A man who admitted to terrorism-related acts with the militant group Islamic State told a judge Thursday he didn't know any better.

Hussein Borhot, 36, pleaded guilty to one count of participating in terrorism group activity between May 9, 2013, and June 7, 2014, as well as to kidnapping for a terrorist group while in Syria.An agreed statement of facts read in a Calgary courtroom said Borhot travelled to Syria through Turkey to join the Islamic State. He signed up as a fighter, received substantial training and excelled as a sniper.

Court heard that Borhot told the officer that he and some other Islamic State fighters travelled to a village, where they kidnapped a number of opposing fighters. He said Borhot told the officer that "he loved shooting and jihad , while mimicking the movement of holding a machine-gun in his hand." Borhot had been free on bail with strict conditions, including wearing ankle-tracking devices, not applying for travel documents and heeding a ban on having firearms, ammunition or explosives.Prosecutor Kent Brown hopes the case will act as a deterrent.

If you “don’t know any better” you won a prize called dangerous offender and get to spend the rest of your life institutionalized.

So just give him ten million dollars and apologize for not letting him go sooner. That is wrong! What was I thinking, best be 15 million to account for inflation.

He used the Trudeau excuse

Don’t care

Harming people and hoping for blood isn't something non terrorist people seek...kidnapping / bomb making and all the media surrounding 9/11 ..this dudes LYING ...

Please state the nature of the emergencyMPs and senators ask which unprecedented facts required an Emergencies Act RosieBarton Disgusting to still see trucks with these horrible slogans etc on them. Inquiry as to why the Emergencies Act! Is this country totally mad? You have to ask why? Can the government not use a lawful bill? Even passed by the Cons? RosieBarton If a “journalist” needs to ask this question, they simply confirm how useless they are at informing the public. RosieBarton The capital city of Canada was invaded, and the residents held hostage, by domestic terrorists for nearly a month. These terrorists were there to advance their cause for the breakup of the nation. That's as much an emergency as has occurred in any Canadian city in about 50 years.
