We hate America: Pakistanis protesting Afia's jailing
Written by Web Master Friday, 05 February 2010 20:56
"We hate America," "We hate U.S. judiciary," and "Down with the US," read some of the signs carried by burqa-clad women protesting in the southern city of Karachi, the hometown of Siddiqui's family. Little do they know that the U.S. is all out to murder Muslims, jail them and torture them. What justice do we expect from them?
Pakistanis shouted anti-American slogans and burned the Stars and Stripes on Thursday in protest of a New York jury's conviction of a Pakistani woman accused of trying to kill Americans while detained in Afghanistan.
The protests drew thousands in at least four cities, demonstrating the widespread distrust, and even hatred, of the U.S. in this country whose cooperation Washington needs to stabilize neighboring Afghanistan.
They also showed the fierce passions surrounding the bizarre tale of Aafia Siddiqui, a 37-year-old U.S.-educated scientist who disappeared along with her three children for five years until she was picked up by Afghan police in 2008.
The U.S. says Siddiqui shot at American security personnel who came to interrogate her after her arrest in Afghanistan's central Ghazni province. But many Pakistanis believe the U.S. has fabricated the charges. Some suspect the Americans had long held the thin neuroscience specialist in a secret prison — allegations the U.S. denies.
A Manhattan federal jury convicted Siddiqui on Wednesday of two counts of attempted murder, though it found the act was not premeditated. Siddiqui was also convicted of armed assault, using and carrying a firearm, and assault of U.S. officers and employees.
Pakistanis denounced the verdict against Siddiqui, a devout Muslim who studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Brandeis University before returning to Pakistan following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
"We hate America," "We hate U.S. judiciary," and "Down with the US," read some of the signs carried by burqa-clad women protesting in the southern city of Karachi, the hometown of Siddiqui's family.
"Had they acquitted Aafia, the world would have appreciated the American judicial system and its whole philosophy. But the conviction has shown us how they have crushed justice," her sister Fauzia Siddiqui told the rally.
In the western city of Quetta, Islamists burned a U.S. flag while denouncing several U.S.-related actions.
"We are with her. She is not alone. We will keep up our struggle against the United States of America," said Maulana Abdul Qadir, a leader of a hardline Islamist party.
