Canada: Muslim convicted of terrorism in U.S. asks for second chance, blames West for his turn to “extremism”

64

“In a 24-page handwritten submission before his sentencing, Abdulrahman El-Bahnasawy said frustration with how the West treated Islam turned him toward extremism.” Why should he be given a second chance on that basis? What if he gets “frustrated” again? What if President Trump does something he doesn’t like? This blaming of the West is all too common among jihad terrorists, who never take responsibility for their actions. But the idea of its being introduced in court in a terror proceeding is ludicrous, and any judge who takes it seriously should be impeached and removed from the bench.

“Canadian convicted of terrorism in U.S. asks for 2nd chance,” CBC News, March 3, 2018:

A Canadian who was convicted of plotting a terror attack targeting Times Square and the subway system in New York City is asking a judge for a second chance ahead of a sentencing hearing in April.

Story continues below advertisement

In a 24-page handwritten submission before his sentencing, Abdulrahman El-Bahnasawy said frustration with how the West treated Islam turned him toward extremism.

The 20-year-old, a Mississauga, Ont., resident, described anger at the U.S. and its allies for “disrupting our life (sic) and murdering our civilians with reckless airstrikes …,” writing later that it was appropriate to use similar methods back. He wrote he was not trying to justify his actions, but just wanted to explain his thought process at the time.

He was 18 when he was arrested in New Jersey on a family trip, accused of conspiring to attack New York City in the name of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Agent communicated with Canadian, 2 others

El-Bahnasawy had shipped bomb-making materials to a contact in the U.S. who turned out to be an undercover FBI agent. The agent had been communicating electronically with El-Bahnasawy and two others in the months leading up to the failed attack.

Two other men — Talha Haroon, a 19-year-old U.S. citizen living in Pakistan, and Russell Salic, a 37-year-old Philippine citizen — were arrested outside of the U.S. for the plot.

El Bahnasawy pleaded guilty to numerous terrorism charges in October 2016, but his case was sealed for a year until the other two suspects were arrested.

In his letter to the judge, El-Bahnasawy apologizes for his behaviour, writing, “I want to experience life away from drugs and away from war and violence.”

He describes growing up in Kuwait feeling isolated because of his Egyptian heritage and that after moving to Canada, he became enamoured with and eventually addicted to drugs. Letters from his parents describe various ways the family attempted to get him help, including moving back to the Middle East and seeking treatment at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto. There was also a trip to a psychiatric hospital and another rehab facility along the way.

But El-Bahnasawy relapsed after months at CAMH and his family sent him to an Islamic school, where, he describes in the letter, how initially, he didn’t identify as a Muslim, but soon became interested in the religion.

El-Bahnasawy describes his realization that “Islam would fix all the problems in society or the world in general, and that its system and lifestyle would have prevented the life I lived.”

He doesn’t go into detail about the plot he was convicted of or his interactions with the undercover agent, except to describe a time when he forgot the code he used to talk to his contacts and thought it was a message from God to walk away. He eventually remembered he had written it backwards.

“I wonder where my life would be if my memory just hadn’t worked that day,” he writes to Judge Richard Berman….

The Muslims I worked with said they will change things as more immigrate in. But at least in terms of office politics because their usual supporters are Indians (most Muslims are Indians) they can bring about more subtle sexist policies but have to compromise with non Muslim indians so cannot get complete sharia law into departments. However they block everyone else from getting promoted.

It’s a lot worse than just blocking “everyone else from getting promoted.” At my last job, at a Fortune 500 company, there was a division that was run by a f’ing muslum. That division came to be known as the Dearborn division, because ALL the hiring managers were f’ing muslums and more than 80% of the employees.

If anyone thinks for a moment that Islam can be accommodated think again.
The Koran and related scriptures state very explicitly that there can be no compromise with any other culture.
In the last analysis one can a)convert to Islam or b) pay a prohibitive tax in perpetuity to Islam or c) lose one’s head.
I am not making this up or being gratuitously anti-Islam. This is stated very clearly in the Koran. Conclusion….if we want to preserve our culture we have a fight on our hands.

This ‘Ontario resident’, this ‘Canadian’, says: the West is “disrupting our life and murdering our civilians”. Sit him down and make him watch footage of 9/11 and the unprovoked murder of 3000 innocent civilians by his fellow Muslims. THAT is disruption and murder on a monstrous scale. Then deport him to one of those peaceful Islamic countries he clearly admires so much.

As for his belief that “Islam would fix all the problems in society or the world in general”. That is BEYOND belief, given the chaos, violence, intolerance and backwardness of virtually every country in the Muslim world. A world trapped forever in the 7th century.

