Noor Salman was the wife of Omar Mateen, who murdered 49 people in a jihad massacre that he said was for the Islamic State. The Orlando Sentinel reported on March 30, 2018 that “the foreman of the Noor Salman jury contacted the Orlando Sentinel with a statement about what the three days of deliberations were like for the 12 people who acquitted the widow of the Pulse shooter, Omar Mateen.” The foreman’s statement:
As foreperson of the jury in the Noor Salman trial I felt it important that I present a juror’s perspective of the verdicts. I am giving you my perspective, and not speaking for the entire jury. My initial inclination was not to communicate with the news media at all, however once I returned home a watched the news coverage of the reactions to the verdicts I felt compelled to at least clarify several misconceptions….
…I want to make several things very clear. A verdict of not guilty did NOT mean that we thought Noor Salman was unaware of what Omar Mateen was planning to do. On the contrary we were convinced she did know. She may not have known what day, or what location, but she knew. However, we were not tasked with deciding if she was aware of a potential attack. The charges were aiding and abetting and obstruction of justice. I felt the both the prosecution and the defense did an excellent job presenting their case. I wish that the FBI had recorded their interviews with Ms. Salman as there were several significant inconsistencies with the written summaries of her statements. The bottom line is that, based on the letter of the law, and the detailed instructions provided by the court, we were presented with no option but to return a verdict of not guilty.
But Keith Ellison, Hamas-linked CAIR’s Hassan Shibly, and “Islamophobia” propagandist Hatem Bazian can appear at this “black tie charity gala” alongside Noor Salman, knowing that they will suffer no fallout as a result, because the establishment media will cover for them. Imagine if a foe of jihad terror and Sharia oppression of women appeared at an event with the wife of someone who had killed 49 people in the name of any other cause: these same people — Ellison, Shibly, Bazian — would be leading the charge to defame and destroy that foe of jihad terror as a result. But this? No problem.

If you think back to the 1960’s and the movie Is Mississippi Burning, the people accused of killing 3 civil rights workers were tried in state court and acquitted. They were tried again in federal court under the law of Dual Sovereignty and convicted. Under federal law of conspiracy “The knowledge of [ANY] one member is the knowledge of all members; The acts of [ANY] one member are the acts of all members.” The federal district court case of United States v. Gary Greenough is the best, most concise explanation I have found to understand why this case should be prosecuted. It is available for free on the internet simply by searching United States v. Gary Greenough. The opinion is extremely well written and quite brief.

If I am present at a bank robbery and I have knowledge that the robbery is taking place, without more, am I a co-participant or co-conspirator? I don’t think so.

Sabri S. says
No…he is absolutely correct. Noor has a right to be anywhere public she chooses to be.
She was falsely accused of something by your infidel government, went through the sham court process (Federal at that), and was found NOT GUILTY. Being the spouse of someone who committed a heinous act is no reason to persecute the innocent surviving spouse. Muslims believe in justice, fair play, and the overall equal status of all of Muslim society (Ummah). It is in the Quran and the idea of Justice and obedience to God/Allah is a basic tenent of our faith. Muslims certainly don’t judge americans by the nonstop evil that your government commits throughout the world on a daily basis! Your systemic racist system is collapsing by the day, starting with the removal of your president next month. God, I cannot wait until we have a muslim president.

