A man found guilty in the Toronto 18 case says terrorism is "BS."

Shareef Abdelhaleem, 34, took the stand at his trial in Brampton, Ont., on Wednesday and testified that he has always denounced terrorism.

Abdelhaleem was found guilty last week of participating in a terrorist group and intending to cause an explosion, but the defence is arguing that he was entrapped into taking part in the plot to blow up Toronto landmark buildings.

His lawyer asked him to define terrorism and Abdelhaleem said there are no rules and civilians get killed, which he said "is all BS."

Abdelhaleem also testified he was a "little behind" on his taxes because he "didn't like paying them," but the last year he filed them the software developer made $357,000.

His lawyer asked what he spent his money on and Abdelhaleem replied: "trips, clothes ... drinking, drugs [and] women."
