The way I see this, there is categories of people when it comes to these types of crimes.

Number one, actual people who committed acts of violence.

People who wanted to blow the plane up. People obviously, understandably, not only do I think it is Haran unethical, we understand the government's going to jail them to life or whatever, we understand that, okay?

Category two were those who themselves did not commit violence, but who financially supported or passed out the materials and pre-911 that probably wouldn't have been a crime, or at max a misdemeanor or minor felony.

Okay? But post-9-11, those types of people were basically given 15 years or maybe even life.

Okay? And that's unfair and unjust, even though they might have done things

they shouldn't have done, but they didn't actually harm people, right?

The third category, which is difficult,

are those who are genuinely innocent, but they unwittingly helped someone who turned out to be of the first two categories.

And some of your friends I know are also with this and I know people as well in this third category,

where they didn't know and a Muslim brother needs some help and they give him that help and because the government is so paranoid you know they're going to get thrown to jail as a material support right?

Yeah and this irritates all of us because and I've said this to you know

government officials whenever I get the chance is like you can't target three and four or

else you're gonna make it difficult for us to help you in anything.

And then the fourth is the worst of all and that is the setups.

That is the completely innocent people whom the FBI basically completely sets up

and then you know pretends where terrorists you and you know that's a fourth category right do you have any other categories and these are the four that come to my mind.

I'm sure given enough time we can get more nuanced. I think that that's sufficient detail in show.

So my point is that our sympathies for categories three and four should not cause us to forget there is a category one. Yes, yes, right? And yes, we feel bad for category two. They got sentences they don't deserve. But in the end of the day in this ultra paranoid

world that we're living in, you know, I mean, it's like it is what it is, you know, and we should

learn what wisdom is. We should is, you know, and we should learn what, you know, how to speak the truth in a manner that is the most effective.
