For Abdullah Khadr, attending a training camp in Afghanistan where he learned to use a rocket launcher and detonate explosive material at the age of 13 was simply part of the "Muslim culture" there.
That's what Khadr, now 28, told an Ontario court Monday when he took the stand for the first time to testify in his effort to fight extradition to the U.S. on terrorism charges.
The member of the Khadr clan, Canada's so-called Al Qaeda family, recounted in detail what he did during three months at Khalden camp, which he said was not combat training.
"So a 13-year-old putting together an explosive is what kids are taught at summer camp, like kids here learn volleyball?" asked Crown prosecutor Howard Piafsky.
Khadr, whose late father Ahmed Said Khadr was a reputed Canadian Al Qaeda financier and a friend of Osama bin Laden, said learning to use a grenade launcher was no big deal since "it's something everyone has," adding, "99 per cent of the people are walking around with Kalashnikovs.

So this 28 year old Muzzie guy wanted to become a terrorist from age 13. This is Islamic terrorist culture at its roots.
Right, and it’s not a religion, it’s a world-domination movement cleverly disguised as a religion so as to get away with crimes.
Why is he fighting extradition to the U.S.? He’ll get the royal red carpet treatment from the ostammer administration and probably get the 72 virgins right here on earth. There are thousands of far left groupies chasing muzzies. They’re kind of like those “bug-chaser” homos who try to get AIDS because it makes them feel ‘fulfilled’.
Well who hasn’t fished with explosives?
It’s a cult that wants world government under the sword and the Qur’an.
Big deal. Who doesn’t have happy childhood memories of 22s, shotguns, and fishing with quarter-sticks?
“Well who hasnt fished with explosives?”
I seem to remember cherry bombs and M-80s in the creek and gravel pit from my misspent youth...
Yes, the wonders of waterproof cannon fuse...
I would argue that the M-80s and cherry bombs did not make for your youth being misspent, but rather today's emphasis on socialism and so-called "community service" makes for a misspent youth.
That is a Southern thing....quarter chunks of Dynamite and a deep fryer.
I haven’t but my father fished with dynamite in the slews of San Diego County when he was young for mullet and sold them for chicken feed.
I think there are over one hundred variants of the game warden / dynamite fishing joke that ends: “You gonna talk, or you gonna fish?”
