UNC Attacker Sought Revenge (Religious Revenge, not Terrorism)

But Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar appears to have acted alone, campus police say

A UNC-Chapel Hill graduate told investigators he intentionally drove into a crowd of students on campus Friday to "avenge the deaths of Muslims around the world," UNC Police Chief Derek Poarch said Saturday.

Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, 22, told detectives to go to the Carrboro apartment he shared with two other men, saying authorities would find evidence there that would explain his decision to hurt students. Poarch declined to say what, if anything, was found, but emphasized that Taheri-azar appears to have acted alone.

It does not appear that Friday's attack had anything to do with a recent editorial criticizing Arabs and a cartoon depicting the prophet Muhammad in the campus newspaper, both of which angered many Muslim students, Poarch said at a news conference Saturday.

But because Taheri-azar's statements to police suggested a political motive, campus authorities contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation, he said.

He will have a first appearance in court Monday.

What's new?

This is now being referred to as Religious Revenge, coining a new phrase to avoid the use of the word terrorism, no doubt.

What's missing?

Any trace of the remarks made on Friday that "if he had accomplished what he had originally planned, there would be a lot of people dead."

Hmm... "religious revenge". Does this mean it's open season on Germans by any Jew with a weapon?

For a Muslim, Religious Revenge is the same as Terrorism....

What's missing is the MSM's inability to truthfully label the actions of Muslims. The MSM is so seemingly entangled by various PC codes that they simply can only hint of the truth of some actions.

Yet they still continue to give each other coverage awards.

I'm noticing that on the news, the constant refrain is that law enforcement is "trying to discover why" he did it. What? He already said why he did it. Take him at his word.

Why not? Did he have cartoons of Muhammad hanging up in his apartment?

Another liberal-MSM white washing of the truth.

It's almost like they had to invent a new word in order NOT to say what everybody in this state knows already.

So now I want to know just how many OTHER things like this have occurred in this country that have been quietly hushed up.

And I want to know how many people have to be INVOLVED before it "qualifies" as terrorism.

The interesting part is going to be what is NOT classified as "Religious Revenge," isn't it?

He also registered to vote several times; only citizens are allowed to vote.

Hahahahaha! I think it is safe to say he registered as a Democrat, no matter what his citizenship status.

So far, Taheri-azar has been very cooperative with police, Poarch said. He will appear for the first time before a judge at a hearing in Orange County District Court on Monday.

Authorities used some sort of explosive to get into Taheri-azar's apartment in the University Commons complex in Carrboro on Friday. Charred fragments of molding and siding surrounded the doorway Saturday, while debris, including a white plastic kitchen trash can, latex gloves, hinges, glass and pieces of a doorknob littered the landing. The door itself, blackened and warped, leaned backward into the foyer, leaving the inside of the four-bedroom apartment open to view. Neither of Taheri-azar's two roommates appeared to be home.

You have to use explosives to enter a cooperative perp's home?

I guess my new acronym, ROJ ("Religion of Jihad), is not acceptable? That's too bad, I like it. ;)

I do not know, trubl; it is obviously something that we in the great unwashed masses cannot understand.
