We up here in Canada have been hearing stories about poor, little Omar Khadr, who was caught by the forces of the Great Satan in the Promised Land, Afghanistan.
He was part of a group of freedom fighters who ambushed the Zionist stooges' convoy, killing one evil hellspawn who went by the "name" of "Sgt. First Class Christopher Speer" and (unfortuantely) injured many more.
Of course, the CBC did an interview with the Khadr family a little while back, who, with one exception, proved that they were such fine examples of Canadian citizenship - such a wonder to behold.
(Matriarch Maha Khadr, and 23-year old daughter, Zaynab) have always claimed that Ahmed Said Khadr (family patriarch, who was killed in Pakistan in October 2003 while working in an al-Qaeda compound) was not a terrorist. But now they say that he was proud to die as a shaheed, a martyr, a soldier of Islam.What a great affirmation of Canadian, multicultural values - come in as political/religious refugees and maintain your identity and beliefs, even if they involve death and murder.
"We believe that death comes when God had planned it, before He created the humanity, it's planned, so I just accept, [but] it hurt," Maha said.
"We believe dying by the hand of your enemy because you believe in… you're doing it in the way of Allah, that it's the best way to die," Zaynab told CBC. "My father had always wished that he would be killed… he would be killed for the sake of Allah. I remember when we were very young he would say, if you guys love me, pray for me that I get jihaded, which is killed."
Maha is proud of Omar. "Of course. He defended himself," she says. "He just did not give any – you know, I thought they were very simple kids."Like, yeah! What's the big fucking deal about starting an ambush that killed an American soldier and getting 3 of your buds iced in return? It's called WAR, of course, and worse things have happened in other conflicts.
"If you were in that situation what would you have done? I must ask everybody that," Zaynab says...
"He'd been bombarded for hours. Three of his friends who were with him had been killed. He was the only sole survivor. What do you expect him to do, come up with his hands in the air? I mean it's a war. They're shooting at him. Why can't he shoot at you? If you killed three, why can't he kill one? Why is it, why does nobody say you killed three of his friends? Why does everybody say you killed an American soldier? Big deal."
The problem seems to be that we pride ourselves in being democratic and tolerant, but when we hear such shit being spewed on our airwaves by those who were supposed to be our fellow citizens about dying for Allah in return for killing some of our own troops, I'd be damned if many people wouldn't be pissed off to the fucking max over it.
It's this shallow accusation of "torture" by loyal Canadian Omar Khadr that really steams me. He should be so damn lucky not to get his head sawn off just like prisoners held by his allies over in Iraq.
This loyal Canadian shouldn't have gotten entangled with this al-Qaeda mess, but it seemed that his family, from Patriarch on down, wanted to follow such a path, and that fucker chose it out of his own volition. Rather than sit this whole mess out, the loyal Khadrs decided, as loyal Canadians, to bite off the feeding hand and try to kill the feeder.
If Khadr was really being tortured in "Gitmo", he should be so fucking lucky that he's been allowed to live.
Somehow, one is tempted to say that the Americans should've done unto others what they were doing unto them. One is tempted to wish that these poor prisoners should be slowly cut into pieces as a warning for others.
If you think that's gross and cruel, read this: you can't win any war with kindness and civility, and sadly, the Yanks are getting it more wrong every day.
