VERY GOOD NEWS: "Akbar" Convicted of Murder

FOXNews.com - Akbar Convicted of Murder, Friday, April 22, 2005

Army sergeant "Hasan Akbar,"was convicted Thursday by a military jury of premeditated murder and attempted murder in a grenade and rifle attack that killed two of his comrades and wounded 14 others in Kuwait during the opening days of the Iraq war.

Prosecutors say Akbar told investigators he launched the attack because he was concerned U.S. troops would kill fellow Muslims in Iraq. They said he coolly carried out the attack to achieve "maximum carnage" on his comrades in the 101st Airborne Division (search).

Defense attorney Maj. Dan Brookhart countered that Akbar was concerned the invasion of Iraq would result in the deaths of Muslims and that U.S. soldiers would rape Iraqi women. Akbar's father issued a statement this week saying his son was the source of harassment by fellow soldiers because he is a Muslim.

Now the only better news is that this son-of-a-bitch dies--as his sentence. As the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland would say: Off with his head! How fitting that would be!

We MUST NOT ALLOW UNVETTED MUSLIMS IN OUR MILITARY. And, the vetting process should be prolonged and get into every nook and cranny of the life of any Muslim wanting to be in our military, however long this takes. IT MUST BE OBJECTIVE.

For all of you minimizers and apologists of Islam and Muslims, here is the piece de resistance:

The mothers of the slain soldiers wept during closing arguments as prosecutors flashed pictures of their dead bodies on a screen. When a prosecutor pointed at Akbar, nearly yelling that he was responsible, Akbar sipped from a coffee mug. The mothers declined to comment after the verdict, as did Akbar's parents.
