He wanted to commit mass murder in the name of Islam and jihad, and now he wants taxpayers to provide him clothing that reflects those same religious beliefs. And when Judge Scriven granted him permission not to stand when she entered, was she aware of the fact that Osmakac’s remaining seated signifies that he doesn’t respect Infidel laws or authorities, but only the law of Allah, and would consider standing for an American judge tantamount to idolatry — showing respect that is due only to Allah. It is, in other words, a statement of complete disrespect for and rejection of the authority of the court and of U.S. law in general. As such, it should never have been permitted in a U.S. court. But the willful ignorance is all-pervasive.
Oh, and Sami Osmakac is not an Arab. It isn’t Arab clothing he wants to wear. It’s Islamic clothing.
“Man asks court to provide Arab clothing during Tampa trial,” by Elaine Silvestrini, Tampa Tribune, May 23, 2014 (thanks to Teresa):
TAMPA — Sami Osmakac is asking taxpayers to provide him traditional Arab clothing for him to wear when he goes on trial next week on charges he plotted a terrorist attack in Tampa.
Osmakac’s lawyer told a federal magistrate this morning that Osmakac’s family doesn’t want to pay to clothe him in a robe garment called a thobe and a head wrap known as a keffiyeh. Lawyer George Tragos said he couldn’t say why Osmakac wants to wear the clothes. U.S. Magistrate Anthony Porcelli planned to confer with District Judge Mary Scriven about what clothing might be available for Osmakac to wear.
The judge has previously given Osmakac permission not to stand when the judge or jury enters the courtroom because of his religious beliefs. Potential jurors will be asked whether they can still be fair to him, given that belief.
Osmakac was also found competent to stand trial, after a court-appointed expert concluded he is able to proceed.
Jury selection is scheduled to start Tuesday, and the trial is expected to last up to four weeks, including jury selection.
Authorities allege Osmakac plotted to blow up a popular Tampa night spot and then take hostages and demand the release of Islamic prisoners. He was arrested as part of an FBI sting.
The defense maintains Osmakac was entrapped and that he was vulnerable to influence because of his mental illness.
The defense also asserts that Osmakac was targeted by the FBI partly because of his “radical” Islamic beliefs.

When are we going to stop catering to these Islamic miscreants. Enough is enough.
To the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas" says
I’ll always be a Qu’far

For all eternity.

Jo says
The “catering and giving into these demands WILL stop, when the Judges do NOT make exceptions for those who stand before them.” And STAND HE SHOULD, OTHERWISE PUT HIM IN A HOLDING CELL-OUT OF THE COURTROOM.
Rhonda says
I agree! She should have told him that in order for the session to continue, he must show respect to the judge and to the courtroom, and if he refused, he would be sent to solitary confinement until he changed his mind. JUST SAY NO TO POLITICAL CORRECTNESS! It will be one of the issues that drives this country into the toilet.
Quotha Raven says
Rachel, dear: For you to use the future tense, as in “political correctness will bring the country down” (or words to that effect), makes me think you must be very young. Political Correctness is a toxic, cancerous assault on free speech fundamental to the life of our republic. It took hold in colleges and universities some 25 years ago and now has free speech in a death grip. How this non-law convention became the law of the land continues to flummox me, and I cannot see how this damage can ever be undone, especially as our public education system from pre-K right on through, has morphed into a horrifyingly effective propaganda mill that renders the vast majority of American children incapable of critical thought; students are passive, manipulated into embracing a transformation of the greatest sovereign nation the world has known into a third world country with a totalitarian, fascist (known cozily to the PC crowd as “crony capitalism”) government. Helas! Thanks also to ignorant, PC judges, we are SO vulnerable to being infiltrated by bizzy jihadists like this fool here.
Quotha Raven says
Sorry, Rhonda – I meant Rhonda, not Rachel! qr
RG says
Ahemmm!!! If this were me demanding to remain seated in front of this judge, because “it violates my Christian beliefs”, I would become the biggest laughing stock in all of North America, and the judge would charge me with “Contempt of Court” and throw my case out the window!
This judge should be disbarred for even considering to grant such a bogus petition! Talk about the inmates running the asylum!!!!!
proud Islamofobe says
They do not throw a cade out of the window as that means you have no case to answer and you walk free!
John C says
You now should be able to sit now as the precedent has been set.
rhonda says
Absolutely correct!

