And what happens to the terrorist? He merely gets suspended.

Outraged lawmakers demanded Abdul-Jalil be fired immediately, but Bloomberg said he is a civil service employee.
...yet only last month, Bloomberg did this....

Bloomberg immediately fired a city worker when he was caught taking smoking breaks. Check this out...

"Last month a story about city employees and their smoking breaks drove the mayor bonkers and he fired a well-respected city employee for the crime of smoking in public. Although the story indicated that the smokers highlighted in the story were exceeding their smoke break allotment, subsequent evidence, uncovered by the paper that wrote the original story indicates that the terminated employee was dismissed unjustly.

The employee, Bob Swinton, has retained legal assistance so cannot speak directly about this case. His wife, however, does want to set the record straight: What happened to my husband was wrong and we will get our day in court. My husband was used as a scape goat in his campaign and the sad part is, he does not care that he has wrecked our lives because he is surrounded by money and power. My husband is so depressed and I hope he survives this. I have to push myself to get out of bed every day just to function and to show my children that I am not quitting."

Yet Abdul keeps collecting his paycheck. Something is wrong here.

Never fear, the ACLU will get him his job back and a nice settlement.

"We have to remove this cancer and make sure it is never allowed to spread again," fumed Peter Vallone Jr. (D-Queens),

And what happens to the terrorist? He merely gets suspended.
