GUILTY ON ALL 108 COUNTS!

“Guilty On All Counts”

That was the verdict on 108 charges, after years of investigations and two trials, for five top officials of the Holy Land Foundation, a Muslim charity accused of funneling nearly $60 million to the terrorist group Hamas. This was a major victory for the Bush Administration, which, of course, is why you probably didn’t hear about it. Patrick Rowan, the assistant attorney general for national security, said, “Today’s verdicts are important milestones in America’s efforts against financiers of terrorism.
This prosecution demonstrates our resolve to ensure that humanitarian relief efforts are not used as a mechanism to disguise and enable support for terrorist groups.” Ostensibly created to help needy Palestinians, the sweeping convictions prove the difficulty of identifying and working with so-called “moderate” Muslim groups. Other news today highlighted the evil nature of the Islamofascist enemy we are fighting in Afghanistan. The Associated Press reports that 10 Taliban thugs have been arrested for “acid attacks” against 15 Afghan girls and teachers who were walking to school.
Under the Taliban, girls were banned from going to school, and today they still risk being sprayed with acid for daring to get an education. Only the most delusional optimists would fail to see that an enemy this vicious cannot be negotiated with, but must be defeated by men and women who possess the moral clarity and courage to fight evil when they see it. Pray that our nation will maintain such moral clarity in the years ahead.
