Former Canadian Idol Contestant Arrested on Terror Charges
**Written by Doug Powers
I’m posting this in part because it’s so rare that I get a chance to use the “Terrorism” and “Music” tags on the same post, but this has been one of those weeks:
Khuram Sher, who sang comical version of Avril Lavigne’s ‘Complicated’ on reality show, suspected of involvement in homegrown terror plot that involved attempted bombing of Canada’s main stock exchange, two government buildings.
Two terrorism suspects made a brief appearance in court on Thursday, and a third man, who appeared on Canada’s version of “American Idol,” has reportedly been arrested as part of an alleged homegrown plot.
Police arrested two Ottawa residents Wednesday and said they expected more arrests. The Toronto Star reported the third arrest, of Khuram Sher, on Thursday.
Here’s the alleged terrorist attack plotter allegedly singing Avril Lavigne’s “Complicated” in 2008:
The arrest might put a crimp on Sher’s plan to star in Bin Laden: The Musical.

I was terrorized just listening to him sing. Just more proof these people are crazy.
Just like Hitler. Failed artist turns into madman.
I can’t understand why he didn’t win? He was so good…
Doug:
I read at Atlas Shrugs that this clown Sher is a physician!

Yeah, I guess poverty is what’s driving these jihadi savages….
He was only plotting against them because of their anti-islamic views that did not allow him to win Idol….
/sarc
Doug you are such a bigot topick on this poort talentless man. The talentless have rights too ya know!
I just snorted coffee from my nose
he came from Pakistan in ’2 K 5′.
that’s what he said.
what a lunatic.
The judges are obviously haters of Islam.
I wonder why they never wanna bomb Montreal? Toronto? Calgary? Quebec City? Vancouver?
That’s a pretty good moonwalk!
“I didn’t win?! I keel you!!!”
My car is a Twenty-’aught-Six Saturn.
I have a 2k6 Subaru and a 2k Mazda, m’self.
I am suprised he came from London, Ontario. I would of thought Brampton, Scarborough or maybe Mississauga.
Nothing could have prepared me for the terror I just witnessed
Dex #13 LOL. Speaking of that, did you see the bodybuilder attack the judge for not voting for him? Oh yeah, pump a guy so full of steroids he’s about to burst through his skin and then expect him to react rationally to problems. It’s a wonder all these steroid junkies don’t attack the judges. And yes, wouldn’t it make you just a little nervous to judge a talentless guy wearing devout islamic garb? The guy who rang the GONG on this moron had the gones of Chuck Barris.
I guess his appearance on Arabia’s Got Talent next week is cancelled. He was going to perform an Honor Killing to George Harrison’s “Something”.
Let the Muslims have him. I think sharia requires beheading for dancing. If not, they will execute him for defaming Islam with that voice. Put a sock in it, big fella!
He couldn’t cut it as a pop star, so he tried to be a celebrity terrorist. Once a famewhore, always a famewhore.
for that wonderful show of ‘moonwalking’ you win a delicious bacon-wrapped filet mignon.
Springtime for Obama er Osama, or whatever.
Where’s William Hung when we need him?
Line of the week.
No wonder the taliban prohibits music.
Canadian Idol has sunk to an incredible low…and this dude probably violated every single dictat according to Sharia Law. Gag….got to the moon walking and had to stop watching.
What the heck is this civilized world coming to?
Even the Canadians are turning into Islamophobes!
Oh Allah, Muslims can not pray peacefully anywhere bu in the Middle East!
that’s the dance he does before sawing off an infidel’s head with a dull scimitar.
Ah, the Afghanixan Hat Dance!
Well done!
Errah, what a nice, well spoken terrorist he is! Strap an IED to his asz and let’s see that moon walk again!
Errah can we Avril Lavigne to cut his head off for murdering her song??!! Ahhhh sweet sweet poetic justice.
I’m not surprised. Moon god worship demands spilling of blood within the house of war. It was Mohammad’s MO.
That is how he got the nickname momo.
Check all Mosques for hate speech, weapons, and C-4.
Actually, I was gonna say,
“He’s da bomb.”
ouch.
