Egypt's general prosecutor has issued arrest warrants for controversial Gainesville pastor Terry Jones and seven Egyptian Coptic Christians and referred them to trial on charges linked to an anti-Islam film that has sparked riots across the Muslim world.

The prosecutor's office says the seven men and one woman, all of whom are believed to be outside of Egypt, are charged with harming national unity, insulting and publicly attacking Islam and spreading false information. The office says they could face the death penalty.

” HA! Let’s see if Obama sells out his own countrymen to another court system. “

Obama might wait until after the election.

Yeah, he'll "have more flexibility" then.

So Sorry....does not apply here.

Have a nice day....

But really, what is going on here? The Muslim Brotherhood is exerting their extremist doctrine on America. 0bama, Hillary et al. really do not know how to respond or what to do. All the progressives know is how to be ‘politically correct,’ and don't know, comprehend, understand what their basic civic responsibility is to the First Amendment on Free Speech and Religious Freedom.

The White House literally doesn't know what to do because their minds are so hamstrung with the progressive ideology they can't defend America out of a paperbag.

As I've said on a few websites today, Islam needs to step into the modern world of public discourse. The ability to have free speech and freedom of religion or from religion in some cases allows a civilization to hold discourse on the ideas of philosophy, matters of the soul, etc. These two Rights that are being attacked elevate society as a whole and it is this ‘constitutional gift’ that makes America so great.

It is their imam's etc. that have caused the incitement and riots, not some dumb film mocking their religion.

Let's split the difference. We'll keep the Blind Sheik’s head and send his body home to Egypt.

"Presidential announcement that if these conditions are not met, America will cease transfer of any and all foreign aid to Egypt."

This should be done regardless of whether they meet your first two conditions!

Hmmmm. Let’s see. Didn’t the current leadership of Egypt come to power by creating unrest in the previous regime, and even murdering some of them?

I guess this proves the point that winners get to write the history.

And the thing is if the admitted foreign national from Kenya turns him over, he knows the media will watch his back and not hold it against him which is the 2nd reason why this media today can go F itself. Not only are they helping the foreign national born in Kenya unconstitutionally serve another term as POTUS, they are also allowing him to get away with anything he so desires. Just think: Whatever Mitt Romney says, no matter what it is, is treated exactly how Obama should be treated over his 9000 other F ups but never is by the press, the latest example being the embassy attacks. Incredibly they went after Romney!

Response From Pastor Terry Jones:

“Terry Jones just emailed a statement to reporters in which he says that the arrest warrants just show that Islam is a religion of “intolerance.”

The statement goes on:

“It is time that we join together in the west and give a very clear signal that we stand against terrorism, against intimidation, against fear, against every form of violation of human rights, civil rights, violations against women and children of which Islam is the prime example. We must protect freedom of speech. Freedom of speech and freedom of expression are the very cornerstone of a free society. As we began to limit that, or lose that, we will lose the ability to govern ourselves.”

Hello, boys and boys. Welcome to the Azhar’s lecture series: Infidel National Sovereignty, and How to Eliminate It. The best way to start is by pretending it doesn’t exist. Refuse to let infidels into your cab with liquor or small dogs, explaining that it violates Sharia. Issue arrest warrants for crimes against Islam in terrortory (sic) outside your jurisdiction, where the offending infidel is not violating any law recognized by the sovereign nation. If you hang tough and refuse to listen to reason, they will become that much more flexible next time you lock horns with them, even if they refuse to give in this time. Question?

Unless Obimbo and Cankles overstep their bounds, none of the people that were charged with “harming national unity, insulting and publicly attacking Islam and spreading false information” in Egypt can be extradited, as this is not covered under the extradition treaty. The treaty was signed with the Ottoman Empire in 1874 and includes murder, attempted murder, rape, arson, piracy, mutiny, burglary, robbery, forgery, counterfeiting and embezzlement. Here is the link: http://books.google.ca/books?id=ty43AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA572&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false
There may have been amendments however, I did not locate any.

If the Pres__ent wishes to extradite these folks at this time, I believe that he would find resistance even from within the Dhimicrat party. I also believe that there would be push back from within LE and the military. This might be the tipping point!
