Sami Al-Arian and the Dungeon: A Fable for Our Time? Sami Al-Arian has spent the past decade arguing passionately for the freedom of speech, for the freedom of conscience, for the protections against arbitrary imprisonment that form the very foundations for our civilization. An immigrant, a professor, a leader of his Muslim community, Al-Arian had campaigned against the use of secret evidence in court, embracing the democratic guarantees of a constitution designed to protect the innocent. Now he is locked up, unable to appear in court in his own defense, awaiting trial under conditions uncommon for even the worst convicted criminals. www.commondreams.org /views03/1116-07.htm   (864 words)

FrontPage magazine.com :: The Case of Sami Al-Arian by Ronald Radosh In fact, the celebration of someone like Sami Al-Arian is itself an example of political correctness par excellence; since it was the Left that created and defined political correctness.

Indictment Details Paper Trail: From The Tampa Tribune Sami Al-Arian sat with a blank expression, bowing his head, as a cleric described him as the leader of the Islamic Committee for Palestine, ``the active arm of the Islamic Jihad movement in Palestine.'' Defense attorneys Linda Moreno and William Moffitt are expected to portray the prosecution's case against Sami Al-Arian as a series of mischaracterizations. Then on Sept. 26, 2001, Al- Arian appeared on the Fox News program ``The O'Reilly Factor,'' where he faced rigorous questioning about the World and Islam Studies Enterprise and a 1991 speech at a rally in Chicago in which he said: ``Jihad is our path. www.tampatrib.com /MGBON9VPK9E.html   (3281 words)

Jihad Watch: Sami Al-Arian's wife: why no indictment? Nahla Al Arian should have been indicted along with her husband for helping him set up the PIJ terrorist network which is accused of carrying out suicide bombings and attacks which killed 100 people and maimed numerous others. Nahla Al Arian's position as co founder, director, and secretary, of the World Islamic Studies Enterprise proves that she helped to found a front for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organisation and must be held accountable. It is in the public and national interest that Nahla Al Arian's claims of her husband's innocence be challenged and scrutinized both inside and outside the courthouse in Tampa. www.jihadwatch.org /archives/2005/06/006557print.html   (406 words)

Trial of Sami Al-Arian - Closing Arguments Day 2 Sami al-Arian had told Louay Safi, in a phone conversation, that the “people of American do not understand these things.” But, “Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, tell these defendants that you do understand.” The defendants are entitled to their day in court. And yesterday I listened to four hours of discussions of events and the government’s views of Sami al-Arian’s relationship to those events.” Moffitt said the best evidence of the need for the First Amendment is Ms. She said Ziad Abu Amr testified on cross examination that he stood by his affidavit and was not influenced or coerced by al-Arian to lie, and, according to Moreno, there is no evidence that he did lie. www.investigativeproject.org /closing_day2   (4535 words)

Counterpunch: Remember Sami Al-Arian? Sami al-Arian, thanks mostly to a hateful and self-aggrandizing TV and radio host who likes to make dirty phone calls to conservative female co-workers, is treated like a serial rapist or murderer, even though he has yet to be convicted of a crime, let alone have his day in court. Sami now wastes away in solitary confinement for the crime of defending the Palestinians, a mortal sin punishable by life imprisonment in America. For instance, when I think of Sami and Ward, I am reminded of a scene in Fred Zinnemann's Julia, a horrific scene where Nazi brownshirts invade a university, beat up professors, and cheerily throw them from high balconies, presumably to their deaths. www.refuseandresist.org /culture/art.php?aid=1727   (1333 words)

JohnSugg.com: Al-Arian Speaks I was there last week to see Sami Al-Arian, arguably the most famous man in Tampa nowadays and one who should be among the most sorrowful, facing what could be life imprisonment for daring to be an advocate for his people. I can't believe that Al Arian's attorneys could not tell the jury what is happening to Al Arian's people. Al-A's brother in law, Mazen Al-Najjar, was held for four years on "secret evidence," and when unclassified descriptions of the evidence were released, it was clear that most of the "secret" was that it was from Israel (two of the five sources, I recall, and the other three didn't seem significant). www.johnsugg.com /2005/11/alarian_speaks.html   (9215 words)

WorldNetDaily: The solution to Sami (Al-Arian) This difficulty is especially pronounced in the case of former professor, Sami Al-Arian. Arian's years of work in the Tampa area in support of Palestinian independence crossed the threshold from protected free speech and political advocacy to illegal support for terrorists. The upshot is that decent Americans (John Esposito is excluded by definition) have to call Al-Arian and his ilk "neighbors." Or send their kids to school with children whose parents root for Jihad Islami as they would for the Miami Dolphins. www.worldnetdaily.com /news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=47823   (900 words)

Joel Mowbray on Sami al-Arian & Media on National Review Online "The arrest of Professor Sami Al-Arian today conforms to a pattern of political intimidation by an attorney general who seems to be targeting the American Muslim community's leaders and institutions in a drive to erode Americans' civil liberties," trumpeted a Muslim American Society press release. The post-arrest defenses used by Arab and Muslim groups largely take the line that al-Arian is being targeted because of his religion/ethnicity or for holding unpopular views. His arrest should prompt a reexamination of the claims made by his defenders upon his dismissal from the university. www.nationalreview.com /mowbray/mowbray031903.asp   (818 words)
