Female Terrorist with Ph.D. Called Mentally Unfit for U.S. Trial

Yup, proving once again that Muzzies really are mentally ill…

Just so you know, Aafi Siddiqui is a graduate of MIT.   And, in 2001, she obtained her PhD in Neuroscience at Brandeis University for her dissertation, “Separating the Components of Imitation”.

Does that sound like someone who is “unable to understand the nature and consequences of the proceeding against her?”

Pakistan Al Qaida Suspect

Pakistani woman called mentally unfit for U.S. trial

Mon Nov 17, 2008
By Christine Kearney

NEW YORK (Reuters) – A Pakistani woman suspected of links to al Qaeda and charged with trying to kill American interrogators in Afghanistan is mentally unfit to stand trial, according to her psychiatric evaluation.

Aafia Siddiqui, 36, is “not currently competent to proceed as a result of her mental disease, which renders her unable to understand the nature and consequences of the proceedings against her,” U.S. District Judge Richard Berman said on Monday while reporting the results of the evaluation.

Berman ordered a hearing on Wednesday to discuss how to proceed with Siddiqui’s case, including the possible use of medication to treat her.

Prosecutors say Siddiqui, a U.S.-trained neuroscientist, while detained for questioning in Afghanistan, grabbed a U.S. warrant officer’s rifle and fired it at the interrogation team, which included two FBI agents. The warrant officer then shot her with his pistol.

She was brought to the United States to face charges of attempted murder and assault.

Her arraignment was delayed after Siddiqui, a practicing Muslim, refused to submit to a strip search or cooperate with prison doctors.

Defense lawyers and prosecutors both argued the frail-looking Siddiqui should undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

Human rights groups had declared Siddiqui missing for five years before the incident in July, when she was arrested outside the governor’s office in Afghanistan’s Ghazni province.

U.S. officials say Afghan police found documents in her handbag on making explosives, excerpts from the book “Anarchist’s Arsenal” and descriptions of New York City landmarks.

In 2004, the FBI called Siddiqui an “al Qaeda operative and facilitator who posed a clear and present danger to America.”

Her lawyers have said she may be a victim of torture and believe she was kidnapped with her children in March 2003 in Karachi, Pakistan, and secretly held in custody for the past five years by either Pakistani or U.S. authorities.

A five-member delegation of Pakistani parliamentarians last month met Siddiqui for three hours at a prison medical facility in Fort Worth, Texas, where her psychiatric evaluation took place. They said she should be released and repatriated to Pakistan.

  2. Wow what ebonics…

    It would really be nice for a muslim convert like faith to relearn english…

    ah well….

    to her questions:

    “thy r a reliable source for info on islam?”

    Isnt that obvious faith? Muslims learn from: quran, hadiths, sunnah and other muslims.

    Most sources about islam come from islamic books or websites. These are the sources about islam that we critics use to study. Online sources you may not agree with but until islam unites and uses only certain sources islam as a system is a large mess.

    Muhammads marriage to aisha is the case for pedophila. After all no one can say that a 50 year old man who married a 6 year old child can say he was morally correct.

    you as a muslim convert can say love and peace all you want. But until you actually see the real face behind islam you will be totally fooled.

    @ Islams not for me.
    Hi,
    I understand your anger and outrage for Islam and Muslims. However, if you are someone who has read and researched about Islam you should already know that Islam does not preach hatred and murder. Perhaps it is just a matter of you not wanting to accept the facts and you choose to believe the media and what the online sources inform you.

    I believe that no religion is wrong as we are all taught to develop tolerance, peace and love. Anything immoral is wrong in any religion. The terrorists who kill thousands of people and claim to be muslims can not be Muslims as they go against the teachings of Islam. Same goes for Christians, Jews or Hindus etc…no religion preaches this and hence, they cannot belong to any religion..they are messed up extremists.
    Daily many Americans kill hundreds of Muslims in Palestine, Iraq and other muslim countries. What about the tortures they carry out in Guantanamo Bay? Are those inhuman tortures carried out by Muslims?
    Even after knowing all this…I cannot and should not assume that ALL Americans are diabolical. Just like you should not assume that all muslims are crazy fundamentalists.

