Jihadist Tries to Walk Out of His Own Trial in Canada

The Jihadist tried to walk out of his trial after saying "I'm outta here", however he was promoptly arrested for the act. The suspect does not recognize Canadian law, I wonder what law he does recognize, US law, European Law, islamic law? The court was debating whether the suspect is mentally ill. No, I don't think so...

Toronto Muslim preacher told The Globe that the suspect had been coming to Friday prayers, saying that he'd rather return to jail than live in a non-Islamic household.

Thats whats wrong with him. Globe and Mail

TORONTO — An Islamic convert facing terrorism charges was re-arrested after trying to walk out of his own trial Tuesday – saying simply that “I'm outta here” – after telling the court he wouldn't recognize Canadian law.

The 20-year-old, who can't be identified because he was underage at the time of his arrest two years ago, had been released on bail. But he spent last night in jail, and his legal future is unclear.

At the time proceedings broke down, a police officer had been on the stand, and the court was discussing the young man's mental status, including whether he was suicidal.

The only youth among 11 Torontonians accused of a variety of conspiracies is also the only suspect whose case has got to its trial phase. He faces charges of attending a terrorist training camp. The court has heard only preliminary motions so far, and has yet to delve into evidence or testimony.

While on bail, the young man had been living with his Hindu parents.

A Toronto Muslim preacher told The Globe that the suspect had been coming to Friday prayers, saying that he'd rather return to jail than live in a non-Islamic household.

“He said ‘In jail, I can at least pray,'” Aly Hindy, imam of the Salahuddin Islamic Centre in Scarborough, said in an interview.

“I said ‘Don't do this!'” Mr. Hindy said. He added that he counselled the young man to pray in secret, but tensions between the suspect and his father had reached a boiling point.

The family did not comment.

Mr. Hindy added that the young man is “confused” and that “lots of young people, they need guidance.” The young man had lately been expressing an interest in circumcising himself, the imam said, consistent with his understanding of what the Prophet Abraham had done.

A self-described Islamic fundamentalist, Mr. Hindy has appeared as a proposed bail surete for a variety of individuals facing national-security-related proceedings. The imam said that nothing in Islam calls for Muslims to disregard the Canadian criminal-justice system.

Few observers were in the court Tuesday.

After the youth announced that he was firing his lawyer and didn't recognize the court led by Mr. Justice John Sproat, officials urged him to reconsider.
