Egyptian student gets 15 years in Fla. terror case
This is a glimmer of hope, a ray of light in an abysmal sinkhole of denial. This is the second terrorism conviction in just a matter of months following the convictions in the "Holy Land charity" case. These are really important cases because they are setting legal prescient in what is a new area of law.
It's heartening to know that there are judges out there who are willing to impose realistic sentences on muslim terrorists. Let's hope that in 15 years, ICE or whatever it has morphed into, will deport this guy on the first plane back to Egypt.
Lets hope his buddy gets the same 15 years.

Merryday handed the maximum sentence to the former University of South Florida graduate student, brushing aside his attorneys' pleas for leniency and the minimum eight-year sentence.
