Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Australia: Muslim Uber driver says he’s Islamic State leader and asks “Have you ever eaten human flesh?”

May 1, 2017 10:45 pm By Robert Spencer

“Have you ever eaten human flesh?”

What a charmer! Hey, man, not all of us are Reza Aslan.

“Have you ever eaten human flesh?, Uber driver who ‘claimed to lead Isil group’ asks passenger,” Associated Press, May 1, 2017:

Uber has suspended a driver in Australia while police investigate allegations that he told a passenger he led an organisation related to Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) and planned to blow up Parliament House, the ride-hailing company said on Monday.

The passenger, a woman who declined to be identified out of fear for her safety, said she was heading home from downtown Canberra after a night out with friends when she caught an Uber early on Sunday morning.

According to the woman, the driver said he was from Pakistan and asked if she had “ever eaten human flesh”.

He said he planned to blow up a Canberra shopping mall as well as Parliament House and told her he was not taking her to her home on the outskirts of the city but to the town of Cooma, 60 miles to the south, the woman said.

She said she told the driver to pull over at a petrol station so she could use the toilet, and called the police emergency number from there. Two police cars arrived about 10 minutes later, she said.

Police said they searched the Uber car but found nothing suspicious. Police drove the woman home and did not arrest the driver.

“Police conducted initial background checks and established there was no threat to the public or the complainant,” a police statement said.

It said an investigation of the woman’s allegations was continuing with the involvement of national police and security agencies.

The driver’s access to the Uber app was restricted when the company became aware of the allegations, Uber said….

    ………………….

    I know that’s the kind of Uber driver I want responding when I call for a cab…sarc/off

    I’m so glad this woman escaped. It sounds as though he planned to rape and murder here. *Very* disturbing.

      I’m shocked he stopped to let her use the toilet!

      But no worries … nothing to be concerned with here … They can put him on their ‘watch list’, and then when he blows something up, they can say, ‘We had him in our watch list!’ Always inspires confidence that everything is under control ….

        It was for selfish reasons, he wanted his captive to have an empty bomb-bay. Who wouldn’t.

        Just think, it was only a few years ago that Australia was totally peaceful, almost to the point of being boring. Just import islam and the place erupts with violence and division.

    Sounds like Uber is doing more than the cops.

    The average woman is not likely to make up such a story and go so far as to call the police.

    If they only *watch* him and put his *name on a list*…those things won’t hinder his plans one bit.

    Then she can say she told them his plans and didn’t give in to the phobia thingy the moslims all cry over.

    Glad that she had the presence of mind to get away.

    All good, then. Except if he eats someone and/or blows up Parliament House like he threatened.

      And even then the globalists won’t care unless he eats one of them.

      If a non-Muslim said what the cabbie said to a fare, he’d be questioned and probably sent to a mental health evaluation.

    Taxi driving is dangerous because the driver never knows who is getting into the car with them…and passengers never know if the driver is a maniac or not…Cab rides usually work out OK but it is always a crap shoot…

    After ‘Have you ever eaten human flesh?’ the next frequently asked question Aussie Uber drivers ask their passengers is ‘Where to?’

    Sad as it is, this is nothing new—they are faithfully following their cult which promotes & practises violence & hatred. They come from war-torn countries & want to create violence in the west I am just over it.
