Lawyers for convicted Muslim migrant terrorist claim he was victim of discrimination in Canada

44

Of course he is claiming victimhood. It’s what they do. If Canada is so “intolerant,” why didn’t he go back to wonderful, tolerant Tunisia? Meanwhile, how many Americans even know this jihad attack took place? Even people who are relatively informed these days are generally unaware of how much jihad activity there is on an ongoing basis in the United States. The jihad groups have changed their strategy away from spectacular attacks such as 9/11, at least for now, but incidents of this kind in the Flint airport happen all too often, and the enemedia says nothing. They seem determined to keep people ignorant and complacent regarding the jihad threat.

“Lawyers for Montreal man convicted of U.S. terrorist attack argue he was victim of discrimination in Canada,” by Stewart Bell, Global News, April 11, 2019:

A Montreal man convicted of terrorism for a 2017 knife attack at a U.S. airport was disappointed with his life in Canada and wanted to die by “killing to be killed,” his lawyers argued Thursday.

Story continues below advertisement

The lawyers asked for a 25-year-sentence for Amor Ftouhi, who travelled to Michigan on a “mission” to kill U.S. government employees but was subdued after stabbing a police officer.

In their sentencing submission, the lawyers said Ftouhi had immigrated to Canada from Tunisia in 2007 but lived off welfare and worked at “menial jobs,” which they attributed to Canadian intolerance.

“Mr. Ftouhi’s struggle to find employment was not unique to him. He was among many Muslims in Canada (Quebec especially) experiencing discrimination and Islamophobia,” they argued, citing the January 2017 Quebec mosque shooting.

Rather than an ideological extremist, Ftouhi was hopeless as a result of being “wholly unprepared for the challenges he would face both as a first-generation immigrant and as a Muslim in a predominantly Christian city,” they wrote.

The 51-year-old former school janitor and delivery driver was convicted of terrorism last November for the June 21, 2017, stabbing of an officer at Bishop International Airport in Flint, Michigan.

He faces a possible life sentence at a hearing next week.

Following the attack, he told the FBI he was a “soldier of Allah,” supported the ideology of al-Qaida and believed the United States was the enemy.

“Ftouhi stated he wanted to kill a USG [U.S. government] employee at a location that would receive worldwide attention and therefore, Donald Trump would hear him,” according to an FBI report.

“Ftouhi wanted other Muslims to see his actions and not be afraid to fight the enemies of Allah.”

The FBI report, a seven-page summary of Ftouhi’s statement on the day of his arrest, said he had been a supporter of Osama bin Laden [UBL] long before coming to Canada and had planned to kill police officers.

While living in Tunisia, Ftouhi told the FBI, he had “celebrated” the Sept. 11, 2001, killings and praised bin Laden for organizing them. He said he was “upset” when bin Laden was killed.

“Ftouhi believes there is a war on Muslims and agrees with UBL’s statements that the USG is the problem. Ftouhi stated that when AQ [al-Qaida] and UBL attacked the USG, it was done for Allah.”

He also claimed he was a victim of discrimination in Montreal because his car tires were once slashed, he didn’t get prayer breaks at work and he missed out on delivery jobs because he refused to transport alcohol.

After losing his driving job, he decided “enough was enough and it was time for him to act,” the FBI wrote.

He researched how to buy a firearm in the U.S. and drove to a Michigan gun show but vendors wouldn’t sell to him because he wasn’t a U.S. citizen. Instead, he bought a $15 knife.

He then began searching for targets, settling on the Flint airport. The day before the attack, he visited the airport and observed police, then slept in his vehicle in a nearby parking lot….

YES, as they do to innocent animals, slit their throats wide open while they are awake/alive and let them wander around bleeding to death!
That is the halal means of slaughter on animals!
BTW I cannot handle/accept the killing of our own animals for food anymore either.

Can the FBI figure out WHY he “wanted to die by “killing to be killed,””?
Mental illness?
Could someone direct the FBI to Koran 9:111 which GUARANTEES Paradise to one who kills and is killed?
Might there be a connection?

Difficult one, that.

Memo to Stewart Bell, Global News:

A muslim who describes himself as a “soldier of Allah,” and supports “the ideology of al-Qaida” is simply being observant of Islamic source texts and loyal to them. One who believes the United States is “the enemy” is simply following what he is instructed in the mosque.

