If Omar should have been released or whatever, remember that the PM at the time of his arrest was a liberal JC, and it was his govt that did nothing. He was arrested or whatever in 2002, and all the so called indignities he suffered happened under their watch for 4 years. Then PMSH was elected and all of a sudden it was his fault this poor innocent boy was in trouble. JC did nothing for 4 years and we never heard of Omar. Recently a judge refused to send his brother back to the US for trial. A disabled brother was brought back, and has recently been accused of sexual assault.
For someone supposedly shot in the back twice and blinded Omar sure appears in good health. I thought it was the other brother who was shot and paralyzed (supposedly). His mother preferred her boys to be martyrs rather than stay in Canada and grow up to be gay. The daughters wedding was attended by Osama.
This family is a disgrace to Canada, and IMHO should all be deported.
