In the wake of the arrest of two U.S. Muslim troops at the Guantanamo
Bay prison camp on espionage charges, an Algerian lawmaker is claiming
the terror-related detainees at the facility have convinced several of
their guards to convert to Islam.
Hassan Aribi says eight Algerian arrestees whose freedom he negotiated
told him of the development, reports Islam Online.
“They told me that the American guards were very sympathetic with them
to the extent of buying the detainees’ needs [out] of their pocket
money,” the Algerian lawmaker told a seminar in Cairo, the newssite
reports.
The official maintains the freed Algerians reported some of the
American guards had embraced Islam due to “daily interaction with
Muslim prisoners for the past two years.” Aribi did not indicate how
many of the guards converted.
The newssite reported Aribi claimed 90 percent of those held at the
camp have no connection to al-Qaida or the Taliban.
“They were working with humanitarian relief agencies and were only
arrested as part of an American campaign against possible suspects,”
Aribi said, according to the report.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Senior Airman Ahmad I. al-Halabi, an
enlisted Arabic-language translator at the base, was arrested this week
and charged with espionage and aiding the enemy. On Saturday, Muslim
Army chaplain Capt. James Yee was arrested and charged with charged
with espionage, aiding the enemy and spying.
Al-Halabi allegedly tried to give Syria information about the detainees
at Guantanamo Bay.
Fox News reports today two more U.S. military personnel are under
investigation for espionage in addition to al-Halabi and Yee.

Comment:
There was once a great military nation called the mongol Tartars who invaded the Islamic state and ruled over the muslims, but what eventually happened to them was that having no intellectual creed of their own and just merely imitating their fore fathers bilndly they made the biggest mistake, which also proved to be their savior. They invaded and ruled over muslims and came in contact with the only creed which agrees with mans intellect and makes sence and hence they converted to Islam and carried the message of islam to many other lands. So the fact that the American GI’s station in Guantanamo bay are converting should not come as a surprise because they are embracing the way of life revealed by their creator, i wonder if they will be charged with spying now?
