'American Taliban' asks to join prison prayer suit

Even from within prison, Islamists continue to wage jihad against the West through lawsuits intended to further the Islamic takeover of the free world.  In this case, as always, the ACLU is waiting in the wings to aid and abet the Muslim attack on freedom.

'American Taliban' asks to join prison prayer suit

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - American-born Taliban soldier John Walker Lindh is seeking to join a lawsuit that claims Muslim inmates held in a special unit at the federal prison in Indiana aren't allowed to pray in groups as often as their religion demands.

The lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana contends that Muslims in the Terre Haute prison's restrictive Communications Management Unit should be allowed to pray in groups daily. But the Bureau of Prisons argues the unit includes Muslims from several different sects that have varying requirements for group prayer.

The ACLU is waiting to see whether a federal judge will approve its requests to include Lindh in the lawsuit and for class-action status.

Lindh is serving a 20-year sentence at the prison for aiding Afghanistan's now-defunct Taliban government.

Michelle Malkin nails it with this item on Taliban John Lindh's parents asking Bush for a Presidential Pardon. Instead of whining and sniveling about his rather light sentence, Lindh should be thanking his lucky stars he's not hanging on a gibbet. It's a darn shame that this piece of work can't be deported to Afghanistan when he finishes his sentence.

No Mercy for Jihad Johnny

By Michelle MalkinIf it's December, it's time for the left to throw another shameless pity party for convicted American jihadist John Walker Lindh (aka Suleyman al-Faris, aka Abdul Hamid). Every Christmas season for the past four years, the Taliban accomplice and his parents have asked President Bush to pardon him. This country should save its tears and mercy for the defenders of freedom.

The farther we move from the September 11 attacks, the cloudier our collective memory of Lindh's case becomes. Sympathetic journalists have rewritten the history, embracing him as a naive young hippie-dippie from Marin County, Calif., who was just caught in the "wrong place at the wrong time."

Others, like Esquire magazine writer Tom Junod, have proclaimed him "innocent" and lamented his life behind bars in a federal medium-security facility. Junod criticized the government for forbidding Lindh to speak Arabic — human rights atrocity! Meanwhile, he enjoys the privilege of cooking meals for himself and fellow inmates, working in the library, and praying to Mecca. Junod insisted that Lindh deserves more "credit for his sense of purpose or his vast reserves of will" and more "credit for what it took to get to Afghanistan, much less what it took for him to get back to America."

In Afghanistan, I remind you, Jihad Johnny took up arms with the terrorists. His purpose was to kill Americans, and his "reserves of will" accomplished the goal. He told the feds he trained with al-Qaida before the September 11 attacks and fought alongside them after Osama bin Laden's henchmen murdered 3,000 of Lindh's fellow citizens on American soil. He wrote a letter to his mother expressing support for the U.S.S. Cole bombing that took 17 sailors' lives, and despite an emphatic denial by Lindh's father that Jihad Johnny took up arms against his country, he recounted how his rifle malfunctioned on the front lines in Takar.
