Thanks for the ping!

Well...and this may make me sound like I'm flip-flopping...when it all comes down to it, yes, of course I want this scum to get the death penalty....if anyone deserves to die, Moussaoui does. (and I think it's a shame that his death has to be "humane" because he and his terrorist pals weren't humane to the thousands they murdered on 9/11) While I honesly do think he would suffer more if my suggestion were followed, I know that type of scenario would never happen with crackpots like the ACLU to protect him if he got life in prison.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want him to SUFFER!!

And look how life in prison was for Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman. He remained a figure head and interactive inspiration for 9/11.

That is ok. The Arab Muslims don't like the black Muslims.

So it all works out.

>>>We may not like the Muslim Brotherhood, but when was the last time a member of the Nation of Islam blew himself up?

When was the last time an Arab Sheik blew himself up?

Sheik Rahman did too. And he inspired cells of 'freedom fighters' to engage in endless terroristic activities for his cause. All they need is a figure head. Life in prison serves that purpose.

"Don't make him a martyr, lock him up for life in solitary and forget about him." What a waste ... insert a needle through his sinuses into his frontal lobes and give him a bit of alcohol and a bit of insulin and a bit of lidocaine, then teach him to rake leaves and carry objects for the rest of his verminous life.

This is truly a battle or conflict of will and faith. There are some that waver and doubt, because this personification of all that is evil and wicked can openly taunt and brag; while re-opening anguish and suffereing for all of us. Under our laws, we can not impose anything near the suffering and pain that has been thrust upon fine people by this individual and his cohorts. Keep the faith that justice will be done.

Kill this virus as soon as possible. He will not infect near as many as if it was an easy life in prison

Thy will, not mine, be done.

He dreams of being a martyr. I'd love to hear the judge dismiss him as a small bug and sentence him to life in prison.

That WOULD be justice, it would also take away the incentive for the Muslims to stir up the masses because their brother was executed by the mean nasty Americans. Of course they don't need an incentive; they'd do it no matter what.

I've heard our Black Muslims don't like these muslims.

they don't like anybody, I don't think.
