I got this information from his press agent last night but didn’t get to it until just now unfortunately, after also seeing him on the Hannity and Colmes show just now on Fox News Channel.
I’ve seen him several times on Fox News Channel and on CNN’s terrific Glenn Beck show. Walid Shoebat also was featured in, among other things, the great film Obsession (which I’ve blogged about here at PTBC several times including here), in which he denounced and helped explain the horrors of the savage medieval Islamofascist terrorists, as very few others on earth could. He was among them, as one of them.
He is extremely well-spoken and articulate and has a unique base of knowledge about the entire middle east and the terrorist mindset.
As he explains it, he made a decision back in 1993 to read the Bible, and it changed him completely, and of course ostracized him completely from the Islamic Palestinian community. He became an outspoken and harsh critic of the Palestinians and terrorists generally.
He’s on our side! He’s extremely valuable to our interests!
Exerpts from the email I received:
Former terrorist, Walid Shoebat, has been refused entry into Canada by Immigration authorities, today [that was yesterday]. Shoebat is scheduled to speak at the Simon Weisenthal Center at 7:30 p.m. in Ottawa tonight [that was last night] and in Montreal tomorrow [that was today]. He is often invited to speak about his life as a terrorist and about his transformation from extremist to peace-maker and activist against terrorism.
“The refusal by the Canadian authorities to let Walid Shoebat in the country shows the absurd policies of immigration officials,” says Keith Davies, director of the Walid Shoebat Foundation. “Mr. Shoebat is trying to educate people about the dangers of terrorism, but is refused entry because he has admitted to his involvement in terror over 20 years ago. Why should the Canadian authorities want to silence his important message?”
On September 10, 2006, Shoebat entered Canada without incident when he was invited to speak on Canadian National TV. He also been to Canada three times in 2004 and his story has been featured by much of the media in Canada.
Are the people who prevented him entry people who were hired by the previous liberal-leftist regimes in this country? And are they still running the place? What the heck is going on when a valuable asset in the war on terror is refused entry into this country when terrorists are let in daily? Do they have a clue?
Perhaps these people need to watch Fox News Channel once in a while to get a grip on reality. Then they’ll figure out the who’s who in fighting the global war on terror. Or maybe they simply don’t want to know.
This is an absolute disgrace and an embarrassment.
