"Tigers feeding off Toronto kinsmen, group says"
COLIN FREEZE
Globe and Mail Update

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Some Toronto detectives have long suggested the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam have “tithed” members of Toronto's 200,000-strong community, though few community members have spoken out about this practise.

Human Rights Watch says the fundraising is real, widespread, and has lately kicked into overdrive, as the LTTE prepare to wage a “final” war meant to win Sri Lankan Tamils independence"

"Man charged in UNC assault claims Quran supports attack"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The students at UNC may be surprised to hear this claim from Taheri-azar, since their professors made sure they wouldn't read, and probably wouldn't even know about, the passages of the Qur'an that mandate violence against unbelievers when they were required to read Michael Sells' selective and sanitized Approaching the Qur'an right after 9/11. From AP, with thanks to James:

RALEIGH, N.C. -- The University of North Carolina graduate charged with driving a sport utility vehicle through a plaza at the school, which he called revenge for America's treatment of Muslims, said in a letter the assault was justified based on his reading of Islam's holy book.
"Allah gives permission in the Koran for the followers of Allah to attack those who have raged war [sic] against them, with the expectation of eternal paradise in case of martyrdom," Mohammed Taheri-azar wrote in a two-page letter sent to a television news reporter and anchor at WTVD-TV, an ABC affiliate station in Durham...."

"Taheri-azar Writes to Eyewitness News"

Eyewitness News
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "(03/14/06 -- DURHAM) - The suspect in this month's attack on the UNC-CH campus has written a letter to ABC11 Eyewitness News.

Eyewitness News received the letter Monday, in response to our request for an interview. It was sent from Central Prison in Raleigh and dated Friday, March 10.

Addressed to ABC11 Eyewitness News anchor Amber Rupinta, the two-page letter includes Taheri-azar's explanation of what he was trying to accomplish in the attack.

"Allah gives permission in the Koran for the followers of Allah to attack those who have raged war against them, with the expectation of eternal paradise in case of martyrdom and/or living one's life in obedience of all of Allah's commandments found throughout the Koran's 114 chapters..."
"The U.S. government is responsible for the deaths of and the torture of countless followers of Allah, my brothers and sisters. My attack on Americans at UNC-CH on March 3rd was in retaliation for similar attacks orchestrated by the U.S. government on my fellow followers of Allah in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, and other Islamic territories. I did not act out of hatred for Americans, but out of love for Allah instead. "

Taheri-azar is charged with nine counts of attempted murder in the March 3 attack."
