A former grocery store owner already facing three years in prison for aiding a terrorist group got 14 months tacked onto his sentence Friday for swindling the food stamp program out of $1.4 million.
Hatem Fariz, 33, must serve a total of 51 months in federal prison under the sentence handed down by U.S. District Judge Milton I. Shadur.
Fariz, who now lives in Spring Hill, Fla., also was ordered to repay the money he siphoned off by swapping cash for food stamps.
At the same time, Fariz pleaded guilty in a federal court in Tampa to conspiring to provide financial aid to Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which has been designated by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization.
Fariz received a 37-month sentence on the Florida charge.
Shadur imposed the 51-month sentence, to run concurrent with Fariz's Florida time, saying it was the least he should have gotten if the two cases had been lumped together and placed before one judge for sentencing.

I'd be glad/happy/giddy to execute him and all subhuman pedophile filth, at no cost to US Taxpayers, m.
Dead = Zero Recividism. Society's innocents - our children and the elderly - must be protected from these 'untermensch', at all costs. If liberal-demokkkRAT trash get in the way, they go down, too. Whoops...
He should be stoned to death by food stamp recipients.

"I will serve my time quietly and productively....," Fariz said.
I bet he will! Who knows what's going on inside the prison system...
He should have gotten 20 years just for the food stamp fraud and then double that for the helping-terrorists charge. Of course he may be the first person to ever go to jail for food stamp fraud.
> He was co-defendent with Sami Al-Arian and made a deal. I hope he gave us some good info, because his sentences are entirely too light.
So at $1.4 Million worth of fraud and a sentence of 14 months, that translates to a net income of $100K *per month* whilst being gainfully employed at evildoing.
Helluvadeal! He's laughing all the way to the bank...
