NYC: Judge rejects Muslim terrorists bid to ban Jews from jury

A lawyer’s request that Jewish people be
excluded from a jury that will hear a case of a suspected terrorist,
accused of lying about plans to kill Americans in Afghanistan, was
rejected today by a New York City judge.
“The judge denied my application,” Frederick Cohn, the lawyer representing Abdel Hameed Shehadeh, told ABC News.com.
The lawyer for an accused terrorist is reportedly planning to ask a judge to exclude Jews from the jury Monday.
The New York Post reports Abdel Hameed Shehadeh‘s attorney, Frederick Cohn, first broached the possibility of such a request at an earlier court hearing.
“Your Honor…as you know, I’m not wild
about having Jews on the jury in this case,” Cohn told a judge in
February. “Given that there’s going to be inflammatory testimony about
Jews and Zionism, I think it would be hard for Jews to cast aside any
innate antipathy. The American Jewish community is heavily aligned with
Israel and Zionism. Here is a guy who is a Muslim, who is opposed to
those things.”
Prosecutors argued that it would be unconstitutional to bar someone from serving on a jury due to their religion.
Shehadeh is accused of lying to federal authorities about his intentions join the Taliban during a 2008 trip to Pakistan.
Shehadeh is originally from Staten Island, but later became a resident of Hawaii.
While in Staten Island, he devised a plan
to enter Pakistan to join the terrorist group, according to the FBI, but
was denied entry.
After his 2010 arrest, he reportedly
implicated himself by saying that if he died as a martyr in Pakistan he
would have received 72 virgins as a reward.
Shehadeh
is not the first accused Muslim terrorist to rail against Jews in the
jury box. In 2010, Aafia Siddiqui, an American trained neuroscientist
nicknamed “Lady Al Qaeda,” accused of killing American soldiers in
Afghanistan and plotting an attack in New York, requested that
prospective jurors be given DNA tests to exclude Jews.
“I have a feeling everyone here is them
[Jews], subject to genetic testing…They should be excluded if you want
to be fair,” she told federal Judge Richard Berman at the time.
Her request was denied and she was later convicted.
