Al-Qaeda's Representatives in Canada

I feel like the indefinite and potentially endless detention that I suffered in Guantanamo Bay is continuing."
"I hope that there will be some end to this process, but there is none in sight."
"For this reason [to perform a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia in fulfillment of his Islamic duty to take part in the Hajj] I would like to apply for a Canadian passport."
"My sister Zaynab [al-Qaeda's most faithful cheerleader] is not presently in Canada. She is living with her [third] husband and family. As far as I am aware, she is not in any sort of trouble."
Omar Khadr, 32, Canadian citizen, al-Qaeda trainee, former mujaheddin, Edmonton, Alberta

He feels he has suffered more than enough. The restrictions placed on his lifestyle have made this man restive but, he claims, not resentful. He has had quite the background as the second-youngest in the Khadr brood, taken by his father and mother -- Osama bin Laden intimates and loyalists -- back to the theatre of war between Islamofascists and the West. Father Ahmed, eager to ensure that his sons attend mujaheddin training camps so they know how to fire guns, become familiar in the construction of improved explosive devices.

What any decent young Canadian boys and men should experience if their fathers are terrorist financiers and intimates of terrorist leaders. Omar Khadr took part in a firefight between American special forces and the terrorists schooled in jihad determined to reoccupy Afghanistan under Taliban rule. The Taliban leadership had refused to surrender their honoured guest, Osama bin Laden, to U.S. forces, inviting U.S.-led NATO forces to target them along with Osama bin Laden, 9/11 still fresh in everyone's memory.

After Omar Khadr threw the grenade in 2002 that killed army medic Christopher Speer and blinded another U.S. Special Forces man at a militant compound, the-then 15-year-old was taken into custody badly wounded, and nursed back to health through surgeries conducted by U.S. military surgeons. He was detained at Guantanamo Bay as an enemy alien for ten years where he underwent interrogation. Canadian intelligence personnel were present at some of those interrogations.

Which led human rights groups to decry the despicable act of having a 'child' in custody subjecting him to wartime conditions as a prisoner. That Islamofascists commonly recruit young boys into their ranks, dispatching them as 'militants' and suicide bombers is one thing; that Western sources regard such youth as criminals is unforgivable. During the First and Second World Wars young men posing as adults fought for the Allied forces, a commonplace occurrence, deplorable as it may seem.

In 2017 Omar Khadr received an official apology from Canada, along with a $10.5-million compensation settlement for the agonies he suffered through no fault of his own, as a child-soldier, according to the government line and a 2010 Supreme Court of Canada ruling that Canadian intelligence officials obtained evidence from Khadr under 'oppressive circumstances' ... such as sleep deprivation ... while in detention at Guantanamo Bay prison.

All of which has served to convince the man he did nothing wrong, but great wrong has been done to him. And it's high time it stopped because he's been well behaved, hasn't gotten into any trouble lately and as a grown man shouldn't suffer what a little kid channelled by his father was tasked to do. Not that his mother was any less contemptful of the West than his father. She snarled about Canadian warped values but returned to take her rightful advantage as a 'citizen' of social welfare services.



Canadians are so fortunate to have a government, a supreme court and the opportunity to repent the treatment of this child of terror, happy to make amends by affording him a millionaire's lifestyle in recompense for the deplorable conditions he suffered under at Guantanamo Bay for ten long, miserable years. Omar Khadr obviously has no reason to repent anything about his previous life, not the father who set him on the road to Islamofascist violence, nor the mother and sister in full support of it.

Permission to meet with and speak to his venomous sister? A passport to enable him to travel to Saudi Arabia? No Problem. Will we be asking if he's fixed all right for expenses entailed in such travel, or if he needs an additional financial boost to ensure he's happy and well cared for? Ah, the benefits of Canadian citizenship for terrorist-types and their kin!