This fool needs to be thrown into prison for contempt of court. His demands for special clothing is nothing but trying to implement sharia.
On another note… both Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller were maligned recently as promoters of white Islamophobia… at the White Privilege Conference in Wisconsin.
First- I’m a big fan of Mr. Spencer’s research, scholarship and resolve in making the world aware of Islamic supremacism. I am a disabled American Indian of more than one tribal affiliation. With that being said… I am VERY AWARE that if Islam takes control in the West and specifically USA… I will be one of the first people tossed to the Islamic crocodile. Indigenous people DO NOT fair well in Islamic societies. Also, with the backwards mentality in medicine and health… as a disabled person; I can say a Muslim society isn’t a place for me either.
That being said… I think either Mr. Spencer or Ms. Pamela Geller mentioned how at the recent “White Privilege Conference” held in Wisconsin… the two of them were mentioned in regard to being the “boogey men” for the presentation on Islamophobia.
I checked out the sites about this conference and was able to open information about that specific workshop. Guess what! The description of what the topic was about was a huge eye opener. The speaker who described himself among other things as being into “hiphop.” His official description includes he is Associate Director of Multi-Ethnic Affairs at the University of Michigan. He is a “hip hop activist” and “spoken word poet” and his name is Amer Ahmed.
The workshop “White American Islamophobia” has a description of this “problem. ” The kicker is the workshop states an attack on a Sikh Temple in 2012 Wisconsin and how Miss America of 2014 was Indian-America (she was Hindu). The latter was some foolish racist people on Twitter. It did not hinder or stop her reign as Miss America when she was mistaken to be a Muslim. Then there is a vague reference to “racial profiling, bullying and hate crimes.”
FYI… Rima Fakin reigned as Miss USA 2010 and was Muslim Lebanese. Gee I guess America is against Muslims… when a Muslim wins a coveted beauty queen title. Miss USA 2010 was not listed in the workshop description.
Mr. Spencer… this W-A-I workshop CANNOT EVEN LIST INSTANCES OF ANTI-ISLAM ACTIONS IN AMERICA… in its description. It mentions Sikh and Hindu! Yet, this Islamophobia is a problem?
Just thought you’d like to know that the W-A-I workshop that demonized Mr. Spencer couldn’t mention any actual anti-Islamic hate or incidents that involved Muslims. Check it out yourself if you don’t believe me.
bill says
Good point about indegenous peoples. When I was in Brunei, which you will notice has just introduced sharia for everybody! The Muslim kids were bussed to school while the native tribal people children trudged along in the dust. This was just one example of discrimination. Of course if they converted they got all the same rights, which were many, as the Muslims population. However that meant they must live away from their relatives and friends to ab void contagion. The Christians were also not allowed to gather in groups for worship either.
Thus the non Muslims were under constant pressure to convert.
Jaladhi says
From which Islamic country this scum was allowed to come here?? If he was born here, I sure his parents migrated from some Islamic hell hole. Our leaders still don’t see what is wrong with allowing Muslims to come here!! Morons!!
Arjay says
Bill, thank you for the facts and what you witnessed in Brunei about the indigenous people (and also about the Christian minority). I did not know this was happening to the indigenous populations there.
This just adds to the long list of “indigenous people” who have felt the Islamic wave in the last 1400 years. However, even with all this… I still know a few American Indians who go along with the “Palestine/Fakestine” crap… and then among my Indigenous friends from other nations… a Maori friend stated that around 3000 Maori have converted to Islam. My friend is absolutely HORRIFIED over this and I share that horror.
I can give other examples of Indigenous people who rally against Islam and reject Muslim lies and who have been brutalized by sharia and Muslim immigration or outright take-overs. Yet there are still Indigenous folks who seem to ally with a force THAT WILL EVENTUALLY KILL THEM. I don’t understand the latter.
As someone who is not white, I am also going to say the following…
EUROPE WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. Too many white Europeans are about to participate in their own genocide.
Also, when I go about my day- to work, go to the grocery store or the post office… guess what! It is the 21st century. I do not look behind my shoulder to see if a Union cavalry man in blue is about to shoot me. European and those societies with European immigration (Australia, Canada, Argentina, New Zealand, and other places… many in the New World)) have gone through amazing changes.
That is why even with the troubled past and the turmoil that rose from it including killings from both sides… I have to state this as an American Indian.
I am glad I live in the Western Hemisphere, the “New World” and the specifically the United States.
The Western Civilizations have changed and evolved. The Islamic World for the last 1400 years has remained the same- murderous and evil… and is getting worse and now is gearing up for a world wide caliphate.
This “racial minority and indigenous person” is rejecting all the Islam is peace crap and throwing myself behind the Western World and its Allies.
PS Did you know that among us “Native” people, who do talk about the horrors and problems world wide Islam poses… that we are referring to whites in Belgium, Wales, Malmo (Sweden), Germany, Amsterdam (Netherlands), etc… as Indigenous people of Europe. We are aware that there is an EVIL outside force (Islam) that is rapidly outnumbering the native ethnic white people in Europe.
Bet you only thought you would only hear a white KKK fool from Stormfront saying something like that? Well, I AM NOT WHITE, nor a member of the KKK and am don’t go to Stormfront.
PLEASE EUROPE YOU ARE WORTH SAVING.
D.C. Watson says
I think it might be a good thing that I’m not a judge. I’d let the miserable little prick stay seated as myself and the jury entered the courtroom, and then make him stand up throughout the rest of each day until the trial ends.
D.C. Watson says
As far as his attire goes, he can stand there all day long wearing nothing but a Depends, a pink one if they make them.
PRCS says
Give him a pair of pajamas.
john spielman says
either give him capri pants to wear ( like the taliban ), or the orange single piece jump suit, either -adorned with shackles and handcuffs

