Nashville Cabbie Runs Down Students In Religious Argument

Update: Correction on the name here. Ibrahim Ahmed

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A local cab driver allegedly tried to run over two customers after a fight over religion became heated.

The incident happened early Sunday morning on the Vanderbilt campus and left one man hospitalized and a cab driver arrested, said police

Two students visiting from Ohio were coming from a bar downtown when they got into an argument with their driver over religion, said police. After they paid the driver he allegedly ran them down in a parking lot.

Ibrihim Ahmned, of United Cab, was arrested and charged with assault, attempted homicide and theft. One of the passengers, Andrew Nelson, managed to outrun the cab but Jeremy Invus was taken to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center with serious injuries, said police.

Ahmed has been convicted of misdemeanors including evading arrest in a motor vehicle and driving on a suspended license, said police.

Ahmed was charged with theft because police said the license plate on his cab was listed as stolen. His bond is set at $300,000.

Another case of Ace's - "Sudden Jihadi Syndrome"

Every Mosque should be treated like a war room.Why aren't these cats deported?

[Fred Beloit]

You guys have it wrong. This guy is merely another "excitable boy" or a victim of the post trauma disease.

The sound of crickets is heard in the distance as we wait for the left to denounce this act of violent intolerance.

"The sound of crickets is heard in the distance as we wait for the left to denounce this act of violent intolerance."

You mean the one that hasn't been proven to be the case yet?

[templar knight]

The "religion of peace" sure is peaceful, and it believes in free speech, too. Ha! I wonder whether he took their fare before trying to kill them.

[w3]

No, I was not referring to the Duke case.

[templar knight]

Yep, I see he did take the fare before his murderous attempt. Deport the bastard.

A story on Bagdahd "security forces" that the 101st Keyboard Division isn't talking too much about: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article1400661.ece

Legalize, we were all wondering why you and Bob, and the rest of Bob's sock puppets, haven't commented on Dan's post. Cat got your tongue?

[w3]

I do feel sorry for liberals who read the news and accept it as true without any critical analysis whatsoever. Just because Mohammed al-Jabouri claims he was robbed doesn't mean he was. I mean, at least in Virginia you have an arrest, a person in a hospital and some eye-witnesses you can question.

Now if you are not willing to comment on the "alleged" violent act committed by a cab driver in your own backyard because it has not been proven sufficiently to you, why snark on about some event that may or may not have taken place against poor Mohammed al-Jabouri half way across the globe?

[templar knight]

Because Legalize is stupid, w3. Too stupid to realize that the jihad is a worldwide phenomena, it is coming to the US sooner rather than later, and he refuses to see the truth, very much like how the Persians and Byzantines reacted to the same group of fundamentalists in the 7th C.

[Legalize]

I did comment on the sotry, templar. Open your meth-riddled eyes. I noted that the moron-o-sphere, populated by you, are fast to decry "OMG Islamofascistnazihippiecommievegans are everywhere in America!!!!1111one," while running about with your hair on fire, in spite of the fact that this story in particular doesn't you know, really establish anything. Keep in mind, the same people who think the jihadists are actually infiltrating every corner of our society, determined that the "scare" in Boston a few weeks ago was a "dry run," and that the folks involved should be rung up on terrorism charges. In short, detective, your ramblings over the impending mandating of shari'ia law in the U.S. is merely the product of your 9/11 impotence syndrome, and meth-induced paranoia.

[Legalize]

No, w3, stories like this aren't common-place in Bagdahd at all. It is entirely unreasonable to assume that stories of militia-men infiltrating security forces have any ounce of credibility to them. I mean, the military never states that one of the biggest problems they face in Iraq is that the security forces are largely corrupt, incompetent, and often populated by Shi'ia militias. Yet, one paragraph about a "religious argument" in Nashville raises the red flad of "JIAHD"!!!!

What was that you were saying about not reading critically?

[Fred Beloit]

I'm curious, legalize, are you a meth supplier? How would you know who takes meth and who doesn't?

[Legalize]

The same way templar and his increadibly orignial winger pals on every single winger blog, know that non-wingers spend all their time toking bongs while waiting in the welfare line, so that they can avoid ever having to make substantive points - I'm just playing the idiotic game invented by intellectual cowards, because that's all these people seem to understand.

[w3]

Legalize,

Thank you for the admission that since this story fits what you think you already know about what is happening in Iraq, you are ready to accept every detail of it as true.

[Fred Beloit]

Well if you don't like "wingers", why spend so much time with us? And by the way, how come you aren't arrested while you're toking in line? And why does the media take your position of denial when Alis go berserk? So many questions, so little time.

[BobInStamford]

Looks like there's a counter-surge going on. Apparently the goatherders took your leader's invitation to 'bring it on' seriously.

Yep...bury your head in the sand, dopehead, and never wonder why people get run over by cabs in Nashville, SUV's in No. Carolina, and shot to death in malls in Salt Lake City, all by people who profess to be members of the ROP. Nah, nothing to see here, folks, move along...move along.

And he comes here to play an idiotic game, he says. Why would he do that, you ask? Does that make any sense to anybody? Other than Legalize, that is. The guy who decries being accused of toking bongs, and then accuses other people of being meth addicts. He is nothing else if not "objective", correct?

[DANEgerus]

'after' an argument about religion.

So the cabbie had time to stew... and then attempt an assassination.

And nobody needed to ask what religion did they?

[templar knight]

Legalize, why in the World would I ever even want to make a substantive point with the likes of you? Answer me that question. Frankly, I wouldn't give you the time of the day if I knew you, so why should I be any different here? I'm sure you wouldn't want to accuse me of being a hypocrite.

[BobInStamford]

Wow, the oil baron is pretty testy today. He's now afraid of muslims and all of nyc. Better turn on Fox and check the Terror Level, brave patriot (I hear its ELEVATED!!!). You may need to get out your plastic sheets and duct tape and secure your trailer.

[templar knight]

Bob, got your pants cleaned and your hands washed already, huh?

[Purple Avenger]

"And nobody needed to ask what religion did they?"

Those Quakers are real testy aren't they...

[Cindi]

Thankful he isn't Catholic, real tired of being sued!

[templar knight]

While you're afraid of global warming and climate change. Better check with the Weather Channel, Bob, it might be heating up, which would be a welcome change as far as I'm concerned. So bring that Global Warming on Bob! Surge on! Complete the mission! Stay the course! Mission accomplished! Gobbletegook! And did I mention "Surge On"?
