“You admitted she requested an attorney. I’m here. I’m her attorney. She’s entitled to counsel. I want to see her. Don’t make me demand to see her. Don’t make me go over your head. And, for heaven’s sake, don’t make me go to a judge. It will not be pretty.”

“In an actual criminal trial, before a judge or jury, the standard of proof is beyond a reasonable doubt. In the grand jury proceeding, no one on the defense side is present to hold the prosecutor’s feet to the fire. And, because of the absence of defense arguments, grand juries almost always return an indictment. When prosecutors bring cases to grand juries, they are looking for a rubber stamp.”

“When did the girl get to the Blackwell house and what did she see? Can she identify me? I may have to get rid of her, too. Who cares if one more camel jockey meets her Maker? After all, they’re blowing themselves up to go to paradise, anyway.”

“The rider was a distance away, but Arya could make out the beat-up leather jacket and grey hair spouting out all sides of the man’s helmet. A cold chill went through her body. No one else noticed the sound or the man. For no particular reason, she decided to keep this sighting to herself, and continued walking with Zack and her parents. Perhaps later, she’d confide in Zack. Was this the guy? Is he watching me?”

“If we assume they were all in this together, and Blackwell got careless and easily identifiable, then the group became concerned this Blackwell dude would cave when the cops showed up asking questions. They couldn’t have him naming co-conspirators, so they decided to carve the guy uplike a Thanksgiving turkey. You with me?” “I am,” Zack winced at the analogy. Thanksgiving would never be the same.”

“With Ronald John running all over the country condemning Muslims and focusing on the Khan family, the government will not want to admit the terrorist, in this case, is the white guy.”

“Despite many hiccups, an ICE spokesperson called the sweep the most successful weeklong event in history. The spokesperson, speaking on the condition of anonymity, indicated that while crime involving Muslim immigrants in this country was not increasing or at dangerous levels currently—in fact, it was almost non-existent—the president was looking for people who had criminal histories, were Muslim, and were potentially deportable. Critics joked it was the most successful one-week sweep of its kind in history because it was the only one-week sweep of its kind in history.”

“The war between President Ronald John, Muslim nationals, Muslim immigrants, and the federal judiciary was peaking at the wrong time for Arya Khan and Zachary Blake. Picking a jury and conducting voir dire would be difficult if not impossible.”

“Have you read about Timothy McVey in school?” “The Oklahoma bomber guy?” Kenny boasted, with pride he knew the answer. “Yeah, the Oklahoma bomber guy. He was Christian. Does the fact he was a Christian and a terrorist make all Christians terrorists?” Zack queried. “Of course not,” Kenny agreed, as if the question was ridiculous. “Of course not,” Zack mimicked. “So why then, if a terrorist is Muslim, are we so quick to assume all Muslims are terrorists?”

“Why should we hate or trash someone because of his or her faith? After all, religion, regardless of how it is practiced or who is practicing it, is supposed to be a good thing, right? Religion can just as easily be used as a force for evil rather than a force for good. Since we know this to be true, doesn’t this present us with opportunity? Shouldn’t we seize the moment to be more tolerant of each other’s beliefs, so hatred is not victorious in this moral battle?”
