The convicted terrorist known as the underwear bomber who tried to blow up a Detroit-bound jet on Christmas in 2009 says his constitutional rights are being violated at a federal prison in Colorado, where hes allegedly being forced to eat food forbidden by his Muslim faith.
In a lawsuit filed last week in Colorado federal court, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab claims hes being housed in long-term solitary confinement at the 425-inmate supermax prison in Florence, and has been harassed by white supremacists who target Muslims, as well as being blocked from communicating with his relatives.
Prison walls do not form a barrier separating prison inmate from the protections of the United States Constitution, according to the 73-page lawsuit filed by Abdulmutallab, a Nigerian native who was sentenced to four life terms in prison in 2012 after pleading guilty to trying detonate a bomb hidden in his underwear on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit with nearly 300 people on board.
The lawsuit names US Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Federal Bureau of Prisons, as well as 20 unidentified defendants. Spokespeople for the named defendants could not be reached for comment on Sunday, the Detroit Free Press reports.
Abdulmutallab, according to the lawsuit, has gone on a hunger strike to protest the alleged conditions, but says he has been repeatedly force-fed non-halal food. He also claims hes enduring special administrative measures that block him from communicating with more than 7.5 billion people, the vast majority of people on the planet, according to the lawsuit.
The wannabe terrorist claims the constraints have restricted him from practicing his religion, a violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, according to the lawsuit...

In line with his religious beliefs they should provide him with a bomb so he can blow himself up (a safe distance from anyone else). /s
should have been executed immediately after trial.
Not because I am vengeful, but because 1) its a serious crime, but especially 2) these men become living political symbols and agitators, as this one is doing now.
1.) You are in prison. Your constitutional rights have been revoked. The rights you are now afforded are at the behest of the state and governed by certain guidelines, laws and a bit of human decency.
2.) Only US citizens are afforded the benefits and protections enumerated the US constitution. Be happy you are not serving you sentence in Cuba.
Finally, I hope you are enjoying those underwear bombs that the other inmates share with you?
As far as I’m concerned, He has no ‘Constitutional rights’!.......................
NONE!
He’s not a citizen.
He’s a would be MASS-murderer!
He can curl up and die for all I care!.........................
That’s just too damn bad, Haji.
The guy tries to blow off his jewels 1,000 feet off the ground and he is ‘worried’ about personal rights????
Poor widdle “Skidmarks” I am so torn up about that man’s rights.
So which is it, skippy? Are you being kept away from everybody all by your lonesome or are you being put around those wascally white supwemacists?
“I hope you are enjoying those underwear bombs that the other inmates share with you?”
He’s in Solitary, so he’s not experiencing this aspect of prison.
Other than that, you’re right that he no longer has the Rights enjoyed by law-abiding persons.
Sounds like a good candidate for a pigs blood transfusion
ODD that he never filed any lawsuits during the 8 years of the OBOZO Administration.........................
>> should have been executed immediately after trial.
What? And deprive an army of do-gooder lawyers of their fees for defending him? No way.
We don’t care about his rights anymore. He gave that up when he tied to kill us.
I would prefer him dead anyway.
If any of us were in a Saudi prison, or some hell hole prison in some Arab/Muslim country, how much would our rights be granted, our rights as “infidels” or non-Muslims?
Who the hell is educating him about his so called constitutional rights? Why would he do this?
Heck if he had his way he would be dead already. So who the hell is he to bitch about his treatment?
Taking off my shoes at the airport is a violation too, so we are more than even. Mr. President, pls drain the TSA.
One of my favorite lines from Zero Dark Thirty:
“This is what losing feels like”
Solitary with white supremacists? Next he’ll demand a harem. Why is he even there using up our oxygen? His oxygen should have been turned off after the trial.
From what I’ve read about the treatment of prisoners at Gitmo, sounds like that is where he wants to go.
Pig heart and sexual reassignment surgery.
