Knowing who and what she is, it is impossible to look into the eyes of Zaynab Khadr and not see the contempt for us staring back.

Those dark, dull eyes, seen through the slit in her black niqab in various media photographs taken over the years, are the only windows into her jihadist-promoting soullessness.

But the hardness is evident.

Despite Zaynab Khadr being Omar Khadr’s oldest sibling, he cannot be allowed to see her alone.

She is too dangerous a contagion.

On Thursday, Canada’s celebrity boy terrorist, now a 30-year-old multi-millionaire courtesy of the Trudeau Liberals, will appear before an Edmonton court to have his bail conditions substantially eased.

He wants unrestricted access to his extremist Ottawa-born sister, despite her well-documented hatred of all western values except, perhaps, Canada’s place as a safe haven, its social welfare programs and its universal health-care system.

He wants more freedom to move about Canada, the country he left with his al-Qaida father as a boy in order to help make the improvised bombs in Afghanistan that would be used as roadside death traps against Canadian, American and allied soldiers.

We all know how he ended up imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay because there is no question that he pleaded guilty to throwing a grenade in a shootout with American forces in Afghanistan that killed a U.S. soldier and partially blinded another (though he later recanted saying his confession had been forced).

Revisionists can change what they want.

And, lastly, Omar Khadr wants unrestricted access to the Internet where, despite its vastness, the brutality and barbarity of al-Qaida, the Taliban and ISIS are just an e-mail click away.

He should be granted none of these liberties.

One would need a GPS to track the movements of the much-married Zaynab Khadr, but she was so popular in terrorist circles that Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri attended her first wedding to a Yemeni gunman named Yacoub al-Bahr. But suffice, she is rarely found in countries where terrorism is a foreign commodity. She was detained briefly in Turkey a year ago because of an expired visa, recently had a fourth child in Egypt, and is today reportedly living in Sudan with her fourth husband after a brief sojourn in Malaysia.

It is her plan, according to court documents obtained by the Canadian Press, to return to Canada in the near future.

She cannot be stopped, of course.

Like her brother, Omar, she is Canadian born.

When Zaynab Khadr returned to Canada from Pakistan in 2005, her brother was already in Guantanamo and her father had already been killed in a 2003 firefight with authorities along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

When she touched down in Toronto, she was met by RCMP with a warrant to search her luggage. They discovered had a laptop filled with al-Qaida videos, information about weaponry, and songs when translated had titles such as I Am A Terrorist, and Strike and Kill The Infidels.

Another brother, Abdullah, also an unpleasant piece of work, said the laptop was his but, in a separate set of luggage sent by Zaynab Khadr from Pakistan to Toronto, customs official found more propaganda, as well as a terrorist training manual.

These are the apples that fall from the Khadr tree.

It is the job of the courts to protect Canadians, as well as to set bail conditions on the convicted that steer them away from potential trouble.

If not for his family tree, and the fruit it has borne, Omar Khadr might have an argument for his bail conditions to be eased.

But it is what it is, and he must live with its consequences.

He is no poster-boy candidate for premature mercies.
