Canada: Muslim migrant murders McDonald’s coworker by stabbing him in the neck with a machete FEB 28, 2024 9:00 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER 2 COMMENTS “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4) Might that have had anything to do with Solaimane Elbettah’s decision to stab Joshua Burns in the neck with his machete? We will probably never know, because in Canada, as elsewhere, such questions are “Islamophobic.” Because the possibility of Elbettah being influenced by Qur’anic exhortations and Islam’s view of unbelievers will not even be considered, Elbettah will be given a psychiatric examination. After all, what could possibly motivate his actions other than mental illness? “‘He was insulting me’: Alberta man killed McDonald’s co-worker over racial slur, court told,” by Kevin Martin, National Post, February 26, 2024: Murder suspect Solaimane Elbettah told a co-worker he killed a fellow Sundre McDonald’s employee over a racial slur, court heard Monday. And the lawyer for the Moroccan native said he will argue his client was too mentally ill at the time he killed Joshua Burns to be found criminally responsible for his murder. Crown prosecutor Vince Pingitore presented a statement of agreed facts for Calgary Court of King’s Bench Justice Glen Poelman detailing Elbettah’s killing of Burns. Elbettah, 28, is charged with first-degree murder in Burns’ July 4, 2022, killing inside the fast food restaurant where they both worked. Pingitore told Poelman that Elbettah sent a text to one of his supervisors, Richelle Waldner, a short time after he attacked Burns with a machete. “Hi, Richelle, there was a murder at the restaurant. Don’t walk in by yourself,” Elbettah said in his first text, the prosecutor said. “He was insulting me and he was thinking he is better than me because he is white,” the accused said. Pingitore said Elbettah fatally attacked Burns, 19, while the two men were working an overnight shift at the McDonald’s on Main Street in the town of about 2,500 people located 115 kilometres north of Calgary. He said while the actual attack wasn’t captured on surveillance video, footage showed Elbettah’s conduct before and after the killing. Pingitore said the two men had gone outside the restaurant shortly before midnight on July 3, to have a cigarette. After they returned inside, Elbettah grabbed two yellow milk crates and placed them in the drive-through lane to close it down. Video also captured Elbettah walk across the street to his residence in a Sundre motel where he retrieved a machete inside a black bag. “The accused is depicted in the manager’s office with the machete,” Pingitore said. “The accused caused the deceased’s death using the machete.” Burns suffered serious injuries to his neck, including the severing of both his carotid arteries and jugular veins…. Pingitore said he expects defence counsel Pawel Milczarek will present psychiatric evidence regarding his client’s mental state at the time of the killing….
