Times Square Bomber Sentenced To Life - Says He Would Sacrifice His Life 1000 Times For Allah, If He Could

I suggest we make it seem like 1000 lifetimes for him. That way both of us will be happy.

It's important to remember this guy target in Times Square was right outside the offices for South Park.

HE WAS WILLING TO KILL US, EN MASSE, OVER A CARTOON THAT WASN'T EVEN AS BAD AS THIS ONE.

From AP:

A Pakistani immigrant who tried to set off a car bomb in Times Square was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison by a judge who said she hopes he spends some of his time behind bars thinking "carefully about whether the Quran wants you to kill lots of people."

Faisal Shahzad's thirst for bloodshed showed no signs of waning as he and U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum sparred repeatedly over his reasoning for giving up his comfortable life in America to train in Pakistan and carry out a potentially deadly May 1 attack in the heart of Times Square.

Instead of exploding, his massive bomb in the back of an SUV sputtered, attracting the attention of a street vendor, who alerted police. The discovery set off an evacuation of the tourist-laden area and a massive investigation that resulted in his arrest two days later as he sought to flee the country.

"You appear to be someone who was capable of education and I do hope you will spend some of the time in prison thinking carefully about whether the Quran wants you to kill lots of people," Cedarbaum told Shahzad after she announced his mandatory life sentence, which under federal sentencing rules will keep him behind bars until he dies.

Shahzad, 31, responded that the "Quran gives us the right to defend. And that's all I'm doing."

Earlier, Shahzad offered a lecture of his own for Americans, saying he felt no remorse.

"We are only Muslims ... but if you call us terrorists, we are proud terrorists and we will keep on terrorizing you," he said.

At another point, he said: "The defeat of the U.S. is imminent."

Cedarbaum said her sentence was very important "to protect the public from further crimes of this defendant and others who would seek to follow him."

During Shahzad's statement, Cedarbaum cut him off at one point to ask if he had sworn allegiance to the United States when he became a citizen last year.

"I did swear but I did not mean it," said Shahzad, a former budget analyst from Connecticut who was born in Pakistan.

"So you took a false oath," the judge told him.

Shahzad demonstrated throughout the half-hour proceeding in Manhattan that he had not wavered in the months since he pleaded guilty in June to 10 terrorism and weapons counts, some of which carry mandatory life sentences.

"I want to plead guilty and I'm going to plead guilty a hundred times forward," he said in June.

On Tuesday, he picked up where he left off.

"If I'm given 1,000 lives I will sacrifice them all for the life of Allah," he said ...
