#1 He lived in Canada for six years on the outside, went home and was surprised to learn his involvement in a brawl could result in punishment. Could be my heart is two sizes too small because I could care less what happens to him so long as he and his family never trouble Canada again.

#3 Check out the photo -- he looks like a wimp even for a Canadian. Canada will rally around Sultan because they disagree w/Sharia law when it's enforced in a country other than their own.

#4 "The Kohail family immigrated to Canada from Saudi Arabia in 2000 and ... moved back to their homeland temporarily in 2006."

Here's free clue, dipshits: If you manage to legally get out of a country that thinks beheading is good public policy, DON'T. GO. BACK. For any reason. And definitely don't take your (at least partly) Westernized kids with you.

#5 "In a prior ruling handed down March 3, Kohail's 23-year-old brother, Mohamed, was sentenced to death by beheading for the same incident."

This whole story sounds like concocted crap.
Under Saudi law, as far as I understand it, diyya applies.
If so the blood money to be paid is 100,000 riyals (US$26,667)
The family is probably trying to screw the Canadian Government AKA Canadian taxpayer, into paying the money for them.

#6 These fools didn't learn from another Canuck who had the misfortune to run afoul of the Muzzies. Remember the Iranian/Canadian female reporter who got raped, beaten and murdered in Iran in 2004? In response to the torture and murder of one of its citizens, Canada sent a strong diplomatic note. That scared the Mullahs so badly that IIRC, they didn't even bother responding to it. Formally, that is, although the Mullahs probably grabbed their packages and said something in Farsi like, "I got yuh response RIGHT HERE, INFIDELS!"

I was in Canada at the time and heard Canadians openly admitting that Canada had no choice but to take it because their military weakness meant they had no way to do anything about it. Same thing applies here. The Kohail boys are screwed, quite probably literally so but most assuredly figuratively. The most helpful thing their parents can do for them now is send them a few industrial-size jars of Vaseline.

All the Canucks who come on the 'Burg telling us all about how right-wing Americans are all stupid warmongers should pay attention to the difference in the way Americans and Canucks are treated in Muzzie countries. Americans they may hate, but at least our potential for retaliation is known and feared.

Canucks are also hated as infidels but they're despised as well. Their troops are fighting hard in the small conflict going on in Afghanistan and doing a good job, but it's no secret that A-stan has them stretched to, and probably almost past, their limit. They have nothing with which to put leverage on the Saudis, and both sides know it. Therefore, these Canucks are toast.

#7 Would be nice to have the Canadian Human Right Commission take a field trip to this Islamic Paradise on earth for a few years.
