Snips: There are many more defenses I could cite, but it would be tedious and prolix to reduce them to lay understanding. But let's move on to what we in the lawyering business call the "Discovery Process." Every Defendant has the right, and the government must provide to the defendant, a copy of all documents, recordings, interviews, criminal histories, Photographs, police reports, federal agency reports, files at Guantanamo and a sundry of other sensitive material the government intends to use in the prosecution.
In addition to the exposing of ultra-sensitive government material, this trial could, and probably will, encourage other Mohammed copy cats, like, say Major Hasan, the murdering M.D. at Fort Hood, Texas. You might see all sorts of hopped-up Arabs running around your local shopping mall with AK47s blazing, comforted by the fact that they will be protected not only by Allah, but by our Constitution. And if all else fails, they will still, as a not-too-shabby consolation prize, have the virgins waiting for them in the Mecca land, hereafter.
As an afterthought, I have learned from a reliable source (highly connected in the BO administration), that Mohammed has asked for and has been granted the services (prior to trial) of a government-paid barber and a hair wax removal kit. I questioned my source about this extravagance. He replied, "It’s the image, stupid."
DuPage County - Foes of Islamic center wonder if it's linked to Avila Foundation
Snips: After citing concerns over parking and late-night services, residents near Naperville are offering DuPage County officials a new reason to reject a proposed Islamic center in their neighborhood: a financial connection to a foundation suspected of aiding Iran's nuclear weapons program.
The proposed Irshad Learning Center, which would be on 75th Street between Wehrli Road and Naper Boulevard in unincorporated Naperville, received a $300,000 mortgage last year from the Alavi Foundation, according to documents filed with the DuPage County recorder's office.
Federal authorities this month moved to seize an array of U.S.-based properties, bank accounts and religious sites connected to the Alavi Foundation, which they allege has been funneling money to an Iranian bank owned by the Iranian government and being used to help build its weapons program.
"Where did this money come from? Did Irshad Learning Center get money through the Iranian government?" he said. "I think those are fair questions."
American convert to Islam endorses death penalty for apostasy
Snip: Umar Lee to Spencer:
Im not that up on that case. What i do know is we live in a very imoral society and teens are bombarded with negative messages. Any teen girl who is not a serial fornicator is seen as square and if she has good muslim parents making sure she is not acting like a ho she may rebel. I am not a scholar but the ruling on apostacy is clear. In an ideal world the apostate would face death but there is no authority to implement the shariah in america so no she shouldnt be killed and besides this girl may very well be making the whole thing up.
