Aafia Siddiqui is quite clearly deeply disturbed or has gone insane.
Get ready for mental illness theater, which some elements of the media are just going to eat up.
Aafia Siddiqui, the MIT-trained scientist accused of shooting at FBI agents and having ties to Al-Qaeda, began the jury selection for her trial by saying that she did not want any Jews on the panel.
“Lady Al Qaeda,” as some media outlets are referring to her, announced that she was “boycotting” the trial and that jurors should be “subject to genetic testing” to see if they are of “Zionist or Israeli background.”
Siddiqui went on, saying, “I have a feeling everyone here is them… They should be excluded if you want to be fair.”
Remember, Siddiqui received her PhD from Brandeis Univeristy, a private nonsectarian university founded by prominent American Jews when anti-Semitism was still keeping many out of US higher education. The campus has always had a strong Jewish presence, and there’s no way she could have received her degree there if she had been dysfunctionally anti-Semitic. Her mind seems to be so far degenerated today that I doubt the person in that courtroom could manage a trip to the grocery store.
Here’s what judge Richard Berman said about her when he declared her competent to stand trial.
“This is an instance where a defendant may have some mental health issues but may nevertheless be competent to stand trial.”
Prick.
