Every word of your post is logical, and worthy of receiving answers. Here's a bit of info about his attorney:
Indian-American Bharara to lead prosecution of Faisal Shahzad
"As a naturalised American citizen from India, Mr Bharara also brings a diversity of background to the post," the New York Times said after the US Senate confirmed him as the United States attorney in Manhattan.
His father, a Sikh, and his mother, who was Hindu, were born in what is now Pakistan, before the partition.
His wife's father, a Muslim, had moved from the Indian side to Pakistan during partition.
Is a radical Islamic movement spreading throughout America?
The National Ummah – a Muslim movement that seeks to transform American cities into sovereign Islamic states – has gained a foothold in metropolitan areas throughout the country. Few groups are more radical, subversive, and dangerous.
The movement is led by Jamil al-Amin, (H. Rap Brown) from his cell in a maximum security prison on the outskirts of Florence, Colorado, where he is serving a life sentence for killing two police officers.
Some of the Ummah mosques maintain armed militias. Others provide training in marital arts and guerilla warfare. Almost all operate beneath the radar of local, state, and federal law enforcement officials.
Counter terror efforts fail again - Faisal Shahzad could have killed hundreds
Snip: There are literally thousands of people like Shahzad here in this country. Thousands. Luckily, most of them lack the will to actually carry through with their fantasies. Way too many for law enforcement and intelligence to keep tabs on.
So that forces them to make choices: who is really dangerous and who isn't? Sometimes they get it wrong. Case in point: Nidal Hasan and Fort Hood.
We are at war. The war is not against terrorism. The war is against violent Islamism -- political Islam. And any Muslim who adheres to this philosophy is an enemy of liberty and of the United States.
US faces new terror threats, tactics out of Pakistan
Snips: The United States faces a new threat from Pakistani extremists allied with Al-Qaeda, who appear ready to wage global war with smaller-scale attacks, experts said.
In a video this week, Mehsud warns "the time is very near when our fedayeen will attack the American states in the major cities."
"So what we have here for the new model are less complicated attacks, frankly attacks that can probably be less severe, with a lower probability of success," Hayden said.
"But here is the scary part -- probably a lot more numerous."

Is a radical Islamic movement spreading throughout America?
Several months ago, I did a long biographical post of him (with timeline) at the post below, but searching internally on FR, I can’t find much on the growing reach of his National Ummah movement. This article would make a good thread of its own to bring to attention of Freepers.
