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

Canada: Muslim who hailed the Islamic State and Quebec jihad murderer acquitted of terror charges

Sep 26, 2017 12:38 pm By Robert Spencer

Apparently in Trudeau’s Canada, one can say anything one likes in support of jihad mass murder. But if you say anything against jihad mass murder, you’re increasingly likely to be prosecuted for “Islamophobia.”

“B.C. man cleared of terrorism charges related to Facebook posts,” Canadian Press, September 25, 2017 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):

A B.C. man accused of using his Facebook account to express support of “lone wolf” terrorist attacks has been acquitted of all charges.

Othman Hamdan’s judge-alone trial began in June, when he pleaded not guilty to encouraging the commission of murder, assault and mischief as well as inducing and instructing someone to carry out a terrorist act.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Bruce Butler announced his decision on Friday, and it was confirmed by the criminal registry Monday.

The alleged offences were related to 85 Facebook posts between September 2014 and July 2015, when Hamdan was arrested.

The Fort St. John resident who described himself as a non-practising Sunni Muslim testified his posts highlighted government clashes against citizens who were “squashed” as they held peaceful protests during the Arab spring in the Middle East.

The trial heard his posts paid tribute to gains made by Islamic State militants with attacks in Canada and other Western countries.

Hamdan said he began posting comments on his Facebook profile and created some pages based initially on what he saw on social media, which played a big role in the series of demonstrations that swept through the Arab world.

“Lone wolves, we salute you,” read one post on March 3, 2015, as read in court by Crown counsel.

Another post in October 2014 calls Martin Couture-Rouleau, who rammed a car into Canadian soldiers in Quebec, “the real hero for hitting evil Canadian forces on their soil in retaliation for the Canadians supporting the Shiite gangs in Iraq.”

The post adds, “May Allah accept him,” which the Crown’s expert witness told the trial is a reference to the Muslim belief that only God can decide who is a legitimate martyr….

    I once considered moving to Canada. Not anymore. Now I am focusing my efforts on the States. Canada goes the European way. Only faster with that PM.

    I guess any muslim guard with a beard will have a sigh of relief he will be able to work and still post if decides too without fear of a problem., he will be able to lock up those islamophobes infidels with glee and the imams won’t have to sweat a drop.

    PM Pierre Trudeeu is a traitor to Canada the Canadian People and their core belief systems and civilization including the Great Nort American Tribes and Eskimos and has hanged his Star on Muslims seeking refuge and a better life but upon the Jihadists who will not rest until they defeat the infidel especially in English a Speaking Countries. This so called Judge what are the legal principles he’s basing his decision on?

      “No More Muslims” Justice Ferhan Javed, A MUSLIM JUDGE, said this:
      “It does not matter that he [Joseph Porco] wasn’t charged with a specific hate crime, because this was a hate crime disguised as mischief.”
      “Incidents of ‘bigotry and hate’ appear to be on the rise in the region, the judge noted.”
      “There can be no other rational inference to be drawn except that he [JP] targeted a segment of the community based on religious grounds.”

      Frankly, it’s a whole load of SHIT!! This Muslim judge is obviously blatantly biased and made an example of Porco, because no Muslim would ever get 5 months’ jail time for scrawling “No more Christians”, or “No more Jews” on a bench …. THIS DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR CANADA …

      Any Muslim judge is bound to lean towards the foul Quranic code, wherein it is a CRIME to criticize Muhammad, the Quran, Islam, Sharia, etc. rather than respect ‘DEMOCRACY’ and the attendant guaranteed Rights and Freedoms, particularly freedom of speech!!

      WAKE UP, CANADA!! YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED!!

        I think this conviction will be successfully appealed because the judge was way out of line. A judge cannot prosecute on different charges than those pressed by the prosecution.

        • Marisol Enrique says

          Sep 26, 2017 at 9:19 pm

          This conviction should be thrown out immediately and the fool of a judge, Justice Ferhan Javed (Muslim), removed from the bench forthwith!! However, this Porco fellow may have some mental problems and likely does NOT have the funds for a decent defense!! I hope someone in Ontario helps him out because he really needs it!!

          Yes, he was wrong to scrawl this on a bus bench, but 5 months’ incarceration is an egregiously grotesque sentence on a very minor mischief charge!! Yet, Imams in Ontario are free to preach indiscriminately of the killing of unbelievers, Christians and Jews, and NOTHING is done!! Is this not the definition of ‘hypocrisy’?? SHAME!!

  7. Flavius Claudius Iulianus says

    Sep 26, 2017 at 9:10 pm

    Does anyone have the text of the judge’s decision? I would like to read what his justifications are. To my mind, the prosecution had a pretty solid case.

