Allah Demands I Be Allowed To Play Halfback For Your Soccer Team
...or I'll blow you up.
20-year-old male who wanted to join the USF soccer team was arrested Feb. 6 after threatening an unidentified staff member in the Athletic Department.
According to a report from University Police, Moroccan native and illegal alien Nahil Mouad made "verbal threats of immediate harm" to a USF employee.
The report said Mouad chased after the victim saying he is "from Morocco," is Muslim and is going to "blow up" the unidentified staff member.
A nutter? Seems so. Just a lone nut, and no, I don't mean that sarcastically. There's a lot of doubt in the article about whether or not he is actually dangerous, or just enjoys telling people he might blow them up if he doesn't get what he wants.
Still, there seems to be a certain culturally-engendered casualness about threatening to blow people up.
Must be something particular to those who play soccer, I'm guessing.
Thanks to jdubious.
