CAIR, along with the local Muslim American Society (who just sent out a new alert on the issue) are still (previous) trying to stir up pity on behalf of jailed Palestinian Islamic Jihad head, Sami Al-Arian who's now on his 25th(?) day of starving himself for attention.
...Family members report that Al-Arian collapsed on the 23rd day of his fast and has been moved from Virginia to a medical facility in North Carolina.
Al-Arian began his hunger strike more than three weeks ago after being given a sentence of up to 18 months for refusing to testify before a grand jury in Virginia. His attorneys say an earlier plea agreement freed him from further cooperation with the government. Supporters say the government's actions amount to a form of harassment....
The heart bleeds...much like PIJ's victims.
