Muslim Sailor Sentenced to 10 Years
Muslim convert Paul R. Hall, who chose the Islamic name “Hassan Abu-Jihaad,” joined the US Navy, and was convicted last year of passing information on ship movements to Al Qaeda, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. The Investigative Project notes that the Hamas front group calling itself the Council on American Islamic Relations leapt to his defense, as they have done in every terrorist case:
Following his 2004 indictment, a Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) officials challenged the allegations against Abu-Jihaad.
Abu-Jihaad “was very surprised to hear he might be connected to anything related to terrorism,” CAIR-Arizona Executive Director Deedra Abboud told the Los Angeles Times. “He’s now scared he might get picked up for something he can’t imagine being a part of.”
