Another Disgruntled Veteran found guilty of Terrorism

Whups, did I say Disgruntled Veteran?  I meant Student of undetermined religious background…

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) — A federal judge found former Georgia Tech student Syed Haris Ahmed guilty Wednesday of conspiring to provide material support to terrorism in the United States and abroad.

The Pentagon was one of the sites videotaped by Syed Haris Ahmed, the FBI says.

Ahmed, 24, could face 15 years in prison. Sentencing has been deferred until after the August 3 trial of Ahmed’s alleged co-conspirator, Ehsanul Islam Sadequee, who is expected to face the same charges.

Actually, it looks like his religion may be known as well.

Ahmed, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Pakistan, waived his right to a jury trial so he could deliver his own closing argument Thursday.

He talked about his Muslim faith instead of addressing the evidence against him.

“I just want to convey the message of God,” Ahmed said.

He cited verses and prayers from the Quran and spent a great deal of time comparing his religion to the Christian faith, noting that both worship the same God….

Martin had called just two witnesses: Ahmed’s older sister and his father. Both testified that Ahmed was searching for his Muslim identity.

I took a Facebook thing the other day that said my Spirit Guide was a Bear. I didn’t start eating honey pots and hanging out with a donkey named Eeyore. If you search for your identity, and it is “crazy bomb building lunatic” maybe you should just walk away.

Not a sermon, just a thought.

So for Director Napolitano, if you’re keeping score at home…

Once again, the Federal Government of these United States has seen fit to treat as a criminal matter another incident in the religious war of extermination and conquest by Islam against Western Civilization.

Every one of these cases should be tried by a Courts-Martial, as they are acts of war.
