Man asks court to provide Arab clothing during Tampa trial
Tribune ^ | May 24, 2014 | Elaine Silvestrini

Sami Osmakac is asking taxpayers to provide him traditional Arab clothing for him to wear when he goes on trial next week on charges he plotted a terrorist attack in Tampa.

Osmakac's lawyer told a federal magistrate this morning that Osmakac's family doesn't want to pay to clothe him in a robe garment called a thobe and a head wrap known as a keffiyeh...

The judge has previously given Osmakac permission not to stand when the judge or jury enters the courtroom because of his religious beliefs. Potential jurors will be asked whether they can still be fair to him, given that belief.

...

Osmakac plotted to blow up a popular Tampa night spot and then take hostages and demand the release of Islamic prisoners

the judge is an idiot...when you are in an American court, you follow the same rules as everyone else...you stand when you are supposed to...your religious beliefs have nothing to do with anything....and if you had a religion at all, you wouldn’t be blowing up innocent people.

The US government has forced the state of Oklahoma to overturn its anti-Sharia bill, after a Muslim man named Muneer Awad sued the state for supposed violations against “freedom of religion.”

CAIR also played a role ..

Why the burlap? Why not just the rope?

This is the rat that bit the Muslim that lay in the jail that Jack built.
Why doesn’t he just wrap himself in a bed sheet with a pillow case for a turban?

His religious beliefs also include a duty to kill non-believers. Will the judge toss the charges?

NO. He should go to trial wearing an uncomfortable, ill-fitting hot pink prison jumpsuit. His prison time should be spent doing working 16 hour days in a rendering plant, under the constant threat of being fed to starving hogs as capital punishment.
