File under: Hamas

#1 In the Muslim community, many view the prosecution as driven by pro-Israel political forces and by a form of paranoia they call "Islamophobia."

That's right, Achmed; the Joooos control everything except the brave Lions of Islam™. Send your checks or money orders to Hamas, 101 Dead End Steet, Gaza City, Peoples Paleopit of Gaza so your money can be used in the titanic, never-ending struggle against the Jooos.

#2 It's not a "phobia" when they're actually out to get you.

#3 "The prosecution is trying to criminalize humanitarian aid Muslim terrorism," the vice president of the Dallas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Khalil Meek, said. "The Holy Land Foundation and its associates are ~~not~~ charged with any violence. They actually did feed, clothe, shelter, and provide medical support to humanitarian efforts all over the world."

Fixed that.

#4 Well almost. In the mean time the local news stations on Minnesota are not going to cover this. Will the liberal multi-cultural ass kissing news directors and editors still send flowers to Ellison, this story will never see the light of day there.

#5 It turns out that promising to pay & then paying the children of suicide bombers is contract murder.

Of course many muslims, even American muslims, don't consider suicide bombing of Israelis to be murder at all (they consider it lawful resistance).

CAIR, an unindicted party in this (whose more unsavory correspondance and communication may be revealed in this trial), has successfully evaded making their policy (which is basically support for suicide bombing of Israelis) public.

#6 There is nothing humanitarian about Islam or Hamas.

#7 In a recent court filing, the government acknowledged that its case depends on "the counterintuitive notion that charitable' committees and ostensibly benevolent organizations could be so integral and important to a terrorist organization."

There isn't anything "counterintuitive" about it. At least not once you understand that Muslims will lie, cheat, misrepresent and simply steal if that's what it takes to further their cause. It is commonplace to see humanitarian aid diverted into arms purchases, ambulances being used to transport terrorists, sewer pipes converted over into missile bodies and numerous other flagrant abuses of international good will.

None of this even addresses the fact that zakat reaches all the way down. Who can give the least assurance that Palestinian families receiving financial assistance do not immediately turn around and contribute some portion of that money directly to their local terrorist organization?

While Islam may not be doctrinally monolithic, there are certain aspects which create an overall cohesive behavioral pattern. One of these is personal tithing for jihadist causes. When combined with the accepted practice of taqiyya, it becomes impossible to have even the least assurance that aid of any kind to Muslims of any stripe will not fall into the hands of terrorists.

The profound ingratitude and ingrained sense of entitlement displayed by Islamic countries and Muslim populations requires that foreign aid to Muslim majority nations be cut off until there is an end to terrorism. There must be an end to such outrages as having humanitarian assistance subverted towards the monstrous inhumanity of terrorist atrocities against the selfsame donors. Islam has absolutely no problem turning even the kindest deeds against those who do them. An abrupt halt to all further assistanceeven in times of disasteris the only appropriate response to this vile deceit.

#8 Send the Hamas supporters to Gaza to fully support them in their quest against Israel.

Also provides more targets for Israel.

#9 Since money is fungible, any money spent on charity for Gaza means that Hamas can spend more money on weapons since they don't have to waste it on charitable work.

#10 Those boys would stand a better chance if they did not have guys from the Left Coast and the East Coast professors defending them. The average Texan views Eastern College professors and CA lawyers lower than Hamas. Once the jury learns what Hamas is, they gonna be asking, "Who those guys think they fooling?" The jury is likely to be saying, "I don't want that stuff going on in my neighborhood." Bad news for the bad guys.

Always the same argument. Wasn't it Hitler who said if you tell a lie long enough . . . ?

Establishing case law that favors the mohammedans is all part of their jihad. In this way, they weaken the system of "their enemies" and (presumably) prepare the way for greater political/social/economic control to be afforded to them so they can carry out more legal avenues of protection, so they can influence and control American society in better ways that favor them, etc., etc.
