The Free Tarek Mehanna Official Facebook Group (yes) has posted the 1ST LETTER FROM TARIQ!!. Sounds like he'll be taking the opportunity to get his Dawa on in jail:
...I was in the prison van yesterday on my way back from court and struck up a conversation with a guy next to me who was losing it. So, I calmed him down, and told him to stay positive, and use his time here to clean his heart and mind, get stronger, and learn more about himself and his purpose in life, and that way he could gain more from prison than he ever would outside. he just looked at me and said: "That's the first time anyone has said something like that to me since I got here," and my words were quite simply and easy...
He gets into some business from the Quran and all that -- understandable for a guy facing tough times in jail -- but considering he's being held for plotting mass murder, things take on a whole new complexion, eh?

Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
