National Post journalist writes a sob story about a Canadian jihadi

Strange going-ons with journalist Stewart Bell of National Post.  He pens an article which is a sob story of what happened to a Canadian jihadi  when fighting in Libya to overthrow Gadhafi.  The jihadi comes back with a bullet in his spine and is now confined to a wheelchair which means the jihadi will be a burden to the Canadian taxpayer for the rest of his miserable life.  And, to add insult to injury, nitwit journalists like Stewart Bell decide to write articles from the jihadis' point of view. Stewart Bell didn't think it was his duty as a Canadian to mention to the jihadi  that if one considers oneself to be a Canadian, then what happens in your "home" country that you left to be a citizen of Canada should not matter to you. Your loyalty is to Canada and as a Canadian citizen you have no right to join uprisings in other countries. If one wants to do that, then one should give up their Canadian citizenship and get the fuck out of here.  But, of course not .... it was far from Steward Bell's mind to remind the jihadi of the wrong he has done.

O Canada!  When and how did you go wrong!

From National Post:
....Gentle and soft-spoken, Tarek Ben-Kura wasn’t a fighter by nature, but when the Arab Spring came to Libya, he couldn’t just watch from Canada as the regime forces crushed the revolt. He wanted to be there on the frontline.

“Hamid, have you ever fired a gun before?” he asked his pal, a Montreal student who was also thinking of joining the fight. Clad in a Habs t-shirt and a sideways ball cap the colours of the Libyan flag, Hamid shook his head. The only shooting he had done was in video games.

“I played Call of Duty,” he offered.

Mr. Ben-Kura had never fired a gun either. He was a Montreal-born business student at Bishop’s University. But after arriving in Benghazi, he signed up for basic weapons training and set off to help the Libyan rebels topple Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.

Three years later, the Mad Dog of the Middle East lies in an unmarked grave somewhere beneath the desert sand and Mr. Ben-Kura is back in Canada with a new mission. Four days a week, he visits an Ottawa physiotherapy clinic, building his strength so he might one day get out of the wheelchair he has needed since a soldier’s bullet severed his spine. He struggles with post-traumatic stress. He is 25.

In an interview this week, he insisted it was worth it to oust Gaddafi and free his political prisoners. “He’s dead now,” he said of the dictator. “His sons and the other people who were doing the dirty work for him are either out of the country or in jail. They have to face the consequences of what they did. And that’s good enough.”...........
