Joshua Boyle, alleged Taliban hostage, arrested in Canada

Joshua Boyle, the certified idiot who thought it was a good idea to travel to the Middle East with his pregnant wife and was taken hostage for his efforts was arrested Monday in Canada. He faces a bunch of charges after his return home in October.

Boyle, 34, is due in court Wednesday after appearing earlier this week. He faces charges ranging from two counts of sexual assault to two counts of unlawful confinement, The Toronto Star reported. The obvious jihad sympathizer has also been charged with saying death threats, misleading police, assault and causing someone to "take a noxious thing, namely Trazodone."

Eric Granger, the lawyer for Boyle,  spoke to CTV News and said of his client: "This is an individual obviously we all know has been through a lot, is an individual otherwise who hasn't been in trouble before, and he's presumed innocent of these charges."

The alleged crimes by Boyle reportedly happened between October 14 and December 20, The Star reported, citing a court document.

Boyle's wife, 31-year-old Caitlan Coleman, is an American; he is Canadian. They and their three young children were "rescued" on October 11 by Pakistani troops from captivity in Pakistan and Afghanistan, where they were being held by Taliban-linked extremists for five years.

The idiots allegedly went backpacking in Afghanistan in October 2012. Why anyone not wanting to be kidnapped by Islamic extremists would do that is a mystery.

Coleman was seven months pregnant when she and her low-functioning husband were abducted. She claims her captors forced the abortion of her unborn daughter after Boyle allegedly refused to join their terrorist organization. Perhaps he was waiting for a better offer.

After Boyle was arrested, his wife said in a statement to The Star, "I can't speak about the specific charges, but I can say that ultimately it is the strain and trauma he was forced to endure for so many years and the effects that that had on his mental state that is most culpable for this."

It is unclear as to what mental health credentials Coleman has, but she clearly wants her diagnosis to be believed.

She wisely added: "Obviously, he is responsible for his own actions, but it is with compassion and forgiveness that I say I hope help and healing can be found for him. As to the rest of us, myself and the children, we are healthy and holding up as well as we can."

So it's all about her and the family, not about the victims of Boyle's criminal acts. We have to forgive him for being a scum crumpet but they don't need to ask forgiveness to Boyle's victims. 

Healing? This moronic family went backpacking in Afghanistan. 

I do not for one moment believe that Boyle holds no sympathies for the jihadis. 

Remember, Boyle is probably best known for being married to Omar Khadr's older sister, Zaynab Khadr. She is the eldest daughter of Ahmed Said Khadr, who was accused by the U.S. and Canada of being an associate and financier of Al-Qaeda.

Ahmed studied at the University of Ottawa and he and the family moved between Canada, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Zaynab was a staunch defender of her father and brother, Omar Khadr, who was captured with the Taliban in Afghanistan and charged with killing an American soldier when Omar was 15 and held in Guantanamo Bay Detention.

Zaynab Khadr? and Joshua Boyle

Boyle had a strong interest in national security and human rights after the Islamic terrorist attacks of 9/11. 

His friend, Alex Edwards, who lives in Ottawa, said that Boyle was smart  and a "crusader" by nature and was captivated by the plight of Omar Khadr.

"Here was this kid, this Canadian child, off in an illegal American prison, and everyone in Canada was vilifying the Khadr family, and Josh decided, 'Hey, this isn't right.' So he went off and devoted several years of his life to help this innocent kid," Edwards said.

Except that Khadr wasn't innocent--he killed an American soldier with a grenade and wounded another.

Boyle at first, had no connection to the Khadr family of terrorists, but introduced himself and volunteered to help them, explained Edwards. Boyle was their spokesperson in 2008 when Zaynab staged a hunger strike to Parliament Hill [in Ottawa] to protest Omar's detention.

Boyle married Zaynab Khadr in 2009 when he was 25 and she was 29. It was Zaynab's third marriage! 

Things just didn't seem to work out for her. The first two were arranged marriages. Her first husband was sought as a conspirator in a bombing of the Egyptian Embassy in Pakistan.

Her second marriage in Afghanistan had a distinguished guest--none other than Osama bin Laden. In 2004 she made controversial statements about the way Canadian children were raised and suggested that the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were justified.

Boyle defended Zaynab's remarks and quoted the Bible, "Let he without sin cast the first stone."

After about ten years at Guantanamo, Omar Khadr was returned to Canada and was awarded a $10.5 million settlement from Trudeau's government for violation of his charter rights. Poor kid.

Several months after his marriage to Zaynab, intruders broke into the home of his parents, Linda and Patrick Boyle. They smashed the front door, ransacked the house and put bullet holes in the windows. Nothing was taken and the Boyles were away at the time. Joshua thinks the break-in was connected to his marriage.

They divorced in 2010 when they were living in Toronto with Zaynab and her daughter from a previous [terrorist] marriage. 

