| |  Are Muslim Defendants Getting Special Treatment in Court?
Legal threats against police are being used to get criminal charges dropped against Muslims. Quote:
An otherwise unremarkable hearing in the Fairfax County, Virginia, general district court last Thursday marked an ominous trend with respect to the cherished American judicial principles of the rule of law and equality before the law. The hearing on four misdemeanor charges against Dr. Mustafa Ahmed Abbasi featured all of the usual players — judge, bailiff, clerks, prosecutors, police officers, criminal attorneys, and defendant — but with one notable addition to the judicial drama, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (****).
****’s intervention in the Abbasi case is a manifestation of a larger campaign against law enforcement to use political alliances and legal threats to intimidate police in cases involving Muslim defendants and to establish separate and preferable treatment for Muslims in the American legal system.
The circumstances concerning the charges against Dr. Abbasi are as unremarkable as last Thursday’s hearing. On February 9, Abassi committed an improper turn which prompted a traffic stop by Fairfax County police. After consent for a search of the vehicle was given, police discovered loose pills, needles, and prescriptions written to other individuals in the trunk of the car, violations of Virginia law. Dr. Abbasi admitted that he treated members of his mosque out of his vehicle, also a violation of Virginia medical rules (it should be noted that he is also a U.S. Customs and Immigration Service-approved immigration doctor). Abbasi received a summons for unlawfully prescribing drugs and three others for possession of controlled substances, and was allowed to leave the scene on his own recognizance.
More than two months later, a letter was sent from **** national legal counsel Nadhira Al-Khalili to Colonel David Rohrer, chief of the Fairfax County Police Department, claiming that the traffic stop was made on the basis of profiling and that Dr. Abassi’s consent to the vehicle search was never given. She also claimed that Abbasi’s arrest was part of a pattern of “religious discrimination” by the department.
The **** letter made a series of demands, including an internal affairs investigation of the incident, a reprimand for the officer who made the stop, a written apology for Dr. Abbasi, a dash-cam video of the traffic stop, audio of the related police radio transmissions, and the institution of ****’s workplace sensitivity and diversity training for the entire Fairfax County Police.

HMM looks like this individual broke the Law , as a matter of fact a few laws.
Let's just look past that and give him special treatment and force diversity training on the whole force , oh is that administered By that wonderful organization with their biased guidelines and the money from the tax payers of the county now going to go to that wonderful organization?
No we need "HATE CRIME LAWS" just for things like this where in the course of a regular traffic stop and the Law enforcement officers discover other violations they will have to turn a blind eye. Does that go for drug violations or DUI's , murder suspects.ect.... no just let them go.
It looks as though even though the officers found these other violations they let him go so where is the problem? oh he was was picked out and profiled instead of the true reason he broke a law bad cop bad, bad, bad you should be ashamed you did your job!

In the light of all the stupid "political correctness", WE need to understand that even though someone broke some LAWS of THIS LAND, these people are not of THIS LAND therefore are subject to being associated with NEW LAWS recently or on the spot created specific to their Religion and Homeland.
WE don't want people being offended by OUR LAWS simply because they don't live in certain sections of certain States or don't qualify to be tried for certain misdeeds and far be it from justice to be served because they were brought in on "trumped up charges" while the real crimes have been eliminated.
WE are in the land of the FREE, BUT if you don't actually live here then be assured that whatever you do will hold very little if ANY consequences and WE will do ALL WE CAN to assure you of this even allowing alliances of yours to represent you in our kangaroo courts with the ever present and well lubricated revolving doors.
Find your crime and avoid prosecution--ONLY if you're NOT American!!
Vehicle searches can be made on the spot or after the vehicle has been impounded, but of course NOT if one is not an American because WE don't want to hurt their feelings.
