Nonie Darwish: Khalid’s Trial is America’s Trial

Khalid’s Trial is America’s Trial
Nonie Darwish

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who confessed to be the mastermind of the 9/11 terror attack, will be tried at a federal courthouse in lower Manhattan with the same rights as any US citizens. What is the purpose of this trial if Mr. Mohammed has already confessed? For the Obama administration, the trial will kill two birds with one stone and neither one is to seek justice for Mr. Mohammed since we all already know he did it.

The purpose of the trial is to embarrass the Bush administration and America itself and to give Arabs a golden opportunity to indulge in propaganda to convince the West with falsehoods regarding the root causes of Islamic terrorism; mainly that it is the consequence of US foreign policy, old grievances and America’s supports Israel.

Mr. Mohammed will have a chance to make a case against the US for the waterboarding used on him during his interrogation. That will be a confirmation to Attorney General Eric Holder’s reopening of the waterboarding investigation.

The war between Islamism and the rest of the world is largely a cultural and ideological war. Jihad, violent and non-violent, is a cornerstone of Islam that seeks to penetrate the West by any means. Jihadists are commanded to strike terror in the hearts of non-believers, as the Quran says. Deep fear resulting from such terror, renders some Americans vulnerable to appeasement rather than fight it. Islamists understand that dynamics very well and have used it throughout their history. Now that they have already done the terror, which softened some Americans, it is time to play with American’s minds; to desensitize Americans to Islamic tyranny and as to who is right and who is wrong. In the process, Islamists want us to hear their manufactured propaganda of Arab grievances and put the West on the defensive. That will not be very difficult in Western culture where many are eager to blame America first.

The purpose of jihadists is to make the victims of jihad (America on 9/11), confused as to Islam’s jihadist goals. That is why teaching violent jihad to Muslims must go hand in hand with teaching them hatred of the West, the object of jihad. Jihad education won’t work unless it is simultaneously accompanied by promoting fear and lies about non-Muslim nations Islamists want to conquer. Islamists must also convince the West that Muslim countries are their victims. This is the only way to justify jihadist aspiration. Jihad will go much easier and faster if it is packaged as self defense both to the West and to the Jihadist Muslim youth. Muslim victim-hood image must always be maintained.

The coming civil trial of Mohammed in New York is perhaps the best gift Obama has given to the Saudi Kind Abdullah, leader of the country that produced 15 of the 19 terrorists. He is giving him a chance to save face and present Islam as the victim. When Obama bowed to the Saudi King, it was a sign of subservience to Islam, whether Obama wants to admit it or not. This trial will solidify the claims by some of Obama’s czars that America had it coming on 9/11. The Arab world must be celebrating.

Americans need to get out on the street to protest this before it's too late.
The early polls show that very few Americans believe that anything good can come from this fiasco.

Obama people are obsessed with the public opinion in Europe. However, no major European country would even consider putting their own country on trial. This is not going to make our standing among our allied better. In fact it will be quite the opposite.

Basically, this action is surrendering in the war on terror. The terrorists are already winning the propaganda war.

The feeling is not comfortable, in our polarized age; but I am beginning to lean toward the opinion that the president is not just incorrect about this or that policy, but ... that he is a bad man.

Here is Andy McCarthy's short opinion on the domestic purpose of the trial. Let every American read this:

He's innocent by 'torture...Arrest Bush...Arrest Cheney...Arrest Rove...Arrest the whole CIA...The ultimate goal...Arrest America and lock it up...if you don't get arrested for being complicit, you will be arrested by Nancy Pelosi for violation of health care purchase laws...
A $15,000 fine and five years in the slammer is a 'good idea' to her...
She wants to imprison us from refusing to 'purchase' bogus government goods...
America is already chained down, but the lock is still open...We better act before Obama closes it...

If anyone hasn't read Nonie Darwish's "Cruel and Usual Punishment" yet run, don't walk, to Amazon or your local bookstore and get a fast, absorbing education in Sharia and what it means for us if it ever takes hold here.

I acme ot that conclusion in the campaign when it came out he had campaigned for Odinga in Kenya in 2006. And he raised $1,000,000 for him.

Odinga = not nice (rape murder pillage) plus he signed a contract with Muslim chiefs to implement Sharia law in Muslim part of Kenya, if elected.

Obama campaigned for him...

Nonie Darwish is the cream of the crop! What a fearless writer! Exposes the enemy so eloquently.

Obama is the 'muslim sleeper cell' in the White House.
Obama is our enemy from within.

He IS evil, not naive. You're right, StillBreathing, he is a bad man who's bad for our country, freedom and future.

Here is the bottom line: He, and his ilk, AND islam must be driven from our shores. We are incompatible entities. . . it's time for a divorce!

We need to take a similar position to the mohammedans and demand that American muslims either pledge their allegiance to the USofA and accept, (submit,) to our laws, or they must leave.

Convert to America or go. It's a better choice than Daniel Pearl ever got.

Let the record show:
that the Lockabie bomber walked
and that the first terrorist attack to take place on American soil since September 11
took place on Obama's watch.

The question still is:
Will Khalid Sheikh Mohammed walk on Obama's watch as well?

[Deb Lucero]

This does not surprise me in the least. I think they will get a jury of their peers, aka muslim sympathizers, who will make sure they go free. Or, if they are convicted, they will get credit for time served and still walk free. This is adding insult to injury to the survivors and the families of those who died on 9-11. If the kenyan born islamic traitor is not stopped now then I fear it will be too late.

[WAKE UP]

Speaking as a mystified, concerned outsider: (1) how can he be tried as an American citizen when he isn't one? (especially when people, such as myself, who would love to become American citizens, haven't hope in hell); and (2) how can this be a "civil" matter (if I have that right) when it was an act of war?