    It is not even a matter of religion when it comes to good or evil…it is about human nature. We need to be a good human being first.

    One more thing I would like to say is anyones belief or faith is something very personal and close to the heart…even if you do not understand it you can not go ahead and make unpleasant conclusions. If you have read about Islam Im sure you know that the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is very close to the hearts of Muslims and he is someone who we all look up to. Anything displeasing that you say about him is surely said to hurt and offend Muslims.
    Please think twice before you pass a comment on anyones belief.
    Pedophilia is a mental disease in which the pedophile is ‘only’ attracted to really young children and almost always sexually abuses his victims. The Prophet did none of that, he had married other women who were not children. Neither did he ever abuse 6 year old Ayesha…and she was never forced to marry him. She agreed, and she was happily married to Muhammad her whole life. If you read about her life I think it proves that her Marriage to Muhammad made her strong and enlightened, she always looked up to him.

    One can not talk about being morally correct unless you are an angel sent from Heaven. Who are we to comment on anyones immorality? You could be best friends with someone who sleeps around or cheats on his wife but when you dislike someone no matter how pious he might be you would want to shame him. Why? Does it give us some sick satisfaction?

    It saddens me that people who have no tolerance for Islam overlook the ideal life of Muhammad which was undoubtedly stainless (If you have read about his life from other sources than the unreliable internet you should already know) and they choose to dishonor him by picking out areas of his life and making a mess out of something they do not want to understand.

    I hope I have gotten across to you what I was trying to say. None of it was to offend you, but I wrote just in hope that you might understand at least a small percentage. No Religion is bad…it is just individuals. I hope we learn to be better human beings.

    • Ronin Says:

      You would be better off attempting to convince muslims that we are wrong about islam than wasting your time here. In the end, it doesn’t matter what you believe about islam or anyone else we always advice people to judge islam on its merits and the actions of professed believers and those that praise them.

      Mohammed was a scum-sucking weasel in any generation his personal crimes are as numerous as his victims were. Reality is if he were alive today, he would be facing criminal changes from murder, rape, pedophilia, slavery, larceny and that is just a short list. Those inspired by his criminal actions continue to run a global criminal empire while masquerading their deviant life styles under the cloak of an organized religion.

      Pick the islamic nation of your choice, each has an active insurgency within or against a neighbor. You want to judge islam, pick any islamic country and just watch them be muslims.

      Yeah, I think we understand islam just fine.

    • Leatherneck Says:

      Munsbirds,

      Can show a link to many Americans killing hundreds of Muslims in Palestine?

      I didn’t think so. It appears you are lying just like Mohammed whom you follow.

      ROPMA!

    • Mullah Lodabullah Says:

      “However, if you are someone who has read and researched about Islam you should already know that Islam does not preach hatred and murder.”

      Really? Have you informed allah and its false prophet and brought them up to speed, munsbirds?

      They still follow and preach a hateful, violent and murderous form of islam, and claim that their version is true, such as but not limited to:

      “Make war upon them [unbelievers] until idolatry is no more and [allah's] religion reigns supreme.”
      (sura 8:39)

      “allah” revealing its will via “angels”: “I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels.Strike off their heads, maim them in every limb!”
      (sura 8:12)

      And so on, with the hatred and murder.

      What does your copy say? Do you bother to read it?

  5. LH Says:

    munsbirds, Tell me my dear, which makes more sense to your mind ?

    The God All Mighty sent down his Son Jesus to die for your sins at the cross so that you could be cleanse and forgiven.

    The God All Mighty sent down the “prophet Mohammad” to kill, rape, pillage and fornicate with children to save the world.

    Compare the life of Jesus and Muhammad. Your answer lies there.

  6. islams not for me Says:

    munsbirds

    Lets deal with the issues you have brought to the ‘table’ as it were.

    Islam is a hypocritical system not merely a ‘religion’ as you put it. Muslims do indeed preach a ‘peace’ but it not the Western version of peace where Christians, Jews or atheists are left alone to live their lives as they see fit in non Islamic countries. Islam if researched correctly from THEIR INFORMATION shows that there is much more to them than preaching ‘peace’ as you call it. Yes they preach morality, forgiveness but they also incite hatred against Jews, Christians and others. All you have to do is go online to and read up on islam from the multitude of Islamic websites to see if I am truthful or not.

