FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE:
PAKPAC Welcomes
Sentencing of Would-Be
Times Square Bomber
Washington DC: Oct 5th ,
2010:
The Pakistani American
Public Affairs Committee
(PAKPAC) welcomes the
verdict of the Life
Imprisonment of Faisal
Shahzad. His comments
and his remorseless
attitude confirm the
misguided, manipulated
and a sick extremist
mindset.
At his sentencing
hearing, Faisal Shahzad
said he was a “proud”
terrorist and warned of
more attacks. The judge
replied, “I do hope that
you will spend some of
the time in prison
thinking carefully about
whether the Koran wants
you to kill lots of
people.”
We at PAKPAC believe
that individuals with
such a ruthless
ideological illness
should be behind prison
to protect all humans
from their erroneous
fury.
His comments, words, and
ideology clearly shows
how far fetched and sick
he had become in his
hatred and disgust for
all people. PAKPAC would
like to draw the
attention of all people
and especially the
people residing in the
Muslim majority
countries that the
largest number of
victims of the Al Qaeda,
Taliban and Al Qaeda
affiliated groups have
been the Muslims in all
parts where these groups
have any foot hold.
PAKPAC believes that
homeland security starts
with hometown security,
the Muslims in the
United States must
remain vigilant and
active to make sure that
no such elements are
allowed to develop,
reside and flourish
within their
communities. A
comprehensive effort
needs to be made to
identify ways to
identify, rehabilitate
such individuals and or
groups from traveling
towards this misguided
path., PAKPAC supports
the proper adoption of
Department of Homeland
Security
Suspicious Activity
Reporting (SAR)
initiative of “If You
See Something, Say
Something”, which
provides critical tools
to communities to
identify and disrupt
threats. Such SAR’s
however must not to be
used
to violate the rights of
innocent people engaged
in innocuous activities.

Shahzad’s arrest.
