Assignment One
The rights asserted in many of the first ten amendments have been severely mitigated by the US governments desire to maintain a strong hold over those perceived to posit a ?threat? to the American power structure.
Specifically,
Amendment One:
The freedom to practice one?s religion depends on the political climate of our society. Currently, Islam is being vilified due to the government?s focus on the ?War on Terror? since 911. Muslim places of worship have been infiltrated by FBI informants unjustly, hundreds of Muslims have been charged in federal court unjustly, convicted through preemptive prosecution (Fort Dix Five, Newburg Four, and Yasin Aref).
Preemptive prosecution allows government agencies, such as the FBI, to investigate innocent Muslims based on suspicions which are rooted in the US?s misinterpretation, ignorance, and prejudice against all forms of Islam. For example, in the case of the Fort Dix Five, FBI informants were allowed to conduct a lengthy, immoral, and unsound investigation against several men based on their utterances ?God is Great? during a vacation where they engaged in practicing firing weapons at a shooting range for recreation. This trip was misinterpreted as ?training? for terrorism because the FBI failed to take into account that Muslims state ?God is Great? before engaging in many activities and that the phrase has little meaning outside of mainstream Islam other than being a cursory comment meant serve as a ?good luck? blessing that they, in this case, would do well at the shooting range. One would also use this phrase before engaging in any sport activity, such as going down a ski slope, in the hopes that they would perform well. However, the phrase was taken out of context, completely, due to ?extremist? Muslims who uttered the phrase during the events of 911, prior to completing their kamikaze mission and killing themselves and the passengers in the planes.
The young men involved in this case, thought nothing of the events that took place during their vacation, which mainly consisted of snow ball fights, cross country skiing, and football, thus they decided to take the videotape they made of their vacation to Circuit City to make copies for their loved ones to see what a good time they had.
Subsequently, they were placed under FBI investigation. An informant, was taken out of prison, promised his charges (fraud) would be dropped, he and his loved ones overseas would be granted US citizenship (whereas he would have been facing deportation for committing a felony), and money (which ended up being 250,000 dollars) if he was able to successfully entrap the young men into stating they were ?training? to be terrorists. However, the men quickly denied such allegations when confronted by the informant and stated they were more concerned with raising their children in a good school district, providing for their family, and having a good time. At one point, one of the men charged told the informant that acting against one?s country went against Islam, and was forbidden. During several other conversations, the men denied allegations that they were ?training? when they engaged in one of their favorite activities of paint ball, and stated that they just did this ?for fun?.
Nonetheless, much of the exculpatory evidence was prevented from reaching the jury due to the Unconstitutional actions of the AUSA?s involved in the trial. These five men were subsequently sentenced to life in federal prison.
