The Railroading of Tariq Mehanna Continues |
|
by Anonymous, |
|
The U.S. legal system says we are presumed innocent until proven guilty, but Tariq Mehanna joins the many defendants who have not enjoyed this presumption. In our post-9/11 world, it is a widely accepted notion that devout Muslims are conspiring to commit acts of terrorism and violence. The legal system, backed by public opinion, can easily hold Muslims for crimes that are connected to the defendants with little or no evidence, and Massachusetts is not immune to this pattern. |

|
by Lloyd Hart, dadapop (nospam) dadapop.com |
