Terror Trial Suspect: Keep Jews Off The Jury

2010_1_siddiqui.jpg

A woman accused of trying to kill American soldiers and FBI agents in Afghanistan begged a Manhattan federal judge to give jurors genetic tests to make sure they aren't Jews. "If they have a Zionist or Israeli background...they are all mad at me," said Aafia Siddiqui. "I have a feeling everyone here is them — subject to genetic testing....They should be excluded if you want to be fair."

Siddiqui — a Brandeis and MIT-educated Pakistani — allegedly picked up an M-4 Army rifle and fired two shots at Americans who tried to question her in Afghanistan in July 2008. According to the Daily News, she shouted "Allah Akbar" and vowed to kill Americans before she was detained. Investigators reportedly found two pounds of poisonous sodium cyanide, notes and documents on how to build chemical and biological weapons, and lists of potential terror targets including the Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, the Empire State Building, and the Brooklyn Bridge.

Siddiqui allegedly stated she was "boycotting the trial" because "there are too many injustices." She also repeatedly refused to speak to her own lawyers and told Judge Richard Berman: "I don't trust you either." After she threw a handwritten note to prosecutors begging for time each day to pray, the judge ruled she could leave the courtroom at 3:30 pm for 15 minutes of prayer. He also ruled that jurors will not see evidence regarding the chemicals or the "mass-produced documents from 'how-to' terror manuals," and tossed evidence about her alleged Al Qaeda connections because it might cause bias. Siddiqui could still turn out having a courthouse reunion with her ex-husband and ex-uncle-in-law, terror suspects Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.

    I hate to be the voice of reason here, And some people here may hate me for saying this . But The Arabs and Jews have been fighting each other for centuries . The only reason all these terrorist keep trying to bomb us to hell is because we protect, and shelter the Jews ! If this Country took a realistic stance and said "Look we understand our point of view , As well as the Arabs Views , But we want nothing to do with your Civil War "! "Keep that shit to yourselves over there "! It's painfully Acute that this woman is both very bright , as well as encourageably stupid ! It doesn't matter what college she went too . Her Assertion regarding the "jew free jury " was both tactfully enlightening, and Extremely Racist . But wasn't that the point ? In her mind the only way she can get off would be if there are no jews on the jury to convict her . Foolish Yes, Will it make a difference ? Nope She's still gonna burn, Just not for her attempt to kill the innocent . More like for Aspiring to comment the act through affiliation !

    she should also be charged with racial hate crimes for discriminating in open court against jew jurors.

    where can i get this genetic test to see if i have any jew blood in me?

    @jpeditor - I didn't say just pick any one thing off the list in isolation. All of these things have to be done together. The reason there is perpetual conflict is because there are no clear boundaries, so both sides keep crossing into each other's territory and claiming it as their own. That's why there need to be clear borders and separate nations. The ambiguous lines of separation lead to perpetual struggle. The Palestinian and Israelis can both be armed as much as they want, but without being able to cross borders, it won't matter. Because of the situation now, there is too much border crossing, and thus too much fighting.



    With my plan, border crossing is ended. There is no "pincer" on Israel any more than there was already, and Israel is much, much stronger than Gaza and the West Bank, so that's a non-issue.

  • jpeditor

    Your "ideas" are nothing but smoke to take land and security from Israel and give it to Arabs who you are either one of or they willl cut your head off when they are done with useful idiots like you.

    its a well documented fact that israel employes commenters on blogs to shout pro israeli biblical crap.

    How to make peace in Israel:

    1) Move Israeli settlers out of Gaza Strip, West Bank, and Jerusalem

    2) Release Palestinian hostages from Israeli prisons

    3) Recognize Gaza Strip and West Bank each as a separate, independent nation, and remove all Israeli forces from both areas.

    4) Establish a demilitarized zone and security wall along borders between Israel and the two new countries.

    5) If necessary, park UN peacekeepers on the borders between Israel and the two new countries, to stop invasion by either side.

    6) All three countries can then feel free to control and block immigration and travel into their countries however they want.

    7) Profit!

  • jpeditor

    How to make peace in Israel:

    1) Move Israeli settlers out of Gaza Strip,



    DONE THAT AND HAMAS LAUNCHED AND STILL LAUNCHES thousands of missiles into Israel, so onlyh a MORON would suggest that giving up further land in the West Bank, and Jerusalem would lead to peace.



    2) Release Palestinian hostages from Israeli prisons



    Yes, so they can continue to kill Jewish women and children - after all, the schmuckistinians are running out of their own women and children to blow up the Jews.



