Guilty as charged on all counts.

Update, 8 minutes ago:

DALLAS (AP) — Jurors have convicted a Muslim charity and five of its former leaders of all 108 charges in the largest terrorism financing trial since the Sept. 11 attacks.
The verdict was announced Monday afternoon, on the eighth day of deliberations in the retrial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. It was once the nation's largest Muslim charity.
Holy Land is accused of giving more than $12 million to support the Palestinian militant group Hamas. The group was designated by the government as a terrorist organization in 1995.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information

Aren’t these guys the founders of CAIR?

One of the sons of one of the convicts is named Jihad Elaydi. Yea, no fanatics in that bunch. Riiight. The son is not a kid either, but more than old enough to shave, although it appears he doesn't.

Zolfa Elaydi (center) is comforted by her son, Jihad Elaydi, as she and her daughter, Fidaa Elaydi, weep outside the Earl Cabell Federal Building on Monday in reaction to the guilty verdicts in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing case.

Wish I could have been driving in downtown Dallas about that time so I could laugh at them.

Wonderful!

Just as **all** of the jihadis prosecuted in Northern Virginia (and there have been many of them) have ***always*** been convicted or plea-bargained to very long jailtime (20 years or more). There might be one or two exceptions, but not many.

ap has this title on the wire..

Charity convicted in terrorism financing trial

Mufid Abdulqader, Abdulrahman Odeh and Mohammed El-Mezain. How much did they funnel to Barack?

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch of people.
May they take a long time dying...so says Sho-Gun

First trial ended in mistrial, at least partly due to the browbeating by one juror of all the others.

backstory:
