Customer at Market in Springfield Cuts Off His Hand

Igbal Asghar reached across the counter at Super Halal Meat market and passed two butchered chickens to the man with the familiar face. Then he ducked into the walk-in freezer to fetch the customer's second order, goat meat. When the butcher stepped out seconds later, the customer's severed left hand lay on the floor by the meat saw, Asghar said. The customer ran down the Springfield store's center aisle and into the front parking lot, leaving a trail of blood and yelling repeatedly that he was "not a terrorist." Outside, another witness said, the man announced that he had used the meat saw to cut off his hand "for Allah." Rescue workers arrived minutes after the incident Saturday evening and took the man -- and his detached hand -- to Inova Fairfax Hospital. "We are shaking still when we are talking about it." Nothing seemed amiss when the man approached the meat counter with his teenage son, Asghar said. The butcher said he recognized the man, whose name he did not know, as a fellow Pakistani. The man chatted on a cellphone as Asghar cut his chicken.

The man was holding aloft his bleeding left arm -- sliced several inches above the wrist -- and using his right hand to hold up a photo identification badge that hung around his neck. "We thought it was fake," Sinsunwal said of the limb. Then they heard the man mumbling calmly but angrily in a mixture of English and Urdu about working in the area and his children attending school here. "He said, 'I did this for Allah' -- God," Sinsunwal said.

No more patty cake for that bakers man.
Nice. I started my first pun thread...
I guess he's not a very handy man to have around anymore...
Muslims are Darwinists?
Islam = demonic. So this shouldn't really be too surprising.
So then wouldn't this be a hand job?
This man is obviously a member of the Religion of Pieces.
How will he wipe after using the can? They don't use toilet paper, rather their left hand.
How many hand stories we gonna get today?
Have they fingered the guy who did it yet?
