Prison Chaplain Calls bin Laden a 'Muslim Hero'
A prison chaplain in upstate New York's Albion Correctional Facility has been put on paid administrative leave after telling inmates that Osama bin Laden should be "a hero to all Muslims."
"This afternoon, we put on administrative leave Chaplain Aminah Akbar, who is a Muslim chaplain, pending an investigation into her conduct," said James Flateau, spokesman for the state Department of Correctional Services, in an interview with the Buffalo News on Thursday.
Akbar spoke to a group of about 120 inmates and a half-dozen corrections officers at the prison Saturday during an event billed as "American Solidarity Day," the paper said.
Officers who took notes during her speech said Akbar told the group:
"Bin Laden is a warrior for Allah, as all Muslims should be. Bin Laden is a hero to all Muslims. The Taliban are right in not letting the U.S. take bin Laden. The U.S. has no proof that he destroyed the World Trade Center."
Inmates as well as corrections officer were offended by her remarks, with many of the guards filing written complaints, the News said.
Other remarks attributed to Akbar included complaints about slavery.
"We have been beaten and harassed for over 500 years, and we should not take it anymore," she reportedly told the group, adding, "I am not an American, I just live here."
"The United States is a giant country," Chaplain Akbar continued. "Why are they bombing a country the size of a pea?"
Akbar's praise for bin Laden echoes that of New Black Panther Party spokesman Malik Shabazz, who told the National Press Club over the weekend that the U.S. was scapegoating the Mideast terrorist.
"Blame President Bush" for the Sept. 11 attacks, Shabazz insisted.

Let's just go back in time to the WW2 years when Nazi chaplains were allowed in US penal instututions to preach "Hitler is a hero".
What? Didn't happen?
Then why is this subversion happening now when we're at war again?
Oh, and by the way, a WOMAN Muslim "chaplain"? Wonder if she's one of Calypso Louie's recruiters?

Islam is a filthy, vile, vicious, cancerous, political manifesto of terrorism masquerading as religion, with its tenets clearly written in the blood of its victims. It is political cancer metastasizing into an anti-western genocidal cult. Its adherents are the most simpleminded of nationals cheering the murder of innocent civilians. Islam, like its communist neighbor, is attempting to destroy all western thought in favor of intolerance, mass murder and mass conformity. Islam is a direct attack on the individualism and freedom of thought that helped create the western world. If Islam is permitted its cancerous spread, the world will enter another dark age of bigotry, intolerance, and the genocidal rage of madmen masquerading as religious leaders.
If Israel is any test case, Islam has proven its political ideology is one of hate, intolerance and genocidal rage. Virtually every Islamic nation is ruled with an iron fist because their Islamic populations behave like rabid dogs. Islam has proven itself incompatible with civilized western values, and should be treated as a political manifesto of terrorism.
Spare me the body count of other religions: I haven't seen Catholics, Protestants, Jews, or any other religion take such pleasure in murdering innocents in my lifetime. The past is the past, and Islam's murderous ideology seems to currently command somewhat of a popular monopoly in the "Joy of Killing" westerners, and, being a westerner, I'm quite prepared to return the favor a thousand fold.
For westerners, the destruction of Islam is a matter of survival. Unfortunately, too many religious individuals have been fooled into granting Islam that which it does not deserve: survival. I've seen images of the followers of Islam jumping, clapping, and cheering in a euphoric murderous orgy of twisted joy when some of Islam's storm troopers killed 3,000 Americans on 9/11. I clearly see Islam for the political manifesto of terrorism that it is, and that its followers are as deserving of the fate that their terrorists so willingly bestow upon others. Islam has earned its place in history with the bombing of the world trade center, now we just need to secure its final resting place in the trash bin of history.

I'd like to know how this was resolved and if she was able to keep her job. She was only placed on Administrative paid leave when this story originally broke. I'm wondering if there was any other disciplinary action taken. My guess is no since I work in the same prison system.
