The federal prison system strives to
accommodate inmates' religious beliefs, when possible, but it can't allow daily
group prayer for American Taliban fighter John Walker Lindh and other Muslims
because of security and logistical concerns, the prison system's head chaplain
said.
The rule allowing only supervised group prayer at federal prisons
was put in place following a 2004 Inspector General's Office report that raised
concerns about efforts to radicalize Muslim inmates after the Sept. 11 attacks,
Michael R. Smith Sr., the U.S. Bureau of Prisons' chief chaplain, testified
Monday. Lindh, who aided the Taliban during the 2001 U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan,
is one of 24 Muslims among the 43 inmates in the prison unit.
Lindh claims the prison policy flouts a 1993 law restraining the government from
curtailing religious expression without showing it has a compelling interest.
What this fuck fails to realize is that law applies to the Genevia Convention and not non military combatiants so the convention law does not apply to you fucks you lost that when you commited the act of treason bitch.
The government claims in court documents that Lindh delivered a radical sermon
to other Muslim prisoners in February. It also says he delivered the sermon
entirely in Arabic, which is not allowed under Bureau of Prison regulations that
require all speech but ritual prayers to be in English.
Again our laws they do not care about so why are they still breathing mainly the one who was caught firing a weapon on U.S. military.
In 2001, Lindh was captured in Afghanistan by U.S. troops and accused of
fighting for the Taliban. Raised Catholic, the California native was 12 when he
saw the movie "Malcolm X" and became interested in Islam. He converted to Islam
at age 16. Walker told Newsweek after his capture that he had entered
Afghanistan to help the Taliban build a "pure Islamic state."
In 2002,
Lindh pleaded guilty to supplying services to the now-defunct Taliban government
and carrying explosives for them. He had been charged with conspiring to kill
Americans and support terrorists, but those charges were dropped in a plea
agreement. He was transferred to the Terre Haute prison in 2007.He is eligible
for release in 2019.
Fuck that If he is released I will gun him down my self what is a jury going to do to me nothing.
