Breaking: Holy Land jihad defendants convicted on all terror-related charges
Just in from DMN. Counting down until CAIR Islamophobia cries begin. In 3, 2, 1…
A jury on Monday determined that the Holy Land Foundation and five men who worked with the Muslim charity were guilty of three dozen counts related to the illegal funneling of at least $12 million to the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.
The unanimous verdicts are a complete victory for the government, which streamlined its case and worked hard to carefully educate jurors on the complex, massive evidence presented in the trial.
The prosecution victory is also a major one for the lame duck administration of President George Bush, whose efforts at fighting terrorism financing in court have been troubled, even though the flow of funds seems to be effectively shut down.
It was the second trial where the government attempted to convict the men and the now defunct Richardson-based Holy Land Foundation itself. It took the jury eight days of deliberations to reach its decisions — less than half the time it took jurors to deadlock end up with an almost complete mistrial last year on the first go-around.
“My dad is not a criminal!” sobbed one courtroom observer after the verdicts were read. “He’s a human!”
Before he read the verdict, the judge had ordered all observers to remain civil and respect the proceedings.
By 3 p.m. Monday, jurors had been sent back to the jury room to determine if Holy Land assets should be forfeited to the government because of several convictions on money laundering charges related to the case.

How much of CS2.0 will this offset?
Wow, first feel good story of the day. Thank the jurors for this verdict. rop on the ropes for money, gotta love it.
L
They’re not mutuially exclusive; most criminals are humans.
Hey you can always dream.
Justice.
This should have been considered a capital crime
“My dad is
nota criminal!” sobbed one courtroom observer after the verdicts were read. “He’s a human.criminal terrorist supporting scumbag.Excellent. After their first trial one of the jurors appeared on local radio (Dallas) bragging about how he bullied the other jurors into hurriedly agreeing on an acquittal.
Hot Diggity!
A win for the good guys!
Well, now. I think we have our first candidates for an Obama pardon.
I hope I’m wrong. But I wouldn’t be shocked if I’m not.
Pardon from the president-elect is sure to come.
How many carbon credits are needed to offset an electric chair execution?
And where do I send the money?
They’ll delay punishment until The One begins his Reign of Error. Then these scum will get a slap a on the wrist, told not to do it again, and to play nice.
Then, all the problems in the world will go away! The sun will rise, the birds will sing, the breeze will blow, all the people of the world will embrace in a group hug and the chorus of “Kum-by-ya” will be heard up the mountain and down the meadow!
And the intelligent people will vomit.
Ain’t socialism wonderful?
“My dad is not a criminal!” sobbed one courtroom observer after the verdicts were read. “He’s a human!”
Surprise, he’s both!
Good news.
Now, how about convicting this jihadist…
It’s not over yet, but we can pray it sticks. When will the appeals to Obama begin by CAIR?
Here’s a message for those members of the ITO’s…submit! It is Allah’s will! (You just know that prior to the trial, the defendants were told by their Islamic attorneys, “God willing, we will be found innocent!”) Don’t they believe that everything is God’s will? Well, boys and girls, here ya go!
SCORE!
YEAH!
Compare the worst that could happen to these guys in terms of punishment to Arab countries.
5 down, ten million to go.
If we allow the “political correctness war” to continue unanswered these victories will be far and few between.
So were the people his money helped to kill.
Great news! A jury determined that the Holy Land Foundation was in an unholy alliance with Hamas. Unfortunately, some compassionate liberal judge appointed by Clinton will likely overturn the verdict on appeal just because he CAIRs.
Well, finally some good news!
Woo-hoo!
I’m sure the rioting has already begun.
Congratulations to all involved in getting the convictions. It sounds as though the government worked extra hard to make the confusing case understandable. (Something they need to do more often.) Bravo Zulu! (well done!)
Rule #1: Don’t give money to terrorist organizations.
Rule #2: If in doubt, see rule #1.
Those are easy guidelines.
Another example of treason from moon god worshipers.
Hey State Department, keep allowing the religion of peace into these United States of America! the next thing you know, there will be another example involving Ft. Dix.
Sarc/off
Hurray for Mr. Rowand and for our country.
So were the 19 US Airmen he and his band of animals slaughtered in the Khobar Towers. Maybe we should strap him in a 12 story building and set a 10,000 bomb of next to it. While a million tons of debris rain down on their heads (sort of like Hamass rockets raining down on innocent Israli civilians) maybe Allah will send 72 virgins to protect them.
Too much like work. Cut their heads off.
Paul Revere:
This would tell “his” true colors indeed. These animals are sub-human. Killing innocent civilians and then hiding behind some religion? Nem.
Obama Pardons all of them 12 seconds after he lowers his hand at swearing in ceremony.
Right after he signs the order to criminalize anyone who does not worship and obey him.
It’s about damned time. Now it would be nice if the DOJ went after another terrorist front in this country known as CAIR. No terrorist supporting organization should be permitted to operate within our borders. Come to think of it, The New York Times falls under that category, too.
hooorah; this scum is the group who fund rocket launchers into israel, acid throwers into the faces of girls in afghanistan, and strapping retarded boys and girls with dynamite and remotely detonating these poor folks in iraq. napalm em.