    That is the first problem with islam it is a system that takes away individual religious freedom and replaces it with a so called ‘tolerance’ but it is not a safe tolerance as we have in America or other Western countries.

    If I were you I would investigate how Sharia laws would destroy the basis of the freedoms you enjoy.

    You claim:

    “I believe that no religion is wrong as we are all taught to develop tolerance, peace and love. Anything immoral is wrong in any religion. The terrorists who kill thousands of people and claim to be muslims can not be Muslims as they go against the teachings of Islam. Same goes for Christians, Jews or Hindus etc…no religion preaches this and hence, they cannot belong to any religion..they are messed up extremists.”

    This comment shows that you believe in the flawed theology of ‘Inter-faith-ers’ which under Islamic law would have no protection you would be a ‘kaafir’ since you believe all religions go to the same place. If you took the time to study Theology of various religions their concepts are quite different as is their God’s, Doctrines etc.

    Islam as I have tried to explain to you is more than a religion. Therefore those who are ‘muslim’ terrorists are doing so because of the political part of islam. They are following muhammads example from his various battles against those who rejected islam.

    The US Mil is not in ‘Palestine’ or other Islamic countries committing genocide. Be sure to recheck your facts on that subject. Meanwhile muslims murder each other over foolishness and you try to blame we non muslims for their stupidity. Whatever the US Gov is doing to mujahedeen prisoners is not part of any particular religion or religions of the USA unless you can prove otherwise.

    Yes muslims look up to Muhammad. Their writings indicate that. But sadly they also look up to his many murders, rapes, marriages and assorted other horrors unbefitting a ‘prophet’ of a God.

    Muslims themselves research non muslim religions and run them through the dirt and worse on their websites, blogs and in their printed materials. So if you think Im going to go ‘easy’ on them because they attack my faith and many other subjects your wasting both our time.

    In regards to Aisha in the Hadiths it is quite shocking for a ‘prophet’ of a God to take a child bride. This of course with the varied news articles of child bride abuses in muslim countries does not make the practice in the 21st century look any more moral than other oddities in islam like mutah marriage etc.

    In case you haven’t noticed or bothered to read online almost every religion has critics of one anothers morality or lack thereof. Being critical of islam or any other religion isn’t really surprising.

    I find it interesting in a sad way you consider muhammads life ‘stainless’ and yet he was the leader who ordered the deaths of thousands both in Arabia but outside of the middle east in various raids and battles.

    To conclude:

    Muslims are part of a system not a religion. You will be hard pressed to find Christians (Or others) who are part of a political system that enforces wholesale bloodshed and carnage on unbelievers.

    • munsbirds Says:

      Thank you for taking out your time in writing such a detailed reply.
      I do not think I need to reply in as much detail as you have just given your own view on points that I had already discussed and expressed.
      I just want to say a few things.
      It shocks me to hear you say that “You will be hard pressed to find Christians (Or others) who are part of a political system that enforces wholesale bloodshed and carnage on unbelievers.” If you choose to be blind to whats going on in this world then theres nothing I can do about it.
      If you specifically choose to look up sites (and let me tell you there are many sites out there which give the wrong image of Islam…Including Yours)…that are against Islam then I would suggest you broaden your search.
      To be really honest..I am NOT a scholar of Islam…I am just a Muslim and I try to follow my day to day religion. For me Islam is a way of life and my religion tells me how to be a better human. My faith is based on being a better person and trying to treat with love and kindness those who are in your life…whether they be muslims or non muslims.
      Anything extreme is against Islam. Muhammad did not murder. He only fought wars when it was necessary to do so. By necessary I mean in order to keep safe his people against the other armies which were already prepared to start a war. You can not just let people attack you and watch in peace. You see, Islam is so fair, it condemns the killing of women and children during a war. It even condemns cutting down of trees and burning of fields. However, I know while Im writing this that nothing I say will touch you or move you the slightest bit.
      The basis of any religion is faith. Whats the difference between Christianity and Islam? Muslims believe in 1 God and that Muhammad is His last Prophet. Christians believe in God and that Jesus is his son. And incase you do not yet know…Muslims and Christians believe in the same God. The only difference is that you do not accept Muhammad as a Prophet whereas we accept Jesus..yes, as a Prophet and not the son of God (with all due respect…I do not mean to offend you). Believing that Jesus is a Prophet he has a lot of respect and importance in my life, and the lives of Muslims. You may not believe it, but his role is very important in Islam, and in this world.
      I just want to conclude by saying that I am not preaching. Just stating my point of view. Extremism in any religion is wrong….if Muslims kill non muslims in the name of Islam, they are doing so out of hatred, and it is unacceptable.
      I sadly feel that you are doing the same. You want to spread hatred because thats all you have in your heart for Islam…..so how are you any different?
      If you want to preach Christianity..by all means do so…but why do you need to do it on the basis of spreading negativity about Islam? Can you not convince people to come towards your religion otherwise? Don’t be so weak..it’s only shameful.

