No doubt the charges against him are simply "Islamophobia." After all, look at Maher Hawash! Look at Sami Al-Arian! No, wait --
"Mumbai terror suspect Rana pleads 'not guilty' in Chicago: North Side man also is charged in plot on Danish cartoonist," by Natasha Korecki for the Chicago Sun-Times, January 25 (thanks to Choi):
A Chicago man pleaded not guilty this morning to charges that he took part in a terror conspiracy involving the deadly 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai, India, and in a plot that targeted a Danish newspaper cartoonist.Tahawwur Hussain Rana, 49, a North Side resident, also pleaded not guilty during an appearance in federal court in Chicago to a charge of providing material support to a designated terrorist group.
Rana faces up to a life sentence if convicted.
Rana is one of two Chicago men indicted this month on charges he had a hand in the attacks that left 166 people dead in Mumbai, as well as in planning an assault on a Danish newspaper cartoonist who sketched a drawing of the prophet Muhammad that was published in the Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten newspaper in Denmark. The cartoon offended much of the Islamic world, sparking riots.
The other man, David Coleman Headley, is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in Chicago.
Rana's attorney, Patrick Blegen, said Rana doesn't have the money to pay for the entirety his legal fees, which will be more substantial in a terrorism case. Rana is asking the judge in the case to make Blegen his court-appointed lawyer, which would mean taxpayers would ultimately pick up the bill.
Rana owns the Chicago-based immigration advisory business, First World Immigration, as well as a meat plant in Grundy County that slaughters animals according to Muslim tradition.
So why is he hurting for money?
Rana, who is being housed at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown Chicago, is appealing a ruling that says he must stay behind bars pending trial. He's seeking to be freed on bail.Blegen said his client has no intention of fleeing and leaving his family holding the bag. "He wants to fight this," Blegen said.
Of course!
David Coleman Headley, AKA Daood Sayed Gilani, is a Pakistani-American working out of Chicago.
He changed his Muslim name to a Judaeo-Christian name to hide his Muslim identity.
Wonder why?
North Side man also is charged in plot on Danish cartoonist
................................
"North Side man", huh? My husband is also a "North Side man", having grown up on Chicago's "Gold Coast" just blocks from Lake Michigan. That means he's a Cub's fan, loves the Field Museum, and has a fondness for Uno's and Gino's pizza.
Oddly, an urge to murder Infidels in Mumbai and Copenhagen never came into it.
They forgot to charge him with aiding and abetting Muhammadenism in taking over this country through immigration and feeding.
Americans are really generous.First they allow uneducated jihadists to settle in and snatch "local" persons jobs.Next the ordinary tax paying american citizen is forced to pay jihadist legal bills.The jail term for such jihadist is also indirectly subsidized by ordinary tax paying americans.Beware of Economic jihad unleashed on ordinary Americans.

"Graven Image":
The "North Side" referenced is the Far North Side "West Rogers Park/West Ridge" neighborhood including the Devon Ave area which is home to the Midwest's LARGEST Muslim(mainly Pakistani,Afghan,Indian Muslim,Bengledeshi,and some Arabs,Iranian/Persians,etc)Community.
The Highest ARAB concentrations(heavily Palestinian)are on the Southwest Side in the Marquette Park neighborhood and its adjoinining area(s) including the Suburb of Bridgeview and its Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood LINKED "Mosque Foundation".
OT, If your husband likes Uno's & Gino's , ask him about "Due's" & "Lou Malnati's".
