US officials are actually debating whether to file charges against the five Muslim DC students, Americans who were arrested in Pakistan for planning jihad. See also here."They are proudly saying they are here for jihad" or holy war, Anwar said.
One of the jihadis left behind a "farewell" video and Nihad Awad, national head of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which approached the FBI on behalf of the families, said: "The government has to show some appreciation for the actions of the parents and the community".
What about the father of one of the five that joined the them in their jihad? And what is the Muslim community doing to expunge the koran of these violent texts prescribing such violence?
No, instead they insist we willingly go to the gallows.
How can we be having this discussion? How can this be? How could such consideration be made? CAIR should be nailed for their support of jihad here and abroad. But once your premise if false, once your thinking is irrational, everything that stems from it will be ...insane. And so we have it - the era of insanity.
Can you imagine if we applied this to the Nazis? Go lenient on the Nazis or ......... they'll build more ovens.
CAIR is a jihadist organization. Of course they will front for the global jihad. I expect this from terrorists. But what of us? Where is our will? How can we allow this imposition of sharia law without so much as a cry out for liberty, freedom, for America, for our children?
FBI walks tightrope in outreach to Muslims Washington Post (hat tip scoop)Probe into 5 Americans held in Pakistan could undermine relationships "As U.S. officials consider whether to file criminal charges against the men and how aggressively to prosecute any potential case, some Muslim leaders are calling for leniency, saying the tough approach often used by the Bush administration would alienate a community whose relationship with law enforcement is uneasy. "Charging them and throwing them in jail is not the solution," said Nihad Awad, national head of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which approached the FBI on behalf of the families. "The government has to show some appreciation for the actions of the parents and the community. That will encourage other families to come forward."
