The accused Maskinongé terrorist created videos with titles such as Jihad Academy and Mujahideen Secrets using a souped-up computer in his basement apartment in the sleepy Quebec town.
Said Namouh engaged in hundreds of online conversations and produced videos praising violent attacks on U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. He lauded the kidnappers of a British journalist in Gaza and allegedly helped distribute ransom demands. He threatened future attacks in Germany and Austria. In a series of chats in August, 2007, Mr. Namouh planned a trip to Egypt and Germany for a mission involving a bomb attack. In one brief online comment, he proclaimed his expertise in explosives. His handler and alleged co-conspirator sent him $800, suggesting he buy a gun.

Mr. Namouh’s lawyer said his defence will rest on whether the videos, writings and wiretapped conversations can be defined as criminal behaviour. Defence lawyer Réné Duval said he will not contest much of the evidence presented in court yesterday, including hundreds of pages of intercepted conversations.
“The debate will be whether these activities can really be described as acts of terrorism under the law,” Mr. Duval said. “One of my arguments is going to be about freedom of speech.”

Do you really believe calling to slain infidels is “freedom of speech”? Oh, please, this is offending nobody, don’t be ridiculous… Those infidels are not strong enough…
So plotting to plant bombs, colaborating to kidnap people or distribute ransom money, menacing soldiers, etc. is freedom of speech (or can be). But denouncing that is “xenophobia”. Oh, please, don’t make me laugh soooo hard!!!