As usual, the muslim denies any personal responsibility for his actions. It is always some one else’s fault that they are forced into being more subhuman murdering creatures of demonic origin. muslims are liars, anything he says has to be considered an outright lie, it is not worth the bother to even consider there is a word of the truth in it.

His attitude is a reflection of the Ontario education system; that the rich are to blame for everything and people should not have to work for a living. The alt-left, along with feminazi teachers, are teaching nonsense. It’s not because he attended an Islamic school as they still have to abide by Ontario guidelines. The education system should be teaching obedience to the law and that academic success coupled with hard work means a better life. And it should be teaching students the dangers of Islamic fundamentalism. But try explaining that to idiots like Premier Kathleen Wynne and Prime Minister Jihad Trudope.

So Abdulrahman El-Bahnasawy was connecting with the Leftist Sewer, and his family decided to ‘cure’ him by sending him to an Islamic reeducation camp where he (re)learned hatred and bigotry and decided to redeem himself with his ‘god’ through some violence and terrorism. … And this is our fault how?

Easy. It’s our fault b/c the Left and Islam cannot take the blame for the consequences of their Hate Ideology.

When the inevitable violence and hate ensues, they must blame the victims – and those who are defending the victims or trying to put an end to the violence.

Tyranny of Shaming
American Race Wars as Seen by an Immigrant
by Nonie Darwish
March 11, 2018 at 5:00 am

https://www.gatestoneinstit

“The bias of many Americans against American values has blinded them from seeing the reasons we immigrants went through hell to come to this country. Many Americans believe that those who criticize the culture from which we escaped must be “Islamophobic.” They seem not to understand why we never again want to see what we have gone through so much to escape from.

Such attacks on the white majority in Americans are, bluntly, racist. It is a shame that so many Americans are unable or refuse to see what many immigrants see: that it was under this white majority that millions of oppressed people — of all colors and creeds — from around the world were rescued from tyranny, Sharia law, slavery, discrimination, Islamism and a miserable existence under corrupt, war-torn and famine-stricken nations. Instead, many seem to want to bring all that here.

We watched American freedoms as a dream: to be able to smile back at a man who opened the door for you without accusations of being a loose woman for smiling. To be able to wear what you want, go out when you want, work or get an education or not, and venture to hope one day to live under a system that respects monogamy and equal rights for women and minorities. Yes, it is the American culture where whites are the majority, no problem with that, that made our dreams come true. Despite its shortcomings no other country in the world offers its citizens the chance to be whatever they would like. We might never get back what we already have.

Every day we hear on television, “We need an honest discussion about race in this country”.

Many well-meaning Americans, however, may have had enough of this endless, empty and dysfunctional discussion of race. To an outsider, Americans seem obsessed with race; and the discussion always deteriorates to shouting, insulting, blaming, finger-pointing, distorting reality and removing any hope of taking responsibility for oneself. The goal of the discussion always seems to be to try to claim that “I am holier than thou.”

We immigrants, on the other hand, the minute we land in the US, we feel the political struggle for our vote.

The day I got my citizenship and went out to register to vote, some people in the room told me to register as a Democrat because the Democrats would protect my rights from the racist establishment and give me “stuff.” Many of the people who had come with me did register that way, but I found the urging alarming. I grew up under a socialist, totalitarian system under the leadership of President Gamal Abdel Nasser in Egypt — a nanny state that also gives you “stuff’.” What many Americans do not realize is that the free stuff can be too expensive

Many Americans do not seem to learn much from history; perhaps (to everyone’s peril) it is not even being taught. The outcome is that these understandably frustrated citizens appear to hope that the failed socialist systems will right the wrongs they feel done to them, or at least allow them to live comfortable lives without worries about healthcare or education.

Nasser’s Egypt, however, revealed the danger of falling into the trap of a government’s false promises. Nasser said he wanted to change Egypt fundamentally. Unfortunately, he succeeded. To this day, Egypt can hardly get itself out of the rot of Nasser’s 1952 revolution. He promised to give all Egyptians free education and free health care. He seized properties, businesses and vast farmland so he could redistribute the wealth by dividing it into tiny portions for everyone to have a little. In the process, a new, even more corrupt class, was born. Most people ended up with virtually nothing. Just look, for example, at Venezuela — free stuff and corruption have turned an oil-rich country into a poverty-stricken hell.

Several generations of Americans seem to have been brought up on the false premise that if someone loves this country, its liberties, its culture and its way of life or God, they must be “racist.” If they are white and not Democrats, the assumption goes, they must be “racist.” As the majority of the population of America happens to be white, whites are supposedly the face of America: “racists” holding on to their guns and Bibles and depriving the rest of the country of a socialist Utopia.

