Antiterrorism Rally at UNC-CH

Students To Protest UNC's Reluctance To Label Pit Incident Terrorism

'I Don't Know What Was Going Through His Head,' Suspect's Friend Says

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Protests are planned for Monday in the same area of campus at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where, authorities said, a former student plowed a sport utility vehicle into nine people Friday afternoon.

The College Republicans, Americans for an Informed Democracy and the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies are sponsoring the event, scheduled for 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. Monday in "The Pit," a central area of the UNC-Chapel Hill campus. The event is open to the public and free of charge.

Police said Mohammad Taheri-azar, a 2005 UNC-Chapel Hill graduate, admits he acted to "avenge the death of Muslims around the world." UNC police and local authorities, however, say they have not taken a stance on that interpretation, but are simply repeating what the suspect has told them.

UNC-Chapel Hill student leaders said that Monday's protest is aimed at the reluctance of the university to label Friday's incident as an act of terrorism.

[Read on here. Hat tip: Michelle Malkin, who has more here.]

OK, folks, we have an Iranian who tried to kill a bunch of American students to protest "mistreatment" of Muslims around the world. And the UNC-CH powers-that be don't think it was terrorism? Give me a break.

I notice in Michelle's post the head campus cop says the perp is Iranian but he doesn't know his immigration status. Who wants to bet me he didn't overstay a student visa?

Bryan Preston has an interesting philosophical question here.
