This is probably not the best time to make terroristic threats at lawyers and judges outside a courthouse, but that’s what a dim-witted Muslim guy did while waving a Koran around in Denton, Texas.
A 28-year-old man was arrested at the Denton County courthouse Wednesday, after police say he threatened people and forced them to take copies of the Quran, police say.
Denton police had contact with Peshwaz Azad Waise f
On Tuesday, witnesses told police that Waise was “speaking irrationally and making comments about God and Allah,” Denton police said in a news release. He wasn’t arrested at the time because he had not broken any laws.
Later that night, Waise was trying to hand out Qurans at an IHOP near the University of North Texas. He was cited for trespassing and told to leave the area.
About 8:15 a.m. Wednesday, police say, he approached a woman in the parking lot of the Center for Women at 207 N. Bonnie Brae St. and offered her a Quran. She reported feeling uncomfortable during the interaction.
Inside the center, he handed an employee a copy and told her to give it to the hospital chaplain.
“Waise advised that if Isabella did not accept the Quran and pass it on she would die,” his arrest warrant affidavit states. “Waise also advised that the hospital would, ‘go down.'”
He was eventually arrested:
