A Muslim cabbie was sentenced to three years in prison today (June 3, 2013) for recklessly ramming his taxi into two passengers as they insisted he had to drive them from Midtown New York to the Bronx, the Creeping Sharia website reports.
In begging unsuccessfully for a no-jail sentence, Mohammed Azam, 29, described himself as an otherwise upstanding immigrant who had become a citizen in pursuit of the American dream.
But the judge noted that Azam had lied on the stand when he claimed -- among other things -- that he believed victim Anthony Loreto was well enough to stand right up again after suffering multiple, life-threatening head fractures.
"In a fit of pique, Mr. Azam, you significantly diminished the quality of this young man's life," Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Daniel FitzGerald said.
