He was charged for threatening to blow up local businesses in the name of jihad -- two days after he was released on $100 bond after being picked up with a butcher knife and making the same threat. An update on this story. "Man charged with terrorism: Wanted to blow up businesses," by Chris Conley for the Commercial Appeal, December 29 (thanks to Virgil):
...Mohamed Ibrahim, 35, is charged with commission of a terrorist act, false reporting and disorderly conduct. He is in the Shelby County Jail on a $50,000 bond....Friday afternoon, Memphis police dispatchers issued an alert that a man driving a black Chrysler PT Cruiser had threatened to "blow up the business" at 300 Poplar, a BP gas station....
After Ibrahim was arrested and placed in a police cruiser, he began cursing police and attempting to kick out the windows, according to the charges. Officers subdued him with pepper spray.
Police determined that Ibrahim had earlier that day made threats to blow up seven other businesses around town, according to the charges....
An FBI agent called to the scene recovered three cassette tapes described as "Islamic" in a police affidavit, and took the GPS from the vehicle.
Court records show that Ibrahim had been arrested two days earlier with a 10-inch butcher knife concealed in his jacket sleeve and charged with unlawful possession of a weapon. He was released on $100 bond.
That day, Ibrahim had threatened other businesses and "stated he was a Muslim, and wanted to start jihad here in Memphis," according to the weapon charge.
I hope it was Bacon Flavoured pepper spray.
Wait! How did that get past the censors? Somebody call CAIR!

Please don't tell me this story is actually true as reported and this guy is walking out after posting a $100 bond
No there is something wrong with this story. No judge could possibly be that callous or careless based on what police said occurred.
The whole thing must have been a complete misunderstanding;
ya that's it. I'll go with that.
And here's what happens when you don't take the initial threat seriously......
The guy is a member of the organization "Orcs and Trollocs for Muhammad".
I'd like to see more information on the judges that set each of these bonds. Stuff like name, religious preference, etc..
The offense was essentially the same, so why the disparity in bonds?
Annie Oakley, don't fret they will set him loose again soon enough. This time he assaulted police officers so that likely explains the different treatment. As for the Judge that sprung him the first time, since it's Memphis I am going to go out on a limb and guess that the Judge is a tried and true Democrat loyal to the Obamanation.
Anyhow, just ask Janet Napolitano, she will tell you this is only an isolated act and not part of anything greater.
Hahaha, Stonesriver!
I was in Iraq with a bunch of The Wayward Saints Of Memphis. Not the sort of people I'd care to threaten with a knife. Tactical nukes or something larger, perhaps.....but certainly not anything as puny as a butcher's knife. I was glad we were on the same side.
Yet another self-hating idiot, not knowing, or deliberately ignoring the fact that mahoundianism is as good for blacks as the KKK, white supremacism or National Socialism. I know I've already posted this a million times, but here, a href="http://www.islam-watch.org/Larry/Blacks-Muslims-Should-Be-Ashamed.htm">here, here, here, here and here are just a few articles on how it has been so for the last 1400. Yet these self-hating mahound-worshippers don't get it.
And, once again, let's get that excerpt from Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel here, just so any moron still believing that crap vomited by Buraq Hussein Osama about how "mahoundianism promotes racial equality" in Cairo, whether they're mahoundians or simply the usual dhimmi apologists, will have another chance to see for themselves that such a belief has no base on reality. It's simply got no hard facts to back it up:
"All the girls at madrassah were white; I thought of them as white, and myself, for the first time, as black. They called Haweya (her sister) and I Abid, which meant slaves. Being called a slave – the racial prejudice this term conveyed – was a big part of what I hated in Saudi Arabia."
OMGosh, I was *in* Memphis, right off Poplar road, just three days before this. I drove around, trying to get my baby to fall asleep before we traveled back to Ohio, and I made a turn-around at a BP on Poplar Rd. It's a long road, and I'm sure there's more than one BP, but this is the closest I've ever come to a terrorist attack.
Correction: it was the day *after* the guy was arrested, but 3 days before the article came out. (eye roll) Sorry, I'm tired. We heard *nothing* about this on the news radio.
