Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
Bismillah
Brothers and sisters, before you take any of what the press claims to be true about Sister Fatima, please read the indictment [http://freedetainees.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/28104790-Indictment-1.pdf], watch the video below (foxnews interview) and take special note of "At first (the officials) wouldn't do anything." Does that mean that "youtube smackdown" took things into their own hands and took it a bit further? Could this have been a case of entrapment, no one knows. What is known is that the people from the group who are bragging in this interview seem to be very hateful and vindictive. It's no surprise that Fox gave them a venue.
Video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgnU17y1SKYThis begs a few questions:
The indictment does not explain where she was arrested exactly. There seem to be no record of her actually leaving the US, or being in Europe.
1. Why hasn't the roommate spoken before this - she was arrested last October.
2. Why is the Justice system allowing hate groups such as the one who caused all of this - to influence them?
3. Would they so easily allow themselves to be influenced by some neo-nazi group complaining about Jewish Israelis favoriting youtube videos that show the carnage of Operation Cast Lead of last year, because that happens, too.
4. What about the hate groups that not only favorite - but upload videos of US soldiers torturing, killing and detaining Iraqis?
There seems to be quite a double-standard here. It's never a good idea to believe the mainstream media.
O ye who believe! If a wicked person comes to you with any news, ascertain the truth, lest ye harm people unwittingly, and afterwards become full of repentance for what ye have done. - Surah 49:6
Please note that the arraignment is to take place on the 18th of this month. I will update everyone with the exact address soon, insha'allah.
Wasalaam
Your sister