The following year, Boyle married Caitlan Coleman--they med on Star Wars fan site. The marriage took place while they were hiking through Central America. It is unknown who presided over the marriage, perhaps a 'person of the cloth,' or perhaps a chipmunk.

In the summer of 2012, they believed they had the experience to handle a backpacking trip to Central Asia, according to a video interview with Coleman's parents, but somehow they ended up in Afghanistan.

I believe that Boyle and Coleman are full of crap. Boyle's buddy Edwards said that he believed Joshua may have been in the process of converting to Islam.

There is no marriage unless Boyle converted . . . period!

Haqqani's killed infant girl, raped wife ex-hostage says

After landing in Toronto on Friday with his family, Canadian Joshua Boyle told the media about his family's 5-year-long ordeal as "hostages" in Afghanistan.

Boyle, who sports a Mohammad-style beard (no mustache) said the Haqqani network killed his infant daughter and raped his American-born wife in captivity. 

Five years ago, Caitlan Coleman and Boyle went on a freaking backpacking trip in Afghanistan while she was pregnant! Both are now being considered for the coveted Darwin Awards.   

As any sane person may have predicted, the couple was abducted by the Haqqani extremist network, a terrorist group linked to the Taliban. After their first child was born, Coleman became pregnant three more times in captivity, because they are not geniuses.

According to U.S. government officials, Pakistani forces carried out the rescue based on our intelligence information.

The last leg of their journey was on Air Canada from London to Toronto. The family left Pakistan on a commercial flight after Boyle got cold feet taking a U.S. plane because he was afraid he'd be arrested based on his shady background--he was previously married to the sister of a known terrorist, Omar Khadr. 

Boyle was scared he'd be sent to Guantanamo Bay Detention Center like his brother-in-law, Khadr, had for 10 years after being captured in a 2002 firefight at an al Qaeda compound in Afghanistan.

But Boyle simply wanted to take his current wife backpacking in the-land-of -the-sand, nothing more.

However, the U.S. Department of Justice said neither Boyle nor his hijab-head-covered wife, Coleman, is wanted for any federal crime. (Coincidentally, 'Coleman' is also the name of the drug-addled sidekick of happy-go-crazy serial killer, Serge Storms, in Tim Dorsey's series of novels, but that's a different story.)

When the plane landed in Toronto, Coleman could be seen wearing a tan-colored hijab and she nodded without speaking when confirming her identity to a reporter.

In the two seats next to her were her two elder children and beyond them sat Boyle with the youngest child in his lap. U.S. State Department officials were on the plane with them.

Boyle, who most likely has converted to Islam and hates the West and all the infidels who dwell here, gave the Associated Press a handwritten statement expressing disagreement with  U.S. foreign policy.

The note read:

"God has given me and my family unparalleled resilience and determination, and to allow that to stagnate, to pursue personal pleasure of comfort while there is still deliberate and organized injustice in the world would be a betrayal of all I believe, and tantamount to sacrilege."

It sounds as if Boyle may be slightly crazy, as narcissistic as a Clinton, and a perpetrator of run-on sentences.

Boyle nodded to a State Department official and said as profoundly as he could say, "Their interests are not my interests."

He also said that one of his kids is in poor health and had to be force-fed by their Pakistani rescuers.

The family de-boarded the plane before the other passengers who were then inconvenienced about ten minutes before being allowed to leave the aircraft.

Not allowing any global event to go un-tweeted, President Trump tweeted just before they landed that the U.S. was "starting to develop a much better relationship with Pakistan and its leaders." However, noticeably missing from the tweet was Trump's signature exclamation point! He cryptically added, however, "I want to thank them for their cooperation on many fronts."

In the past, the U.S. has accused Pakistan of ignoring the Haqqani network, which held the family. The group is considered a terrorist organization but they don't usually kill their captives, and instead use them to make a few bucks in ransom.

The Haqqani group previously demanded the release of Anas (the second 'a' is pronounced like a 'u') Haqqani, a son of the group's founder, in exchange for the Boyle-Coleman group. 

In a video released by the Haqqani network, Boyle begged the Afghan government not to execute Taliban prisoners, or he and his wife would be killed. 

They inexplicably weren't killed. Perhaps it was due to their love of Allah, Islam and jihad, but we cannot know what's in the mind of someone who takes his pregnant wife backpacking into Afghanistan . . . or takes a pregnant wife backpacking, period.

According to U.S. officials, several other Americans are being held by militant groups in Pakistan or Afghanistan.

One hostage is Kevin King, 60, a teacher at the American University of Afghanistan in Kabul. King was abducted in August of last year.

Then there's Paul Overby, a writer in his 70s who had gone to the region several times until his luck ran out and he disappeared in eastern Afghanistan in 2014.

But getting back to Boyle and his family, while I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I suspect there's a lot more to him and his wife than we know. 

I have very little doubt that he converted to Islam and from anecdotal evidence we see so often in the media, infidels who convert to Islam tend to do it for jihad-centric reasons. 

Methinks he's Bowe Bergdahl in Islamic civvies.
