‘You Believe in Allah, I Believe in Torture’

Al-Sheikh said in his statement he gave on Friday that he was shot in the leg and despite his cooperation with the soldiers, he was told to thank the Prophet Jesus for still being alive. Al-Sheikh was also made to slander Islam.

The Captive said, "The American soldier asked, ‘do you believe in anything?’ When he received the answer, ‘I believe in Allah,’ he said, ‘but I believe in torture and I will torture you.’"

Meanwhile an Abu Ghraib captive was released. Even though exact numbers have not been released, the U.S. administration announced that 472 would be set free. Last week, 315 were freed. Maj. Gen. In charge of the Prison, Geoffrey Miller, said the number of captives will be reduced to 1,500-2000.
