Charges against him are absurd. He was convicted of plotting to blow up the Pentagon "by means of an improvised explosive device (IED) using mobile phones."
The alleged plot sounded more like a bad film script. No self-respecting producer would touch it. Ferdaus will spend some of his best years in gulag confinement.
At issue is lawless entrapment. Paid informants are used. Witnesses are paid to lie. Secret evidence unavailable to defense attorneys is used. Muslims are America's target of choice.
Praying to the wrong God is hazardous. War on terror targeting snares unsuspecting victims. Media scoundrels convict them in the court of public opinion. Justice is denied every time.
