A Mohammed again

A few months ago I quoted an article my Mark Steyn that claimed that "these days, whenever something goofy turns up on the news, chances are it involves a fellow called Mohammed."

Anyway, did not think much about it lately, what with the big Mohammed news and terrible blasphemous cartoons. But it came to my mind again about two weeks ago, when a man rented the biggest SUV he could find and decided to drive it through a crowd, injuring nine in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. By an amazing coincidence, the guy's name is Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar. By an even more amazing coincidence, he did it "to avenge the deaths of Muslims all over the world".

He told the judge that he considers his upcoming trial to be an opportunity to spread the word of Allah, and that Allah is going to be his defense attorney, too. Don't know if Allah has passed the bar exam in North Carolina.
