This is good, excerpts:
Last month a Yemeni judge, sitting on the state's special terrorism court, ruled that 19 defendants who had traveled to Iraq to kill American soldiers and fight alongside al Qaeda there had done nothing wrong.
Judge al-Baadani says that he couldn't have ruled any differently. Yemeni law -- a mixture of British colonial law, local ordinances and Islamic Sharia law -- is murky on the subject of when it is permissible for Yemenis to take up arms with fellow Muslims.
So these men, who went to Iraq to fight American “occupiers” did nothing wrong according to Yemeni law. The same law that is “murky” when it comes to killing Muslims? That statement and the fact that foreign fighters are responsible for some of the more horrific crimes against Iraqis implies that those 19 would have killed anyone who weren’t Muslim enough for their tastes.
These two quotes prove that this guy just doesn’t get it:
He says he has been "shocked" by the criticism of the verdict not just from the embassy, but from his family in the U.S.
According to American law, isn't it OK to fight with people of your own religion against the occupiers?" he asks. "I'd like to visit America to see how the U.S. handles this issue."
:wall:
I love the rationalization:
Throwing those men in jail would get rid of 19 bad people, but it would make enemies out of 19 million Yemenis.
Oh my hero! :sweetheart: Thank you for saving us from all you Yemeni barbarians. We all know they’re one court case away from taking up the sword of Allah to slay the infidel; ignorant peasants. :dizzy2: Anyone here from Yemen? How do you like how this guy views you?
I like this one the best:
Like most Yemeni men, the judge was dressed in a long white robe and carried a long curved dagger, called a Jambiya, which dangled from an ornately decorated belt.
For some reason Jambiya translates in my mind to Jambalaya and I can picture this guy in a straw hat married to his sister. Here come de judge, here come de judge! :disguise: :guitarist:
This guy is actually worse than the New England judge that sentenced a child rapist to probation.
