Two Muslims Convicted in Terror Trial

Good news!

(Albany, New York) Despite claims of entrapment, two Muslim men affiliated with the Central Avenue Mosque, Yassin M. Aref and Mohammed M. Hossain, were convicted yesterday of dozens of terrorism-related charges in U.S. District Court. A jury deliberated for four days before handing down the verdict.

Aref, the local imam of the Central Avenue Mosque and a Kurdish refugee, was found guilty on 10 counts. Hossain, a 51-year-old Bangladeshi immigrant and pizza shop owner, was found guilty of 27 counts.

From TimesUnion.com:

Yassin M. Aref, the religious leader, and Mohammed M. Hossain are accused of taking part in a fictitious plot to help launder money from the sale of a shoulder-fired missile to terrorists plotting an attack in New York City.

Aref faced separate charges for allegedly lying on a green card application and while being interviewed by FBI agents about his ties to a Kurdish political party.

Attorneys for both men have stated their intentions to appeal. Sentencing is scheduled for February 12th. Meanwhile, I'll celebrate with a doughnut.

3 Off subject but I thought this interesting. After one of many shootings in New Orleans yesterday citizens finally figured how to get a cop to respond. You call  911 and yell OFFICER DOWN.  Apparently they will come to the aid of their own. Normally, they wait until they are sure the shooting in over. This is a true story.

4 Over a half of a million Iraqi's have been murdered by terrorists since the war in Iraq began.
 
The MSM doesn't make that distinction. To them 655,000 Iraqi's have been killed period. There is no mention of the various members of the insurgency and the differing militias we have been battling.
 
Once again they fail in their duty to tell the truth.

5 Nothing but the death penalty will suffice, however they will probably be back out in 3 years on good behavior. Only 100,00 more to go .....  Hat tip: If we didn't allow muslims in at all, then they couldn't lie to the INS!

6 On Frontline last night, I saw Tom Kean pooh-poohing a lot of these busts, averring that there is no link to al Qaeda in most of these cases of wannabe jihadis.
A clue, Chairman Kean: al Qaeda is not the NSDAP, giving out numbered membership cards; it is a nebulous, amorphous idea that any nitwit can pick up and yield to unholy purposes. One needn't be sworn in by either bin Ladin or Zawahiri.
