A Jordanian immigrant facing the death penalty in Houston praised Osama bin Laden for the terror attacks on New York City on September 11, 2001, and said the violence was deserved, his daughter testified Tuesday.

Nesreen Irsan, 30, told jurors that her fervently Muslim father, 60-year-old Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan, was living in Conroe when the infamous attacks occurred and was happy that Americans had died. He also told his 12 children they should become suicide bombers if asked.

“He said it’s what America deserves,” the daughter said as she testified against the father who has been convicted of killing her husband and best friend in two “honor killings” in 2012.

Asked exactly what he said, Nesreen Irsan made a statement in Arabic, then explained: “It means God bless Osama bin Laden.”

Well, we can hope that the jury actually convicts him, and that the judge doesn’t mitigate the punishment because it is “his culture.”
But I wouldn’t hold my breath.

I can’t imagine living life with that much hate in my heart. That isn’t living.

“He said it’s what America deserves,”

The only possible answer to "Why do you live here?" is that he full well intends on harming These United States from within. The single greatest threat to any institution, organization, or Nation is the enemy within its gates.

This is the kind of bozo for whom the old torn apart by horses execution method was invented. And then fed to pigs would be an appropriate means of disposal. Why bother with a pine box and gravestone? Let him be a protein source for pigs bound for cans of Alpo. That way, his carcass can be processed through pigs and then dogs, both of which are the opposite of halal in Islam.

We have been invaded by these creatures. I was watching a video on Youtube last night and an advertisement pops up at the bottom for ‘learnmoreaboutislam’. I wonder if Youtube would allow ‘learnmoreaboutchristianity’?

These people don't belong here.

Only in true Islam can a muslim kill(murder) a human being(believer) & justify it per the Koran(allah’s just cause).

Did Nancy Pelosi and Madd Maxine testify as character witnesses for this “poor misunderstood individual?”

I’m sure all the vigilant, peaceful Muslims who don’t support terrorism in his community immediately reported him to the government when he expressed those sentiments. Right?

How did the media treat the murders the week the story broke, did they media call it a hate crime against the muslim community?

I know they did that for at least one honor killing in Texas.
