 [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - David Oxenreider, 29, is charged with manufacturing a weapon of mass destruction, causing or risking a catastrophe and reckless endangerment
- Accused of planting a makeshift bomb outside Bahney House Hotel in Myerstown, where he had been living
- State police bomb squad disabled the package, which consisted of two butane tanks, staples, hatchet and phone charges
- Oxenreider said it was not his intent to hurt anyone, and that he wanted to draw the attention of police
- He claimed that in 2014, he had an encounter with aliens that told him that if humans didn't 'start being good people,' they would destroy Earth
- 'When he tells people about his alien encounter, people say he is crazy,' the charging document stated
- He converted to Islam a couple of years ago, taking the name Muhammad Shahid
| It sounds like he was drawn to Islam about the same time the aliens contacted him. It was just the right age when paranoid schizophrenia blossoms, poor man. |
