I think us infidels can figure it out...
Waiting for the first one to say it..
So why isn't this a hate crime?
Of course it didn't have anything to do with the ROP. He was just ticked that they were out of Cheezos.
You won..
This wouldn't be too hard to do, but I never thought I hear it had been done. Thank God no one was killed!
Was this a "hate crime"?
Would we be profilling to assume "Mohammed" is of the Muslim faith?
Musta been that name, "Chapel Hill" that set him off...
How dare you accuse the SUV of a hate crime...:-)
I expect the ACLU will show up to defend him, especially according to one witness he was accelerating and swerving his car to hit people rather than miss them.
Wierd. He appears to have rented the car earlier today, just to do this.
He was just expressing himself.
My thoughts exactly.
I keep telling people that they need to pay attention to the actual deeds of muslims. They only lie when the talk so judge them on only their actions.
He didn't want to get infidel blood and guts on his own car - I mean, come on - we have to have standards.
Look we all know this guy was an upstanding example of humanity until he got into the seat of an Evil SUV. He is not responsible.
There was a cartoon of Muhhamad in the UNC paper last week. So probably not a coincidence. I went to UNC. If you know the campus, you know this is a very hard area to get to with a motor vehicle. Its a good ways away from any real road access and is on the central quad of campus. Its at least a third of a mile from anywhere I can think of where you get into it with a car.
TROP and SUV's! A true Axis of Evil!
What year was the Cherokee? I seriously need a new idler wheel, fan belt and radiator?
---There was a cartoon of Muhhamad in the UNC paper last week. ---
Bingo!
Answer: Because he's not White, and this is one of the most liberla areas of the US.
SUV = 4x4? Moslim, not dumb.
When they ban SUVs only the criminals will have SUVs
Police said they would charge Taheriazar, who was a UNC student as recently as Fall 2005, with multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. Authorities are not releasing a motive, but they did say the incident was intentional.
how long before the dems/liberals demand the TSA take over security at car rental places..
He will, Im sure, be charged with a hate crime..
It was a deliberate act of evil having nothing to do with his race or color.
UNC is particularly muslim friendly so it would be a good idea to wait and see what motivated this madness.
How could this happen on the sabbath day of the religion of peace? Shouldn't the followers of this "great faith" be even more peaceful on this day?
at least we have finally answered the question...What would Mohammed drive?
Rush talked about this story. Apparently it was originally reported as a rogue SUV that did the attacking with no mention of a driver.
It's for sure they'll be calling it a hate crime long before they call it an act t*rr*r*sm.
What was his immigration status?
Does anybody have anything on the scholar ?
I would really like to know what subject he was discussing or there for
Wierd. He appears to have rented the car earlier today, just to do this.
Did he gas it up completely?
Did he only take lessons to drive it, but not park it?
oh no, was anyone driving?
Islamic SUVs?! We're in trouble.
Road rage or premature jihadulation?
I'm not so sure it's that difficult. It'd be tough to get over there from down past Dey Hall or from Raleigh Street by the Student Union, but it seems it'd be relatively easy to pop down from Lenoir Drive between Davis Library and the Upper Quad. So long as there's no service vehicle blocking the way as there usually is!
Yes. Here in NC that's still how it's being reported.
My question also.
Its a good thing he could not afford the bombs that go with the SUV
I just figured it was a disgruntled Duke fan.
Mohammed Reza Taheriazar, 23, who graduated in 2005, is in custody at the Department of Public Safety after turning himself in after the incident. He was born May 5, 1983, according to University registrar records. He was a psychology and philosophy major. He was published in The Charlotte Observer for dean's list honors in spring 2005. He is still listed as a senior in the print directory.
At about 2 p.m. a bomb threat was called into the University Commons apartment buiding D, at 303 Smith Level Road, where Taheriazar is believed to live. State Bureau of Investigations officials entered the building at 3:03 p.m. The Federal Bureau of Investigations now have arrived.
Capt. Joel Booker, of the Carrboro Police Department, said they are not sure how the threat is related to the campus incident. Officials believe Taheriazar lives in University Commons. All buildings have been cleared. Booker says there is reason to believe that there is a public threat at the building(snip)

Just another depressed young man like the one that blew himself up at the Oklahoma football game.
no terrorism, nothing to see here, move on......
You must be an intolerant racist for thinking such thoughts! (sarcasm off)
I wonder if we'll find out he shaved his body before donning his "meeting Allah" clothes.
