Many of his friends, neighbors, and classmates have reported similar statements in the media. See <a href="http://www.thebostonchannel.com/mostpopular/21389465/detail.html#" rel="nofollow">here </a>and <a href="http://www.wbur.org/2009/10/22/terrorism-suspect" rel="nofollow">here</a>, for instance. Even though it may not be visible to those who only know him online, he has done <strong>a lot</strong> for his community, in the way of teaching and supporting those in need. The members of his own masjid (ICB) as well as his colleagues at the Islamic school where he was a teacher, all spoke to this in the media. Given these facts and given his outspoken stances against harming civilians, I reiterate that I am convinced that he is innocent.

Tariq was always outspoken in denouncing the killing of civilians. This is attested to by the Boston Globe, which <a href="http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2009/10/22/records_show_man_intent_on_terror_but_supporters_skeptical/?page=2" rel="nofollow">wrote</a>: <blockquote>In the interview earlier this year, Mehanna did not deny his support of violence for a Muslim cause. However, he seemed to draw a line at the random killing of civilians and said he wished the American news media would learn the difference.</blockquote> Furthermore, the same views denouncing the killing of civilians are mentioned on his own blog, <a href="http://iskandrani.wordpress.com/2008/02/09/a-discussion-regarding-the-targeting-of-women-and-children/" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://iskandrani.wordpress.com/2008/02/07/nasir-al-%E2%80%98umar-regarding-the-explosions-in-the-lands-of-the-muslims/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

I am disgusted in the fact that it is a racist prison and the fact that nothing is being done what the f**k is this suppose to initiate trial & retribution is the deffinition of mails being imprison in order to turn their lives around and the fact that these things are occuring is only building more hatred within inmates so the likelihood of males refor,ming is 1 to many.
