Here again we see the mystery on full display: it is very, very easy for Western non-Muslim political leaders, church officials, law enforcement authorities and the like to see that Islam is a religion of peace that rejects violence. It is much, much harder for an increasing number of young Muslims to see this. Maybe John Kerry, Joe Biden and the U.S. Catholic bishops could start going into mosques to lead seminars explaining to Muslims how to understand their religion properly.
“Sabrine Djaermane and El Mahdi Jamali make court appearance,” by Steve Rukavina, CBC News, September 15, 2015:
Two Montreal teenagers facing terrorism-related charges appeared in court Wednesday to finalize plans for their preliminary hearing.
Sabrine Djaermane, 19, and El Mahdi Jamali, 18, are facing several charges including attempting to leave Canada to commit a terrorist act abroad, possession of an explosive substance, facilitating a terrorist act and committing an act under the direction of or for the profit of a terrorist organization.
Prosecutor Lyne Décarie told Quebec Court Judge Hélène Morin that she expects 17 witnesses to testify at the preliminary hearing.
Djaermane and Jamali sat side by side at the prisoners box at the hearing. Jamali was in handcuffs and leg restraints. At one point, Jamali smiled and waved at a female relative in the courtroom.
The two College Maisonneuve students, who are romantically linked, were arrested in April. They will remain in custody pending trial….

It’s funny how they always show their school pictures so they look all innocent. Same thing they do with dope dealers who shoot at police. More durka durkas in the graybar motel
Marty says
Dead right.
They do that in the UK.
Incidentally, he looks like some inmate of a Victorian insane asylum.
Judi says
LOL.. Actually he does!
Raymond Hietapakka says
“Possession of Explosives For No Lawful Purpose” is punishable by a sentence of up to 14 years in jail.
biff says
In Quebec nobody get 14 years in jail for anything(except threatening the French state).
You just apologize say you hate Americans and you are out in 30 days.
Charles Martel says
You’re a real genius, bigot. Criminals laws are all federal in Canada !
Wellington says
Even though quite young and with faint smiles, there are those dead eyes again, those shark eyes. If indeed the eyes are the windows to the soul, Muslims again and again and again reveal what putrid state their soul is in. As here.
abad says
Exactly. The human spirit does not exist within Muslims.
cheryl s. says
They were in college. hmm… no doubt there on a tuition free ride courtesy of the Canadian taxpayer perhaps?
Wonder if they were also getting housing, health care, food, free too.
Just another two assimilated and productive citizens of the religion of peace saying “Thank You” to their adopted country.
MUSLIMS OUT OF CANADA NOW!
biff says
The real problem in Quebec is people speaking english not Islam.
Wellington says
Fine sarcasm, biff. My compliments.
mortimer says
Radical jihad chic is prevalent among Muslim young people, but no one is trying to deprogram them.
Edgar Allen says
I read the article on the CBC website. The words “islam” and “Muslim” are not in the titele, or anywhere else in the text. One might think these were Indian Hindu extremists, or Buddhist fundamentalists, right? Anybody surprised at these hypocritical media bozos?
ensitue says
Culls

whose profit? The profit Muhammad.
Mulakush says
I find this very distressing. There is continuous stream of Muslims who quite naturally believe that Koran and Hadith are true teachings and act on them. These ideologies are as bad as Nazism. Yet our leaders steadfastly refuse to call out Islam for what it is. Even GW Bush, a born again Christian, continued to call Islam a religion of peace while he held office in White House. I despair for the Western Civilization that has given humans such lofty standards of life, health and thought. It seems to be on its way to occupation just like many other countries:
-Egypt – was Christian and forcefully converted to Islam. Conversion continues to this day with Christians being forced out or killed altogether.
-Iran – was Zoroastrian – converted to Islam by force in about 15 years flat. Some of the original people escaped to India around Bombay area and continue to be leading contributes to the society and the country.
-Afghanistan – same story – original inhabitants were Hindus and Buddhists – no sign of them today. All their monuments are being erased one by one.
-Pakistan – same story as above.
-Bangladesh – Same story as above.
The West has to take actions unrestrained by concerns for oil and other economic considerations that suit its rich people. I do not know what those actions are or can be. I live here, but am originally not from here. And I despair for my adopted civilization.
