"The court is illegal and the trial is only to appease your lords the Jews and Christians"

So say a group of jihadists on trial in Yemen -- once again claiming the mantle of Islamic purity, a claim so far unchallenged by any significant aggregation of Muslim reformists in Yemen or anywhere else. "Group says trial is to 'appease' US," by Nasser Arrabyee for Gulfnews (thanks to Sr. Soph):

Sana'a: A group on trial charged with supporting the armed rebellion led by supporters of the late Badr Al Deen Al Houthi say their trial is to satisfy the Americans and Israelis.

"Our position is clear on this trial. We do not recognise it because the court is illegal and the trial is only to appease your lords the Jews and Christians," a defendant told the court from behind bars.

Fifteen people, including two women, are on trial, accused of forming an armed gang to carry out acts against military and security officials and governmental institutions in Yemen.

Prosecutor Khalid Al Mawri showed items confiscated from the group including grenades, detonators, poison, acids, explosives and mobile phones...

Sounds to me like they don't have one bit of evidence against the defendants. Cut these fifteen people loose, Your Honor!

Sounds like they were all set for an inner spiritual struggle...

I'm certainly happy that these trials are to apease the US. We need more apeasement.

Appease us some more. Go to jail. Stay there.

These childish arguments are in the same vain as; "...but everyone else is doing it..." "...we were fighting the great Satan even though it looked different..." "...don't blame us, we are just following orders..." "...but, but the Koran..."

Always a blame shift so they can't be held responsible. Islam has perfected this to a fine art. It's not murder if its non-Muslim. Laying for the greater cause. SAD VERY SAD.

Glad the Judge judges righteously and not by allah's standard.

Romans 3:4-6
... Though everyone else in the world is a liar, God is true. As the Scriptures say, "He will be proved right in what he says, and he will win his case in court." "But," some say, "our sins serve a good purpose, for people will see God's goodness when he declares us sinners to be innocent. Isn't it unfair, then, for God to punish us?" (That is actually the way some people talk.) Of course not! If God is not just, how is he qualified to judge the world?

الرومان 3:4-6
... على الرغم من اى شخص اخر فى العالم هو كذاب ، والله صحيح. وكما يقول الكتاب المقدس ، "انه سيتم ثبت الحق في ما يقوله ، وقال انه سيفوز في قضيته في المحكمه." "ولكن" البعض يقول ، "ذنوبنا طيبة تخدم الغرض ، لشعب سيرى الله الخير عندما يعلن خطأه لنا انه بريء. أليس الجاءره ، ثم ، لمعاقبة الله لنا؟" (وهذا هو في الواقع طريقة بعض الناس الحديث.) طبعا لا! اذا كان الله هو ليس فقط ، وكيف انه هو مؤهل للحكم على العالم؟
