The Pakistani immigrant who tried to detonate a car bomb on a busy Saturday evening in Times Square accepted a life sentence with a smirk Tuesday and warned that Americans can expect more bloodshed at the hands of Muslims.
"Brace yourselves, because the war with Muslims has just begun," 31-year-old Faisal Shahzad told a federal judge. "Consider me the initial droplet of the blood that will follow."
His punishment for building the propane-and-gasoline bomb and driving it into the heart of the town in an SUV in May was a foregone conclusion, since the charges to which he pleaded guilty carried a mandatory life sentence, which beneath federal rules will retain him behind bars until he dies.

"We are only Muslims trying to defend our religion, people, homes and land, but if you call us terrorists, then we are proud terrorists and we will keep on terrorizing you until you leave our lands and people at peace," he told U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum.
I think I would have just told this man to sit down and shut up. The court room is no place for his stupid comments.
"You appear to be someone who was capable of education and I do hope you will spend some of the time in prison thinking carefully about whether the Quran wants you to kill lots of people," Cedarbaum said.
Shahzad responded that the "Quran gives us the right to defend. And that's all I'm doing."
Unbelievable. Yet, some people think it's okay for a mosque to be built near Ground Zero?
