PARIS - Zacarias Moussaoui's mother said Thursday a life sentence for her son was more cruel than putting him to death because now he will "live like a rat in a hole."
Aicha El Wafi, who returned to France earlier this week, said the trial was a masquerade that did not prove her son's guilt, and she accused the French government of not fighting hard enough for him, saying it did not want to oppose the United States.
El Wafi, dressed in black, was emotional and nervous as she spoke with reporters a day after the jury in Alexandria, Va., decided to send him to prison for life without a chance of parole, and she repeated over and over, "This is terrible."
"I share the suffering and the pain of the parents of the victims. I'm with them," she said.
"I feel like a part of myself is dead, buried with my son, who is going to be buried all of his life at 37 years old for things that he didn't do. Because he spoke too much," El Wafi said.
She called her son a scapegoat, adding that the life sentence imposed for his role in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks was worse than the death penalty.
"Now he is going to die in little doses," she said. "He is going to live like a rat in a hole. What for? They are so cruel, they were wrong to want his head. They should have gone all the way to the end if they were capable."
"My son will be buried alive because France didn't dare contradict the Americans," El Wafi said.
"I don't share the ideas and the words of my son in the court," she said, but added that it was "because of his words, his color, his race, that he was sentenced to life."
El Wafi's lawyer, Patrick Baudouin, expressed relief that the jury did not decide on the death penalty, and vowed a legal battle to bring Moussaoui home.
"They wanted to make the little soldier Moussaoui into a perpetrator of the Sept. 11 attacks," Baudouin said. "He had no blood on his hands."
French authorities said they may ask the United States to let Moussaoui serve his life sentence in a France prison.
France and the United States are linked by two conventions on transferring convicts, and "an eventual request for transferring Mr. Zacarias Moussaoui would be studied in this framework," Foreign Ministry spokesman Jean-Baptiste Mattei said.
Moussaoui, a Frenchman of Moroccan descent, was the only person charged in the United States in those attacks. A jury decided not to impose the death penalty.
After the sentencing, Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy said: "I asked my services and our embassy in Washington, who offered their consular protection and who followed day to day the unfolding of the process, to continue to remain very attentive to the situation of Zacarias Moussaoui."
He did not comment on the verdict itself, but said: "The French authorities have had the occasion, several times, to restate their constant opposition to capital punishment."
A ministry spokesman said no decision on transferring Moussaoui would be made until U.S. authorities "define the conditions of his sentence."
France, which abolished capital punishment in 1981, had demanded that none of the information it provided for the U.S. case against Moussaoui be used to seek execution.
Since the West does not understand the Islamic mind any softball judgements we throw at this Islamic dork like imprisonment is viewed by them as a victory.
If we took the Mooseman and publicly had him executed by firing squad and buried with a pig it would make the Mooseslimes re-think their acts.
The only thing that this culture respects is force. If you don't have them on the business end of a sword or gun they will just spit on you and laugh.
And this thug is laughing, and laughing, and laughing at how soft we are. He is right that he won because we allowed him to live which allows him to continue on with the struggle to bring Allah's will to America and all over the world by default.
Will he show contempt in various ways to his jailers like the Mooseslimes at Guantanamo? Every chance he gets!
When those that are bullied don't fight back all the bully will do is laugh and continue his bullying.
By not executing Mooseman we have emboldened the will of the bullies/Mooseslimes to contiue jihad in America.
Only after a nuke or seven goes off in America will Americans get viscious and teach these punks respect by slaughtering them enmasse.
Islam will win. Why? Because they only are focused on the goal. What is the goal? To spread the will of Allah to every corner of the globe with Sharia. Anything and everything is justified to make that goal happen no matter how long it takes.
The West? We live for today only and for ourselves.
Whereas Judaism teaches ethical monotheism Islam teaches unethical monotheism with a balance of judgement and mercy.
The two children of Judaism are Christianity and Islam. Christianity focuses on mercy side of Judaism to the point of pacifism while Islam focuses on judgement aspect.
Allah Hu Snackbar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT makes sense. Now she has to wait and will probably be dead before she can collect. No wonder she is so upset.
Correction:
Whereas Judaism teaches ethical monotheism (with a balance of judgement and mercy)Islam teaches unethical monotheism focused solely on judgment.
There was a multi-cell cartoon I saw several years ago. In it were the last Jew and the last Arab on the Earth.
The Jew (dressed in IDF garb carrying a rifle) asks the Arab (dressed in traditional Arab clothing including kafiyeh) to make peace since they were the last Jew and Arab on the planet.
The Arab says "ok." Then they shake hands and BOOM! an explosion happens killing both.
Guess who won?
Satan?
Better than a rat in a hole. He will be fed, clothed and provided comfort and shelter. Rats need to forage to get all those things.
Sir,
If mindless lunatics like Hamza and Al-Sadr get the title of "Islamic Scholar," then anyone can be an "Islamic Scholar."
This includes average Joes like you and me.

You need to be a mindless lunatic.
This is just the first of many fretful articles that highlight poor MOOS-owie's plight.
Michael Moore and Sean Penn will be along soon to say probation would have been suficient.

GOOD!
You are right.
I need to work on my ratty beard and water spitting capabilities first.
That's a good one! I wonder how long it would be before the sensitive, tolerant, multi-cultural French would pardon MOO-SOW-WEE.
Nope, his sentence is permanent supermax, 23 hours a day isolation, 1 hour of exercise by himself. There is no "general" population or visitors for him to mix with. Now that is not to say that some future rat-party judge or president couldn't commute or change that sentence to allow him into a general population or even pardon him, but the idea is to turn him into a drooling demented mess through isolation. Rather see him wrapped in pigskin and hanged publicly, but that isn't going to happen now so this is the next best thing.
They should tell El Wafi that if she is soo sad, why doesnt she go to prison with her son. And another thing. In the article El wafi said that it was because of what Zacarias Moussai said. Dang right! If someone said he bombed the world trade centers in 1993 and we didn't catch him, or said that he actively supported terrorism, wouldn't you try him???
Allah demands blood sacrifice. Islamofascist; Radical Islam is an insane death cult, and "moderate" Islam is it's Trojan Horse in the

Islam is not a religion; it embodies no concept of spirituality. Islam is a political system. The 'peace of allah' is the peace of ultimate submission, never having to question, never having to decide, just to do as you are told; the peace of the hive, a queen named allah and her many drone workers. Islam is a system of coercion. Islam IS a terrorist support network |
Then let those moms wishes be granted. We could have a blow ur son up service. We take all the martyrs to a little field, all by their sleves, and their mom's wishes are fulfilled
