Attempted Murder 'For Allah', While Terrorising His Fellow Students - Isn't That Islamic Terrorism?

Topics: Understanding Islam

On Mohammad Taheri-azar, that Ianian UNC graduate that drove a rented silver Jeep Grand Cherokee into The Pit, a central area on the UNC-CH campus around noon on Friday - to "revenge the deaths of Muslims all over the world"::

A suspect who is accused of hitting students with a sport utility vehicle at the University of North Carolina made his first court appearance Monday.
Mohammad Taheri-azar, a 2005 UNC-Chapel Hill graduate, smiled and waved before his hearing Monday. Taheri-azar told the courtroom that he was "thankful for the opportunity to spread the will of Allah."

As he left court, Taheri-Azar told reporters, "the truth is my lawyer." When asked if he was trying to kill people, he said yes.

Michelle Malken asks, "Can we call it terrorism yet"?

From the article, some student groups held a demonstration in the Pit on Monday, calling for UNC to label the incident as an act of terrorism. The students have it right, and Mohammad Taheri-Azar should indeed be charged under terrorism laws. By not doing so, we are letting political correctness dictate appeasement to those that would do Americans harm.
