Suicide bomber's widow soldiers on

While googling for something entirely different, I ran across this article.. This is precisely why we will never "stamp out terror".. "Friendly" countries allow them to emigrate to and live there.

I know you cannot start up the "thought police", but when someone says what she does/did, and continues to hold those beliefs, is it a good idea to just let them continue to live there? I would wonder why they would even WANT to live in a society they profess to hate..

Would the US have dared to open their arms to Nazis in 1940 and allow them to openly "do their thing". Would the UK have still treated us kindly if we had done that?

The whole "git-em-over-there-so-we-don;t-have-to-get-em-over-here" routine is even more ridiculopus, when militant Islamic fundamentalists are allowed to freely move around and set up shop in countries that are our allies..

Malika el Aroud says Osama bin Laden is a hero for standing up to the United States.


(CNN) -- Malika el Aroud still loves Osama bin Laden. And she loves him even though he sent her husband, Abdessater Dahmane, to die. On September 9, 2001, Dahmane and another man assassinated Ahmed Shah Massoud, the legendary leader of the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance in Afghanistan. It was a vital mission: Taliban support needed to be shored up in anticipation of al Qaeda's attack on America. Dahmane, a Tunisian al Qaeda recruit was, like his wife, devoted to bin Laden.

"It's easy for me to describe the love my husband felt because I felt it myself," she said. "Most Muslims love Osama. It was he who helped the oppressed. It was he who stood up against the biggest enemy in the world, the United States. We love him for that." Our CNN crew was quite taken aback at these words. Before the interview she had kindly fussed over us with an amazing array of cakes and Moroccan tea. But now she was professing devotion to bin Laden and his cause. We met el Aroud on a cold February day in Guin, a small town in Switzerland north of Fribourg. She lives there with her new husband, a Tunisian named Moez Garsalloui, whom she gently bosses around. She is a woman who says what she thinks.

El Aroud is a passionate believer in bin Laden's jihad and, together with her new husband, devotes her time to running a Web site promoting it. Because of the Web site, Swiss authorities detained the couple for several days last year for inciting terrorism. An investigation is ongoing. El Aroud is in her 40s now. She is covered in black robes from head to toe with just a small slit for her large, expressive brown eyes, dramatically illuminated by our TV lights in her first television interview.

1. In defense of the Swiss, it says the investigation is ongoing

A crime has to be proved; innocent until proven guilty is a premise we should support.

If their website proves to be inciting terrorism then I believe the woman and her new husband will wind up being incarcerated and/or deported, as they should.
