In solidarity with Dr. Sami Al-Arian's hunger strike -- which we wrote about a few days ago -- KABOBfest will not publish any posts on Thursday and Friday.
We consider the continued denial of his freedom an unjust crime. A jury heard the case against him and did not accept the government's case. The government should not continue to keep him from his family and friends. Being in prison for four years on charges the government cannot prove is bad enough. To force him to hunger strike AGAIN to bring attention to the wrong against him is an egregious abrogation of human decency, not to mention the US Constitution's due process rights.
Also, I will be fasting for twenty-four hours Thursday to Friday in protest. I encourage others to join in as well.
Dr. Al-Arian began his hunger strike on January 22, 2007 to protest continued government harassment. For more information on why Dr. Al-Arian is on a hunger strike, please visit: www.freesamialarian.com.

EVERYONE, without exception, is entitled to due process. I too will KABOBfast for 24 hours in solidarity with Dr. Al-Arian's right to be treated with human decency.
Anyone else wishing to take part in this symbolic gesture is encouraged to leave words of support / solidarity on this message board.
I'll fast with you Will..
Kabobfest silent for two days?
Don't you see that's just what the Zionists want?
At last, two days to advance our agenda of world domination without interference by those meddling Kabobfesters!
kabobfast!! hahaha, good one
I'm going to eat twice as much on those days. If Sami was really fasting, wouldn't he be dead by now?
