A Muslim cleric from Lodi, one of five members of the Pakistani community in the San Joaquin County city arrested by federal authorities this month, told an immigration judge Friday that he made anti-American speeches to crowds in Pakistan in the first months of the U.S.-led invasion of neighboring Afghanistan. A bail hearing in San Francisco for Shabbir Ahmed, facing deportation for allegedly overstaying his visa, provided a forum for the government to counter his supporters' claims that Ahmed is a peaceful clergyman victimized by anti- Islamic hysteria.
As the imam of a mosque in the capital city of Islamabad in late 2001, "you encouraged people in Pakistan at least five times to go to Afghanistan and kill Americans,'' Paul Nishiie, assistant general counsel of the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told Ahmed. The witness, speaking through an interpreter, at first denied the accusation, then said he urged his audiences to "pressure Americans that they should stop the bombing,'' and finally confirmed that he told the FBI he had encouraged attacks on American troops. Asked repeatedly whether he had also urged Pakistanis to defend Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan, Ahmed eventually said, "Being emotional, I may have said it or I may not have said it.'' Ahmed also testified that he has never supported terrorism and that he now regrets his 2001 speeches, and has since made speeches defending the United States to Muslim audiences. Immigration Judge Anthony Murry delayed further proceedings until Aug. 2 for Ahmed and two other Lodi men, leaving all three in jail.

--Answer: Stuck in a TV show! Darn.
The World War 2 generation would be disgusted at what we have become.
He "allegedly" overstayed his visa?
Would they say that a drunk driver's license had allegedly expired? I should think it was a pretty simple matter to determine what the date on his visa is.
Islam, The Alleged Religion of Peace® ( TARP )? Click this picture:
No, I am not exaggerating. Click the pic, go to "last," and read backwards.
If you are not informed about this stuff, you will be made sick. If you are informed, you will be made mad, all over again.
Agreed, unfortunately.
We really, really need to finally get with the program.
To that end, real progress would be made if this "imam" (dime-a-dozen 'slammie murder cheerleader) were simply taken out and shot.
Real progress.
But the enemies then were clearly identifiable and easier to locate. Our enemies today are more dangerous because they have changed tactics and are now a protected species within our borders. Liberals, socialist democrats, islamofascists, supreme court justices, the MSM, the list goes on.
Are you trying to ruin my day? :-P
You do make a point that there are a lot of enemies in the war to preserve our country, and though the imams and radical Muslims are probably the most urgent, we can't even begin to catalog the damage done by socialists in America.
Get the panties ready for this guy!

Luckily, there are plenty of bullets lying around in this country just waiting to be used.
Why do you say this? All the WWIIs I know that are still alive are disgusted, but still don't realize that it is cause and effect. If you vote for Democrat socialist politicians which they did in droves in the Sixties and Seventies, and sell your soul for health care, you will get all the bad stuff as fallout.
The WW I generation is the true Greatest Generation, one of the reasons being they were not among those primarily responsible for the management of the Vietnam War.
But he's sorry he said it. It was in the heat of the moment, plus he has anger management problems, but the Liberals have gotten him therapy, and he's better now. No longer wants to blow us all to kingdom come. Have a nice day.
No, not bullets. I think it would be better if we could win their hearts and minds. . . somehow.
Tar and feathers comes to mind.

Only it isn't 'radical Islam'...it's main stream Islam
Islam in it's purest form...right from the source...
Mecca & Medina and the Heart of the Saudi Kingdom

Thanks for the link, Ernest.
They need their torch blown out and voted off the island. There is no room in this country for these types.
