Video from Canada: Ezra Levant encounters convicted jihadi Omar Khadr at airport, who is defended by police

Feb 12, 2020 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

According to Rebel Media founder Ezra Levant:

I heard that Dalhousie University had invited Omar Khadr, the Al Qaida terrorist, to speak to students. I thought that was appalling, so I flew from Toronto to Halifax this morning to attend the event tonight. Little did I know that Khadr would be on the same plane as me, just a few rows ahead of me. He was sitting first class — that’s what you can do when Justin Trudeau gives you $10.5 million. I didn’t recognize him when I boarded the plane because he hid his face from me. But I recognized him when we landed and he stood up. 

Levant recorded the encounter, and the video is a must-see:

Every Canadian taxpayer should be outraged by this video. The injustice of an al-Qaeda jihadist set free and becoming wealthy on the backs of hardworking taxpayers who are under jihadi threats is appalling enough, but Omar Khadr maintains a smug, superior grin on his face throughout the video. His facial expression and posture are a slap in the face to every freedom-loving Canadian taxpayer and a gross insult to Khadr’s victims. It should create alarm.

Meanwhile, the policeman is “proud” to be defending a jihadi against a law-abiding citizen. He should have followed at a safe distance to maintain peace, but not trample the rights of Levant. The policeman’s obnoxiousness in the video is worrying, as it signifies that when a country such as Canada drifts further into totalitarianism, there are police who will execute the will of corrupt leadership, rather than apply the laws equally and protect and serve the public as they are sworn to do.

In early January, a similar display by police occurred when Toronto police threatened a Rebel journalist for calling Qassem Soleimani a “terrorist,” which he was.

Jihad Watch also reported on January 26 about Khadr’s being invited like a celebrity to speak at Dalhousie University at an event on children’s rights. The Post Millennial stated: “Omar Khadr, the infamous, well-paid convicted terrorist and real-life super villain will be featured as a keynote speaker at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia…..According to Dalhousie University’s website, Khadr will be speaking at an event titled Children’s Rights Upfront: Preventing the Recruitment and Use of Children in Violence in February, 2020.”

Some background about Khadr:

The widow of an American soldier killed in Afghanistan and another former U.S. soldier partially blinded by a hand grenade plan to file an emergency injunction to stop Ottawa from paying $10.5-million to former child soldier Omar Khadr. Tabitha Speer and Layne Morris allege Mr. Khadr was responsible for the death of Sergeant Christopher Speer and Mr. Morris’s injuries in Afghanistan. Two sources say they are expected to ask the Ontario Superior Court as early as Wednesday to uphold a 2015 Utah civil court judgment ordering Mr. Khadr to pay them $134-million (U.S.) for his actions in Afghanistan.

Khadr’s lawyer was out for big dollars — $20,000,000 in “compensation” — and was seeking a formal apology where none was called for; the government of Justin Trudeau decided to dole out $10,500,000 and issue an apology for some alleged abuse and shoddy treatment that the poor jihadi Khadr supposedly endured in Guantanamo. The victims never saw any compensation from Khadr. According to a Globe and Mail article in 2017:  “’Canadians know this is wrong,’ Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said on Twitter. ‘If Omar Khadr is truly sorry for what he did, he’ll give every cent to Tabitha Speer and her two children.’”

The smirk on Omar Khadr’s face throughout the video indicates just how repentant he really is; and shame on his supporters who are surrounding him, as well as on the two police officers. Let’s hope that most police officers are unwilling to stoop to becoming Gestapo-like state minions.

    Once again, the Police officers are unable to advised what law or laws were contravened by Mr. Levant. I can say that the police assaulted and forcibly confined Mr. Levant. Mr. Levant needs to start suing the various police departments.

    His “handler” appeared to completely identify with the terrorist; so far as she was concerned, Khadr was an admirable man who was being unjustly interfered with – what a pity Levant wasn’t able to record her fulsome apologies and expressions of righteous indignation: “Oh, I’m so, so sorry about that Mr Khadr ! Honestly – what is the world coming to if you can’t go about innocently killing people without getting hassled over it ? Would another million Canadian dollars help at all ?”

    It’s breathtaking to what lengths the Lib-Jihad Party of Canuckistan is willing to go to defend its JIHAD against Canadian rights and freedoms. Remember: in Canada ISLAM MAY NOT BE CHALLENGED.

      I agree with your statement, but wonder if you’d name any countries where islam may be legally challenged, because I can’t think of any……not even U.S.A.,.

  8. mortimer says

    Feb 12, 2020 at 3:35 pm

    The police believe that speaking to a person in a public place is somehow ILLEGAL … but they do not know what law they are actually enforcing.

    It is the police who were harassing a JOURNALIST and trying to PREVENT A JOURNALIST FROM DOING HIS JOB AS A JOURNALIST.

    The obstruction of the freedom of the press is surely a crime in itself.

    the left is infected by praising minorities; it really doesn’t matter to them whether they are disabled or whether they are terrorists. There will be a time when they wake up and they will be sorry about this. Being lemmings, they will all wake up at the same time.I must say that while I admire Ezra Levant’s courage, I am not good with him calling police names. Heat of the moment, I guess.

    • unoriginal username says

      He called the police what they are, which is a disgrace. Canadian police are now nothing more than lapdogs for politicians. It wasn’t always like that, but this is where we now are. They deserve the public’s wrath.

