IMAM JAMIL-AL-AMIN ON A AND E (Sept.10): IMPORTANT POINTS on his CASE
by Ather Masood, Chicago

With regards to the A and E special, a few points need to be made.

1. Anyone who watched this piece knows that it was a vague attmept to portray our Imam as a very violent person. Clearly the program focuses a great deal on "sensationalized" aspects of the Imam's past as well as present

2. We again would like to ask: Who completed the ballistics test and when? WHO WAS GIVEN ACCESS TO THE BALISTICS MATERIAL? The program did not even mention this.

3. WHO ACTUALLY WITNESSED THE IMAM SHOOT SOMEONE TO DEATH?

NOBODY. There is a dying police officer who says it was the Imam but did he acutally say that ? Other than the fatally shot officer, who else actually witnessed the alleged event?
