Still more Islamophobia. Oh, when will it end? "Pakistani man tied to Times Square bomber pleads guilty," by Basil Katz for Reuters, August 19 (thanks to all who sent this in):
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Pakistani immigrant pleaded guilty on Thursday in federal court to running an illegal money-transfer business that provided $7,000 to the man who tried to bomb New York's Times Square.Mohammad Younis, 45, was charged in September, five months after Faisal Shahzad was arrested for parking a crude car bomb in the crowded Times Square on May 1, 2010. A bomb squad ultimately defused the device.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan said in the indictment that Younis met with Shahzad on April 10 last year and gave him the money sent by people in Pakistan as part of an informal "hawala" money transaction common in Islamic societies.
On Thursday, Younis pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court to one count of conducting an unlicensed money transfer business. But Shahzad's name was not mentioned in court.
Younis told U.S. District Judge John Keenan that he did not know who he gave the money to or what the money was intended for. Prosecutors have not charged Younis with participating in or having any knowledge of Shahzad's planned attack....
"Pakistani immigrant"? More like Pakistani invader.
Hey, that Mayor Bloomberg was dead-on with this one, wasn't he?
For his bet of 25 cent, Mosk Mike predicted the profile of the people behind the would-be bombing of Times Square as being,
home-grown,
mentally deranged,
opposed to Obamacare,
Check,
Check,
Check,
Congrats, Mike, not everyone hits the trifecta.
So what's the penalty. I think he should be sentenced according to sharia lwa and beheaded in Times Square along with Faisal Shahzad. They will have their sharia implementation what they fervently desire most!!
Green, your average everyday run-of-the-mill Moslem Activist ain't insane. Not even Prez Mahmoud, who got away with running the embassy kidnapping in Tehran. Call us crazy, they say, you'll find out.

We must always respect other cultures, not be ignorant or xenophobic or anything like that. In the Panoply of Multiculturalism, nobody is more special than the Moslem.

Just axe Elena Kagan, she saw an opportunity and threw the Constitution under the bus and went ahaid and made special arrangements for Sharia banking on American soil.
Got promoted to the U.S. Supreme Court for her wisdom in that matter, in fact.
"Mosk Mike"
Great nic for Jewish Bloomberg, who supports and defends the people (Muslims) who hate his guts.
What an idiot you are, Mosk Mike. What a shame you are to New York and America.
"Younis told U.S. District Judge John Keenan that he did not know who he gave the money to or what the money was intended for."
Have you ever done anything like that?
Must happen all the time in Pakistan.
So, his defense was ignorance and stupidity?
Let's hope he told the truth to . . . someone.
