Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Court hearing for Muslims accused of jihad plot to bomb Canada Day festivities under total news blackout

Mar 1, 2014 12:27 pm By Robert Spencer

john-nuttall-amanda-korody-jpgWhy is there a total news blackout on this case? Is the Canadian government afraid that this case, which was obviously Islam-inspired (with “John Nuttall,” his Muslim name as usual not given, clutching a Qur’an in court), will be the occasion for unfavorable coverage regarding Islam? Does it make Canadians safer to black out such information, or would they be actually made safer by an honest discussion of how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism, and what non-Muslims and Muslims can and should do about it?

The Canadian Press’s caption for the above photo is “John Nuttall, left, holding a Qur’an, and Amanda Korody, shown in this courtroom sketch, appear in provincial court in Surrey, B.C., on July 9, 2013. Photograph by: Felicity Don, The Canadian Press.”

“Canada day terrorism trial set to start January 2015,” from The Canadian Press, February 28:

VANCOUVER – A British Columbia couple accused of a Canada Day bomb plot at the provincial legislature are scheduled to stand trial for more than three months beginning in January of next year.

John Nuttall and Amanda Korody were charged last July in what the RCMP alleged was an al-Qaida-inspired plan to use pressure-cooker bombs to target the festivities in Victoria.

A judge has now set a jury trial for Jan. 26 to May 1, 2015.

The case is under a publication ban and virtually everything said in a Vancouver courtroom Friday, aside from the dates of the couple’s hearings, cannot be reported.

Nuttall and Korody both sat in the prisoner’s box, separated by two seats, exchanging occasional glances as lawyers discussed the case.

Their next court appearance is scheduled for April.

    All the Western governments, not just the Canadian one, are extremely worried that the truth about Islam will become common knowledge, fearing that a civil war will break out when the public realises how appalling Islam really is, and what a threat it is to Western civilisation.

    With good reason.

      Today March 8 2014 I was physically attacked on the corner of Carlton & Yonge in Toronto. Because the man heard me talking about the Koran & hate verses. All the persons just watched. Full on direct violence in the streets is not far away

        Eric,

        Please contact Toronto police, and report this. At the same time I recommend contacting your local Sun newspaper and Michael Coren, for when the police refuse to investigate, or attempt to charge you (don’t worry, there are many CCTV cameras in that area).

    Perhaps there are issues involving undercover security operations that should not be made public.

    • Geordie says

      Mar 2, 2014 at 3:23 pm

      You make a very valid point. However, the fact that there is a total ban prevents a full and open discussion of the underlying issue. “… how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism, and what non-Muslims and Muslims can and should do about it. ”

      Well said Robert. Probably my favourite religionist.

    Honour killings have been covered-up for years now with the aid of the Police and the CBC. I guess if it’s only BROWN immigrat females being killed that it’s kinda Ok becuase those people aren’t fully human yet and we must look at the root causes for these rabid savages.

    When someone becomes a
    Christian.. Steps into the community to serve and learns to show the other cheeck
    Jewish… Learns to fast and pray
    Hindu… Leaves all possessions. Learn to meditate to control himself
    Jain… Covers his mouth so that he would not hurt even a fly by accident
    Sikh… Learns to meditate and loves all
    Budhist.. Leaves everything behind and learns to love all beings

    —-
    Muslim.. Immediately plots to murder ‘infidels’ and terrorize them.

    I would bet that if the slime’s (I don’t consider him a person) was named ABRAHAM GOODMAN, there would be no hiding of his name or religion.

    Look at the Orlando, Fl- with the Trevon martin ( with a fairly long juvenile record) and Mr. Zimmerman.

    There were reports that mr. Zimmerman (his name wa snot hidden to prevent an anti-Jewish backlash ( Mr. Zimmerman is NOT Jewish, by the way, I believe Mexican or Peruvian descent). But our lovely lame stream media took no notice of that.

    A friend had heard that his (I forget exactly) great or great great grandfather was a Rabbi, and that therefore he was Jewish. ( False, all around; no retraction that my friend ever saw, by the way).

    But, with Muslims, all is hidden.

    It’.s blacked out because the Aga Khan is in Canada lying about how Islam is a wonderful peaceful religion. I notice the bastard doesn’t actually quote the Koran or MO.

    • Sovereign Man says

      The Ismailis in Canada are ambitious, and hold a lot of money and power. A socialist (and closeted, but obviously gay) Ismaili mayor was elected and re-elected in Calgary, the supposedly conservative heart of the country (thanks to media and academia openly campaigning for him and the general ignorance and apathy of the electorate).