    3) Recognize Gaza Strip and West Bank each as a separate, independent nation, and remove all Israeli forces from both areas.



    Oh yeah, let them have a PINCER on Israel.



    4) Establish a demilitarized zone and security wall along borders between Israel and the two new countries.



    Obowmao is ARMING the palies you are so behind the times.



    5) If necessary, park UN peacekeepers on the borders between Israel and the two new countries, to stop ISRAEL FROM DEFENDING ITSELF, becausewe all know how effective the UN is...



    I have a question for you. How is that 1.5 million arabs are allowed to live in Israel but NO JEWS ARE ALLOWED TO LIVE IN THE PA TERRITORY?



    Here's a better idea - move the palis to JORDAN where they already have a country. And move that abomination off the Temple Mount.

  • potsmoker

    i guess rules only apply when talking about jews but doesnt apply when commenters talk about muslims.



    Bertram Russel was a communist turd like you who sucked muslim butt becuase the party told him to.



    No one GAVE "palestine" to the Jews, there was no "palestine" until the Romans expelled most (NOT ALL) of the Jews 600 years before MoHAMhead was a nightmare who should have dribbled down his father's and the camels leg.



    ISRAEL was a NATION WITH A CAPITAL millenia before Arabs stopped humping rocks and camels.





  • wingedearth

    Also, Palestinians aren't really Arabs. They're Palestinians (i.e. Philistines). There are lots of people who get called "Arabs" these days, and though they and the Hebrews were all once part of the same Semitic race, they're were different peoples. There's the Syrians, the Assyrians, the Egyptians, the Philistines, the Canaanites (i.e. Phoenicians), and others. They get lumped together as "Arabs" today because of their Muslim religion, but it's not quite accurate.



    Israel was a nation with a capital at one time, but it didn't last long. Mostly, the Israelites and Canaanites fought and took turns ruling each other (except during the reign of Solomon who temporarily reunited them) until the Babylonians and Assyrians conquered them all, only to themselves get conquered by the Aryan Medes and Persians.



    There are lots of peoples in the Near East and Middle East, and they've all been there for a long time.

  • wingedearth

    Way to cite to a Zionist propaganda site to try to disprove history. Palestinians didn't just emerge from the ground in 1948. Read an online Bible, do a keyword search for the word "Philistine". That's them. They existed in the past. Here's more about them:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philistines



    The Palestinians are real Semites, so if you're opposed to their existence, you're an Antisemite.

  • wingedearth

    @potsmoker - That's not true. In ancient times, before there were Hebrews, the land that is now called Israel was a smattering of city-states, some owned by Canaanites, some by Syrians, some by Philistines (i.e. Palestinians). The Hebrews were formed later as an offshoot of Canaanites who invaded Egypt.



    Since the end of the Crusades, the land was called Palestine and owned by Turks, until after World War I when the Turks lost it and the Palestinians formed their own state. In 1948 Palestinians lost their state to Zionists backed by Britain, who had been resettled in Palestine after World War II (and some Jews who were resettled in Palestine by Nazi Germany, who worked with the Zionists toward creating a Jewish homeland).

    whats your point? personally I like Jewish culture. I like Jewish people. That doesn't mean I have to support Israel when they violate the HUMAN rights of other people. IMPORTANT: Human rights apply to all people. Even Muslims.



    You should also read up on Ethnocentrism.

    'Ethnocentrism is the tendency to believe that one's ethnic or cultural group is centrally important, and that all other groups are measured in relation to one's own. The ethnocentric individual will judge other groups relative to their own particular ethnic group or culture, especially with concern to language, behavior, customs, and religion. These ethnic distinctions and sub-divisions serve to define each ethnicity's unique cultural identity.'

    here's what Bertrand Russell said about Palestine. All due respect but he's much smarter than you.



    "The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was "given" by a foreign power to another people for the creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With every new conflict their numbers increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty? It is abundantly clear that the refugees have every right to the homeland from which they were driven, and the denial of this right is at the heart of the continuing conflict. No people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled en masse from their country; how can anyone require the people of Palestine to accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate? A permanent just settlement of the refugees in their homeland is an essential ingredient of any genuine settlement in the Middle East".

    So by your logic the roots of this are, what, 1 year old (war in Gaza)? 10 years old (Intifada II as a result of Sharon going to the Temple Mount)? Since establishment of Israel in '48? About a 100 since the partition plan? Where does it start and where does it end? When do the Palestinians start to make the best of a bad situation? When does the education, employment, religious freedom, freedom of press, autonomy, etc start?



