Don’t Wrap Radical Jihadists in the Safety of our Bill of Rights!
Stinging winds and pouring rain couldn’t dampen the passion of a large crowd of protestors as they rallied in New York City on December 5, 2009. They gathered to voice strong opposition to the trials of terrorism suspects to be held in the Big Apple.
Huddled near Manhattan’s federal courthouse, they held umbrellas in one hand and hoisted signs in the other:
“Attorney General Eric Holder – disgraceful and despicable” “Obama/Holder…Jihad from within” “Terrorists Protected – U.S. Troops Persecuted” “Don’t hold court in my living room!” “Don’t make us human shields!”
The impassioned rally included speakers from family members of 9-11 victims and other luminaries: Melissa Keen “Star Spangled Banner” • Seve Malzberg (M.C.) Talk-Show Host • Debra Burlingame 9/11 Families for a Safe and Strong America • TIM BROWN The Bravest.com • PETER REGEN FDNY • BRIAN DENNEHY Actor • GREG & LAUREN MANNING 9/11 survivors • EDITH LUTNICK Representing 800 Families of Cantor Fitzgerald • ANDY McCARTHY Former Federal Prosecutor • CURTIS SLIWA Talk-Show Host • LEE IELPI & TERRY MULLAN FDNY Dads and Moms • DAVID BEAMER Father of Todd Beamer • ZUHDI JASSER American Islamic Forum for Democracy • ROBIN & RON GRIFFIN Gold Star Parents • DANIEL RODRIGUEZ: “God Bless America”
Statements opposing civilian trials for the master mind behind the 9-11 attacks, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, and four other terrorists tied to the attacks were also issued from: Jon Voight, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Robert Duvall, Danny Aiello, Ben Stein, and Robert Davi.
A particularly emotional moment came as actor Brian Dennehy read a statement from Judea and Ruth Pearl – parents of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl:
“We, who witnessed the darkest side of hell, and have since spent every moment of our lives studying the anatomy of terror, refuse to accept the strategy of normalization that Holder’s decision represents. Terror is a crime against society, and should not be tried in the same court as crimes against individuals or against a particular country.”
AlJazeera-English reported on the rally:
Frustrations that war criminals are being tried as common criminals in a U.S. court and being given U.S. constitutional rights, that the trials will become a long ordeal used for political purposes, increased possibilities of terrorist repercussions in New York City, exorbitant costs related to the trials to be paid for by U.S. taxpayers, and that the terrorists may be set free on legal technicalities were chief among the deep concerns being expressed.
Curtis Silwa – Talk Show Host, Founder of Guardian Angels:
These jihadists, these sahibs – they don’t worship a religion. They worship a cult of death. And if it’s death they want, then death we should give them. Let ‘em go straight to hell without an asbestos suit.”
Even though President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have forgotten that their utmost responsibility is to provide for the safety and security of the American people, it’s inspiring to see that our fellow Americans have not. Let us stand shoulder to shoulder with 9-11 families and patriots across our nation to voice our opposition to the travesty of these trials. We must do all within our power to see that radical jihadists are not wrapped in the safety of our Bill of Rights.

Before the Khalid Shaikh Mohammed Circus comes to town attracting freak shows and illusionists to the midway, I thought the following information would be of interest:
Todd Beamer’s memorial service was held on 09/16/01 at the Princeton Alliance Church in Plainsboro, New Jersey. Todd Beamer’s wife, Lisa Beamer, a grieving mother of two and four months pregnant with her third child, registers TODDBEAMER.ORG four days later on 09/20/01, incorporates The Todd M. Beamer Memorial Foundation eight days later on 9/24/01 and then applies for the trademark “Let’s Roll” ten days later on 9/26/01. Instead of acting like a wife and mother who should be experiencing untold grief and loss her behavior turns a catastrophic personal tragedy into a cold and calculating cheap publicity stunt. But then, the U S Government’s 9/11 propaganda machine needed heroes as well as villains paraded through the media to support endless wars that murder indigenous people for control of their natural resources.
The most pivotal image of the events of 9/11 was what the Associated Press published as the photograph of United flight 175 frozen in time as it approached World Trade Center Two and credited to a Carmen Taylor. However, there appears to be a discrepancy in an early image of her and ones that followed. Real jet planes filled with fuel explode and break apart upon impact. They DO NOT mysteriously enter steel and concrete buildings like a hot knife into soft butter without a spark or bent wing tip. The following link elaborates:
