto home, whoever answered the call asserted: "Every time (Omar) sh--s, you have to write about it? Don't call back and don't bother her [his mother]", he snarled before hanging up. His sister, living with her fourth husband in Sudan, after living in Malaysia and then in Egypt, has plans, after giving birth yet again, to return to Canada for a visit. And her brother Omar doesn't want to miss the opportunity to commune with his sister.

As a Canadian citizen, after all, he has all the constitutional rights to live his life normally and with all protections under equality laws guaranteed to all other Canadians. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms, he argues, protects him and asserts his equal rights. After all, though the RCMP identified the family as supporters of al-Qaeda who saw nothing whatever wrong with Taliban rule in Afghanistan, his sister insists her family had only the best interests of Afghans uppermost in mind.