@sabri
Your moon god ‘allah’,your self-confessed false prophet muhammed{apbuh actual prophecy be unknown to him},your ‘holy’ koran with all the HOLES in the standard narrative and you fraudulently pious muslims do NOT subscribe to the Law that was given to Moses.
This is the Law given.
#1]Deut 6:4-9
#2]Lev 19:18
#3]The Exodus chpt 20 Decalogue
Jews and Christians subscribe to this law:you muslims do NOT.
Chief law#1 {Deut 6:4-9}is violated by allah giving permission to break the Decalogue.
Chief law #2 {Lev 19:18} is impossible in islam as the Jews are defined as a people ‘to be hated and despised’ {koran 2:65}Christians cursed for believing in Jesus{koran 9:30} and all non -muslims are classed as INFERIOR to muslims{koran 98:6} in the koran’s APARTHEID SYSTEM and due to islam’s Doctrine of HATE{al walaa wal baraa}
The fact that allah gives freedom to break the Law defeats the purpose of the Law.
The fact that allah MISSED the Golden Rule means that allah has NO IDEA as to the MEANING of the Law{Matthew 7 v12}
The fact that allah has a Doctrine of Hate{al walaa wal baraa} towards infidels and an Apartheid system that classifies non-muslims as ‘The WORST of created beings’ {koran 98:6} is a violation of Genesis 1:27{where all people are EQUAL before God}
It seems your moon god lah COMPLETLY MISSED the purpose and meaning of the Law of Moses didn’t he?
allah the BEST of deceivers:koran 3:54} certainly gives freedom to break it.
So don’t talk about Justice when islam curses Jews{koran 2:65},Christians{koran 9:30} and says all infidels are ‘the WORST OF CREATED BEINGS”{koran 98:6} and discriminates against ‘infidels’
The koran preaches DISOBEDIENCE to the Laws given to Moses.
The koran teaches INJUSTICE by discriminating against non-muslims{koran 98:6}
Fair play??In islam? “obedience to God”?
Are you kidding me?
And America has already had a muslim friendly president:obama,the worst POTUS in American History
I wouldn’t be too cocky muslim:you see you are the antichrist religion which in prophetic terms makes you in opposition to the Actual God.The fate of teh antichrist cult is clearly explained in a book allah CONFIRMS:no,not the koran-the Gospel{koran 3:3 koran 5:47}
None of this of course will you understand.

Why does Sabri S consider murdering Infidels heinous? He never has before.
And there was not enough evidence to determine that Noor Salman actively aided and abetted Omar Mateen–that *does not* mean that she was unaware of his murderous plan, as the juror makes quite clear.
More:

…………………………..
Read this carefully–Sabri S. is saying that there is overall equal status of all *Muslims*–not of any non-Muslims.
Muslims believe in abusing and murdering Infidels–Sabri S. himself has applauded Muslims beating Infidels in the street for daring to wear a skirt.
Note that he does not condemn his pious coreligionist for murdering the victims at Pulse Nightclub.

This is grimly hilarious–Sabri S. himself has said that Muslims have the right to wage Jihad against Americans and other Westerners for not submitting to Islam.
And America has already had a president born into the Muslim faith–but Obama was unable to impose Shari’ah law–which is Sabri S.’s end game–so this was not enough for him.

Observer if you are NOT present at a bank robbery, and have knowledge of the plan to rob the bank, which you help in the least way to prepare for execution, YOU ARE equally guilty. Your presence at the even make no difference in your criminal responsibility. It is your knowledge and participation AND failure to report the plan that make you a criminal under both conspiracy law, and 18 United States Code Sections 2 and 4. She helped scout the location of 49 murders. She helped obtain weapons and ammunition. She knew of the plan and did not do anything to prevent it from happening.

Gotta share a story from another uncle who served in WWI: Boss gives his worker a “piece of a bottle of liquor”. Next morning the boss asks, “How was it?” “Boss, it was just right. If it was any better you wouldn’t have given it to me. If it was any worse, I couldn’t drink it!” Like most of the members of my adopted family he lived 86 years.

Islam is isis and isis is islam. They are real muslims embracing the blood cult. Noor ponders to islamic belief so why would she speak up.
I think we all assumed she was well aware prior to the mass murder. Like the juror said, she may of not known the day or location but she knew. Beings that it was a night club for infidels and not just any kind but gay infidels, one could assume she gave it the islamic approval.
There I go again, I better stop the islamophobia before I get all worked up and dream of a new Crusade. ✝️

“the angels await”
What angels?
Like the ‘angel’ jibreel {who in islam is called ‘the Enemy of the Jews’}the servant of al lah the best of deceivers,who gave ‘the revelation’ to the demonic child-raping ‘prophet’ muhammed?
One of THOSE ‘angels’ of al Lah{‘the BEST of deceivers’ koran 3:54}?..or demons to be precise.
{2 Corinthians 11:14}
A false prophet{who even admits he is a liar al tabari 6:111} receives a revelation from an ‘angel'{‘the enemy of the Jews’ koran 3:54} from a violently antisemitic pagan Arab god al Lah{the BEST of deceivers’ koran 3:54}in a cave with no witnesses?
A demonstrably false scripture given to the most obvious false prophet in history via an antisemitic ‘angel’ from a violently antisemitic god who boasts about being a champion deceiver{allah khayrul i makireena}
One would have to be incredibly stupid or just evil to fall for that obvious deception.Perhaps ‘the demons await’
would be more apposite,especially for anyone dumb enough to convert to this Arab cult.

