No Martyrdom or Virgins for Moussaoui

UPDATE: At his sentencing, the Judge told Moussaoui that instead of dying as a martyr, he would "die with a whimper." She also noted that he would never speak in public again, nor see the sunshine or hear the birds or associate with whom he pleased. Moussaoui's mother is quoted as saying that “Now he is going to die in little doses ... He is going to live like a rat in a hole. What for? They are so cruel.”

What's not to like about this verdict?

Zacarias Moussaoui was given life by a Federal jury today for his role in the 9/11 terrorist attack on America. The AP is making it into some kind of rebuff to the Federal Justice system, saying:

"But even with heart-rending testimony from nearly four dozen victims and their relatives — testimony that forced some jurors to wipe their eyes — the jury was not convinced that Moussaoui, who was in jail on Sept. 11, deserved to die."

The Leftist AP thinks that there is nothing worse than death, but they are wrong. Muslims "love death," as they have repeatedly told us. Moussaoui was looking forward to his martyrdom and the 72 dark-eyed virgins he could expect in Heaven. Rotting in jail for decades is a far worse fate for him, as I argued in my post of April 13 below. No martyrdom, no heroism, no virgins, no praise. Just unending boredom and gripping despair.

The Jury gave this bastard a worse fate than death, and I for one am happy for it.
