NEW YORK.- In their first interview together since their son Carlos Amonte’s arrest by federal agents in Kennedy Airport on terrorism charges, his parents say his alleged accomplice the Pakistani Mohamed Alessa deceived their son and defended his quiet nature.

Interviewed on local television yesterday Pedro and Sabrina Almonte affirm their son’s arrest and incarceration has devastated the entire family.

They said they were bothered every time Alessa went to their house in Elmwood, New Jersey to show their son videos of the war in Iraq and incite him.

They also complained of what they call the mockery of Americans against the two suspects.

“As a mother I never thought that my son could fall into that, because that wasn’t the education we gave him,” Mrs. Almonte said and described the alleged terrorist as a “sensible, noble, good, peaceful and intelligent boy.”

“The only thing I know is that my son never bad did things and if he did them, he was after getting together with that other boy, but he is not like that,” Mr. Almonte said.

“Perhaps from the bad influence of that friend, who is hyper, rebellious, and put him in that serious problem, because my son always swore to me that he had joined that religion (Islam), to do good.”

1. What is a 21+ y/o man doing living under his parents roof (in the USA)?

2. If the parents objected to their son's friend, why allow him into their house?

3. Poor parenting is most likely the cause of his (son's) lack of will and convictions.

4. Do these folks have other children? If so, the FEDs need to keep an eye on them as well. They are sheep, not leaders.

5. Why do most all parents not accept responsiblility for their adlut children living in their home and defend their poor judgements? They almost always blame others for their children's misdeeds and FUs.

Ayy "el pobre"!! Eso mismo decia la mamá de Ozama Bin Laden: "Ozamita no se mete con nadie", "Ozamita es un buen muchacho", "Estoy segura que fue influenciado por Aladino y su Genio" ------ Señora, Señor, despierten !! Con el solo hecho de ver esa "mirada" de "Loco-asesino-maniático" que tiene su "angelito" basta para catalogarlo como un "sucio terrorista"; Amor no quita conocimiento!!

What else did we think his Mom would say?

Hell, Jeffrey Dahmer's Mom thought her son was a "sensible, noble, good, peaceful and intelligent boy” .

The prisons on visiting day are full of Mothers with sensible, noble, good, peaceful and intelligent boys.”

Half are on top, half on the bottom

it seems that from your post that youhad never had raised a child to maturity. a parent tries hard to raise their child to be a good and resposible person. however, raising a child can semm like a game of chance and anything can happen to influence your child to take the wrong path. on the subject of religion, we should tread easily on that matter. individuals that convert to a more demanding religion do so out of deep convictions. religion here in the west is constantly being diluted and compromised.

Looking at his photo that reads "I am pretty tough and mean, and I am also pretty dumb and MAD" look, this guy is a nutcase, and should be sent to the appropriate mental institution for a good dose of electro SCHOCK THERAPY.

Hood terrorist attack......are you kiddin me !

The Black Sheep law that the Swiss tried to pass is starting to appeal to me. This son should be disavowed by his family for a disgrace the their honor if they have such.. Not coddled and excused for his actions.
In the Arab world a young man or woman disgraces the family they are killed. He embreaced this code. Let him live by it.