‘Muslim Legal Fund of America’ – that’s interesting. Is there a ‘Jewish Legal fund of America’? Or a ‘Hindu Legal Fund of America’? Or a ‘Christian (or Catholic, or ‘Baptist’, or whatever) Legal Fund of America’? Or an ‘Anything Else’ Legal Fund of America’? If not, why do muslims need their own ‘Legal Fund’ (just like they apparently need their own ‘Councils’, ‘Parliaments’ or ‘Committees’ to which we apparently have to pay attention)? Is it because they break the law so often that they need extra specialist representation to keep their prison statistics down? Or do they basically believe that they’re above the local laws and this is their only concession to the kuffar prior to the big takeover?
Frank Anderson says
J.L., as long as terrorism is treated as a crime instead of an act of piracy, then we are forced to accept that lawyers will be required to defend the charges being made and prosecuted. A valid criminal conviction cannot be obtained without a zealous and competent defense. One of the lawyers for the World Trade Center bombers was convicted of aiding terror. Perhaps more should suffer the same fate.
I have supported my opinion that terrorism is nothing more than piracy on land or air, and that it should be treated under the law of piracy before the treaties that condemned us to destruction taking away the prior law.
Pirates were considered correctly, in my opinion, as “enemies of all mankind” who had no rights and who could be executed on sight. Anyone who gave them aid comfort or support would be equally guilty.

Spot on! I totally agree with with that last paragraph!

To Sabri .S. You already had a Muslim President and he did his best to destroy the USA,but failed.Worst President ever. Maybe you forgot ,or didn,t care to ever know that Obama/Biden spent more in 8 years with nothing to show for it, except their own enrichment, than all the Presidents before them spent Since Declaration of Independance. Maybe you didn,t notice in the last few years that millions of Muslims are heading to the west where all those evil Racist people live, where all those evil ,Racist countries give them ,health care and perpetual welfare .Hard to believe that they left a superior country and culture where little girls are given to dirty old men to play with like the toys that the little girls play with.These superior countries do not have PEDOPHILIA,,just kind old granfathers who supposedly marry pre pubecant girls and supposedly LOVE them. Don,t forget female genital mutilation, a must for all little moslem girls. Don,t you know that if allah is the creator of all things that allah could have made all women without Clitorisis. Look at all the little girls allah could have stopped from screaming and crying while having their body alterations.Looks like allah screwed up when he made LITTLE GIRLS, or maybe this practice is a HUMAN FETISH.Use your superior mind to figure it out.

Are infidels welcome{‘the WORST OF CREATED BEINGS’ in allah’s APARTHEID system{ koran 98:6}?
Shouldn’t infidels be told that is what islam classifies them as?
Christians?{CURSED for believing in Jesus Christ (koran 9:30)}
Jews?{CURSED for being ..Jews(koran 2:65)
Indeed it is for ‘the BEST community that hath been raised up for mankind'{koran 3:110}:the muslims,the holiest of all people in THE religion of ‘PEACE'{WHERE,WHERE’S THE PEACE?} a community that follows the Sunnah or example of a child-raping,mass-murdering,African slave selling,self-confessed terrorist and false prophet*,a pagan Arab god al Lah who admits to being the ‘BEST of all deceivers'{koran 3:54} which in reality is muhammed’s Sock Puppet, a’holey’ koran so full of ERRORS in it that by allah’s own criterion of koran 4:82 it cannot come from God but must come from ‘other than allah’,a religion that manages to violate EVERY one of the laws given to Moses by the Actual God{YHWH},has a Doctrine of HATE{al walaa wal baraa} and an APARTHEID system{see koran 98:6} that discriminates against ‘infidels’ and endless jihadism.
