Deranged Muslim attempts to kill UNC students with his
vehicle. Liberal Media hides the story of this terrorist
Update - Mohammad Taheri-azar, the Muslim UNC alumn who smashed his car into a group of
UNC students as an act of vengence against the alleged mistreatment of Muslims, admitted
in court today that he was trying to kill people. He declared that he is
""thankful for the opportunity to spread the will of Allah."
Meanwhile, some courageous UNC College Republicans and other patriotic groups are planning
to protest the university's feckless reluctance to classify the attack as a
terrorist incident - despite the perpetrator's repeated admission that that's
exactly what it was.
--------------------------------------------------------
Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, the 22-year-old former UNC student charged with trying to run
down other students at the University of North Carolina on March 3rd, thanked the judge
during his first appearance for the opportunity tell people about Allah.
"I'm thankful you're here to give me this trial to learn more about the will of
Allah, the creator and the merciful," Taheri-azar said to the judge during the short
hearing in Orange County District Criminal Court.
Taheri-Azar, wearing the typical orange jumpsuit of jail inmates, was escorted into the
crowded courtroom under tight security by the Orange County Sheriff's Office and was
immediately seated in the defendant's chair.
Orange-Chatham District Attorney Jim Woodall told Judge Pat DeVine that Taheri-Azar had
been charged with nine counts of attempted murder and nine counts of assault with a deadly
weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury. He then read through each of the 18
warrants, naming each of the nine victims.
Taheri-Azar sat quietly, only glancing once to his right at the phalanx of deputies who
stood nearby. He answered each of DeVine's questions as she explained his rights and the
procedures. Susan Seahorn, an assistant public defender, stood behind his chair.
When DeVine asked Taheri-Azar if he wanted to hire his own attorney or have one appointed
for him, he answered, "I am representing myself."
Taheri-Azar spoke softly and it was difficult to hear exactly what he said. Woodall, who
was standing near him during the first appearance, later said Seahorn spoke to Taheri-azar
as he was sitting in the defendant's chair. "She whispered in his ear to stop
talking, and he said he would decide when to stop talking," Woodall said.
Although Taheri-Azar said he would represent himself, DeVine still appointed the Public
Defender's office to represent him "out of an abundance of caution," she said.
DeVine told Taheri-Azar that his bond would remain at $5.5 million and that he would
remain in custody under a safekeeping order at Central Prison in Raleigh.
After speaking briefly in a backroom with two representatives of the Public Defender's
office, deputies escorted Taheri-Azar to a sheriff's car that was waiting to transport him
back to the prison. As news reporters shouted questions at him about representing himself,
Taheri-Azar replied, "Allah is my lawyer."
