Omar Khadr’s victims filed a civil lawsuit against him in a U.S. court.
Last Thursday, Omar Khadr’s victims filed a civil lawsuit against him in a U.S. court.
Do you know their names?
Khadr murdered a U.S. Army medic. Do you know his name? The medic’s widow is suing Khadr. Do you know her name?
How about their fatherless children? Do you know those kids’ names?
Khadr blinded another American in one eye. Do you know his name?
Everyone knows Omar Khadr’s name. He’s a celebrity.
A search of Infomart, the media database, shows more than 13,000 Canadian news stories about him. Kim Kardashian has just 5,400.
Khadr is a convicted terrorist. He admits it, he describes the murder in great detail.
When he was in Guantanamo Bay, Khadr boasted that murdering an American was the greatest day of his life – he would daydream about it to lift his spirits when he was down.
He won’t renounce terrorism or al-Qaida, or his terrorist father, Ahmed Khadr, killed in a gunfight in Pakistan.
Khadr’s mother and sister publicly boast of their love for al-Qaida, and of their hopes that Omar Khadr will continue in his father’s footsteps.
And yet Khadr is the star of Facebook fan pages. Hundreds of Canadians have taken “selfie” pictures, holding signs testifying to their love for the murderer, demanding he be set free. Judy Rebick, the leftist feminist, compared Khadr to Nelson Mandela.
Many of Canada’s leading journalists refer to Khadr tenderly, by his first name alone. Could you imagine if they did the same for Paul Bernardo?
It’s like the murderer and cult leader Charles Manson. Except that Khadr’s cult extends deep into the public – and the media and legal establishment.
Khadr is a Jew-hater, a racist, a sexist. He particularly hates blacks and women. When he was in Guantanamo Bay, he called one female black guard, “a *****, and a slave and a servant and a bitch,” according to court testimony. Of course he did — Khadr is a Muslim supremacist who hates the idea of a woman, especially a non-Muslim, having power over him.
Yet CTV’s Craig Oliver calls Khadr a “kid.” CBC’s George Stroumboulopoulos calls him a “soldier.”
He wasn’t a kid when he committed murder – we prosecute and sentence teenaged murderers in Canada. And he wasn’t a soldier – any more than the 19 terrorists who hijacked jets on 9/11 were soldiers. But even if a 15-year-old, just a few weeks shy of turning 16, was a “child,” what about the 27-year-old Khadr today, who has never renounced violent jihad?
And that is why this lawsuit from Khadr’s victims is so important. It’s to remind Canadians – especially our morally depraved elites in the media and courts – that there really are victims here, and Khadr isn’t one.
Khadr is a murderer. But his true value to al-Qaida has been to manipulate the media to do the seemingly impossible: to make a terrorist look like a sympathetic victim.
The victims’ lawsuit – for more than $40 million – will do something else. It will ensure that if Khadr wins his own multi-million-dollar lawsuit against the Canadian government for violating his “human rights,” at least that money will go to terror victims, not to the terrorist.
By the way, the murdered medic is Christopher Speer. His widow is Tabitha Speer. The American who lost an eye is Layne Morris. And the Speer kids are Taryn and Tanner.
Those kids have been mentioned by Canadian media just six times, according to Informart. Maybe this lawsuit will change that.
