Ottawa Attack: Contrasting the Mothers of Terrorists

The mother of the Muslim terrorists who attacked Canada’s parliament building on October 22 says she is weeping for her son’s victims, not for her son. What a contrast with the mothers of Palestinian terrorists who murder Israelis.

Mrs. Susan Bibeau, the mother of Canadian terrorist Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, told the Associated Press on October 23: “If I’m crying it’s for the people, not for my son…I am mad at my son.”

If only Palestinian mothers felt the same way! Instead, they have the jihad mentality, too.

Last year (on Jan. 27, 2013), the Facebook page of Fatah, the movement headed by Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas, posted a feature about the mother of 23-year-old Wafa Idris, the first female Palestinian suicide bomber. She murdered one Israeli, and wounded over 100, by blowing herself up in a Jerusalem supermarket in 2002. The posting quoted Wafa’s mother as saying “She is a hero…My daughter is a Martyr (Shahida).”

The Fatah page added: “Wafa’s mother said that she is proud of her daughter, and hopes that more girls will follow in her footsteps.”

More recently, in an interview with Israel Television on June 29, the mother of one of the Hamas terrorists involved in the kidnap-murders of three Israeli teenagers said: “If they [the Israelis] accuse him of this [the kidnapping], and if it is a true accusation, I will be proud of him until Judgment Day. If the accusation that he did it is true…My boys are all righteous, pious and pure. The goal of my children is the triumph of Islam.”

Of course, that is not to say that no Palestinian mothers have any regrets about their children carrying out suicide bombing. But those regrets are not always the kind one would hope for. For example, on June 6, 2004, PA Television broadcast these remarks by the mother of a 15-year-old who died during a suicide attack: “It was sad and joyous what happened to him, meaning, he always liked the Shahada (Martyrdom). All children at his age do. He always cared for me. I would have preferred that one of his other brothers would have attained Shahada instead of him, because he was the joy of my life.”

How can one explain the stark contrast between the Canadian mother and the Palestinian mother? It’s not really so complicated. Different cultures have different values. Canadian culture promotes Judeo-Christian values — democracy, equal rights, respect for minorities, non-violence.

By contrast, Palestinian society is dominated by a “culture of Jihad,” Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said this week. On his Facebook Page, Ya’alon wrote that the latest Palestinian terrorist attacks are “clearly the outcome of those in the Palestinian Authority who educate the younger generation to hate Jews and expel them from their homeland.” He added: “The Palestinian Authority does not, and never did, have a culture of peace, but rather a culture of incitement and jihad against Jews. It starts with Abbas’s lying statements against Israel from the UN podium, continues with persistent Palestinian attempts to delegitimize us in the international arena and ends with incitement in the Palestinian education system. These are the harsh consequences.”

I wouldn't bet much money on that. It's not about the mother. He was a convert, mom didn't embrace a form of Islamic culture. Her son did. He won't be supplying Canada with another generation, but others will.

Well, she is responsible for bringing the reverted Jihadi into the world.

Her family history would be interesting to read. (How long did the jihadi islamic baby daddy stick around, etc.)

Don’t be duped by this woman. She married a muslim terrorist. Probably to get him status in Canada. Ironic, because she is a high ranking immigration/refugee official. I wonder how many other terrorists she let into Canada.

You are talking out of your ass. You do not know what you are talking about. The father has been reported to have been a Libyan businessman living in Montreal, and yes he was married to the mother unlike what was stated earlier on the thread. If one used logic instead of knee jerk thinking, one can only come to the conclusion that the father was anything but a jihadi. Since the son was a convert to Islam, logic would indicate he was raised a Catholic, his mother was Quebecois. How many jihadi men allow their sons to be raised Catholic. I will answer that, none. I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you were engaging in barroom bloviating, and that your are not as dumb as the post indicates.

Because, as we know, it is common for Algerian-Quebecois businessmen to go to Libya to fight with the rebels (aka, al-quaeda, muslim brotherhood, ISIS or whatever you want to call them), as did Bulgasem Zehaf.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you were engaging in barroom bloviating, and that your are not as dumb as the post indicates.

Thanks.

I seem to recall some bosh floating around on the internet recently about holding parents responsible for the actions of their children.

This incident would provide an interesting test of that idea.
