“A man in the front passenger seat, who had his face concealed, rolled down the window and pointed a black Airsoft pistol directly at the couple…The suspects later dropped their car off in the 800-block of View Street and walked to the police station to explain their actions.” How did they explain them? Did they mention any responsibility they might have felt to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60)?
“Students face charges after fake gun pointed at couple in Victoria,” by Louise Dickson, Times Colonist, November 28, 2014 (thanks to Jeff):
In a case Victoria police spokesman Const. Mike Russell called “people doing stupid things,” two students from Saudi Arabia have been charged with pointing a firearm at a couple strolling down Store Street last week.
Meshal Alharbi and Mohammad Alhussain, both 23, turned themselves over police on the evening of Nov. 20. They were arrested and charged with carrying a replica firearm for a dangerous purpose, pointing a firearm, assault with a firearm, using a replica firearm to threaten and assault, and threatening to cause death or bodily harm.
Alharbi is also charged with carrying a concealed restricted weapon and having his face masked with intent to commit an offence.
Victoria provincial court Judge Ernie Quantz released both men on $10,000 bail and ordered them to surrender their passports to the court registry, where they will be kept until a further court order.
After his decision, Quantz told Alhussain that Canada is a very welcoming country to newcomers and students.
“No matter what you might hear out there, our expectation is that you follow the law and that you make a positive contribution to the country,” Quantz said.
The judge suggested the students comply with all the conditions of their bail orders and make a contribution to the community by volunteering as their case makes its way through the court system. “If you do this, it will help you a lot,” said Quantz.
An Arabic translator was in the courtroom for the bail hearing.
On Nov. 20 about 9:30 p.m., a man and his girlfriend were walking in the 2000-block of Store Street when a black car pulled up beside them, Russell said.
A man in the front passenger seat, who had his face concealed, rolled down the window and pointed a black Airsoft pistol directly at the couple, he said.
The terrified couple ran to safety. Two suspects fled the scene.
The suspects later dropped their car off in the 800-block of View Street and walked to the police station to explain their actions, Russell said. An officer standing outside the police station recognized them and they were arrested.
Police found the replica firearm in the inside jacket pocket of one of the suspects.
Quantz ordered Alharbi and Alhussain to remain in B.C., to obey a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew, not to possess any weapons and to attend school regularly….
That’ll fix this right up.

They needed an Arabic translator for the bail hearing … and they are going to school … in British Columbia, Canada? What college do these geniuses attend? Have they been skipping English 101? What else is on their list of courses for this semester? Could they also be taking flight training, or maybe chemistry or nuclear physics? At least now they will have plenty of time to stay home at night and study up on more ways to “contribute” to the advancement of mankind. This is going to look really good on each one’s resume.
Jeff says
Please realize. A resume is not what they need to worry about. From what I’ve read, the Saudi princes that we see in Victoria, BC, have over 3,000 CDN (on average) to spend after all their expenses for schooling & rent are paid. I’ve seen them looking down their noses at everyone whilst sipping lattes at our local Starbucks. They don’t care a whiff about our history or culture, remember that they’re raised with the knowledge that we are the inferior kafirs, only here to submit to their very whim.

Their enrollment I’d all about money not education.

In perfect world these mohammedan arab students would’ve been deported back to their hellholes immediately, but we are living in a leftist loony dream world. I am sure pretty soon they would be eligible for Canadian Citizenship.
BW022 says
No.
All three charges are indictable offenses in Canada and any conviction will make them ineligible to remain in Canada. Using firearms (including replicas) in the commission of a crime in Canada is a serious offense and carries mandatory minimum jail sentences. They’ll be put on trial and upon conviction, Citizenship and Immigration Canada will be contacted to pull their study permits and deport them. The trial is typically used to secure a conviction and to ensure that jail time is hanging over their heads should they try to return.
Study permits are non-immigration visas in Canada. They do not lead to permanent residency or citizenship.

I understand that hiding faces by wearing masks is now a serious crime in Canada. This law needs to be widely publicized, and violators quickly apprehended and prosecuted. I hope and wish that the USA also makes it a crime, but it will likely never happen.

Canadian jihadwatchers should be able to cite this case – and I’ll bet that there are other cases of Saudi Muslim and other-country Muslim “students” behaving really, really badly – when writing letters to their elected representatives – in particular, those in charge of A/ Education and B/ Immigration and C/ Foreign Affairs – in order to state why they would really rather that NO “students” from Muslim countries – no matter *how* rich they are – be permitted to enter non-Muslim countries in order to “study”.
The case of Aafia Siddiqui from Pakistan – Lady Al Qaeda – who went to a *very* swish educational institution in the USA – could also be adduced as a reason why admitting Muslims to “study” within the West is a very, very bad idea.
There is, of course, also the fact that cashed-up Saudi Musilm princelettes and Muslims from other oil-rich Islamic entities – or Muslims from the top drawer of *other* Muslim states – regularly and deliberately engage in “marriage Jihad” or “sex jihad” aimed at the local Infidel coeds. With, very often, disastrous results as naive girls marry a Sheikh Charming and then discover that he has morphed into a hideous toad.
Best to avoid ALL that trouble, by…**not letting the creeps into the country in the first place**.

Are they Muslims, or Asian youths as the British Broadcasting Crescent refers to them?
