Feds Request Leniency For Terrorist Who Still Backs Killing Of Americans
ABC News ^ | March 8, 2011 | RICHARD ESPOSITO

The U.S. government formally requested the early release of a convicted terrorist from federal prison, even though the terrorist admitted that he continued to support the killing of U.S. soldiers serving in Muslim countries.

Mohammed Babar, born and raised in New York City, was arrested in 2004 and pled guilty to four counts of providing material support to al Qaeda and one count of providing funds to Al Qaeda. After Babar had served four years and eight months, he was released on bail in late 2008.

In late 2010, the government filed a sealed request for leniency for Babar because of his "extraordinary cooperation" in terror investigations, asking for an "appropriate reduction" in his sentence even though federal sentencing guidelines indicate a sentence of 30 to 70 years in prison. The letter, now unsealed, notes that he was critical in securing conviction in four cases in three countries.

After the request, a judge sentenced Babar to 10 years of supervised release and a court fee of $500.

"According to Babar," says the request for leniency, dated Nov. 23, 2010, "he still supports today the killing of American military service members on battlefields in Muslim countries. Babar has advised that he also supports the killing of Americans (both military and civilian) in Muslim countries 'occupied' by the United States."

Babar joined a fundamentalist Muslim group called al-Muhajiroun while a student at the State University of New York-Stonybrook in 2000. Nine days after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, Babar moved to Pakistan "to provide support to the Afghan jihad," according to the leniency request.

In November, a British television report described him as a "Taliban New Yorker" who helped U.K. citizens travel to Pakistan and then to Afghanistan to fight for the Taliban.

God help the white Christian man who once owned a rifle 1/8” too short in overall length, though, even though he never hurt another person in his life. That’s a whole different breed of terrorist - according to the AG.

You can expect Obama to pardon a whole lot of these folks just before he vacates the White House in 2013.

Now that I think of it, he may well issue mass pardons Wednesday morning, 7-Nov-2012. He’ll want to show us how he feels about the election results.

If the Muslims get to Pete King they’ll claim self-defense because he’s committed a hate crime against them by calling for an investigation into their activities.