Generations of Americans also seem to have been brought up with an exaggerated view of “white privilege” — to the degree that at this point it is probably a bit of a lie, as though achieving success and wealth in America were due to the luck of the skin-color lottery rather than, as Justice Clarence Thomas has been arguing, to hard work. Here, however, “free” education may be at fault. Yes, everybody is able to get it, but it is terrible. So, in reality, nobody really gets much of an education — at least one that provides an equal opportunity to compete with someone who has receive a private education. The best once can say is that it is still better than no education at all, which is what much of the world still gets. At bottom, if you are born into a home where education is not valued, you may be permanently lost.

The use of the word “racist” in the West is used similarly the word “infidel” in Islamic societies. Such words become useful shaming tools to coerce people into compliance. They are not used to discuss matters; they are used to abort discussion, silence opposition, and often to threaten the livelihood and even the life of those who dissent. These are words are intended to render anyone who does not agree as evil and a pariah.

Like the shame-based culture of the Middle East, many Americans today, presumably to avoid the backlash of being shamed, seem to have fallen into the trap of “group think”. If, God forbid, you are seen as Republican, conservative, or if you prefer capitalism to socialism or do not belong to a victim group, shaming will be directed at you. Impressionable new generations of Americans naively take this bait. They are fearful of giving an opinion lest they be called “racist.”

The Muslim world has successfully been using this tyranny of shaming for centuries to enforce compliance. Today if you ask a question to a man on the Arab street, you will most likely get a prefabricated answer — one that is probably the un-thought-through opinion of the majority. This technique is frequently used in the Islamic culture — in addition to terror of course — to crush the non-Muslim “infidels” out of existence. Today, in the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity, hardly anyone is living peacefully.

That many Democrats seem to be planning “fundamentally to change America” by making white people the minority and replacing them with immigrants — both legal and illegal — is no longer a secret. In 2015, former Vice President Joe Biden said that “whites” becoming a minority in America is a “good thing”:

“An unrelenting stream of immigration. Nonstop, nonstop. Folks like me who are Caucasian, of European descent, for the first time in 2017 we’ll be an absolute minority in the United States of America. Absolute minority. Fewer than 50% of the people in America from then and on will be white European stock. That’s not a bad thing. That’s a source of our strength.”

Minority leader Nancy Pelosi recently joined in, saying that President Trump’s immigration plan would ‘make America White again.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer cited “skin color” in voting against a white federal judge nominee. He justified the vote as, “Having a diversity of views and experience on the federal bench is necessary for the equal administration of justice.”

That view, however, while trying to right a perceived wrong, is itself fundamentally racist.

Ironically, it is the white leaders in politics and media who have become central in advocating the elimination of “white American culture” — presumably to assemble a majority of voters who would elect Democrats and a socialist economy forever. Such attacks on the white majority in Americans are, bluntly, racist. It is a shame that many Americans are unable or refuse to see what many immigrants see: That it was under this white majority that millions of oppressed people from around the world, of all colors and creeds, were rescued from tyranny, Sharia law, slavery, discrimination, Islamism and a miserable existence under corrupt, war-torn and famine-stricken nations. Instead, many seem to want to bring much of that here.

How could politicians who advocate displacing white people in America to make them a minority think it is a good thing? This logic is cruel towards great citizens of a great nation that did so much good in the world. It was not Africa, China, South America, Europe or Russia that spoke for the oppressed and brought them to live in freedom; it was America — white, black, Indian, Asian and everything in between — and its Judeo-Christian values that did this.

Is it any wonder that many Americans today feel cheated, alienated and that their country, culture and way of life are being ripped apart along racial, gender and economic lines, by politicians, media and academics, all seemingly hell-bent on changing America’s culture, demography, laws and Constitution?

Even ambitious globalists seem interested in changing only the West, not in promoting changes for the rest of the world, no matter how oppressive it clearly is. To them, the number one enemy to their plans for America is most likely independent-thinking Americans, who treasure its accomplishments, Constitution and freedoms – all of which have been fought for, so hard won, and built over many decades.

Globalists, who seem to prefer “international values” over Western ones, seem convinced that only if white America is out of the way, then the progressive plan, to change America fundamentally, could be achieved faster. Immigrants, especially from third world countries, are seemingly to them the solution to injecting “new blood” into the country. The argument, however, is not about immigrants — no one is objecting to having more people come to America. The question is about two decisions. One is: Who should be preferred — skilled or unskilled people or a mixture of both. The second is: How they get here — legally, by waiting for years, or illegally.

The mind-set currently in fashion — again similar to the mind-set used in the Middle East to defend Islamic goals — is to blame everything wrong in the system on the outside world, especially the West. Loathing oneself, in Western culture, has now been elevated to a badge of honor. This view does not go unnoticed by enemies of the West. Instead of searching for solutions that work for America to make it better, many Americans seem to want to overthrow everything – even the good parts. America’s enemies love watching that, especially when Americans agree with them to blaming the West and especially white people. It is a marriage of Western self-loathing with Islamic loathing-of-the-other: they both loathe the same thing.

