THE TASTE OF FREEDOM EX-GITMO GUYS EYE EATERY BIZ (Sunny Bermuda welcomes Uighur terrorists)
New York Post ^ | 6/13/2009 | Selim Algar

Four Muslim Chinese Uighurs who spent more than seven years in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp plan to open a restaurant serving their native cuisine in breezy Bermuda, where the United States deposited them this week, The Post has learned.

The men said they were ecstatic to be restarting their lives and expressed deep gratitude to Bermuda for taking them in after the United States determined they were not "enemy combatants" -- even as the relocation set off diplomatic fury among allies.

Café Kashkar in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn is a local Uighur spot and could show the budding restaurateurs a thing or two in the kitchen.

"It's very tasty. I feel like I'm at home here," said Uzbekistan native Marina Radchenko, 22, while chowing down on lamb kebabs and noodles.

After all of the commotion from their new fame, the freed Uighurs stayed in their new beachside digs yesterday and cooked themselves lunch.

"We are delighted to be on this beautiful island," one of the ex-detainees, Salahidin Abdulahat, told The Post.

"It feels great to be free after so many years of being held, even when we were innocent. We're looking forward to a great friendship with our new countrymen."

They spent their first day taking in a soccer game and watching fish swim.

The newly freed Uighurs already are laying plans for their future.

Alim Seytoff, general secretary of the Uighur American Association, said the men called Washington, DC-based Uighur activist Rebiya Kadeer on their first night of freedom and told her of their eatery idea.

"They were talking like opening a restaurant," Seytoff said. "Pretty much all Uighurs know how to cook."

Get a load of this... and you wonder if it isn't worth being a terorrist ( even as a trainee in the Bib Ladin camp ) ....

The Bermuda government put the men up in a $182-a-night beachside resort called Clear View Suites & Villas. They'll also get help finding jobs under a guest-worker program. The United States is paying for the relocation.
The feds didn't want to send the men to China for fear of persecution, and other nations refused to take them.

This is how Hussein celebrates 9/11, by using whitey’s tax dollars to relocate terrorists.

Wait a minute...if they were "innocent" why were they at Guantamano in the first place? How were they caught? Who were they with? Lots of unanswered questions here!

Have the authorities in Bermuda put up any signs on the beach yet warning women that they put on a swim suit and go into the ocean at the risk of death by stoning?

not to mention the slap in the face to our best ally the UK .

They are flown in and dumped off with out even letting the UK Govt know what was going on.

I swear bozo is doing all he can to slap our allies in the face as much as possible while bending or should IO say bowing to those who hate us.

I'm going to bite my lip and refrain from profanities about this.

Glad you're paying for this and not us, or I'd definitely be voicing my opinion.

I knew I should have listened to my mom and become a terrorist.

More proof that Barack H Obama hates this country and has nothing but disdain for the hard-working Americans who pay taxes. This is beyond disgusting folks.....I’m at a loss......