It is basic Islam.

lets face the facts: islam is against all freedoms, democracy, peace and life of all types!
They can’t even get along with each other and haven’t since their inception.

I now fully understand the fact it is the rest of us who DON’T GET IT as this group of sub human barbaric neanderthols is quite content with their mentality , religion and culture .
We apparently have come to embrace and tolerate it as well knowing as they are being embraced by us all over the globe and IT IS WE WHO WILL NOT SURVIVE!
They simply continue to breed to replace themselves via their culture and religion- both of which are ANTI LIFE!

The talent of our ingenious cartoonists is amazing. I spoke to Götz Wiedenroth in Flensburg on the
Danish border and introduced him to Ben Garrison (who has Frisian ancestry and is therefore un-
consciously related to Götz), both did not know each other, but found each other highly interesting.
Götz and Ben got massive problems, but still continue. Kurt Westergaard a few miles north as well.

Canadians give Mohamadan losers (like Omar Khadr) 10.5 Magadollars just for being losers. This loser received nothing except a chance at honest work. Thus he was most certainly discriminated against by Canada. Can’t you people see this?!

No, Marsares, Canadians didn’t “give” Khadr the millions, Trudeau rewarded him. It was Trudeau and Morneau who treated Khadr like a hero. Trudeau DOES NOT speak for all Canadians. Trudeau hates Canada and intends to destroy it.comment image

Trudeau did not give the reward from his trust fund. He used Canadian tax money. We gave the lawful tax to the Receiver General. The money was gifted from us whether we like it or not.

if the Canadians were “intolerant” then why didn’t he try to kill a Canuck? Why try to kill an American, that’s what I would ask if I were the judge = Canuck intolerance is irrelevant to the case, as, um he had no green card?

Lived in Canada and going to jail in the US. So Canada’s (admittedly Muslim) Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will no doubt explore how he could bring
Ftouhi back to Canada to serve out his sentence and then give him 10 million dollars for having abandoned him to American Justice. Trudeau has now given out 40 million to convicted Jihadist terrosists and to incarcerated terrorist coordinators whom he ordered released without charges.

That we know of! Think of what we don’t know about Trudeau’s support of jihad? Remember Trudeau flying “refuges” into Canada and housing them on military bases? That’s my tax money…….how about grants, gifts, and money given out to groups whole main purpose is open borders. SNL corruption is nothing compared to how our elected government organizes our economic and cultural destruction.

I believe the U.S. is doing fairly well however they have their political traitors as well as citizens who are traitors as well.
Trump has saved them (for now) from the mess canada and Europe, Britain are in but with the left losing their minds and upping the attacks, threats and so on along with the dems doing everything in their power to discredit Trump while the lies and accusations continue to undermine his governing, I am concerned about the next and last election for him.
IF the U.S. falls to the left/islam, THEN WE ALL ARE DONE AND IT IS DONE FOR THE WHITE, FREE, DEMOCRATIC, PEACEFUL WORLD AND POSSIBLY HUMANITY AS A WHOLE.

GIVE ME A F**KING BREAK! these sub human barbarians are the most vile , discriminating, hating, maggots on the planet and are invading , overthrowing , raping, torturing, bombing everywhere they go leaving nothing but hell holes and broken lives.
here in canukistan they are rewarded via their hero mohammad trudeau with mult million dollar tax free cheques, citizenship, gold plated free health care/ housing/ welfare and endless money for life while none are denied entry, none vetted and none have to work , contribute, learn our languages, obey the laws or be held accountable for any of their crimes! FACT!!
I have had ENOUGH OF THESE MAGGOTS AND OF MOHAMMAD TRUDEAU but the only thing that will change this is WAR, and a REAL MILITARY- WHICH WE NO LONGER HAVE, TO REMOVE THIS LITTLE TERRORIST AND HIS PRO TERRORIST REGIME AND ALL THIS TRASH FROM OUR LANDS!
They are all protected and served by EVERY LAW ENFORCEMENT, COURT, HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION, POLITICIAN, GOVERNMENT, JUDGE, SCHOOL, UNIVERSITY, MEDIA AND THE LIST GROWS while we dumb f**k canuks slave to pay for them all!
