ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - The five young Americans detained in Pakistan as part of a terrorism investigation were wholesome kids who never exhibited any signs of religious extremism, according to the youth director at a mosque where they worshipped.

"I never observed any extreme behavior with them," said Mustafa Abu Maryam, who served as a volunteer youth director at the Islamic Circle of North America's small chapter mosque.

It's in a converted single-family home in a residential neighborhood a few miles south of the Capital Beltway.

Awww, monsters say, "Our kids are just regular kids."

There's only one problem with that, Mr. Monster ... YOU'RE A MONSTER!

Islam - The Catch 22 Religion...

Maybe they're telling the truth, maybe they're lying... Since their unholy books say its OK to lie for the 'cause' (takqiya)- who can possibly know?

From the real Holy Book:

Proverbs 12:22a
Lying lips are abomination to the LORD...

(no if's or but's or exceptions...)

One thing: they should never be allowed to return here.

Too late, I understand they will be returned to the USA for a circus trial. Apparently;y there is no liability too big for our government to take on.

I’ve seen it spelt, tarquiya, also. No matter if it is spelt ABC, it is what it is. Can never be believed by a Christian.

That is not what the Pakis are saying. And what would they be charged with here? From earlier today:

December 11, 2009

SARGODHA, Pakistan (Reuters) - U.S. FBI agents and their Pakistani colleagues interrogated on Friday five young American Muslims who wanted to go to Afghanistan to fight U.S.-led forces, Pakistani officials said...Police in Sargodha had taken the first step toward filing charges with complaints based on laws pertaining to foreigners and the use of computers to organize crime.

"A case has been registered against the five for violating Pakistan's foreigners and cyber acts," Sargodha police chief Usman Anwar told Reuters...

The five men would be dealt with according to Pakistani law, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said.

"They will not be deported," Malik told a news conference.

"We will take action according to our law and once our law enforcement agencies or court clears (their cases), only then will we deport them," he said....

Throw every last one of them out of here. Their religion only brings misery and violence.
