		<description>I think Canada should definitely repatriate Khadr.  Here&#039;s a petition to ask Stephen Harper, Canada&#039;s PM, to do that: &lt;a href=&quot;http://go.care2.com/15898432&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://go.care2.com/15898432&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>Just a timely note on comment etiquette: The response from Muslims Against Sharia appears to be a pasted word-for-word copy of a blog post rather than a customized comment.

Not anything wrong with that in principle, but the guy could have at least taken out the &quot;bleeding heart demagogues&quot; bit at the end that one might reasonably believe is ascribed to me.

Bleeding heart? Moi?</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Hypocrisy of the &quot;Repatriate Omar Khadr to Canada&quot; Movement&lt;/b&gt;

As soon as the Gitmo interrogation tape of Omar Khadr hit the Internet, the blogosphere was flooded with demands to repatriate him to Canada. This wave is reminiscent of a Soviet campaign to free Luis Corvalán from the &quot;fascist regime&quot; of Augusto Pinochet thirty five years ago. The scenario is strikingly similar. A &quot;victim&quot; held by &quot;fascist regimes&quot; this time run by Bush and Harper, and a public outcry for justice. Except for the fact that Luis Corvalán didn&#039;t kill anyone and didn&#039;t fight for a terrorist group that wants to impose Sharia.

The &quot;repatriate Khadr&quot; crowd describes him as &quot;a child&quot;, &quot;a kid&quot;, &quot;a boy&quot;, and even &quot;a torture victim&quot;, with no facts to substantiate the torture claims notwithstanding. They complain about Khadr being mistreated, again, without anything to back up their claims. Some of them are outraged about &quot;child abuse.&quot; And they all scream for justice.

They want justice? OK, let&#039;s talk about JUSTICE. What about justice for Sgt. First Class Christopher J. Speer, who was (according to an eyewitness) murdered by this &quot;child&quot;? What about justice for Tabitha Speer, who is a widow because of this &quot;kid&quot;? What about justice for Taryn and Tanner Speer, who are left without a father by this &quot;a boy&quot;? And what about all those Afghani civilians and NATO troops who are a little bit safer because this &quot;torture victim&quot; is behind bars? How many of these &quot;repatriate Khadr&quot; hypocrites concern themselves with justice for real victims? In literally hundreds of posts, we couldn&#039;t find a single one.

One would ask, what is the reason for this idiocy? The answer is simple. Ignorance. Complete and utter ignorance. Let&#039;s forget for a second that Omar Khadr killed Christopher Speer. Let&#039;s forget that Khadr&#039;s father was an al Qaeda financier. Let&#039;s forget that Khadr&#039;s family is known for it being al Qaeda sympathizers. Let&#039;s just remember what this &quot;child&quot; was fighting for in Afghanistan.

&lt;b&gt;This is what Taliban-imposed Sharia looks like in real life:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://muslimsagainstsharia.blogspot.com/2000/07/hypocrisy-of-repatriate-omar-khadr-to.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://muslimsagainstsharia.blogspot.com/2000/07/hypocrisy-of-repatriate-omar-khadr-to.html&lt;/a&gt;

Why don&#039;t all of you, bleeding heart demagogues go to Afghanistan and spend a day in a Taliban-controlled territory? And let&#039;s talk about Khadr when you get back. If you get back.</description>
