An American-born Taliban fighter is heading to trial in Indianapolis in a lawsuit over prison prayer that will examine how far officials can go to ensure security in an age of terrorism.
Thirty-one-year-old John Walker Lindh is expected to testify in federal court Monday in the lawsuit that challenges limits placed on group prayer among Muslims housed in a closely monitored unit at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind.

How about chopping his head off for treason.
ReplyDeleteIs he one of the twelve virgins they get when they go to there promise land?
ReplyDeletePrisoners have no rights, especially if the're Muslim. How in the Hell did he even get a chance to challenge how far officials can go while he is in prison after being convicted of a crime? Because of Obama, our Country has lost it.
ReplyDeletei hope he loses...

ReplyDeleteGreat, just plain great. Let them all get together so they can plan more mass murders. If he wishes to pray, pray in his cell alone. That's what they are waiting for--more plotting. Has our government completely lost it?

Yes they do moe. Although prisoners do not have full Constitutional rights, they are protected by the Constitution's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment (see Amendment VIII). This protection requires that prisoners be afforded a minimum standard of living. Prisoners retain some other Constitutional rights, including due process in their right to administrative appeals and a right of access to the parole process. The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment has been held to apply to prison inmates. Prisoners are therefore protected against unequal treatment on the basis of race, sex, and creed. Additionally, the Model Sentencing and Corrections Act provides that a confined person has a protected interest in freedom from discrimination on the basis of race, religion, national origin, or sex. Prisoners also have limited rights to speech and religion.
Hope that helps you.
So he is an AMERICAN terrorist..not a muslim terrorist or a muslim extremist. Difference?
