SMILE
[from Dr. Akhtar.]

At Heathrow Airport today, an individual, later discovered to be a public school teacher, was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a compass, a protractor, and a graphical calculator. Authorities believe he is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. He is being charged with carrying weapons of math instruction.

Defense Attorney asks that Blind Shaikh's Son be produced in Court

New York: During the June 13 hearing in the case of Ahmed Abdel Sattar, the famous Egyptian dissident being held in solitary confinement, the defense raised an important point. The defense attorney demanded that the blind Shaikh's son, Ahmed Abdel Rahman, be brought to the court to testify.

This is important because the government is alleging that Ahmed Abdel Sattar sent money to the blind Shaikh's son, who was in Afghanistan, in support of "terrorism." The Shaikh's son should be there to testify whether the money was sent to him, and if so, for what purpose.

The Shaikh's son is reportedly being held at Guantanamo Bay but the prosecutor tried to deny any knowledge of his existence.

Shaikh Omar 'Abdel Rahman, spiritual leader of Al-Gamaa al-Islamiyya, was sentenced to life in prison on the testimony of an Egyptian undercover agent who had been paid $1 million by the FBI.

Shaikh Abdel Rahman, Ph.D from Al-Azhar, great scholar of Islam, orator and teacher, had taken refuge in America to escape the tyranny of Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak. The Americans evidently sentenced him to please the murderous Egyptian regime which practices arbitrary arrests and torture against all suspects.
One who memorized the Qur'an and the Hadith, in spite of his lack of physical sight, is being kept in solitary confinement in Colorado, cut off from relatives, friends, journalists and even attorneys.

In a bizarre turn of events, the U.S. arrested the Shaikh's attorney, Lynne Stewart, for being involved in terroristic activity!

[The judge in the Shaikh's case was a Zionist Jew, Michael Mukasey. We have numerous articles on the case on our web site: www.newtrendmag.org]
