To punish defendants for conduct that was not alleged orproven at trial deprives them of the opportunity to fully develop the facts andevidence necessary to refute accusations of terrorist connection oraffiliation. Moreover, it creates perverse incentives for the government, whichcan charge lesser conduct that is easier to establish at trial, and then invokeinflammatory allegations of terrorist connection at the sentencing stage.[570]

Human Rights Watch has previously reported on how prosecutors usethe threat of sentencing enhancements to obtain pleas. See Human Rights Watch, AnOffer You Can't Refuse.
It was meant for entertainment. It is a story. It teaches us certain valuable lessons in life. If we wanted the exact historical facts we could study them at university, but what pleasure is there in that. We enjoy the actors and how they portray the roles they play. Had it been presented in historical fashion we probably would not enjoy it. Allow the writers, producers and directors to use artists licence and produce something everyone would enjoy and continue to watch to the end.
Excellent. All credit to everyone who took this initiative to pass on this great history to we people. Every Muslim should have to study this great history, to understand what should be the actual goal of life. It is not all about developing and creating states , it is about the joint Muslim character of Muslims.Everyone should watch this great TV serial based upon real facts.
