Crooked in Canada

It would appear that FNC (Fox News Channel) has jumped all over the story about Mahmoud Mohammad Issa Mohammad in documentary series they are airing (the name of the progrmam has slipped my mind at the moment), and the fact that he has been allowed to remain in Canada despite the fact that Mohammad was convicted in a Greek court in 1970 of terrorism charges while he was a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Mohammad was sentenced to 17 years in prison (1970) but was released a few months later after other members of the PFLP hijacked an Olympic Airways plane and demanded his release as part of a hostage exchange.

Ironically it would be 17 years later that he arrived in Canada under false pretenses and since that time he has been living in Ontario, despite the fact the Liberal government became aware of his act of terrorism several months after he arrived. Hmm, think the Liberals struck a deal with him in exchange for intelligence information, or did Mohammad just luck out?

I think the Liberals, those ones who are still alive anyway, have some explaining to do.

Mohammad (who now makes his home in Brantford) and another gunman attacked an El Al plane in Athens the day after Christmas in 1968.

The two men ran up the tarmac with guns blazing and lobbed grenades at the plane, wounding a flight attendant and killing one passenger. It sounds like a serious act of terrorism to me and why the Liberal government even bothered to give this person an immigration hearing after learning that he was convicted of terrorism is beyond me, and to add insult to injury, the Conservative government appears to be doing nothing now to enforce the deportation order.

What’s the f**king hold-up? If the Conservative government is serious about not allowing Canada to become a safe-haven for terrorists, unlike the former Liberal government, then there shouldn’t be any problem for them to remove the convicte killer terrorist from Canadian soil right now, today.

The 65-year-old Mohammed and the Khadr family are making a mockery out of Canada’s war on terrorism.

There is absolutely no reason why Mohammad shouldn’t be taken into custody today, whether he made a deal with the Canadian government in 1987 or not. As far as I’m concerned the Conservative government doesn’t owe Mohammad nothing.

Shackle the bastard up now, buy him a one-way ticket back to Lebanon, and put him on a plane. No more appeals, no nothing. Strip him immediately of all his rights under the charter because his rights have been protected long enough in Canada. He deserves no sympathy from Canadians.

I don’t give a f**k how old he is, nor do I care that he has a family here. If his family has a problem with his deportation order being executed now, then they can pack their bags and get the f**k out Canada too. Mohammad is a convicted killer terrorist and it doesn’t get any simpler than that when it comes to finding a reason to remove him from Canada for good.

Of course, the argument that prevents Mohammad from being deported is the one being made by his lawyers that Canada can’t deport him to Lebanon because the 65-year-old terrorist might be tortured. Whether he is tortured or not isn’t Conservative government’s problem. That problem belongs to Mohammed and his family.

Mohammed entered into Canada in 1987 under false pretenses and fraudulent documentation, add that to the fact that he is a convicted terrorist and we have the exceptional circumstances to deport him back to Lebanon. I’m sure his well-armed terrorist buddies will meet him at the airport.

Let’s not forget that his act of terrorism killed one person. Nor should it be forgotten that he was released from a Greek prison because of an act of terrorism. Again, exceptional circumstances as they apply to terrorists.

The “rules” should not apply to this person, if only for the fact that his deportation order came in 1988 or there about, and at the time I don’t believe the Canadian government was part of any international prohibition that prevented them from deporting a terrorist to country where he might face torture.

One death in his act of terrorism, the fact that he was released from his Greek prison because of an act of terrorism, and fraudulently entering Canada are good enough reasons to invoke the “extreme circumstances” clause. Period. Deport his murderous ass now.

That said let’s suppose Osama bin Laden managed to sneak into Canada under false pretenses, would the Canadian government hesitate in extraditing him to the U.S. where he might face torture. I highly doubt it. Would they hesitate to deport him to any country where he might face torture. Again, I doubt it. Let’s assume that if he was captured in Canada but never committed a criminal offence in Canada, would the Canadian government treat him the way they are treating Mohammed. Not f**king likely because the rules won’t apply to bin Laden if he were captured in Canada. The extreme circumstance clause would be invoked. No doubt about it. The “extreme circumstance” clause still exists as it applies to deporting terrorists still exists doesn’t it, or, did I miss something and it has since been struck down by a Supreme Court judge?

Whether a terrorist kills one person, or is responsible for the killing of thousands of people, a terrorist who kills is a terrorist, whether his last name is Mohammed or bin Laden. A terrorist convicted of an act of terrorism that killed is still a convicted killer terrorist whether his last name is bin Laden or Mohammed