        munsbirds, try studying islam, to see exactly what its “god” and false prophet are saying in their “holy” koran. Such as, but not limited to:

        “Allah revealed His will to the angels, saying: ‘I shall be with you. Give courage to the believers. I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, maim them in every limb!” (Sura 8:12)

        Good muslims, slaves of allah and its false prophet, follow allah’s instruction, and behead infidels. Search on “muslim behead infidel” and there is plenty of allah’s wet work to be found, as it uses its slaves to behead those who do not submit to its blasphemous religion.

        * “if Muslims kill non muslims in the name of Islam, they are doing so out of hatred, and it is unacceptable.”

        No munsbirds, they are doing it out of obedience to allah and its false prophet Mohammed. God will destroy islam and its deluded followers who reject His plan of salvation and eternal life through Jesus Christ.

      • Mullah Lodabullah Says:

        Here are some followers of allah and its false prophet preaching islam and its love for Jews and Christians on Facebook:

        http://www.totallyjewish.com/news/national/?content_id=13356

        Police launch investigation into anti-Semitic Facebook group

        Exclusive by Chloe Markowicz – Thursday 4th February 2010

        [One female youth wrote: "We hate Jews for the sake of Allah as he has told us to do in the Koran."

        The group page included offensive jokes invoking pejorative stereotypes about Jews and money as well as an anti-Semitic cartoon. There was also a link to a YouTube video entitled "Kill All Christians and Jews".]

      • Mullah Lodabullah Says:

        “If you want to preach Christianity..by all means do so…but why do you need to do it on the basis of spreading negativity about Islam?”

        “Spreading negativity”, munsbirds?

        This is the “negativity” (blasphemy, in fact) that allah and its false prophet spread about Jesus Christ, the Son of God and his crucifixion:

        “The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, was no more than Allah’s apostle … Allah is but one god. Allah forbid that he should have a son”. (Sura 4:171)

        “They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him (Jesus Christ), but they thought they did”
        (Sura 4:157)

        These blasphemies are enough to ensure that muslims remain under the curse of sin, death and hell, unless they individually heed the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

        Allah chooses conquest and bloodshed to make his religion supreme (Sura 8:39), while God chose the “foolishness of preaching” to reach those who He will save …

        “For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom didn’t know God, it was God’s good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save those who believe.” (1 Corinthians 1:21)

  7. islams not for me Says:

    munsbird

    An interesting reply but just more of your opinions…

    Lets go thru your commentary that is related to answering me.

    “It shocks me to hear you say that “You will be hard pressed to find Christians (Or others) who are part of a political system that enforces wholesale bloodshed and carnage on unbelievers.” If you choose to be blind to what’s going on in this world then there’s nothing I can do about it.”

    You made the accusation of Christians killing and so forth in the name of Jesus but cannot come up with one instance in the 20th or 21st century to prove your point. Also Jesus did not require Christians to kill in his name.

    I have looked up multiple websites that are written by muslims. These include islam online and several others. Each website is made up of various sects of Islam and of course since they are all garbled about what islam is or is not it is little wonder muslims don’t have a clue about Islam.

