Tarek's Lawyer speaks: “I wonder what Nelson Mandela’s lawyer thought when Nelson Mandela made a speech when he was sentenced to life in prison. The lawyer probably thought it was a criminal case, but we now know it was a political case. I wonder what Martin Luther King’s lawyer thought when his client was sentenced to prison. That lawyer probably thought it was a criminal case. We now know that it was a political case. When the history of Islam is written, I wonder what impact this speech by Tarek Mehanna will have on future generations,’’ Carney said.
Carney added, “I was proud to be sitting next to Tarek Mehanna ... He obviously views himself as a leader in the Islamic community and was putting forth how important it is for Muslims to defend other Muslims who are being oppressed or being attacked. ... If that’s defiant, he is in very good company with a lot of other people who have defiantly opposed apartheid or slavery or other injustices that have been done in this world.’’
