He says Canadian authorities are perpetrating a “blatant injustice” against him by not allowing him more computer access. He didn’t say anything about the injustice his jihad plots would have done to their victims, had the plots been successful.
“Toronto 18 terror plot architect wants more computer access, but may not have to reveal passwords to parole officers,” by Adrian Humphreys, National Post, October 27, 2021 (thanks to Graham):
While a key architect of the Toronto 18 terrorism plot to detonate truck bombs in Toronto is pushing for more access to electronics while out of prison, the parole board is worried that requiring him to give his computer passwords to his parole supervisor might violate his rights.
Shareef Abdelhaleem was granted day parole 10 months ago and he gushed thanks to the Parole Board of Canada — “You will not be sorry,” he said in December, “you will never hear from me again.” Now, however, he returns to the board complaining over his computer access.
Using computers and the internet have been a steady feature of his awkward adjustment to life beyond bars.
He complained about restrictions on computer access since his release into a halfway house. He was dissatisfied he did not have unlimited internet access and allowed only a single device, either a mobile phone or a computer.
He whined about it. A lot. So much so, it annoyed people around him, parole records say. His complaints will now be heard at an upcoming parole board hearing after a successful appeal.
The board will also be looking at whether he needs to tell his parole supervisor the passwords to all his devices and accounts — even though Abdelhaleem did not complain about this requirement.
Now 46, Abdelhaleem was one of 18 people arrested in sweeping national security raids in June 2006, accused of wide-ranging terrorist plots to detonate powerful truck bombs at the Toronto Stock Exchange, a Canadian military base, and Canada’s spy agency; there were other plans to storm Parliament, take hostages and behead the prime minister.
Abdelhaleem was the last to be convicted. In 2011, he was named a “key architect” of the bomb plot, convicted on terrorism charges, and received a life sentence without chance of parole for 10 years.
Computers were an immense part of his life before he joined the terror plot. He was a software developer, earning a lot and spending a lot; he drove a BMW convertible and once dropped $5,000 on a jacket.
He hasn’t been a problem since he was granted release on managed day parole in December. His day parole was extended in June, allowing him to move into a less restrictive halfway house.
He hasn’t caused security or safety concerns — either over crime or with COVID compliance. He completed a program for parolees, where his involvement was “limited, but adequate.” He continues with de-radicalization counselling because of his radical jihadi past.
He started an online computer programming course to update his skills. It’s needed, as technology has significantly advanced since his arrest.
He pitched easing his internet, mobile phone, and computer restrictions. At a hearing in June, the board was cautious — noting his computer competence likely exceeds that of the parole team tasked with monitoring him.
“The Board has considered the technology available at the time of your offences and the one in place today that could be used by terrorist groups. As such, the Board is of the opinion that your Internet usage and communication must be monitored,” the board said.
The board budged a bit in June, though, allowing him one mobile communication device and one computer — provided the passwords for both devices, as well as for all applications and accounts on them, were provided to his parole officer….

Canada: Muslim convicted of plotting jihad massacres at multiple locations whines about computer restrictions
He complained about restrictions on computer access since his release into a halfway house. He was dissatisfied he did not have unlimited internet access and allowed only a single device, either a mobile phone or a computer.
……………
Um…I just have a laptop. And I don’t consider this a great injustice–and I didn’t plot to mass murder innocent people.
Just more Muslim whining.
Raja says
Same here Gravenimage,
He is surprised that though Muslims are treated in more than a special way by doling out candies of all types, the same attitude of Canada is not reflected in the use of computers/internet.
May be as you said he also whines all times as a narcissist is never happy (he can only take others’ happiness). islam creates mass sub-humans in the pious (as this whining one)
gravenimage says
Grimly true, Raja.

Maybe his successful terrorist attack will convince the board…but I Doubt it!!
somehistory says
This computer thing brings back to memory the guy who was said to have made the “disgusting” film (h. clinton’s description), and did so after being denied use of the internet. He went to prison because he used the internet.
Now, this mozlum terrorist can actually have the use of a computer…and may not have to reveal his passwords…but he is complaining that he can’t use it even more.
Probably wants to make a really “disgusting” video of how to commit terror and not get caught…but if you do, whine a lot and you’ll get benefits of which others, common people, can only wish and dream.
Internet connections cost money. Will he be required to fork over any money for this? Unlimited access costs even more. Who will pay for this? And who will end up paying for his next terror attack?
gravenimage says
Somehistory, I guess you are referring to “The Innocence of Muslims” trailer.
Apart from its being rather poorly produced technically, the only thing disgusting about Nakoula’s film was the way Muhammed and Muslims violently abuse others.
somehistory says
g,
It was “what difference does it make,” clinton who said it was “disgusting”. I never said it, myself.
gravenimage says
Oh, Somehistory, I never thought it was you saying this! I am familiar with this case, and besides you made it very clear you were quoting Hilary Clinton.

Whining? Muzzies are simply superb at whining and one of many reasons why they should be disregarded if not despised by those not infected (yes, “infected” is the appropriate word) by any inclination, whether Muslim or dhimmi, to defend the abomination, actually true evil, which is Islam.
fadeye@yahoo.com says
Exactly!
Fitna says
This b*stard lived a better life than many Canadians and certainly better than the sh*thole country that he came from and this is how he repays his host nation by plotting to kill dozens, maybe hundreds of innocents.
Muslims are effing ingrates-the lot of them. They think we owe them something, everything and it’s never enough, all the while they plan terrorist attacks against us.
What I’d like to know is what is OUR “major malfunction”? (As they say in military lingo.) We can be forgiven for not understanding Islam up until 9/11. After that I consider it all non-Muslims duty to educate themselves about Islam.
But one never had to read the Quran to understand Muslims are our enemy as they’ve proven it to us countless times over the past 20 years.
The solution to would-be terrorists is execution, bring those laws back. If you’re caught trying to kill citizens, you’re the enemy, you’re a traitor, you deserve to be terminated, no if’s and’s or but’s.
Killing terrorists will save us a lot of money in the long term, plus you won’t ever have to hear about their whining or getting short sentences so they can go out and try to kill us again or ‘radicalise’ others to do the same.
To this day our leaders are still showing that they’re weak, inept and clueless about how to deal with Islam/Muslims, which means more people will suffer in the future.
James Lincoln says
Fitna,
Jihadis are not just criminals.
They are enemy combatants – and should be dealt with as such.
Fitna says
James,
Exactly and this is the confusion our elites, media and many ordinary citizens seem to have.
They think is a criminal matter rather than an act of war-when the signs are obvious.
War is very simple-get them before they get you. So far we’re fighting on the defensive and losing.
Muslims have no such confusions. They don’t twist themselves into contortions worrying about ‘Infidelophobia.’ They know we’re the enemy and they work to take as many of us out as they can, while we pussy-foot around them as if they’re sacred and untouchable.
Generations from now they’ll ask how we could’ve been so weak, stupid and cowardly when facing an obviously weaker and outnumbered enemy.
The fact that France has begun to stand up for itself has given me hope that if even some of the weakest nations could find its backbone then others in time can also.
James Lincoln says
Fitna,
Agree, and thank you for your reply.
OLD GUY says
When you are not willing to do what it takes to win the war you usually lose. Our current enemy Islam has no problem with killing all of us military and civilians, while we pussy foot around with who we should fight and rules of engagement. You can’t defeat an enemy if you don’t kill the will of the people to fight.
fadeye@yahoo.com says
And this enemy MUST be defeated!
