Driving while Muslim or a terrible beginner’s mistake?

I saw the headline: Student driver hits 6 pedestrians in crosswalk
That’s an awful tragedy, I thought to myself. I remembered incidents from my own family’s driving history. My grandmother, who didn’t learn to drive until she was 60, once backed into someone’s living room. She drove another 27 years, never using her reverse gear. If she couldn’t pull forward, she didn’t drive there, wherever “there” was. My sister, while she still had her learner’s permit, once panicked in the middle of the freeway and stopped dead. I swear my dad came home with 20 new gray hairs. My dad alleged, although I’m not sure of the truth here, that my mom once tried a u-turn in the middle of a highway. I won’t even humiliate myself by retelling my own beginner errors. So student driver stories are always harrowing.
What made the above student driver story, one that involved six potential (although, so far, no actual) fatalities, a little more interesting to me was the driver’s name: Farhat Mohammad.
And that’s really all I know: One student driver, six people plowed under, and an interesting name.

Mighty suspicions. You are right to start thinking dark thoughts about the MSM being an accomplice to crime. For they have a long and proud record of it.

It’s a sad state of affairs when we automatically suspect jihad whenever somebody with a Muslim-sounding name runs into a group of pedestrians, or accidentally sprays bullets in a mess hall, or detonates himself at an airport.
Sort of brings to mind the bumper sticker that reads, “If you don’t like my driving, stay off the sidewalk!”

Ba-a-a-a ah…ray-ay-ay-ay-ay-cists!
Greetings:
I seem to remember an incident several years ago wherein a jihadi drove an SUV into a group of students at a college in North Carolina or thereabouts. I’m sure Attorney General Holder will be all over this once he finishes with the State of Arizona.
As I said, all I have are a name and an accident. It’s just a sign of the times that I see the possibility of linkage between the name and the accident.
Incidentally, the Bay Area political climate being what it is, even if this is linkage, we’ll never be told. It’s will just vanish into the vacuum. The narrative is already in place that it’s an accident, and so it shall always be.
I just read that under sharia law, teleprompters are forbidden because they prevent their users from submitting to the absolute authority of Allah, who, as the Quran notes, preordains everything that a man ever says or thinks (even if such condemn him to Hell).
However—dang, I would make a great imam!—the Quran says nothing about hearing voices, which is what Mohammed did whenever he needed Allah to make an exception to rules regarding M’s sex life. So, I’m going to suggest to Obama that he do away with TOTUS and go directly to reciting whatever Allah tells him, thus moving us that much more quickly toward the queer and clitoris-free paradise on earth that the Allah-ites envision for us all.
Forgive me Martin Niemoller, but place the blame on Charles Martel, he inspires me.
“THEY CAME FIRST for the vuvuzelas, and I didn’t speak up because I didn’t own a vuvuzela.
THEN THEY CAME for the clitoris free paradise and I didn’t speak up because I didn’t have one of those things.
THEN THEY CAME for the Mickey D’s free toy with meal, and I didn’t speak up because I eat arugula.
THEN THEY CAME for me and by that time my teleprompter was gone.”
SADIE:
My wife and I have two ways we measure whether we’d like to spend a lot of time with a person.
In our first scenario we have been given the power to decide which 5,000 members of the entire human race will be allowed to escape to a space ark when a massive asteroid collides with and destroys the earth.
“Is he arkworthy?” my wife will ask as we ponder our like for somebody.
In the other scenario, we are stuck on a desert island where we have the power to cast away anybody who irritates us. “I’d be willing to give her 6 hours on the island before sending her out to sea,” I might say to my wife as we watch some nasally B List starlet on Leno. (So far, Lindsey Lohan is the sole winner of our “30-Second Award.”)
Anyway, SADIE, you are on the ark and have total run of the desert island for as long as you like.

How bad am I, if I kinda sorta want to let them get away with coming for the vuvuzelas?
When I used to watch baseball, I enjoyed the occasional 1-0 pitchers’ battle. But only because it was rare. These 1-0 soccer games occur so often that it would beat me down completely. I’m glad I didn’t watch “The Games”.
So, a student driver (with a Muslim name) plows into pedestrians.
Consider if a neophyte gunsman accidentally shot off his gun and wounded someone. In this case, I would expect the police to sound out his relatives, friends and neighbors, asking: “Is there any reason – ANY reason at all – this shooting could have been deliberate?” In addition, they’d be searching his room for cause.
Because someone was wounded. It *might* be deliberate, be a crime.
Similarly, if a driver plows into pedestrians, I’d expect the police to be making the same round of inquiries. ”Is there any reason – ANY reason at all – this driver might have deliberately plowed into that group of infidels?”
Tongue in cheek on the last few words, but aside from that, I’m serious that the inquiry should happen.
Perhaps one of the pedestrians looked like an Israeli. After all, consider the article Book recently linked us to that essentially told this story:
1. A company in England does business with Israel, thus supporting the IDF
2. Protesters, angry at the Gaza blockade, attacked the company and caused considerable damage.
3. The protesters went on trial. They claimed anger at the blockade justified committing the crime.
4. The judge tells the jury that that defense is appropriate
5. The jury lets them off scot free.
Conclusion: If you are angry at Israel’s blockade, you may assault anyone and everyone you think is a friend of Israel. You WILL get away with it even if charged and put on trial. Legally. In England.
Israel seems to be the canary in the coalmine that identifies where freedom and liberty, and justice, are under attack and disappearing from Western Civilization. Goodbye England. So sad to see you go. What are you transforming yourself into? Who will you be bowing to, when this transformation is complete.
End of my noodling on this almost-open-thread…

*Unless his name was Nidal Hassan and then a certain WH and a certain DOJ would be quick to disavow any connection to Islam because we’ve been told there is no war on Islam.
*The day London became a hyphenated city [Londonstan] was the beginning.
*The end came with the judicial nod of approval… 4. The judge tells the jury that that defense is appropriate.
If there is no war on radical Islam can we start one on euphemisms?
Let’s begin with a rogue Afghan…
KABUL, Afghanistan – A rogue Afghan soldier fired a rocket-propelled grenade into a group of international forces early Tuesday, killing three British troops, a military spokesman said. Four others were wounded.
