RALEIGH, N.C. -- The man who hit nine people with a sport utility vehicle on the University of North Carolina's Chapel Hill campus wrote a letter to a television reporter saying he read the Quran's 114 chapters 15 times and found that the Muslim holy book justified the attack.
''I did not act out of hatred for Americans, but out of love for Allah instead,'' Mohammed Taheri-azar, 22, wrote in a letter to Amber Rupinta dated March 10 posted on WTVD's Web site.
Police say that just before lunchtime March 3, Taheri-azar drove a rented 2006 Jeep Cherokee through the Pit, a popular gathering place at the school from which he graduated. The SUV hit nine people, but none was injured seriously. He then drove off and calmly called 911 to surrender.
Taheri-azar faces one charge of attempted first-degree murder and a felony assault count for each of the nine people hit. He is being held in lieu of $5.5 million bail.
In the letter, Taheri-azar reiterated what he has told law officers and a 911 dispatcher, that the attack ''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.''
Taheri-azar wrote that he began his readings of the Quran in June 2003. He called the book ''a scientific and mathematical miracle, so there can be no doubt that it is from a supernatural source.''
"I did not act out of hatred for Americans, but out of love for Allah instead"
Well I love pizza, but that doesn't mean I'm going to try to kill people!
Does it indeed? Well, Mo, it's OK - the Constitution justifies throwing your sorry ass in jail for about a decade. You don't like it, take it up with Allah.
that would not be painfull enough.
"a scientific and mathematical miracle, so there can be no doubt that it is from a supernatural source."
...so are my text books, but they're not supernatural.
Quran justified his attacks eh ?.......well the Bible and a NC Court will direct his punishment.......
Matthew 5:38
"You have heard that it was said,'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.' (WEB)
Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: (ASV)
You have knowledge that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: (BBE)
Ye have heard that it has been said, Eye for eye and tooth for tooth. (DBY)
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: (KJV)
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. (WBS)
"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.' (WEY)
Ye heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth; (YLT)
This is very familiar.
It's what the Klan says after crossburnings and lynchings. "It's not that we hate them, it's because we love the white race," etc etc. etc.
At least he didn't draw any offensive cartoons. Thank goodness.
And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ... Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the Holy Pin.
Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out.
Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."
I made the decision to continue my studies and to graduate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill so that the world will know that Allah’s servants are very intelligent....
I know that the Qur’an is a legitimate and authoritative holy scripture since it is completely validated by modern science and also mathematically encoded with the number 19 beyond human ability.
Rii-iii-iiight.
"I know that the Qur’an is a legitimate and authoritative holy scripture since it is completely validated by modern science and also mathematically encoded with the number 19 beyond human ability."
Okey dokey.
Having fought in military combat, and having studied nut cases somewhat, I find the arguments of some nut cases funny, when they pretend they are in military combat.
If this particular nut case wishes to believe his action constitutes military combat because his religious book told him so, then let him chew on something equally stupid while he rots in jail.
I happen to think we removed the Taliban and we removed Saddam because they were co-conspirators in the actions against America. Now we have a lone nut case who takes action against Americans. How does he have a ghost of a prayer of a chance of anything working out for him if we could flatten two countries half way around the globe for having had the same intentions?
I simply find it lewdly obfuscating that someone would pretend that his study of the Koran justifying this crime is somehow news worthy. Lewd, in that somehow the Koran deserves reverence for all the abominations justified in its name.
Okay - wow - agreed.
Thanks, Sundog... and I mean it with all my heart.
Riiiigggghhht.
L
Allah’s servants are very intelligent. Hmmmmm not smart enough to drive well enough to do the job he set out to do. Hang him and send him on his way to Allah .
"The liberals would have him hanged for that alone."
...or reward him with moral support, for being devoted to the teaching of his religion? After all, who are we to tell what is right?
This number 19 again! What is so exciting about it? What am I missing?
''I did not act out of hatred for Americans, but out of love for Allah instead,''
Pretty handy little book this Koran or Quran. Apparently it justifies any and every thing they have done or may want to do.
