Moussaoui Gets Life in Prison.

A federal jury decided Wednesday al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui deserves life in prison for his role in the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history, on Sept. 11, 2001. On the seventh day of deliberation, the jury of nine men and three women informed Judge Leonie Brinkema that it had reached a decision. The verdict was announced at 4:30 p.m. EDT.

Note: in radical Islamic ideology, being captured by infidels and executed does not equal martyrdom. It equals humiliation. The ‘72 virgins/raisins’ fantasy is reserved for those who die ‘gloriously’ in battle, preferably in the act of murdering defenseless women and children.

And Zacarias Moussaoui will game the system to the best of his abilities. Don’t be surprised to see him get his own Koran, halal food, a prayer rug, and an arrow pointing toward Mecca.

“America, you lost,” Moussaoui stated as he left the courtroom. “I won.”
