    He isn't a "westerner". He is an Afghan who just happened to be born in Canada. Culturally and religiously he is a product of the backwards East. His family had no business being in the West and he should be sent to join the rest of his family in the Af/Pak area.

    I guess the American black community aren't 'westerners' either. I guess they're all a bunch of big-lipped, spearchucking Africans who just happen to be born in America. By your narrow-minded interpretation black people have no business being here either, is that what you're saying?
