Their families have already swung with dispatch into victimhood mode. “Terrorism charges against young Montreal pair after RCMP probe,” by Allan Woods, Toronto Star, April 20, 2015:
MONTREAL—A young Montreal couple arrested last week is now facing terrorism charges after investigators claim to have found explosive substances and evidence the 18-year-olds planned to join an overseas terror group.
Sabrine Djermane looked stunned as she was led into the prisoner’s box Monday. She was followed in by El Mahdi Jamali, her boyfriend, who whispered under his breath to her throughout the brief appearance, continuing even after they were warned against talking buy [sic] a guard. Both are registered as students at Collège de Maisonneuve, a junior college in downtown Montreal. They had been living together at a chic apartment near the school for about a month before being arrested last month.
The couple was supposed to seek bail on Monday. Instead they learned of accusations that, if substantiated, could send them to prison.
The charges include:
Attempting between Jan. 1, 2015 and April 14, 2015 to leave the country to join in a terrorist group;
Building or possessing an explosive substance; facilitating a terrorist activity between Feb. 4, 2015 and April 14, 2015,
Carrying out a criminal act (possessing exlosive substances) for the benefit of a terrorist group.A friend of Jamali who was among the dozen supporters and family members in the court audience, wrote on Facebook that his friend appeared pale, tired and had clearly lost weight since the couple was arrested early last week.
The friend noted that Djermane was not wearing the Islamic headscarf she normally wore in public.
“Stand by them. They are innocent. I feel it and I know it,” the friend wrote. “Pray for him. He is simply the victim of an incredible injustice.”
Of course. Isn’t that what we always hear in cases like this?
Family members of Jamali and Djermane were clearly distraught by the charges, but did not speak to the media. Marc Giroux, Jamali’s defence lawyer, said the young man’s family was “appalled, surprised and disappointed.”
“It’s not just because you’re a Muslim that you’re a necessarily a terrorist. (Jamali’s family) seem like very good folks. They’re kind of surprised at the nature of the accusations. That being said, are the accusations for real? Are they backed up? Are they serious? We don’t know yet.”
Djermane’s father has previously said his daughter was “a victim” in the matter and that Jamali had been determined to marry the girl. Jamali’s friend also referred to Djermane as his “wife” but it is unclear if the two were legally married….

Leftists who grant Muslims residency and citizenship in civilized countries are worse traitors than Vidkun Quisling.

Concur.

Agreed. *Love* your moniker ! 🙂
I concur with that, too.

Quebec has piles of silly leftists.
In Quebec nothing is worse then an anglophone. Quebec leftists for 30 years have been bringing in French Muslims to dilute out anglophones in the population.
It’s not a secret, it’s the stated goal of political parties like the PQ.
Even now they don;t see the error of their ways.
The Muslim jihad killers are simply reacting to a “Harper Canada” in the views of a Quebec PQ voter.
Quebec is lost as a first world place. Cross it off and move on.
Jerry says
You mean Anglophiles, perhaps?

The Republicans are almost as bad. How many Republican politicians will stand up and say that Islam is not a religion of peace? W. Bush said that about Islam. I believe that Alan West and Peter King are some of the few politicians who will tell the truth about Islam. We need to stop all immigration from Muslim countries especailly the backward countries where sharia law and jihad are popular.
Somalia and Pakistan have got to be the worse countries to accept immigrants from.

And to think that, Muslims still wish to impress a dead man who actually had the unmitigated gall to say that Allah insisted that he (Muhammad), marry his own daughter-in-law.

Allah knows all shit just obey

Are you sure you didn’t want to say Allan knows all/ is all shit??
PRCS says
Worse, even, they demand that we respect that “religion” and that–like them–we never, ever scoff at such absurdities.
Instead of these never ending “Wear a Hijab” events, it’s time for an “Ask a Muslim to explain this!” day, week, month…
PRCS says
At first glance, the picture at the top of this thread makes me think that some of those explosives actually went off.

Funny, I had the same thought when viewing this photo….maybe the defense attorney took this picture….(no offense picture appears cropped.) Innocent until proven guilty…or unless explosives materials found in home. Good job….catching this diversity misnomer .
PRCS says
Well, geez, why isn’t she wearing hijab during the court appearance? And were these two MUSLIMS living together–in sin? And, lets be honest: it is likely that their “radicalization” began with their parents; at home.
underbed cat says
The Muslim culture appears very cohesive in the denial of guilt of any plots to use violence. This strengthens , clarifies the idea that exposing the ideology of islamic jihad and the goals of the MB are very keys to ridding the U.S. and western nations of terrorism. As experts attempt to educate…the politicians and the public, muslim organizations tell the media it is racist and false. Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, John Guandolo, Steve Emerson, Frank Gaffney, Andrew McCarthy even Sam Harris have tons of documented information to counter the claim. They are hero’s.

I did not see a picture of the girl, the pathetic hollow chested man was enough for me. Yes they are young, no pity from me. They wanted to blow Canadians up. I hope their trial gives them the 25 years in jail where they can separately compare their prettiness. And know the Canadian public rest happily knowing these two very stupid young people will never bother us again.
