As if this whole country was specifically created for one individual: You. Ironically, that is not far from the truth. But when you steal, or kill or plan to kill and allegedly plan to kill, unfortunately, there have to be consequences. Even for Muslims.

You shoud show a little gratitude that you can openly practice your faith here instead of complaining.` I am looking on google news at headlines for Mehanna and the words that keep coming up are “alleged,” “suspect” and “accused.” Sounds balanced to me.