      However, the Ismaili community is not one that is ever associated with violence, and they are considered heretical by Sunnis and Shi’ites. They may be corrupt and greedy, but they are hardly violent, and I have seen no evidence that they support armed jihad. On the other hand, Aga Khan and his foundations seem to be concentrating on whitewashing Islamic history and misguiding people on the nature of the Koran.

      • Craig says

        Mar 2, 2014 at 8:59 am

        If you don’t speak up and condem the violence and killing then you are condoning it, and that is exactly what the Aga Khan did by not condemning those Muslims responsible for daily atrocities worldwide.

    Typical of the police and the Canadian government wanting to sweep it all under the carpet

  10. Judy Davies says

    Mar 1, 2014 at 11:58 pm

    If you hide it under the carpet then you can pretend it’s not really happening. The authorities don’t realise that unless you deal with the problem now while it is still small they will have a much bigger and more difficult problem to deal with later. By then the battle will be all but lost -so naive!

    More than likely, the judge wants to guarantee a fair trial, rather than black out news unfavorable to Islam.

  12. George Kirkpatrick says

    Mar 2, 2014 at 4:59 am

    Islam is NOT a religion but a violent cult that was founded by an illiterate pedophile. Christianity was spread by followers of Jesus using the bible and not swords as the Muslims have done world-wide. They MUST be stopped!

    I suppose ‘Nut-tall is rather a good name for a covert to a 7th Century desert so called ‘religion’.

    The deliberate strategy of the governments of both the US and Canada seems to be to flood our countries with as many Muslim immigrants as possible before the public at large wakes up the the permanent and relentlessly growing threat that Islamic ideology represents to western values. By the time the public wakes up, Islamists will be a political force in our countries with a large block of votes with which to leverage legislation towards Islamist goals. The great mystery of our time is what motivates our elected leaders to do this? A sizeable Muslim population has never coexisted peacefully with non-Muslims. It simply forms the base from which extremists lash out at the host society. Yet our leaders open the floodgates. Why?

    • Aardvark says

      Mar 2, 2014 at 5:39 pm

      The reason the last UK Labour party government (Blair, Brown, Straw and their cronies) allowed tens of thousands of mohammedans into the country was because they thought the grateful immigrants would then supply a pool of labour voters for the future.

      Basically, a mixture of power-lust, stupidity and ignorance.

    The Brits refused to allow Robert Spencer & Pamela Geller entry in the UK because they might cause unrest in the Islamic community. Well GB, watch out, the unrest will start soon and it won’t be Spencer/Geller doing it but red blooded British men fed up with the gang rapes and other things the Muslims are doing in their getto’s.
    Watch out, it’s going to be messy.

    Unfortunately media blackouts are quite common in Canada for otherwise high profile cases. It was true year ago for the Bernardo case. It was true a few years ago for the Toronto 18 case. In what would otherwise have been a story with, at least a lot of intial attention, the judge simple declared a media balckout, thereby making reporting on the issue illegal. The obedient sycophants in this country obey without so much as a second thought. No one, or scarcely anyone, speaks out. The people do nothing to change the matter. The politicians do nothing. Nothing changes unless it worsens, i.e. becomes more common. Censorship in two forms: the far-left mainstream media’s self-censorship and selective reporting, and the judiciary’s traditional censorship. An utter disgrace!

      Our left wing media here, in Canada, is disgusting! To think we end our young men to fight far away when in reality the enemy is right here and we keep letting more in. Our values don’t count to the Jihadist and we really don’t need them here, SEND THEM BACK, we’ll save millions for true Canadians that need help.

  17. RoofGardener says

    Hmmm….. I assume this was some sort of “pre trial hearing” (in the sense of UK jurisprudence ?). If so, there wouldn’t be anything controversial to publish ANYWAY, as these are usually restricted to the purely technical issues of ensuring that the person in custody is indeed the person who is to be charged, and then arranging timetables.

    Are there any Canadians amongst us who can clarify this ?

    • cranky.white.woman says

      Mar 2, 2014 at 10:10 pm

      I work in the Ontario Court of Justice. Since their trial has been set to begin in 2015, this was most likely a pre-trial conference.

    Can someone explain why trials take so freakin’ long to “set up”??? Are lawyers just slow and lazy. I mean 10 months before it starts!!! The longer lawyers drag things out, the more likely witnesses or other deposed people will plain forget what they saw/who said what due to natural memory loss!
