OMAR KADHR
Why do we want that shit of Omar Kadhr in Quebec and his family
TORONTO - Canada’s problem child is coming home and there’s not much we can do about it.
All the Canadian terrorist are with Omar Khadr
The repatriation of Omar Khadr from his prison cell at notorious Guantanamo Bay is now just weeks away. All the foot dragging by the Harper government can’t delay the inevitable much longer.
The question is: Now what?
What will we do with our infamous child soldier? Set him free as his supporters will no doubt demand? Make him a media star who travels the highly-paid speech circuit decrying his inhumane treatment at the U.S. naval base with an autobiography and movie rights to follow?
Or will we treat him like the admitted killer that he is and make him serve out his sentence?
Now 25, the convicted war criminal was 15 when he hurled the hand grenade that killed U.S. Sgt. Chris Speer during a firefight in Afghanistan, near the Pakistani border in July 2002. In American custody ever since, a U.S. military commission jury wanted to give him 40 years behind bars.
Instead, an October 2010 plea bargain saw Khadr sentenced to eight more years in prison in return for his pleading guilty to five war crimes, including murder, spying and terrorism.
As part of the deal, Khadr would have to serve just one year more at the U.S. naval base before being transferred to Canada. By the letter of the agreement, he was eligible to be repatriated six months ago but his request is only just landing in Ottawa.
And now the sole Canadian citizen — and last Western detainee — left at Gitmo, Khadr will soon be jetting back to the country he barely knows.
The progeny of Canada’s first family of terrorism was born in Scarborough but was soon uprooted when his dad, al-Qaida bagman Ahmed Said Khadr, moved the clan to Afghanistan. While his former friends were going to Scouts, he was meeting Osama bin Laden and attending bomb-making training camp.
To his supporters — and there are many — he is an abused young man who had the misfortune of being born into the wrong family and should be released on parole as soon as soon as he steps foot on our soil.
If given credit for his pre-trial custody, Khadr could be heading to a halfway house near you. And from there, into the bosom of his frightening family.
The terrorist patriarch was killed by Pakistani forces in October 2003. Younger brother Karim, then 14, was paralyzed from the waist down in the same shootout. Older brother Abdullah Khadr is wanted in the U.S. for conspiracy to kill Americans outside the U.S., as well as purchasing arms for al-Qaida terrorists in eastern Afghanistan. Sister Zaynab is suspected of running an al-Qaida training camp in Afghanistan in the 1990s.
Mother Maha el-Samna has said she’d rather raise her children to fight than live in Canada where they could become homosexuals or addicted to drugs.
Khadr’s long-running case has been a touchy thorn in the side of the Americans and the Canadians from the start. Despite repeated calls from human rights groups and opposition MPS, the federal government wanted nothing to do with its young citizen. Meanwhile, the Obama administration has long wanted this headache gone.
And here he comes.
As part of his plea deal, Khadr agreed not to profit from any publication of his story or receive credit for time served. But knowing our lenient system, it’s easy to see those stipulations fly out the window. Under Canada’s International Transfer of Offenders Act, any time spent in custody between arrest and sentencing counts as time served, making him immediately eligible for parole.
If he was just a poor victimized child soldier who has now found his way, we have nothing to fear. But what if he’s not?
At least one American expert has sounded a chilling warning. After examining him over eight hours, the prosecution’s forensic psychiatrist told a military sentencing tribunal that Khadr shows no remorse and is likely to re-enter a life of terrorism.
“He’s highly dangerous,” Dr. Michael Welner told the hearing 18 months ago. “In my professional opinion, Omar Khadr is at a high risk of dangerousness as a radical jihadist.”
We want him and all his family to go back in their country.
These people are not CANADIAN they are TERRORIST and all the family should be deported.
