Innocent Muslim’s Story of Imprisonment for 5 years at Guantanamo Bay
Published by Haseeb March 31st, 2008 in Current News, MediaSubhanallah, stories like this make me so ashamed of my country. I cannot understand how anyone in this country can justify Guantanamo Bay. Making up charges, torturing… it is an unconstitutional discrimatory prison (ALL Detainees are Muslim), and it must be shut down immediately! And to think, there are probably hundreds of cases of innocent detainees just like Murat Kurnaz…
At the age of 19, Murat Kurnaz vanished into America’s shadow prison system in the war on terror. He was from Germany, traveling in Pakistan, and was picked up three months after 9/11. But there seemed to be ample evidence that Kurnaz was an innocent man with no connection to terrorism. The FBI thought so, U.S. intelligence thought so, and German intelligence agreed. But once he was picked up, Kurnaz found himself in a prison system that required no evidence and answered to no one.
The story Kurnaz told 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley is a rare look inside that clandestine system of justice, where the government’s own secret files reveal that an innocent man lost his liberty, his dignity, his identity, and ultimately five years of his life.

Brother Murat Kurnaz…subhaanAllah…he had mashaallah such a looooooooooooooooooooooooooong beard (till his belly), but he cut it because here everyone recognized him because of it…
bless him for his sabr and make us realize that we muslims are not safe anymore from the so called peaceful politicians…
May Allah
