hat tip Armaros
MEMPHIS, TN – Tonight, Mohamed Ibrahim is out after posting $100 bond. Earlier in the day, he was arrested after police say he walked into several Memphis businesses and threatened to blow them up.
Court records show Ibrahim was also telling people he was Muslim, and wanted to start a jihad, or holy war, in Memphis.
Police say when they arrested him, he had a butcher knife hidden in one of his jacket sleeves.
If anyone gets the judge's name, shoot it over.
UPDATE: I have received a number of emails pointing out that the jihadi wannabe posted $100 bail and was released, PENDING HIS COURT DATE ON MONDAY.
I think releasing this devout Muslim into the general unsuspecting population for any length of time is reckless and dangerous.
Shelby County Sheriff’s Office Inmate Information BOND AMOUNT: $50,000.00

The report states that Mohamed Ibrahim, 35, threatened businesses on Poplar Avenue, Summer Avenue, Mendenhall, Perkins and Danny Thomas Boulevard.