Wellington says
Making allowances for religious beliefs is a time-honored tradition in Anglo-American law. For instance, Quakers in the 18th century were allowed in some British American colonies (particularly Pennsylvania and Delaware) to take an “affirmation” in a court of law that they would tell the truth rather than having to take an “oath.” In Pennsylvania to this day the Amish are exempted from having to send their children to school past the 8th grade, again for religious reasons. However, such religious exceptions to the law have been made for religious folk who did not use their religious beliefs as a cover for a political ideology, and a totalitarian one at that, and which aims to replace all constitutional and legal systems with its own——-and other shit like conquering all the earth and subduing non-believers, blah, blah, blah.
Huge difference. People like Quakers of old and the Amish today just want to be left alone. Such folks have never wanted to impose their views on life on others. By contrast, Islam is a complete control-freak ideology which is inimical to basic freedoms, possessed of a contempt for any legal system but its own, and which wants to take over all the earth. As such, exemptions for it by Common Law or other Western legal systems (read Roman Law here) should not be made. No, not at all. After all, just as the American Constitution is not a suicide pact, neither should decent legal systems like Common Law or Roman Law be either.
This judged erred in allowing this cretin to sit, though I doubt she will ever comprehend why she erred. A lack of knolwedge is often a terrible thing. A dearth of knowledge of Islam is often more than terrible. It’s many times lethal. Were I the judge here, I would demand he stands like everyone else when I enter. If he didn’t, then I’d have the bastard tried in absentia.
mortimer says
Would a Nazi be charged with contempt of court? Would the KKK be charged with contempt of court? Would a Maoist be charged with contempt of court? Why?
Supremacists are dissimilar to Quakers or Amish. The Quakers and Amish believe in EQUALITY, while Osmakac believes he is SUPERIOR to the judge.
The reasoning of Osmakac must be analyzed to determine whether or not it may be considered contempt! It most certainly IS CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Quotha Raven says
Wellington, you old darling! After doing my best to absorb Robt Spencer’s Islam 101, I’ve been a subscriber and perused JW every day for a few years. I’ve come to revere a couple of seasoned commenters as articulate, reasonable and compelling. You are so at the top of that list! Thank you for your reasoned input once again. Your approach always reduces the bile that wells up in me when I read about some of the more egregious gifts given by ignorant judges and politicians to the enemy of our country. It is grim indeed to watch these people simply piss away the Constitution and founding principles of the dear old USA.
Wellington says
Thank you for your kind words, Quotha Raven. JW is fortunate to have many shrewd and knowledgeable regular commenters. Some who come to mind are gravenimage, dda, duh_swami (he’s often very funny), Champ, EYESOPEN, Jay Boo, mortimer, voegelinian, Salah, Bradamante, awake, MIrren 10, Reality Check, Istanbul Chick, John C. Barlie, thomas_h, Kepha, john spielman——-ah, the list is a long one. And it’s getting longer as the years have gone by. Of course, greatest credit has to go to Robert Spencer, founder of JW, and whom I consider one of the truly outstanding Americans of our time. What a fearless champion of freedom he is.
laura r says
im back im repetitive. what a waste of time. spencer reports month after month. the readers do the shouldshould dance. and?? and what? are you all deaf dumb & naive or plain stupid?? THIS IS THE WAY IT IS! the courts have thier own standard for muslms. what does it take to get the message across. robert s. deserves better. there is no solution, thats a fact. face up to it.
Foolster says
“give up” is not a sane position for someone on the side of freedom to take.
JIMJFOX says
You NEED a crash course in English.
Concerned says
There is a solution, but you have to be brave enough to take it.
We are being confronted by something alien to us (islam).
It does not play by our rules..in fact it wants us to play it’s game instead and us infidels (own that name people) are to be subjugated is the goal.
Screw that.
muslims are prepared to fight and die and get all rowdy and throw some punches.
The west is not…yet.
Call your local politician, write letters, get a core group of people established, get vocal, engage muslims, encourage others to do the same.
You can see this is happening in Europe…when the tv says anti- immigration, they just can’t admit it means anti-islam.
Cheers.
Champ says
Judge Scriven is setting a really bad precedent …
“Authorities allege Osmakac plotted to blow up a popular Tampa night spot and then take hostages and demand the release of Islamic prisoners.” — headline
And obama has stated that we are not at war with islam, but islam and company are obviously at war with us.
Jeff says
He should have been held in contempt. What a disgrace of a judge.
rev g says
In light of the impositions historically heaped upon dhimmi’s, the concept of standing when a judge enters is a non-event. Contempt of court, return to his cell, and rescheduling of the appearance date is in order. After enough iterations, just make sure there is no chair available for him in the court.
pdxnag says
Would showing respect for an imam also be tantamount to idolatry? An imam is also not the fictional character Allah.
citycat says
Allah is a low level entity absorbing energy from muslims
mark says
How about buying him a rope to hang around his neck? Many of us would be willing to pay for it. And how about buying the judge a one-way ticket to Qatar?
Concerned says
Exactly.
Its a secular court not a sharia court.
Damn religious nut job’s.
Looks like he’ll be eating pork in prison though…
Cheers.

