We need to let it slip that he ratted out several top Al Quida people.

If you know what I mean.

No, you don’t understand. Al-Arian will go to the terrortories [sic], and then he will admit that he was doing what he was doing all along. However, don’t expect him to suffer in poverty. He’ll be in one of those million-dollar villas that Arafat and his cronies built with the aid money that was supposed to feed their people.

If he was innocent, he would not have agreed to any kind of plea bargain. You don’t spend five years in jail so you can get the govt. off your back and get on with your life.

This rotten nation is full of jihadophobes and the media has a CLEAR ant-terrorist bias.

Screw this guy, I dont think he has any info, but he has done nothing but raise money.

Hey, if he refuses to talk to the Grand Jury, just put out at statement that he has been helpful to the investigation, then deport him.

How long do you think he would last, especially if we make sure that he goes to Gaza?

OK McCain, please tell us what YOU would do with scum like this guy and his foreign terror buddies.
And if you were to close Gitmo?

I wouldnt torture him, he is not a foreigner. He was arrested on US soil, teaching at a US university.

but Arian pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to “make or receive funds . . . for the benefit of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad”

Sounds pretty open and shut to me.

Terrorist enabler stuck in prison

When I read that headline, I thought the worst candidate in this election, Freddy Thompson, was finally arrested for giving legal advice to Libyan terrorists.

Yeah, lots of people get stuck in prison. I hope his cellmate is named Bubba.

Good. Squeeze him dry, then send him off to HellZoneOne to play patty-cakes with his nasty little terrorist buds.

Think fast, monkey-boy!

It’s funny how a little knowledge of Islam would have cleared all this up in no time. It would make the Holy Land retrial superfluous as well.
Charity money (zakat in Islam) has always been duel purpose funding in Islam. It goes to feed the poor or pay for war (jihad) at the discretion of the cleric or mullah collecting or holding it. So there is no question that this money could go directly to the “terrorists”.

Blackbird is right. Sadly, John McCain has no more intention of telling the truth about Islam than does George W. As long Christians continue to justify Christianity in terms of faith–regardless of the content of that faith–being a good thing, we are going to get lies about Islam from our political leadership. Shouldn’t Christian apologetics tell us why Christinaity is a good idea? I honestly believe that my argument here is a pro-Christianity argument and that Christians have done Christianity a great disservice by refusing to defend Christainity and instead defend “faith communities”.

Yet the justice system wants to create a direct and provable trail ignoring or ignorant of the fact that the money finances “terror” as it is meant to all along.

Of course this would make Islam look like something other than the religion of peace and tolerance that our leaders insist it is and so this simple truth of the use of Islamic “charity” money goes ignored.

Everyone:

I actually interviewed this guy in college, before he was arrested when I was a writer for a local newspaper. He is smooth, educated and very very guilty. I found it hard to write a piece about him, because there was so little on him at the time. But if you have ever looked a hardcore jihadi in the eye, you know that look. He had it in spades. This guy is a true believer and I would not be surprised one bit if he is balls-deep in every cell in the southeast.

I am sure that you will find in the transcript of the change of plea:

Judge: Did you read the plea agreement before you signed it?

Defendant: Yes.

J: Is there anything in the plea agreement that you did not agree to?

D: No.

J: Is there anything that you agreed to that is not in the plea agreement?

D: No.

I had the misfortune to listen to a leftist propaganda show, “Law and Disorder” recently. In the insane parallel universe of “Law and Disorder”, Sami’s lawyer was explaining how Sami is the victim of a government witch hunt and how what is happening to Sami is starting us on the path of losing all our civil liberties. The leftists really do want us all dead.

This will do wonders for Johnathan Turley career as a talking head on the tube.

As for the terrorist. I am confident his future will be a rough one, you know, every dog has his day. And I’m sure Sami the bag man’s day is coming.

Johnathan Turley the pointy-head liberal law professor at GWU? Didn’t get it in writing?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! When is Sami going to sue him? That’ll be an indication that Sami thinks there was an agreement.

“Arian, who taught computer engineering at the University of South Florida …”

But, but I thought *poverty* was the root cause of terrorism???

Sami al-Arian’s fondest wish is to be deported from the United States to the Palestinian territories.

His second fondest wish is to be deported from the United States to some other place. Any other place.