I remember, as a new immigrant, hearing a distinguished white professor in Berkeley say, “The white male is the most oppressive in the world’. I told him, “I was raised under the cruelty of Sharia law and the Islamic authority for thirty years. I find the Western white male culture to be more gentlemanly towards women than any other culture in the world”. I asked him if he knew that slavery flourished under Muslims before America was ever discovered, and that it still does today.

Many in America who have already bought into this lie about “oppression” sound as if they are in a state of rage against their own country. To these dissatisfied Americans — as to Muslims who love Sharia — any resistance to their goals is seen as “racism” and as a treason that should never be forgiven. To them, as to Muslim extremists, people who do not agree with them deserve to be humiliated, made into examples before the rest of the population, reduced to a minority status, then, if they keep “causing trouble,” eventually eliminated.

As an immigrant to the US I could not get over how uncomfortable it is to see American pop culture have made it “cool” to suppress the natural tendency of citizens to love and want to preserve one’s country, culture and way of life. In the new equation, loving and treasuring America and its history, errors and all, has become an unforgivable racial sin. What these critics also fail to see is that America is one of the few countries that owns up to what is wrong and often tries to fix it.

When it comes to non-white immigrants, however, many Americans are inconsistent. Immigrants are frequently encouraged to do just the opposite of what many in America urge white Americans to do: take pride in their original culture and continue practicing and preserving their old customs and way of life. It was so uncomfortable when Americans shamed me for being critical of my old culture — life under Sharia — and for wanting to change, adapt to America, assimilate. The bias of many Americans against American values has blinded them from seeing the reasons we immigrants went through hell to come to this country. Many Americans believe that those who criticize the culture from which we escaped must be “Islamophobic.” They seem not to understand why we never again want to see what we have gone through so much to escape from.

It is, in fact, much harder to choose not to assimilate than just to go along and assimilate. That is why progressives, in my opinion, are repressive and wrong for encouraging immigrants and minorities to stay just the way they were in the old country. It is against human nature to continue living in a sub-culture from which one has just fled.

American capitalism, while perhaps not perfect, has lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic system in history, yet it is viewed by progressives, as “racist.” Many American seem to be trying to drill that into in the mind of Americans. They seem to think that because the current president is white and a Republican who loves America, then he must be a racist, so they thus have the right to bring him down by any means.

America’s sharp divisions have never been clearer. To Americans who like the current administration, it represents independence from government and saving America from a nanny state that risks becoming increasingly authoritarian and that wants to destroy American sovereignty. To Americans who dislike the current administration, it is thwarting their plans to change America fundamentally by bringing in new voters to replace those from the old American culture.

The bad news — from someone who was born and raised in Egypt — to those who think that replacing Americans or Europeans with a third world citizenry is a good idea: it is actually reckless, destructive and will end up burning those who are playing with such fire. Just ask any third world leaders how easily they manage their population.

As one of the millions of grateful immigrants, we have been watching America on our televisions and in movies to take our minds off of the oppressive reality of life in third world countries. We loved the American movies of John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, and James Dean whose name until today is used in Egyptian pop culture as a symbol for being “cool.” We watched American freedoms as a dream: to be able to smile back at a man who opened the door for you without accusations of being a loose woman for smiling. To be able to wear what you want, go out when you want, work or get an education or not and venture to hope one day to live under a system that respects monogamy and equal rights for women and minorities. Yes, it is the American culture where whites are the majority, no problem with that, that made our dreams come true. Despite its shortcomings no other country in the world offers its citizens the chance to be whatever they would like. We might never get back what we already have.comment image comment image comment image comment image

This is an implicit fallacy of argumentation called false equivalence, because Christianity is NOTHING like islum in the 21st century.

So, he lived in a muslim country, Kuwait, where he felt alienated, because of the fact that his ancestry was from another predominantly muslim country, Egypt. To recover, he went to Canada and did bad stuff, the solution to which was send him to an islamic school, which made him give up the drugs and try his hand at bomb-making, instead. He declared loyalty to isis, missing the bit where isis claims to be a universal caliphate, in which Kuwait, Egypt, Canada and the United States don’t actually exist. Am I on the right lines, so far?

Somewhere along the line, he picked up some very expensive lawyers, who are now pleading that he has mental health issues (yes, that again), which would seem to be a claim he himself denies.

Toronto City News: “[His expensive lawyers] suggested that his release might coincide with ‘the onset of
Abdulrahman’s mid-twenties when his cognitive development will be
complete.'”

Because that worked so well with all those jihadis that Obama sprang from Gitmo, didn’t it?
