Free the Terrorist
As usual, LGF digs up the good stuff.
Today, a young Muslim has been charged with conspiring to assassinate President Bush. Allegedly, Ahmed Omar Abu Ali wanted to kill President Bush by shooting him, or like a good Muslim terrorist, by detonating a car bomb.
Abu Ali is presumed innocent until guility because he actually is an American citizen and will be afforded a trial in U.S. District Court (unlike the Gitmo detainees who should not have any rights guaranteed in our Constutition because they are not citizens). As for the guilt or innocence of the Gitmo detainees, well, I think being captured fighting for the now-defunct Taliban in Afghanistan speaks for itself–guilty.
Getting back to Abu Ali, friends of his have started an internet petition with the aim to solict the government for Abu Ali’s release. Here’s some of the comments posted by various signatories (before Lizardoids began commenting):
- I saw this testimony on CSPAN in the middle of the night, 10/16/04. I was horrified and enraged. Bring this young man home now! Then, I hope to see a full investigative report by a major media outlet during prime time. #514
- THEY SAY THAT AMERICA IS A FREE COUNRTY ??? WERES THE FREEDOM ? I HOPE THEY FREE MY BROTHER INSHALLAH ! #588 (needs to learn how to use spell-check).
All 9/11 terrorists were Muslim. Abu Ali alleged terrorist is Muslim. It’s time to start racial profiling of all Muslims who enter the United States. I know that unfairly burdens American Muslims and non-American Muslims who live and visit America with good intentions and see our free land as “Home of the Brave.” But, we need to protect our Nation. The time is now. Seal the border, throughly screen on a pre-entry, entry, and post-entry basis of persons entering our country, and deport criminal violators (e.g., illegal aliens).
If Abu Ali is guilty, I hope he rots for life.
