Good men don't fund homicide bombers.

They listed the signs of the pro-al-Arian group but didn't bother to tell us what the sign of the lone anti-terrorist protester said.

I'm crucified today because of who I am, a stateless Palestinian...

A stateless Palestinian? How did that happen. Funny, I thought he was born in Kuwait.

[Captainpaintball]

If 'Hysteria' is locking up, deporting, and "taking care of" America-hating, baby-killing, and freedom-thwarting TERRORISTS, than count me in as one of those 'hysterical' forces of 'exclusion' and 'intolerance'.

[piasa]

I think he "lost" his passport in order to prevent the INS from deporting him all these years, in the idea that if the INS had no country to deport him to, the US would be stuck with him.

I would say that if we don't want someone like him who claims to be "stateless", and no other country will take a person, then we should be able to fly them out to sea and drop them from 40,000 feet over international waters. If any country cares to object to the practice, let's make THEM take these dirtballs.

Thanks for the heads up!

Oh dear!

[Stopislamnow]

Since he is a terrorist, I say ship his arab a$$ to Guantanamo and try him under Military Tribunal.

Refill your resolve with this well done slideshow.

I hope a lot of left-wingers rally around al-Arian, so they can all be shamed when it's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he's guilty.

Hey, I like the way you think.

Enough talking. Shoot the SOB!!

A few facts about al-Arian that haven't been widely reported:

al-Arian used his family and students to help him
in his terrorist fund-raising activities.

Wiretaps of al-Arian began in 1989.
The first FBI interview with al-Arian took place in 1990.
(This interview is in the court records.)
al-Arian's main activity was to funnel money
from the Saudi Government to Palestinian terrorists
(evidence of this exists in IRS 990 forms filed by the Saudis).
The Saudis were funding speaking engagements for al-Arian
all across the USA.
He was raising money for every congressman
who was hostile to Israel
(Bonior, for example).

INS is trying to get all Saudi witnesses out of the country by deporting them.

One of the chief defendants, Bashir Nafi,
was actually employed by the headquarters
of one of the Saudi terrorist charities in Virginia.
They waited until he left work before they arrested him
in order not to embarrass the Saudis.

The man who received the Saudi checks from Bashir Nafi
al-Najar, listed as an unindicted co-conspirator #12.
The reason he is un-indicted is that the INS
for the last 6 months
has been trying to find a country to which he can be deported.
When the Gulf states turned them down
they flew him on a government plane to Lebanon.

One wing of justice has been trying to get rid of witnesses
while another wing has been trying to prosecute al-Arian.

The terrorists aided by al-Arian are responsible
for the deaths of more than 100 people
including 2 Americans.

John Ashcroft deleted ALL references to the Saudis in his indictment.

[Sabertooth]

Is the genocidist gonna cry?

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL, it looks that way.

Interesting. Source?

"I'm crucified today because of who I am, a stateless Palestinian, an Arab and Muslim, an outspoken advocate for Palestinian rights," wrote the tenured computer engineering professor wrote, who has long denied ties to terrorists. "I'm a prisoner because of the hysteria engulfing this country in the aftermath of the 9-11 tragedy, and because there are very powerful political groups which are thirsty for my blood. I'm not the enemy, but the forces of exclusion and intolerance are."

The Pity Party begins. Never leave out a "victim" buzzword when one can be included in your press release.

[AFPhys]

They can have the dirtballs if they can find them after we drop 'em. ... say, about 100 miles out.

[Alouette]

who I am, a stateless Palestinian, an Arab and Muslim, an outspoken advocate for Palestinian rights

"Palestinian rights"=the "right" to blow up toddlers at a pizza parlor birthday party, the "right" to blow up elderly people at a Passover seder.

Speaking of rights, doesn't this bozo know that he has the right to remain silent?
