US Misunderstanders of Islam get 10 years in Pakistani prison for jihad seeking
Pakistani authorities and experienced players of the double game keep up appearances for the gullible West. "US 'jihad seekers' awarded 10 years imprisonment by Pak court," from ANI, June 24 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Islamabad, June 24 (ANI): A Pakistani anti-terrorism court on Thursday awarded 10 years imprisonment to each of the five US terror suspects who were arrested from Punjab province's Sargodha District in December 2009.
Waqar Husain Khan, 22 (Virginia), Ahmed Abdullah Mani, 20 (Virginia), Ramay S Zamzam, 22 (Egypt), Iman Hasan Yamar, 17 (California), and Omar Farouk, 24 (Virginia) were arrested on charges of plotting terror attacks across Pakistan, The News reports.

The five 'jihad seekers' had visited a religious seminary linked to the outlawed Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) in Hyderabad and were on their way to terror camps based in the volatile Waziristan region....

A religious seminary? Full of Misunderstanders of Islam? Why, it's...inexplicable, if you buy into the mainstream view of Islamic terrorism's relationship to Islam.

The jihad seekers had pleaded innocence, saying they were being 'set up' and tortured by the FBI and the Pakistani police in custody. (ANI)
Al-Qaeda advises its operatives always to claim torture when in non-Muslim custody.

These people were, however, identified, in a story in The New York Times, as "Muslim-Americans." It was understood, then, by the writers of the story, that the important thing in their identity was not that two were from Pakistan, and one from Yemen, and two from Ethiopia, but that they were all Muslims, that Islam was their identity, Islam was what explained their behavior.

And if the government of Pakistan prosecuted them, it did so both because it knew the Americans were looking, and because those who run Pakistan -- the generals and zamindars -- don't like the threat by the Taliban and others like-minded of undoing the social and, above all, economic order in Pakistan, which threatens the ruling class.

Had these five "Muslim-Americans" (better: Muslims, for they had no American loyalty or identity worth speaking of) not threatened the interests of the Pakistani ruling class, but only constituted a threat to American soldiers or other Infidels, then they would probably never have been caught, charged, tried, sentenced.

If they were "set up", it was by Islam, not the FBI. And if they were tortured, it was by the will of Allah -- oh most merciful. They don't even understand their own religion.

But let's be clear that our gubmint will silently look the other way when these Jihad war terrorists "escape" from whatever prison to which they're consigned.

Allah and His Messenger promised us nothing but delusion; they have promised only to deceive us.

Btw, ain't been watching the news much lately. Has Moammar found out where that TWA mass murderer bomber dude Gordo Brown turned loose is living?

He's living with Nicole and Ron's real killer, and Natalie's real killer. They took a house by the sea together.

'Awarded'?

Is it asking too much for our government to deny them reentry? Are we supposed to believe they were there to attack Pakistan and weren't there for training to carry out attacks at home?
If we didn't let them come here we wouldn't have to fight them here and we wouldn't have to fight them over there either.

"Awarded"? It might sound ludicrous to us but we don't willingly strap on suicide vests, either. "Awarded" actually sounds right for them.
