Little Girls & Guys Named Mohammed

Photo of Mohammed Al Hamdani, 39

Mohammed Al Hamdani, 39, was arrested Tuesday, June 17 and charged with enticement of a child, a class 4 felony, for trying to lure an 11-year-old little girl into his car. He met her in Bible Park in South-East Denver, actually where Denver and unincorporated Arapaho County meet.

This area is also known as “Saudi Aurora” because of its fairly large population of muslims.

The unidentified little girl used either a digital camera or her cell phone camera to take a photograph of Hamdani.

According to the Rocky Mountain News, when police interviewed Hamdani, he "admitted that he had been at the park and that the victim had taken his photograph,"

According to the arrest affidavit, Hamdani approached the girl in Bible Park, at 6800 E. Yale Avenue, on Saturday, June 14, and asked her for her name and address. The girl told police Hamdani also asked for her phone number and suggested they "hang out."

After noticing her camera, the man asked her to photograph him, and she did. He then asked her to take a photo of him near his car and offered to "give her a ride anywhere that she wanted to go," the affidavit said.

After taking his photograph, the girl ran away and told her mother what happened and Mom called the police. When police arrived to interview the girl, they quickly made the photo of Hamdani accessible to the media.

On Tuesday, June 17, the manager of the Broadway Motel at 1600 S. Broadway, called police that a man resembling the photo he had seen on television was staying in Room 5 of the motel. Apparently police then contacted Hamdani.

When the police interviewed Hamdani, he admitted that he had been at the park and that the little girl had taken his photograph. He also admitted he had asked for the girl's telephone number and offered to give her his number.

Hamdani also admitted to the police that if the girl had called him, he most certainly would have met with her. When the police asked Hamdani how old he thought the girl was, he claimed he thought she was twenty years old. When told of her actual age, he claimed he "would not have talked to her if he had known."

Yeah, right.

And wouldn’t you know it, Hamdani is familiar with crime as the police arrested him earlier this Spring for Disturbing the Peace and Making a Threat to Injure a Person.

That violent incident occurred at Porter Adventist Hospital where the charge nurse reported to police that Hamdani threatened to shoot her as she was attempting to discharge him.

But with the attempted abduction, Mohammed Al Hamdani was just doing exactly what his beloved prophet did. It’s a historical fact that the prophet Mohammed married his favorite wife when she was 9 years old.

Mohammed Al Hamdani’s attempt to take this little girl was bold and calculating. His enticement methodology appears to be based on previous experience.

Makes you wonder how many times he has done this and gotten away with it.

I guess guys named Mohammed just have a thing for little girls.
