American justice at its best!
Islam Times: The American justice system added another achievement to its list of accomplishments when a U.S. man who converted to Islam was sentenced to 25 years in prison for posting online threats while soldiers who confessed to shooting dead Afghan women and children were giving nine months in jail.

Zachary Adam Chesser was sentenced for posting the address of South Park Creators online after they insulted the Holy Prophet in the name of “freedom of speech.”

On that very same day, 24th February 2011, Staff Sgt. Robert Stevens, who shot and killed Afghan women and children for sport and threw grenades at them got nine months in prison and a demotion to private.



Chesser’s sentencing took a total of 3 months to decide from the time in October when he confessed to the online postings.

The main defendant in the case in which Stevens was sentenced, Staff Sgt. Calvin R.

Gibbs has yet to be sentenced for killing women and children, for cutting of their fingers and making necklaces of their ears, even though he too confessed to his brutal crimes.

One has to ask, it took three months to sentence a Muslim to 25 years for posting online threats yet a man who confessed to killing and mutilating men, women and children over a year ago has yet to be sentenced?

According charges based on his confession and the confessions of others, the soldiers would throw grenades at women and children for “fun,” and would compete in how accurately and quickly they could shoot women and children.

The group of American G.I.s were lead by Gibbs and killed Afghan civilians for fun and used finger bones, leg bones, a tooth and a skull as macabre souvenirs according to documents revealed by the Pentagon.

As in other cases, the U.S. government is not releasing all the information and the most brutal aspects of the case in the hopes that attention will eventually fade. It used similar tactics during the Abu Ghraib scandal, when footage of boys as young as 13 being sodomized by U.S. soldiers as they screamed in pain and women being brutally gang raped were never released for fear that they could threaten “American national security.” Women who were detained were forced to watch these young children being tortured and were raped repeatedly. They wrote notes to visiting relatives begging them to kill them so that their misery could end.
