"honest" and "hard-working." and no doubt a "moderate" muslim as well. In the UK "businessman" is a journalistic euphamism for a drug dealer or someone who's income comes from illegitimate sources. I would love to know what "business" this clown is involved in.

Whether the charges are false or not will be determined in court.

Presumably the Hill Times made note of Abbas' career in order to add credibility to the "false" assertion Abbas was making. I think most readers think it puts the Hill Times in a bad light for showing bias towards Abbas' opinion AND perhaps a poor judge of what a repectable journalist is.

Dumb. They went down a couple of pegs in my opinion of their respectability.

Whenever I read stories like this one I wish we could just hang the last 10 or 12 Liberal Immigration Ministers

The Hill Times ... and this Abbas guy, a supposed respected Parliament Hill reporter who has been on staff for seven years, now discovered he's a brother to a terrorist. And just when I knew I couldn't trust these lying baxtards any less...now this. Who do they work for the enemy-who've declared war on us, the liberals or the Canadian public?

Alas not all's lost, here's a *poor vicitm* cbc can quickly focus on instead of staring at their navels for the rest of the year.

Just think how much more health care we could have instead of cbc year after year.

If the brother says the allegations are false, then, clearly, there's no point in continuing the investigation.....nothing to see here

Maybe his honest, hard working job was to be employed at the CRU?

Pipeline of hatred

We don't want to be unfair to Liberal immigration ministers, I would say hang all Liberals we can catch -- this is a just society don't forget.

The colonization of Canada continues with Unexpected congruences (Not consequences in this context although those too of course).

All meeting at the Road named Jihad.

Too close for comfort.

These guys must think "hard working" and "honest mean something different.

Ft Hood shooter Hasan's brother described him in exaclty the same manner.

Okanagon,

More important than he is his brother, he is a journalist, and a respected one at that. No need to investigate.....move along.

Wonder what discussions were like around the Eid table this year?

Better his family "plunged ... into a nightmare," than one or two Danish journalists and their families thrust into a morgue.
Fair trade?

"honest" and "hard-working." and no doubt a "moderate" muslim as well.

The family always says that.
Some of the family members of the 9/11 terrorists said that too, and even claimed their boys were still alive and that they had spoken with them since 9/11.

It's a "saving face" thing that Asians do, it's cultural.

If you were following ROP as closely as I was for the past few years, you'd noticed that the followers are strategically placing themselves into the jobs, where they have access to explosive substances and materials, ramming objects, security infrastructure, medicine, communications and firearms.

Although there is imminent threat, which is only waiting for a signal from the mosques, we are being silent and sitting on our hands.

Truly instinct of self preservation in the West has faded away.

Oz - I don't think that it's just Asians... Every youngster that gets killed was a "honest" and "hard-working" person, even if they were a 2 bit crack dealer.

Some of you are forgetting that these are PC code words for "stop digging any further into this matter, it doesn't matter what he said or wrote or did".

Yeah well the authorities have other priorities---like raided licence-registered fire-arms owners.
This keeps up we will have to declare an open season on LIBRANOs and certain ethnic/demographic groups.

Some seasons should start sooner rather than later. If it only saves one life!

Because the other side knows no seasons.

"Nouri is well-known to police. Six years ago he pointed a sawed-off shotgun at a female Toronto police officer and tried to steal her gun. He was subsequently convicted of armed robbery."

Related to the jihad, and cross-posted from "Reader Tips" - Breaking...

Amanda Lindout, the Alberta-born "freelance" stringer for Iranian state-run "Press TV"(*) - who was kidnapped in Somalia after venturing without armed mercenary escort into "As-Shabaab'" territory(**), and last seen wearing a red chador in a ransom video - has been released. No word on whether a ransom was paid.

c'mon kate et al... you're all missing the obvious upside here.

think of all the money we could save on cops, investigations,
trials and prisons... just by asking the suspect's families for
their judgement.

voila... no more costly, interminable court proceedings.

apply this remedy across the entire spectrum of the criminal justice
system... and we'll have the national deficit paid off in jig time.

this is sheer genius.
