| Blind, Diabetic Sheik Eating M&Ms in Order to Incite Terrorist Attacks |
| 2004-07-01 |
| From Fox News ... Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman (search), who is currently serving a life sentence, has reportedly stopped taking his insulin medicine and started eating M&Ms to make his diabetes worse. The blind cleric has apparently been upset about not getting the specific brand of tea he likes in prison. ... U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, who was the prosecutor in Abdel-Rahmanâs 1995 trial, testified he believed for some time that the sheik âwas going to play with his medical conditionâ because he knew the U.S. government would be blamed if something happened to him. Abdel-Rahman is a highly regarded spiritual leader among his militant followers, and there is still concern that should his health decline, those followers would retaliate against the United States. In 1997, his supporters vowed to kill then-President Bill Clinton and the sheikâs trial judge if Abdel-Rahman became ill while in prison. |

| #1 Ask him what his color M&M he likes. Do you think he will notice if we print Menorahs on all the green ones? |
