#1 "US businessman"? Ah. Original source was AP. That would explain the failure to mention that Elashi was a also CAIR honcho.

#2 Good catch Jag. I'm going to suggest to the moderators at CAIR Watch that they superimpose a "Busted" sticker over Elashi's face.

On a more serious note, perhaps you might be able to answer a question. The artilce says Elashi just received a sentence of 7 years but is still facing a trial to come in February. If Elashi goes to trial and is convicted or if he enters a plea of guilty, can any additional jail time he might receive be stacked on top of the original 7 years he is already doing?

I suppose I'm holding out hope to see the original 7 years turn into 15-20.

#3 I know very little about these trials -- I don't bother following them because these scumbags are never sent to Gitmo or strung up in the town square, which is what needs to happen.

However, on the narrow question you pose, I presume the sentences will run concurrently. I.e, a pointless waste of time, effort, and taxpayer money. You'd think Texas courts could do better.

#4 They say "US" and "British", but they never say MUSLIM(E). It's funny as he almost certainly considers himself to be (sc)"Ummah" rather than a member of a civilised nation.

#5 Dear Santa,

Would it be to much to hope that this Kaaba circle machine be hung in the hole in New York? Pleeeze!? 7 years? BS.

I hope anti-CAIR has a field day with this one.

#6 Can we call CAIR a terrorist orgaization now?

Or at least question their patriotism?

#8 Going into the U.S. prision system for this piece of crap will probably be all roses and high-fives considering the adoring fans and supporters of "Allen" allowed to flourish by our PC leadership.

Maybe if they restrict his diet to Pork Rinds and Chitlin's.......?

#9 Will the FBI also go after the many prominent mosques who knew they were sending money to HAMAS via the Holyland Foundation? Hopefully the PC mentality doesn't prevail.