Robert stated thus:
Indeed, Sir.
Just one more example showing wherever Islam is practiced, Islam will be practiced.

Osmakac is mentally ill and targetted by FBI because of his “radical” islamic beliefs?
Drop the radical, Islam is a free ticket to subjugate,rape, plunder and kill non-believers with impunity. Allah, the non existent God of Muslims, demands this from his followers as an entrance ticket to paradise.
From a Western civilized point of view, anyone who believes this nonsense must be a basket case.

I thought there was one rule for all.
They changed the rules in Australia for Muslims where a person witnessing the signature of a person whose face you could not see because they were wearing a face covering says they has a reason for not showing there face.

He should of been kicked so hard in his six he wouldn’t be able to sit for a week . More trash let them watch their trails on closed circuit TV they don’t need to be given the opportunity to insult judges or anyone else enough with the special treatment for wanna be mass murders

These Islamists are quickly learning that insanity and ‘my religion allows me to do this’ are get out of jail free cards, when faced with these liberal and PC judges. They are a;so very skilled at using the Constituition which they wish to destroy as a tool to get them off.
Cindy says
This is a load of crap. They let these thugs get away with everything. If they don’t want to stand …. oh, well do what you want. Just like at the military trial where he didn’t want to shave his beard and they didn’t make him plus they let him continue to collect his pay; that should have been given to his victims. They are still ing with NO help from this administration. Do you think we would get away with this??? Hell no!!!!!!!
myflbeach says
Standing for a Judge or Jury does NOT compromise this perps Religious Beliefs’ not in any ‘meaningful way’. He is saying that Islam trumps our Judicial system; our Laws; and anyone who is NOT a Muslim. By sitting; he messages HIS superiority over all in that Court! This we need NOT cater to. And what a degraded level of ignorance is it; that this Judge allows such. Not to mention; ‘dangereous’. . .These are OUR Courts, not theirs. These are OUR laws, not theirs. If they cannot live by our ‘sword’. . .so be it. They are free to leave. But of course; they will not. Their ‘caliphate’ vision, keeps them here. And those like this Judge; are the enablers of such.
Good God, America; the freaking Libs are destroying our Country faster than the Islamists, who are trying to. . Wake, WAKE the ‘less-than-holy’ UP!
XYZ says
Why dont we all refuse to stand up then how about if we start saying we only stand for Jesus or the Jews stand only for the messiah.. wonder what the courst would do to us..
stupid shit public servants
need to be shot..
and obama the muslim pig decides to fund more terror.. give more money to paki dogs to attack India.. congrats u dumb ass.. take ur family and move to saudi arabia obama.. make ur daughters slaves to the islamists and see how they rape ur wife and daughter
