this is the kind of evil we're up against:

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Jurors Tuesday saw a dramatic video of former professor Sami Al-Arian saying God “commands us to jihad, because there is honor” in holy war.

The video introduced by prosecutors also shows Al-Arian asking for donations, exhorting the crowd to give money “so that we will confront our enemies united.”

In the video, filmed at an April 7, 1991 conference in Cleveland, the-then University of South Florida professor is introduced as the president of the Islamic Committee for Palestine (ICP), which is then described as “the active arm of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine.”

The video shows Al-Arian saying: “God, praise and glory be to Him, commands us to fight and commands us to jihad, because there is honor in it and because there is victory for Islam and victory for right over tyranny.”

“Despite all difficulties, the Palestinian people have decided to continue: to continue to confront, to continue to resist, to continue to endure, to set an example for all people and Muslims around them,” Al-Arian tells the meeting.

“Thus is the way of struggle. Thus is the way of giving. Thus is the way of sacrifice. Thus is the way of battle. Thus is the way of jihad. Thus is the way of martyrdom. Thus is the way of blood, because this is the path to heaven.”

He warns his listeners against taking as friends Christians or Jews. The jury sat, seemingly spellbound, for 40 minutes as the video played.

Sami Al-Arian needs to be either deported or settled down in a cozy cell with GWB monogrammed slippers because our jurors command it! Hopefully the judge and jury will apply common sense to dealing with this traitorous jihadi.

Thanks for the update on the Sami trial. The MSM sure isn't covering it (surprise, surprise).
