Train terror plotter wants Quran cited in defence "I don't want a book written by humans"

A man charged in an alleged plot to attack a Via Rail passenger train says he wants to be represented by a lawyer who agrees the Qur'an should be used as a "reference" in his case.
Chiheb Esseghaier appeared in a Toronto court by video link from jail Thursday morning and said he has made an application for representation by legal aid, but is seeking a lawyer who can co-operate with his need to use the Muslim religious text in his defence.

"But I wish this lawyer can co-operate with me, because I need the holy book as reference for my judgment. I don't want a book written by humans," he said.

He told court during an earlier appearance he does not recognize the authority of the secular Criminal Code.

How fucking gracious of him to deign to take advantage of free legal services.
But if one really insists on being judged by a deity, one might remind him he's living under the rule of Canada and Queen Elizabeth II, even if only nominally.
As far as his ass is concerned, they are God. Like the murderer of George Tiller, what you do to your fellow humans is not in God's hands, as you left Heaven to be with us lowly ones, huh?
Reality bites. Hard.
