For those of you who are advocating for leniency for Rubashkin on the premise that “a Jew must do all he can to prevent another Jew from going to prison”, how do you feel about Muslims who are using the same premise for their own to free Shahzad?
Mykelbe, you are equating a wannabe terrorist with someone being accused of bank fraud when the bank is not claiming fraud. Maybe the next time PETA decides to investigate cruelty to animals they should take a video camera to your local halal meat processing center.
