Re: #2. Omar Khadr apologized to his victim’s widow. So what? Church bells should be pealing coast to coast? Now what, an offer of a Directorship with the John Howard Society? Immigration consultant for the NDP in the works? Federal appointment on the Immigration and Refugee Board? How about a security screener in one of our embassies in a Muslim country? Now that he’s recognized the error of his ways, and he obviously has otherwise why would he be sorry, the list of opportunites are endless. Khadr reportedly has stated a desire to come back to Canada and attend University King’s College in Edmonton, the last time I looked a Christian college? How disappointed he will be to learn that Christians aren’t interested in circuit boards or the natural relationship between radical Islam, cell phones and packets of C4 on public transit. Neither are they interested in pathology such as whether you sever a human head at the 4th or 5th vertebre or whether to slit a person’s throat from left to right or vice versa. The fox is knocking on the henhouse door claiming he’s changed and he won’t hurt anybody and some hen is going to be stupid enough to let him in? Among many other inhuman murderous acts this poor misguided ‘child’ admits he did (with joy in his heart) he was lying about it all? When he said that to lift himself out of the doldrums he would day dream about having killed an American soldier, he was lying then too? But now that he has apologized the bledding heart socialists and liberals along with the cheerleading squads in the MSM in this country are going to wet themselves with joy over Khdar’s sudden and new found desire to (re)join the human (humane) race. So to those suckers who will swallow this BS go ahead, knock yourselves out. You’d better just hope that somebody who doesn’t have their head up their own arse will come and save you when the time comes. Khadr has memorized the Qu’an so he’ll be well versed in this.
“Muslims are permitted to lie: (1) to save their lives, (2) to reconcile a husband and wife, (3) to persuade a woman into a bedroom and (4) to facilitate one on his journey. Muslims are even permitted to disavow Islam and Mohammed if it is not a genuine heart-felt rejection. Muslims will tell you that concealment of a truth is not an abandonment of that truth if it benefits Islam.”
