Wife says husband isn't a terrorist
WAVY ^

BALTIMORE The wife of a Virginia man detained by federal authorities after she was seen videotaping the Bay Bridge in Maryland says her husband isn't a terrorist.

Boushra Elbarasse tells W-N-U-V-T-V of Baltimore that she was videotaping the bridge as part of her family's vacation. She says -- quote -- "They mistreat us. We're just a normal family."

Ismail Elbarasse isn't charged with a crime. He's being held as a material witness in a Chicago racketeering case involving members of the militant group Hamas. He's expected to ask to be released, but federal prosecutors will seek to keep him in custody.

A detention hearing is set for tomorrow in Baltimore for the Annandale man.

Boushra says her husband, who is a U-S citizen, is -- quote -- "a very peaceful man."

She says her husband will be O-K because -- quote -- "he did nothing."

Of course he's not a terrorists, because to Mhammedans, terrorists aren't terrorists.

When they say "peace" they mean "Accept Islam."

Note to Boushra: If a bridge is that special, there's usually a postcard of it. Buy the postcard.

When muslims say "peace," they mean the peace of the grave.

Like the "good indian" cliche of a hundred years ago...

Well, glad the wife cleared the matter up. Clearly, the man should be released and given his camera back.

(/sarcasm)

Well, duh. First thing I thought of too. Now, if she was asked if he is a freedom fighter, I wonder what her answer would be?

She's right - they are normal Muslims. In other words, they are equally dedicated to seeing the rest of us dead and our houses of worship replaced with mosques.

Sooo- This is a woman who has an education and is self supporting if her man goes to prison? NOT. She is an automon who only knows to keep spounting this drivel because she is totally dependent on him. Combined with the usual mantra of "My boy is a good boy. He neber do anythin wrong. He loves his mama", ETC ETC. BARF.

Not unless she were divorcing him :-)

Therefore. . .
J F'n K, look out for Ter-eZ-ah after the election.
