Typical.
In the name of Allah, the merciful, the compassionate.
To whom it may concern:
I am writing this letter to inform you of my reasons for premeditating and attempting to murder citizens and residents of the United States of America on Friday, March 3, 2006 in the city of Chapel Hill, North Carolina by running them over with my automobile and stabbing them with a knife if the opportunities are presented to me by Allah.
I did intend to use a handgun to murder the citizens and residents of Chapel Hill, North Carolina but the process of receiving a permit for a handgun in this city is highly restricted and out of my reach at the present, most likely due to my foreign nationality.
I am a servant of Allah. I am 22 years of age and I was born in Tehran, Iran. My father, mother and older sister immigrated to the United States in 1985 when I was two years of age and I’ve lived in the United States ever since.
I attended elementary, middle and high school in North Carolina and I was accepted into the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I began my college career in August 2001 and graduated in December 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and philosophy with Allah’s help.
I do not wish to pursue my career as a student any further because I have no desire to amass the impermanent and temporary fame and material wealth this world has to offer. However 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.
Due to the killing of believing men and women under the direction of the United States government, I have decided to take advantage of my presence on United States soil on Friday, March 3, 2006 to take the lives of as many Americans and American sympathizers as I can in order to punish the United States for their immoral actions around the world.
In the Qur’an, Allah states that the believing men and women have permission to murder anyone responsible for the killing of other believing men and women. 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. After extensive contemplation and reflection, I have made the decision to exercise the right of violent retaliation that Allah has given me to the fullest extent to which I am capable at present.
I have chosen the particular location on the University campus as my target since I know there is a high likelihood that I will kill several people before being killed myself or jailed and sent to prison if Allah wills. Allah’s commandments are never to be questioned and all of Allah’s commandments must be obeyed. Those who violate Allah’s commandments and purposefully follow human fabrication and falsehood as their religion will burn in fire for eternity in accordance with Allah’s will.
Sincerely yours,
Mohammed Reza Taheri-Azar
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.
Guys needs 700 semesters, studing rocks to gravel to sand, currently taught at the Univesity of Ft. Levenworth Kansas.
On second thought, just hang him.
"Muslim says Quran justified attack in N.C."
...and "mein kampf" justifies the Holocaust, but that doesn't make it right!
FDR was right.
It's bad enough that he tried to kill people, but on top of that, he had to pollute the environment by driving an SUV.
The liberals would have him hanged for that alone.
"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.
"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."