    Here you say:

    “Anything extreme is against Islam. Muhammad did not murder. He only fought wars when it was necessary to do so. By necessary I mean in order to keep safe his people against the other armies which were already prepared to start a war. You can not just let people attack you and watch in peace. You see, Islam is so fair, it condemns the killing of women and children during a war. It even condemns cutting down of trees and burning of fields. However, I know while Im writing this that nothing I say will touch you or move you the slightest bit.”

    Muhammad did indeed kill… Remember the Jews in Medina: the Qurayza?

    Does Islam condemn those who would kill women and children. No of course not the supposed rules mentions that women, children and older folks can be killed if they offer assistance to those who are fighting warrior muslims.

    Do some research on Islamic warfare as I have it is not very pleasant.

    Is allah the same God as Christians, Jews etc?… I say no for the following reasons. Both Jews and Christians are attacked in the quran. And incidentally the quran is simply muhammads story not a continuation of any other revelations.

    Allah in Islam is unknowable, indescribable. Im sure you have heard of that. Even the name of allah was spoken by Arab pagans during muhammads lifetime and yet it’s the same God as other religions. Not likely.

    Also I noticed in Islamic prayers and ritual they differ greatly from the religions they are borrowed from.

    I know of Islams Isa he is not Jesus…

    “Book 37, Number 4310: “
    Narrated AbuHurayrah:

    “The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (peace_be_upon_him). He will descent (to the earth). When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him.”

    http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/abudawud/037.sat.html

    “I sadly feel that you are doing the same. You want to spread hatred because thats all you have in your heart for Islam…..so how are you any different?”

    Nice ad hominem attack. So you think Im merely a ‘hater’ by responding to the ugliness in islam with my own opinion and limited research. Im different by not asking for muslim blood to be shed. Can your fellow followers say that?

    Lastly:

    “If you want to preach Christianity..by all means do so…but why do you need to do it on the basis of spreading negativity about Islam? Can you not convince people to come towards your religion otherwise? Don’t be so weak..it’s only shameful.”

    I don’t spread negativity about islam I simply comment on it. I cant convince people with human arguments. It is Jesus who can argue better than I. In fact the Jesus of the Bible reaches out to muslims in ways that Sharia laws cant stop.

    Jesus will convince you to follow him. It is he that can reach into you spiritually and change your heart and mind. Read up on Jesus and see if Muhamamd was like him.

    Jesus alone convinces people to follow him. He did so to me and will do so to you and your fellow muslims.

    In your arguments you will not convince anyone with your opinion about what islam is or is not. You can try but in reality you are wasting your time and probably should go pray or prey for your particular god.

    How civil of you to delete my comments from your blog. Yes Im being sarcastic. I understand you have the right to filter information on your blog but you can write all of your views and you can not tolerate anything written by a Muslim that talks about God and love? I was only wishing you well.
    -You can spread all the islamic propaganda you want on your blog, on this site we expose islam not defend it.

    May I please know the reason as to why you deleted those specific posts?
    Did they move you to that extent?…Was it offensive in any way?
    -Read the site rules. We do not allow multiple sign ons, propaganda, off topic posts and shear stupidity.

    And by the way, Im not a ‘his’, Ronin. Im a female. If you expect others to tolerate your BS then you should have the decency to tolerate theirs.
    -Sorry, I couldn’t tell because many muslim men also wear a burka. Women like you that defend islam is why so many others suffer because of it. Your sisters need women like you to tell the truth and not defend the cult. Change will happen only when muslim women stand up, the men have no reason to make changes. I will tolerate islam when it learns to tolerate others, not before. If you do not agree with our views move on. I have buried too many victims of islam to let anyone defend it. You like all muslims will be judged by actions not words.

    You want to delete this too don’t you? Just goes to show how prejudiced you are.
    -Aww you hurt my feelings. Don’t you know when you insult people they grow up to be jihadi?

  9. Cant say Says:

    muslims r not bad u racist people some r and some arent u cant judge every muslim just cuz of wat u c on the news their not gunna show gud muslimes thts 2 boring they r gunna show bad 1ns just 4 asiand indians and even americans

    • Ronin Says:

      islam is not a race. We judge islam only on the actions of professed believers, nothing more. Don’t like the image of islam then change it, turn in the hate preachers, recruiters, money men and suicide trainers. Help rebuild burnt churches, demand equal rights for non muslims living under sharia. We will notice.
