Fortunately, Abdo's own plans were thwarted before any lives could be taken, but according to reports, he exuntantly chanted Hasan's name as he was led out of the court on Friday. "I want to use my experience to show Muslims how we can lead our lives," he said. Us that they are moderate? Non-Muslim worship in Maldivian island sparks Muslim outcry.
