Babar Ahmad & Talha Ahsan

This entire saga is pure bullshit!!

The fact that BRITISH citizens have been extradited to the US should be causing alarm bells to ring in EVERY single person living in the UK.

The entire charges and reasoning behind this is bullshit too - Babar Ahmad has been extradited because the alleged website he made was on US servers!! WTF!!!!!????? So you're telling me if the brand of bleach used by a dumb ass wanna-be terrorist (in the UK) is a US brand then he can extradited too??

I just hate to think what these men are going through - 8 years indefinitely detained in a UK prison would have been hard enough but to then go to the US where the conditions are known to be harsher and so far from their family must be so frightening. But these are men of faith, it is their infallible strength and patience that erks most observers who wish to see them suffer. Babar Ahmad has written many poems and even a little booklet called Words of Wisdom From Behind Bars - I would encourage you all to download and read it. Just from reading his words you know this man could not be guilty of inciting hate or acts of violence...

Lets get back to the human element of this, these men have been taken away from a distressing situation - to now an unfamiliar and even more so distressing environment. I have no doubt they will be found guilty (unfortunately this is how the "justice" system works - you wouldn't go through the expense of having these men brought to US only to say 'oops we got it wrong''). If found guilty what happens next? Spend the rest of their lives in US prisons or be bought back home to serve out their sentences? Be kept separated from their families for the rest of their lives because of the distance? Surely, that's against their human rights?? What will happen to Gary Mckinnon? If he's not extradited does this become about the colour of someones skin or their religion that's qualifying them for extradition? May seem a bit outlandish that this could be about someones religion but it would be stupid to ignore the blatant facts! Guantanamo Bay has housed over 750 men of ONE faith - Islam! This has happened before in history when a people of one faith have been herded into cages, suffered horrific fates...we may not be far from that reoccurring.

Talha Ahsan suffers from Aspergers Syndrome. In a medico legal report of June 2009, a consultant psychiatrist described him as “an extremely vulnerable individual who from a psychiatric perspective would be more appropriately placed in a specialist service for adults with autistic disorders.” Again, the reasoning behind allowing this obviously fragile individual to be extradited baffles me - Our countrys judges lack any sense of intellect - dimwits!

One last thing the U.N. Committee Against Torture expressed concern about “prolonged isolation periods” and “the extremely harsh regime” in US Supermax prisons.  It is little wonder that the former warden of ADX Florence described the prison as a ‘clean version of hell.’ <<< That is what these men look to be facing for the rest of their lives.


If their stories don't affect you check that you still have a pulse - I'm not saying that they should be free (although that is what i think!) I'm saying the right thing would have been to try them at home....not in a foreign land under bullshit reasoning!


I hope and pray that I am proven wrong - that justice still exists in this day and age, but I won't hold my breath.
