No Terrorism Here, Part II: Jeephadi's 911 Call

Nope, doesn't sound like terrorism to me:

A University of North Carolina graduate from Iran, accused of running down nine people on campus to avenge the treatment of Muslims, said at a hearing Monday that he was “thankful for the opportunity to spread the will of Allah.�

Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar was accused of driving a sport utility vehicle through The Pit, a popular campus gathering spot, injuring nine people Friday. None of the victims was seriously hurt.

Police Chief Derek Poarch said Taheri-azar told investigators he intentionally hit people to “avenge the deaths of Muslims around the world.�

Good Lord All Mighty, this country has become so Islamophobic that an Islamist "student" from Iran can't even rent an SUV, plow into a gathering of infidels, express his gratitude at being afforded the opportunity to murder polytheists according to "Allah's will," and "avenge the deaths of Muslims around the world" by striking at the heart of the American Military-College-Basketball complex without reactionaries claiming it's "terrorism" of some sort.

He says "the truth" will be his lawyer. I just called "the truth," who assured me, "No way, I ain't going anywhere near that."

Listen to the 911 call at the link. The arrogance, and coolness about the attempted murder, is astonishing. He mentions he hit fifteen people without a hint of remorse or emotion at all. It's like he's reporting a cable outage.

"It's to punish the government of the United States for their actions around the world."

Not terrorism, though. Terrorism is the use of violence to achieve political ends, and that so clearly doesn't apply here.

But remember: the most pressing problem in America is anti-Muslim violence.

He gives his phone number on the call (uncensored). Not that I imagine that will be working anymore.

It's like Blade Runner. They only look human. Voight-Kamff them, and you'll find their sick mechanical programming allows of absolutely no empathy for their fellow human beings.
