Good news story of the day

*sniff* *sniff*....I just love a happy ending!

[desertdude]

What a fucking waste. You had a life many envy and you threw it all away to join these pricks.

[martin14]

Damn, I'm having a good day.

Cleaned up the garage, nice sunny day, BBQ, got the hot tub finally fired up tonight,

and now this.











They should pick up the brother as well.

Some good news from the Middle East for a change. Here's to his fellow "Canadians" who fought alongside him joining him soon in whatever hell he is enjoying.

[BRAH]

Enjoy, you earned it!

And here's today's earworm.

Oh, that fuck. Good riddance to bad garbage. Apparently he was well educated and had a great future in front of him.

DD, do you have any idea why these guys do this. I certainly have some thoughts, this isn't confined to Muslims, young men have always been sucked into quests. Probably no different than men joining the crusades, Canadians fighting in Vietnam, fighting for republican Spain, what have you. But this thing of hating your the country that offers you such a great life, wtf is up with that?

[Freakinoldguy]

One less asshole for the bleeding hearts to champion.

[andyt]

I'd like to read about those bleeding hearts championing this guy, FOG. Good to know who those idiots are. Do you have a link?

What makes it even stranger, is his own family was targeted by the Islamic extremists back in Somalia. Canada gave them shelter and a chance at a peaceful life and this is his response

Stockholm syndrome. Maybe some culture shock too. Became too hard to maintain the man on the fast track way, with the possibility of failure. Many successful people feel like frauds, always convinced someone will find them out, so they live with a lot of anxiety. Add to that the diff between our cultures. Easier to turn your mind off, just think what you are told to, have certainty, and death isn't failure but martyrdom.

Actually we had our jihadis in the 60's. People who hated their country and used violence to try to change it. Same with the red groups in Europe. I mean wtf Baader Meinhof, Germany was doing well, not really that much injustice to start killing over. Young men seem to need to fight for something, but their lives on the line(some women too) and if not given proper outlets go stupid I guess.

In the novel Ecotopia, people recognized this and had ritual warfare with low tech weapons. Some guys got hurt, a few even killed, but it wasn't wholesale slaughter and it kept the young guys in control.

Wait till those 30 million Chinese men without women start acting up.

Not specifically to this guy but here's some for the bleeding hearts to mull over and in fairness maybe I should have used the term apologist rather than bleeding heart.

Troubled teen to extremist

Al-Gharib converted to Islam following a two-year period of personal anguish in his teens that included him dropping out of high school, a diagnosis for bipolar disorder and a suicide attempt at age 17.

How many other 17 year olds have attempted to take their life and never thought of becoming a Islamic Radical? How many people with bi-polar disorder become Allah's Sword? Excuses, troubled teen, disenfranchised youth. Every time you read one of these types of articles there's some excuse about why they did what they did but, I guess that's to be expected because in today's society since nobody is responsible for their own actions, even radical Islamists.

A ‘regular guy’

Both Clairmont and Ashrafi were members of a small group of at least six men who used an apartment building in downtown Calgary as a hub to discuss radical ideas and chart their path to jihad in Syria and Iraq, CBC News has learned, but it’s not clear if Shirdon was a member of their inner circle as well.
'He has evolved big time, I don’t remember him even saying anything like that ... he was just a regular guy.'— Hamza Ayedi, outreach co-ordinator for Muslim youth in Calgary

All you have to do is look at that killer Khadr to see that if any of these poor misguided youth make their way back to Canada they'll be met with open arms by that certain segment of society who thinks they've done what they've done because it's societies fault and not theirs.
