Do you honestly believe that children either "choose" to do everything they are involved in or that they are "forced" to do it? Or do you think perhaps they get involved in things such as Scouts, piano lessons, dance, martial arts, etc. because their parents sign them up, encourage them, and they enjoy it? They are not old enough to "choose" many of these things on their own, and likely don't even know all of the options available to them without parental input, but they are not "forced" to become involved. I hope that helps clear things up for you.

On that note, Omar "compares bin Laden’s training camps to mere martial arts clubs," and it sounds as if he became involved at the age other children become involved in "martial arts clubs."

As for his dad, blaming him, this is what he said - "I think he was just a normal dad. He was just trying to raise his children the right way." And "I know my father, and I don’t accept anybody saying that he’s a bad person." Hardly sounds as if he is blaming his dad for anything wrong and/or as if his dad "forced" him into anything.

Over and over, [Omar] defended his dad. "I can say he’s not an al-Qaeda, and I can base my beliefs on actual facts," he said. "I was living with my father, and I saw him."

FOR YEARS, KHADR’S defenders have pointed the finger at his fanatical father, blaming him for his son’s fate. But Omar himself does not subscribe to that storyline. "I don’t believe that my father sent me knowing that my life was going to be in danger," he said. "And secondly, I don’t think my father thought that anybody would use his kids and things."

Again. Doesn't sound as if his parents forced him to do anything, or as if he felt that they did.

This doesn't sound as if he were "forced," either:  "A home video—recovered from the rubble of the compound after Khadr’s capture—shows the smiling teenager wiring improvised explosive devices and helping to plant them under the cover of darkness."

"Smiling teenager" doesn't come across as forced and/or victimized. His attempt at downplaying/denying his involvement in that is interesting.

As I've also pointed out several times, Omar apologized to Speers' widow "for the pain I caused you and your family," and said he reached "a conclusion" in jail. "You’re not going to gain anything with hate," he said - which doesn't sound like something he would say if he weren't the one to have thrown the grenade.

Yeah, it's a real laughing matter, for sure.

The thing that is the "laughing matter" is the way the Canadian tree(or terrorist) huggers wailed & cried for this murderous traitor. He is a traitor to Canada, he should be tried for that & should then, with his whole family, be "invited" to leave Canada.
In the interview he stated that he considers Canada his home country. I lived in Clairesholm Alta for 1 1/2 years (the approximate time he has spent in Canada to date, and I don't consider it my HOME , I was born in a village in Manitoba and lived there for 3 years but that's not my HOME--- My home is where I live & work and his is also. Send him back to Afghanistan and see how he likes his HOME.--- or how they like him.

The family moved there after omar was born and lived in a compound for terrorists and returned to canada few times after that to raise money in TO to give to the taliban. The kid was born here and that is the only thing canadian about him. He was not raised with canadian values.

If our immigration laws made any sense none of this traitorous family would be Canadian Citizens nor would  9/10ths of the foreign nationals living permanently out of Canada, the “citizens” who use Canada as a back door to safety. If you can’t live at least 2 years out of 5 in Canada, any claim to citizenship should be revoked.  If you haven’t paid any Canadian income tax in the last 2 years any claim to citizenship should be revoked.
If you have served in ANY other army, official or not, any claim to citizenship should be revoked. If you have acted in a warlike manner against any treaty Canada has with any other country any claim to citizenship should be revoked

If we provide a different Chaplin for each prison for each religion we'd end up with not only a gigantic(ER) deficit but we'd have as just a cause as the idiocy that requires us to provide English speaking prisoners with a French interpreter when they request it in Butthole Creek Alberta or any other town that has a  0% French speaking population.
If any religious person prescribes to one God (as all non-pagan persons are supposed to) they all can use the same religious interpreter
For myself, I am leaning towards Baal or perhaps Isis therefore I would need a parson that belongs to the same faith as the ancient Egyptians

All these cuts the Tories are doing is because of their deficit, they created and everyone has to pay the price. I wouldn't put it past the Tories to create the deficit, just to make the changes they think need changing. I don't know if this will be held up in court because we all have the right to our religion. As far a Vic, he broke his religion briefs, when he cheated on his wife, that a no-no in the Mennonite religion and probably kick out of the church.

Gee--- Vic is human---- whooda thot

Yeah--- those bastards--- With the world economy as strong as it was/is, it isn't as if the deficit was due to recovery financing---
