Claim: San Fran killer called himself 'terrorist' 14 injured, 1 dead, in hit-and-run rampage by man recently returned from Afghanistan. & quot;In March, a recently graduated student at the University of North Carolina, Iranian immigrant Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, drove an SUV into a crowded pedestrian zone, striking nine people. Regarded as a serious student who was "shy but friendly," Taheri-azar said he did it "out of love for Allah." " Allah gives permission in the Quran 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 Quran's 114 chapters," wrote Taheri-azar in a two-page letter sent to a television reporter and anchor at WTVD-TV, an ABC affiliate in Durham. Last month, Naveed Afzal Haq of Pasco, Wash., broke through security at the Jewish Federation Center in Seattle and announced to staff members: "I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel." The 30-year-old immediately began shooting randomly with a semiautomatic 9-mm handgun at the 18 employees and visitors in the offices. In January 2004, after apparently undergoing a religious awakening, a Saudi Arabian student in Houston killed his Jewish friend by slashing his throat. Mohammed Ali Alayed, 23, pleaded guilty to the Aug. 6 attack on Ariel Sellouk, also 23, who almost was decapitated with a knife. Houston police said no clear motive had been established, but Alayed went to a local mosque after the slaying." "This world will never become Islamic. Muslims must realize this hard fact and if they want to practice 100% Islam they must choose to move to an Islamic country. Its time muslims woke up to this fact. They cannot come into another "infidel" country and demand Islamic legislation. I find that shocking - when a non-muslim goes to a muslim country he is bound by a million islamic laws and is trated like an outsider ! Try building a church in Saudi Arabia.... but muslims will make a hue and cry if a mosque is touched in a foreign land ! Such audacity...." |
