. Go to a Muslim website when they arrest a cleric (I love that term) for similar crimes, and you'll see a whole bunch of apologists come out of the woodwork, claiming that he's being persecuted. Somehow I doubt I'll see that in FR.

Sadly, no. See this thread.

"Sadly, no. See this thread."

I don't think he would have even made the post had he known the difference between a hung-jury and acquittal. Further, some 90%+ of the respondents are telling him to get lost.

In summary, FR still handled itself with class in that thread. The apologists were limited in number and continually shot down.

There are many differences between that thread and my hypothetical:
1) His crime was committed 40 years ago - memories fade
2) He is an old man, no longer a threat
3) He doesn't have a beard on his face or an RPG in his back pocket (couldn't resist that one)
4) He's been tried once, and nearly convicted


In my hypothetical, the Muzzie would get arrested for the first time, with overwhelming and fresh evidence. Yet their websites would still claim he was innocent. Heck, they still thing that Israel was behind 9-11.

(btw, IMO this old bastard still must fry)

Thanks much for the link.
