US: Cab Driver Runs Down Students After "Religious Debate"
Let me be blunt: the cab driver's religion is not mentioned in the news story, so I'm guessing he's a Muslim: Cab driver arrested for running over student after religious debate
A cab driver was arrested Sunday after police said he ran over one of his passengers after they got into a religious argument.Ibrahim Ahmed, 37, a driver for United Cab, was arrested and charged with assault and attempted homicide for trying to hit two customers early Sunday morning.
"When they exited the vehicle, after having paid the cab driver for their fare, that's when the cab driver chased them down across the parking lot and ran them down," Officer John Pepper told WSMV-TV in Nashville.Jeremy Invus was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with serious injuries. Another passenger, Andrew Nelson, avoided the cab.[...]

As I've said elsewhere, I'm sure those students were just trying to prove islam was violent, by throwing themselves under that cab, and the driver was just an innocent victim of islamophobia. (Yes, sarcasm, waiting to see how Wolf Blitzer interprets it if mentioned at all). Or perhaps they left the cabbie a lousy tip?

I was going to register and post a comment, but then I read the T&C and I may have been reported to my ISP. Maybe if I find the time in an internet cafe, I can post:
"While I understand the need to be respectful of the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh), I sometimes struggle to find the words to sound respectful about someone who got his sexual kicks with a 9 year old girl and whos idea of an afternoon's entertainment was watching hundreds of men and boys beheaded after the siege of Medina.
I'm not much beyond 'homicidal paedophile' currently."

Didn't watch Fox but everywhere else it was a big mystery how this quiet young man could have done such a thing? I'm still betting they stiffed him on the tip. Let's see if he can claim the accelerator stuck and steering locked up? In a way, except for a person being injured, it would be better if all those who want to commit terrorism blew their cool and did something stupid like this first, provided our government was actually going to do something about it, before he has to go shoot up a mall and leave people wondering why he did it. Guns kill people, but islam doesn't, right?

There is a large somali population in Nashville. Their community center has gotten a grant of over 400,000 from the local, state and federal governments (our tax dollars at work). Much of the money is supposed to go for work with abused women. That's a joke!
They have been in the public eye for five years now, lawsuits against companies like Dell Computers and Whirlpool for letting them have time for their prayers, for finding a "desecrated" koran and chiding the police for their lack of enthusiasm in finding the perps, etc. They're the foot soldiers for the muslim brotherhood here.
