It isn’t being reported, but David Kolinsky, lawyer for Canadian terror suspect Zakaria Amara, is a convert to Islam: Imprint: March 10, 2006. (Hat tip: WriterMom.)

On Wednesday night, David Kolinsky-a law firm member from Toronto-led a presentation entitled “In the Steps of Abraham: An Introduction to Islam.” Kolinsky focused on three concepts in Islam that he felt needed clarifying: God, the Qur’an, and Muhammad, as well as speaking about Islam’s position as it stands with Christianity and Judaism. “We all see ourselves as worshipping the same God as Christians and Jews do.” He also fielded questions about his experiences as a convert to Islam from a Canadian perspective.

The techniques being used by the accused jihadis and their Muslim lawyers (play the torture card, get names of all security officers and charge them with abuse, etc.) are straight out of the Al Qaeda training manual.