      “One wonders why Mr. Porco’s lawyer did not ask the justice to recuse himself for a ‘reasonable apprehension of bias.'”

      “Justice Ferhan Jevad handed out a brutal STALINIST 5-month sentence to a man who scrawled a few anti-Moslem messages with a magic marker at Durham Region bus stops. Since when did petty grafitti merit five months in prison? Well, when the grafitti expresses politically incorrect thoughts or hurt the feelings of privileged minorities and the judge made that clear.”

      Because Porco was unrepentant (he did apologize), the Judge felt it appropriate to punish him in an outrageous manner. Unfortunately for Porco, he had a inept, stupid lawyer. Porco should have gotten off with community service at the most for ‘petty grafitti’, but NO jail time.

        That’s the whole issue in Canada. Before muslims held any positions of authority in Canada, we did not have to worry about the religion they followed because we knew they would demonstrate integrity. Now if you notice all the muslims in authority, such as Iqra Khalid, the president of the Human Rights Commission in Ontario, this judge and a host of other muslims, you will notice that they are blatantly abusing their power. It is shocking. It appears that they treat people who are not muslims as if they were some religious minorities in muslim country, like Saudi Arabia or Iran. The judge is acting beyond his duty and applying a clone of sharia law. It’s time that we remind them that Canada is a democracy and that we have freedom of speech. In time, the judge and all the others will be reprimanded. They will lose their office.

    A new type of war with judges, they will do anything to do away with the people of free speech,
    The muslims really work from within And people do nothing, it is incredible !
    That Porco must have had a stupid inept lawyer.
    If you threaten to kill, conquer the world, rape, mutilate young girls, stone people, hack of their hands,force marriages to young girls, dictate infidels what to eat and when, how to dress, etc THAT IS ALL OK. indeed one small line on a bench, 5 months? Are you crazy? Throwing gays of buildings, murdering people, they , hardly any punishment.
    I think the sleeves of the leftists are full of surprises yet. For us, but you can try to play for God, but you still are not.

      I actually support Porco. It was a very innocent demonstration of anger. And benign. I wonder what the judge would have done to a rapist, a murderer or a liar.

    “Muslims must not look to political trends but to the book of Allah, the Sunnah of his Prophet, and the insight of our qualified scholars. We must co-operate with anyone-left, right or center for Allah’s sake in persuit of common good for ourselves and non-Muslim neighbours. American Muslims need to understand the funding from Proteus, Arcus– Soros funded groups and the ACLU and so on is given pursaunt to the left’s broader vision of refashioning Islam into an ethnic identity and social justice ideology and absorbing it into the progressive movement”.

    Pretending that the global crime-gang called islam is a “race” of poor swarthy animal-people, oppressed by the mentally superior whites, in order to slander everyone who notices it’s a crime-gang as a hatefully bigoted “racist” – is to deliberately enable that crime-gang’s crimes by hiding and destroying the evidence of same, and thus to be a willing accessory to those crimes. Since islam is a murder-gang, and the penalty for committing and enabling the commission of murder is DEATH, anyone and everyone who calls an opponent of muslims, islam, and their global jihad, a “racist!” should be lawfully put to death.

    Everyone who defends islam and muslims endorses crime.
    Endorsing crime IS a crime, so those doing it are criminals.

    Right in the Qur’an is: the obligation to murder Jews and Christians (Surah 9:29), to terrorize all non-Muslims (8:12), to rape young girls (65:4), to enslave people for sex (4:3), to lie about one’s true goals (3:54), and the command to make war on all the infidels (9:123) and subjugate the entire world to Allah (9:33).

    Are death-threats legal? NO.
    Is extortion legal? NO.
    Is slavery legal? NO.
    Is murder legal? NO.
    Is rape legal? NO.

    THEN ISLAM IS ILLEGAL!

    Rape, slavery, robbery, extortion and murder are never OK!

    Everything muslims pretend to see as “holy” is already a crime!

    So nobody has a legal right to practice islam anywhere on earth!

    IN TRYING TO MAKE CRITICISM OF THE GLOBAL CRIME GANG CALLED “ISLAM” INTO A CRIME, TO PROTECT THAT CRIME GANG BY HIDING THE EVIDENCE OF ITS CRIMES, JUSTIN TURDEAU AND B.C. SUPREME COURT JUSTICE BRUCE BUTLER ARE CRIMINALS AND TRAITORS TO RATIONALITY, CIVILIZATION, AND HUMANITY ITSELF.
