Because of FR rules, we can only link but not excerpt.
Summary: At preliminary court hearing, the victims testified that the cab driver ran them over after they disapproved of his statement that Hitler had done the world a great service by attempting to exterminate the Jews.
This was the content of the "religious disagreement" mentioned in earlier reports.
The accused, http://cmsimg.tennessean.com/apps/pbcsi.dll/bilde?Site=DN&Date=20070227&Category=NEWS03&ArtNo=702270363&Ref=AR&Profile=1017&MaxW=160, Mr. Ibrahim Ahmed.
Sudden Jihad Syndrome.
Funny, I don't see that as a "religious" argument. Genocide is not a religious act and the Koran calls Jews (and Christians) "people of the book"
I would tend to agree with you.
Sounds like a Kermit Washington defense.
You are KIDDING? Thanks for the report.
This story has just fallen into a black hole as far as the national media is concerned.
There are 40 armed conflicts in the world. In 39 of these wars Muslims are involved. Poor Muslims, everybody pick'n on them.
Nothing to see folks, move along, move along.
Interesting side-note: I was shopping at my local Aldi the other day, when a customer of apparent Middle Eastern ethnicity (based on his clothing and accent) got into a very heated argument with the cashier a few aisles down. The security guard came by and eventually escorted the customer away. I passed by the security guard and asked him what his problem was. He repled that he was angry that the customer in front of him was purchasing pork products, and that he didn't want them on the same conveyor as his stuff. I kid you not, folks...
I was shocked at the extent of the victim's injuries--a broken pelvis as well as tibia (leg). And I think the following sums up the issue:
"The crime scene was marked by acceleration marks, not skid marks," [Metro Officer John] Pepper said.
A lot of people don't get how huge these cultural demands are. Either we fuel radicals or we clamp down on the cultural demands.
THAT's the time to bring out the BOB EVANS 100% Pork Sausage Patties and PILE EM ON the conveyor belt...;-)
Leave them tucked under the seats of taxi cabs.
Ah, but the trick is that Muslims regard the "hadiths" as superceding any Quranic verses on the matter.