    The world is tired of the Palestinians because they refuse to help themselves. Your leader dies before he can deliver the peace he promised and takes billions upon billions dollars with him (and you're still living in refugee camps) and you're now ruled by a terrorist group (In Gaza, not the West Bank) that won't let you utter one single word to oppose them and certainly won't let you take up arms when they oppress you?

    Brandeis was founded by Jews, stupid. Named after the first Jewish Supreme Court justice Louis Brandeis.



    Also, in her defense, I don't think it's a bad idea to remove the jews from the jury pool. They may pre-judge her before facts are known, thereby tainting the pool and ultimately the verdict. It's up to the defense to try their hardest to see this is done.



    what would you say if there were Muslims on the jury? What's fair is fair.

  • JenChungsBaby

    But she's not on trial for anything involving Jews. She shot at two Americans in Afghanistan. I guess we should remove all Americans from the jury pool too.

    you totally missed the point (as per usual).



    thanks, Human, for the assist.

  • JenChungsBaby

    I understood your point, I just don't agree with it. Like I said, you might as well just remove all Americans. Especially since as we seem to agree Americans are likely to be biased against accused terrorists.



    I wouldn't preclude anyone from serving on the jury based on their religion unless she was accused of blowing up a synagogue or church or something like that. That includes Muslims.

  • BDS=(Boycott.Divest.Sanction)

    just so you know...there is near universal belief amongst people in the middle east that the US is attacking them at the behest of israel...thats why Iraqis burn israeli flags and chant about zionists. americans are the only people who think these wars dont have to do with israel.

    Oh sure, ever act of terror was done because of the situation in Gaza. Nope, it's never mass unemployment in the Arab world, or shitty health care, or the fact that Arab religious and political leaders refuse to allow their people to join the modern world and will gladly massacre their own people when their rule is threatened. Nope, but be the situation in Gaza. The current uprising in Iran? That's Israel's fault too I suppose - or at least that's what the violent and oppressive Iranian gov't is telling us, and it seems that you believe it too.



    You hold the same logic that the corrupt Arab gov'ts have been breast-feeding their people forever: No matter what we deny you, no matter how many of our own people we massacre, no matter how long we refuse to allow you to join the modern world, it's always Israel's fault.

  • wingedearth

Why don't you tell us, should the muslims nations surrounding Israel become more like Israel, or the other way around? 1300 years of nothing but GARBAGE since moHAMhead. Islam doesn't mean peace, it means SUBMISSION. Well we aren't your dhimmie, ACHMED, so stop posing as a "human".

    The only time I talk to a near easterner is when I get in a cab or buy a magazine, and then only briefly.

  • NannyState

    It's nice to see you get your worldview from terrorists, asshole.

  • BDS=(Boycott.Divest.Sanction)

    Fuckwad, I am talking about 1000 years ago. I promise, whatever idiocy is in that youtube, it has nothing to fucking do with what what I am talking about. If you think the middle east was angry about Israelis in 1000 AD you have problems.

  • BDS=(Boycott.Divest.Sanction)

    oh you're talking about what happened a 1K years ago? Not the people being occupied and killed NOW...Which is what this is about.



    There are lots of people who will waste time talking about how the old testament and how it calls for ethnic cleanings...



    'Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.'



    or others who will quote all the rambling as the Koran. This is STUPID. People do this so they can demean the other group of people. So they can ignore and distract attention from what is actually going on today...which is not complicated.



    you want to close your eyes and pretend its all some black and white, good vs islam battle...by all means, be a schmuck.

  • nicemarmot

    Okay, you're a moron. Please refrain from putting words into my mouth, or saying things which you claim I said but never actually did. If you actually understood my comment, you would understand that in general I actually agree with you. However, your stupidity is causing me to think that maybe I was wrong all along and I shouldn't hate the Israelis (which I do.) It's like when you go vote and you can't decide because both the candidates are so awful, so you find as many idiots as you can and ask who they're voting for, so you can vote for the other candidate.

  • longacre

  • youngpro

  • FelixtheCat & Christine Quinn'

    Oh, you're welcome for that education, nutbag.

  • texinyc

    Religion is a choice, not a gene. How is someone who was smart enough to get into MIT not aware of that?

  • wingedearth

    Religion may be a choice, but Judaism is more of a race than a religion. That's why, under Jewish law and in Israel, people are not considered Jewish unless their mother and grandmother are Jewish.
