Shame on treatment of two Albany Muslims. When the history of this troubled time in America is finally written aright, may it be recorded that my voice was lifted in sorrow and shame at the treatment of my fellow Albanians, Yassin Aref and Mohammed Hossain.

It might interest your readers to learn that if the FBI sting operation against two Muslim men had taken place in France instead of Albany, it is the FBI agents who would be in jail. ( French law forbids the police to "create" criminals by trapping someone into committing a crime. )
