Webloggin » Muslim Cab Driver Runs Down Two in Nashville

Ibrahim Ahmed a Sunni Muslim from Somalia and a cab driver in Nashville Tennessee, intentionally ran over a passenger. He chased down visiting students from Ohio, Jeremy Invus and Andrew Nelson, after an argument over religion. This was no accident since the two men exited the cab, Ahmed also got out, accepted his fare, then: “Ahmed then returned to his cab as the students fled on foot. Ahmed then allegedly drove across a parking lot, jumped a curb and struck the two men.” (Fox News)

Investigators said the students paid their fare and were walking across a parking lot when Ahmed hit them.

Invus was taken to Vanderbilt Medical Center with serious injuries. Police said Nelson was able to dodge the cab.

Ahmed was charged with assault and attempted homicide. He was also charged with theft, because his license plate was listed as stolen.

His bond was set at $300,000. (NewsChannel5)

Fox News was one of the few, if not the only source, to identify the man as a Sunni Muslim from Somalia. Some folks don’t think this is important, but I do. You may remember the problems with Somali cab drivers at the Minneapolis – St. Paul International Airport who don’t want to carry passengers with alcohol, dogs, etc.

… United Cab manager Cherrie Machado said. … “I don’t believe he will be working here anymore, but that is up to the licensing cab board — whether they will pull his permit — and the owners of the company.”

Well thank goodness for that.
