“On Feb. 12, Muadinov made alarming statements, was detained, demanded police take him to their leader and said if he didn’t meet with President Donald Trump, ‘we would all meet Allah,’ according to the affidavit.”
Will this be dismissed as mental illness, as in so many other cases? Certainly his devout commitment to Islam, and will to commit violence against unbelievers, are clear. But no one will take much notice, if any.
“Aurora casino bomb scare suspect won’t act as own attorney for November trial,” by Harry Hitzeman, Chicago Daily Herald, October 4, 2019:
A Chicago man charged with causing a bomb scare in February in which the Hollywood Casino in Aurora was evacuated has dropped his request to represent himself in his Nov. 5 jury trial.
Musatdin M. Muadinov, 30, of the 8500 block of West Rascher Avenue, will require a Turkish interpreter and a copy of the Quran at his defense table for his trial on charges of felony disorderly conduct, which could land him in prison.
More than 150 police officers and other first responders helped evacuate the downtown casino Feb. 12 after Muadinov, who police said was dressed in “Muslim attire,” drove a large box truck to a no-parking zone on the north side of New York Street, partially blocking the valet area….
On Feb. 12, Muadinov made alarming statements, was detained, demanded police take him to their leader and said if he didn’t meet with President Donald Trump, “we would all meet Allah,” according to the affidavit.
Muadinov added that he wanted to “take over and destroy all casinos” and later told police, according to the affidavit, that he believed the casino harbored sin and he wanted to deliver his message from Allah — without hurting anyone.
