The arrest and conviction of Aref and Hossein - as well as all others who were unjustly targetted, arrested and convicted - not only victimized them and their families but victimized the entire Muslim community. If there had been any real and legitimate evidence I highly doubt that the government would have kept it secret, rather they would have been so excited to boast about having it that it would have been public knowledge. I have no doubt that we are living in - or on the fringe of - a police state where people will turn on others for no other reason than fear, fear of the government. This is not freedom by any stretch of the imagination. There are many people who share this view and they stand tall, stand strong and speak out against the injustice that has been handed to Aref, Hossein and the entire Muslim community in the US. I trust the judge who will decide makes the correct decision and frees them, rather than pander to the desires of the government. Judges are obligated to uphold the law not cower in fear of "big brother".
