ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN)<\/strong> — A federal judge found former Georgia Tech student Syed Haris Ahmed guilty Wednesday of conspiring to provide material support to terrorism in the United States and abroad.<\/p>\n

The Pentagon was one of the sites videotaped by Syed Haris Ahmed, the FBI says.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ahmed, 24, could face 15 years in prison. Sentencing has been deferred until after the August 3 trial of Ahmed’s alleged co-conspirator, Ehsanul Islam Sadequee, who is expected to face the same charges.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Actually, it looks like his religion may be known as well.<\/p>\n

Ahmed, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Pakistan, waived his right to a jury trial so he could deliver his own closing argument Thursday.<\/p>\n

He talked about his Muslim faith instead of addressing the evidence against him.<\/p>\n

“I just want to convey the message of God,” Ahmed said.<\/p>\n

He cited verses and prayers from the Quran and spent a great deal of time comparing his religion to the Christian faith, noting that both worship the same God….<\/p>\n

Martin had called just two witnesses: Ahmed’s older sister and his father. Both testified that Ahmed was searching for his Muslim identity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I took a Facebook thing the other day that said my Spirit Guide was a Bear. I didn’t start eating honey pots and hanging out with a donkey named Eeyore. If you search for your identity, and it is “crazy bomb building lunatic” maybe you should just walk away.<\/p>\n

Not a sermon, just a thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
