#4 Mike Sylwester: Two years have passed; their names appeared on a list of 680 prisoners obtained by the Red Cross at Guantanamo Bay, the U.S. military prison that was known for its harsh and inhuman condition. Quantanamo Bay Prison ranks several notches above Hitlerâs concentration camps.

Let me recount the differences. (Not that I should have to - bin Laden's cohorts deserve to be tortured to death, slowly).

(1) In Hitler's concentration camps, inmates were worked to death. To my knowledge, no Gitmo inmate has died from overwork - actually, they don't do any work.
(2) In Hitler's concentration camps, inmates used to starve to death, by design, because of starvation rations. To my knowledge, most Gitmo inmates have gained weight from the culturally-sensitive gourmet meals they're serving there.
(3) In Hitler's concentration camps, inmates were gassed and cremated once they had reached the end of their useful lives - i.e. they were unable to continue working, because of sickness or crippling workplace injuries. To my knowledge, no Gitmo inmate has been gassed and cremated.

How is it that jihadis are able to lie so effortlessly and without compunction? Because the Koran says that to lie to infidels is no sin. Jihadis have extended that even further - if they pre-classify Muslims who don't subscribe to their point of view as infidels, they can put out lies like the kind featured in Jihad Unspun to other Muslims as well.

#5 "Their names appeared on an FBI list without much description other than, âarmless and dangerous.â?

#7 Zhang Fei: The article was written by Albert M. Jabara, identified as a Canadian poet and author. I reposted it from a website called "Jihad Unspun." I don't endorse Jabara's remark comparing the camps.

#8 Wait a minute, let me get this straight---these guys were apprehended in New York and wound up at Guantanamo?

Wasn't that the point of putting people in Guantanamo, so that they wouldn't be brought to the US where there would be more controversy on whether US civilian laws would apply?

Furthermore, I can't find any evidence of a Yussuf as a professor of physics at U. Toronto, nor could I find a "Westmount University" (or College) in Toronto, or a trace of Al-Ibrahimi as a famous architect.

My BS detector is beeping big-time. Is it broken?

#9 nice piece of propaganda deposited here on rantburg.
if you were picked up in the US you would not be in Gitmo - maybe Anappolis but not Gitmo.
