Tolerance. The trial for suspected 9/11 defendants, including Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, is underway in a military tribunal in Guantanamo Bay this week and the lawyer for the defendants is wearing a full burqa in court in order to "respect" the religious beliefs of her clients.

The defense attorney who wore a traditional Islamic outfit during the rowdy arraignment of the accused Sept. 11 terrorists is defending her courtroom appeal that other women in the room wear more "appropriate" clothing to the proceedings -- out of respect for her client's Muslim beliefs.

Cheryl Bormann, counsel for defendant Walid bin Attash, attended the arraignment Saturday dressed in a hijab, apparently because her client insisted on it. She further requested that the court order other women to follow that example so that the defendants do not have to avert their eyes "for fear of committing a sin under their faith."

At a press conference Sunday at Guantanamo Bay, Bormann said she dresses in a hijab at "all times" when she meets with her client "out of respect" for his beliefs. Asked why she requested other women do the same, Bormann said, "When you're on trial for your life, you need to be focused."

Bormann, who is not Muslim, claimed the issue came up several years ago, when a paralegal wore "very short skirts" and it became a distraction for the defendants. She said that on Saturday, "somebody" was also dressed "in a way that was not in keeping with my client's religious beliefs."

"If because of someone's religious beliefs, they can't focus when somebody in the courtroom is dressed in a particular way, I feel it is incumbent upon myself as a counsel to point that out and ask for some consideration from the prosecution," she said. "Suffice to say it was distracting to members of the accused."

Not surprisingly, the detainees are on their best behavior:

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed fingered his long, henna-dyed beard and stared down in silence on Saturday, pointedly ignoring a military commissions judge asking in vain whether the self-described architect of the Sept. 11 attacks understood what was being said and whether he was willing to be represented by his defense lawyers.

Minutes later, Ramzi bin al Shibh, another of the five detainees arraigned on Saturday as accused conspirators in the attacks, stood, knelt and started praying. Later, he shouted at the judge that he should address their complaints about prison conditions because "maybe you are not going to see me again."

"Maybe they are going to kill us and say that we have committed suicide," he added.

One defendant, Walid bin Attash, was wheeled into the courtroom in a restraint chair for reasons that were not disclosed.

More:

The court hearing for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his four co-defendants should have taken a couple of hours at most. Instead it lasted almost 13 hours, including meal and prayer breaks, as the men appeared to make a concerted effort to stall Saturday's hearing.

They knelt in prayer, ignored the judge, wouldn't listen to Arabic translations over their head sets and one even insisted on having the more than 20 pages detailing the charges against them read aloud, rather than deferred for later in their case as the judge wanted, which added more than two hours to the proceedings.

I guess this "Burga" news story hasn't reached Elk County yet.

Okay... how about this one:
Do people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water know that spelling it backwards is Naive?

[jarhead]

Warph,
The news reached Elk county the day that ol hide spewed her septic water from her pie hole. I sent it to a few, with my thoughts on it (Teresa and Sarge are just a couple that can confirm this ) but what I said could not be printed on the forum. I do remember goats and camels and fish heads were part of what I thought of being sensitive to their "Muslim beliefs" . Then I recall saying something about legs and cleavage and beady little eyeballs and a pocket knife---if need be I will draw you a picture with my Crayons

Why the shock?  WE all know lawyers are bottom feeders.

THIS IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I ever have to be arrested and go to court, I am gonna declare that I am a devout NUDIST!!!!!!!!!!!! 

And, then I'm gonna tell them that people in clothes highly offend my senses, and that I cannot concentrate on the proceedings with alll the distractions of people who are dressed.  This includes the judge.  But he won't mind because he is behind a desk.

And, then I'm going to tell my lawyer to ask for recesses so that I may go outside and sunbathe for an hour or two.  Worship of the sun is paramount to my being.

Alright.... cool, Larry.  But remember, never, ever cook bacon when you're naked...  which reminds me of a nudist joke:

Bob joins a very exclusive nudist colony. On his first day he takes off his clothes and starts wandering around. A gorgeous petite blonde walks by him and the man immediately gets an erection. The woman notices his erection, comes over to him grinning sweetly and says, "Sir, did you call for me?

"Bob replies, "No, what do you mean?

"She says, "You must be new here; let me explain. It's a rule that if I give you an erection, it implies you called for me." Smiling, she then leads him to the side of a pool, lays down, and happily lets him have his way with her.

Bob continues exploring the facilities. He enters a sauna, sits down, and farts. Within a few moments a huge, horribly corpulent, hairy man with a firm erection lumbers out of the steam towards him. The Huge Man says, "Sir, did you call for me?" Bob says, "No, what do you mean?"

"You must be new here, it is a rule that when you fart, it implies you called for me." The huge man then easily spins Bob around, bends him over the bench and sodomizes him.

Bob rushes back to the colony office. He is greeted by the smiling, naked receptionist. "May I help you?"

Bob says, "Here is your card and key back. You can keep the $500 membership fee."

"But Sir, you've only been here a couple of hours; you only saw a small fraction of our facilities..."

"Listen lady, I am 67 years old. I get a hard-on once a month---but I fart 15 times a day!"