    • Peterr35 says

      Feb 13, 2020 at 3:28 pm

      “….not good with him calling police names…” Oh really, are you at all familiar with the infamous ‘High River gun-grab’ in which police raided the homes of people forced to evacuate due to the flood, where they broke down doors, smashed furniture, etc., and trashed carpets and floors with their muddy boots. while ransacking houses looking for any and all firearms, most of which were legal and/or antique collector’s items. Ever since then, I’ve called the ‘famous’ RCMP names.

      The Canadian people were betrayed by our national police force!

    This video and others like it where the individuals trying to inform, warn, and protect society from harm are harassed, assaulted, and violated at the hands of those sworn to serve and protect it have sadly begun give me a newfound disrespect for law enforcement officers.

    These cops, the media, George “Islam is Peace” Bush, and the USA’s biased in favor of Islam education curriculum to actually be worse than the Jihadists.

    When the pest control company you contract with to protect your barn from vermin are actually discovered releasing rats into it, normally they would be fired and replaced.

    However, those responsible for protecting your nation and society from vermin can not be.

    America and Canada are a pair of unsuspecting frogs in a very slowly heating pot.

    Ezra Levant is a brave and true patriot.

    Security was protecting convicted Al Qaeda jihadi Omar Khadr – and threatening to arrest Ezra for doing his job as a journalist.

    Pres. Trump should start taking a very hard look at Canada – and the islamic threat from our northern border.

    Muslims do not respect non muslim law enforcement and regularly attack and kill them.

    If western non muslim law enforcement have a problem with a “Law Abiding Citizen” they should probably rethink their procedures. When a majority of law abiding citizens begin to believe that law enforcement is useless, or worse, siding with an enemy, it doesn’t bode well for society.

    There is no end to the expletives going through my head right now.

    Canadians ought to be kicking over the furniture and bouncing off all four walls.

    But then here in the US “The People” voted for card carrying “community organizing” Alinsky Marxist. Not once. Tube TWICE. Half the population is okay with Socialism-slash-Communism and the leading Democratic candidate for president is a self-described Socialist.

    It’s beyond depressing.

    “Let’s hope that most police officers are unwilling to stoop to becoming Gestapo-like state minions.”

    Winston Churchill predicted the “Gestapo” these “Socialists” would become.

    I encourage people to read Churchill’s books and others:

    The River War by Winston Churchill.

    The Malakand Field Force by Winston Churchill.

    Churchill’s Trial: Winston Churchill and the Salvation of Free Government by Larry P. Arnn.

    Thoughts and Adventures by Winston Churchill.

    Same old propaganda lies in the reporting of this story by the not so free press:

    The freak show was sold out but there were lots of empty seats.

    Some people may have been paid to attend the freak show.

    Was Georgie Soros there, it sure had his stamp all over it.

    Was it all a staged event to make the kafirs think he is an OK guy-this Muslim murdering liar. You need to feel guilt for what has happened to this poor Muslim, that is the mantra.

  20. eduardo odraude says

    Feb 13, 2020 at 9:04 am

    There is a strong tendency among police (and people in general) to favor order over basic human rights and freedoms, unless the police have been carefully trained on what they can and cannot do with respect to free speech, cameras, demonstrations, etc. Those who sacrifice freedom for security will end up with neither. (To roughly paraphrase Ben Franklin)

    The shut down Canada movement right now has a risk of being hijacked by pro Islamic groups and it very well could lead to a national crisis.

    Feb 13, 2020 at 11:53 am

    Well done Mr Levant.

    Khadr’s first response was to imagine that the inquirer wanted ….a selfie.

    Such a smug,conceited attitude as if he was worthy of being considered a star
    {which apparently the Canadian Govt seems to think he is,happy to support the convicted jihadist,financially and politically}

    “Why don’t we go ahead and walk away from toxic things that are hurtful” said his shrill female handler.

    “toxic things that are hurtful”:you mean like …convicted jihadists?

    Do the victims of al qaida get to escape “toxic things” done to them?

    That Canadian Keystone cop is ridiculous” keeping the public safe”
    Hull-oh officer?Did you miss the convicted Jihadist?Someone call the police-there is a convicted Jihadist in an airport.Oh wait!The police are OK with it.

    Mr Trudeau perhaps thinks he is somehow keeping Canadians safe from “toxic things that are hurtful” like convicted Jihadists by pandering to Terrorists.

    All part of his great “peoplekind” diversity project.

    “We like to say people-kind..not necessarily mankind.It’s more inclusive{cheering from the crowd”
    We can all learn from each other”
    Justin Trudeau 2018

    {And it makes perfect sense to Trudeau to say “people kind” despite the fact that the word mankind has ALWAYS been understood to inclusively refer to ALL people men and women}

    Trudeau is as bad as allah with his koranic “WE”
    {“WE verily gave unto Moses the Scripture” koran 2:87,allah or WE,a god who is violently antisemitic.Sure you did allah the Arab god of islam,sure you did,sure you gave the Torah which could only have been written in Arabic as you only write in arabic {k41:44}to…. musa the muslim because of course in islam Moses couldn’t possibly be Jewish.Yet somehow the Jews mysteriously wrote it in HEBREW a language al lah the Arab doesn’t relate to.}

      moslems are taught the hatred from before they can walk, and a trained child is every bit as lethal as a grown-up, perhaps more so since most adults would hesitate to shoot a kid—and would be shot instead.
