Evil Palestinian Islamic Jihad kingpin Sami al-Arian will serve 19 more months in prison, then he’ll be thrown out of the US. Good riddance, but shame on the government for botching his prosecution: Ex-professor gets over 4 years in Florida Jihad case. (Hat tip: SoCalJustice.)
U.S. District Judge James Moody sentenced al-Arian to the maximum 57 months in prison but gave him credit for 38 months he has already served. He will have to serve the balance, 19 months, before being deported, prosecutors said. …
In his ruling, Moody harshly criticized al-Arian for doing nothing to stop bombings perpetrated by Islamic Jihad.
“You lifted not one finger. To the contrary, you laughed when you heard of the bombings,” he said.
“You are a master manipulator. The evidence is clear in this case. you were a leader of the PIJ.”
