NEW YORK — Jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday in the trial of a disabled Egyptian Islamic preacher extradited from Great Britain on charges he conspired to support al-Qaida, in part by trying to create a training camp in Oregon 15 years ago. The trial of Mustafa Kamel Mustafa occurs a month after a Manhattan jury convicted Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, Osama bin Laden's son-in-law and al-Qaida's spokesman after the 2001 attacks, of charges that will likely result in a life sentence. The 55-year-old Mustafa has alerted his lawyers and U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest that he will testify on his own behalf. At a pretrial hearing last week, he told the judge: "I think I am innocent. I need to go through it, have a chance to defend myself."

Will Obunghole pardon him if he's found guilty?

Well, here’s a picture. We’re trying a man for supporting al queda, but we’re supplying arms and training to AQ cannibals in the Syrian conflict.

They must laugh at us on the other side of the globe.

This is the one and only "Hook Hand"! It took decades for Britain to pry off this murder-preaching parasite. Even so, he leaves behind hundreds of parasitical offspring and relatives.

Notice the use of the word “preacher”. He’s not a preacher, he’s an imam. The word preacher is a Christian term. This writer wants you to mentally think of this terrorist as somehow being persecuted for spreading the gospel.

Nothing could be further from the truth.
