Houston: Muslim pledges allegiance to Islamic State in front of cop

Oct 15, 2014 11:09 pm By Robert Spencer

It is good that he is being put out of the mosque. Is anyone at this mosque teaching against the ideas represented by the Islamic State?

“Video: Houston Man Pledges Allegiance to ISIS in Front of Cop,” by Ryan Mauro, October 15, 2014:

A shocking video has been posted online showing a Muslim-American in the Houston area pledging allegiance to the Islamic State terrorist group in front of a police officer while being escorted away from a mosque.

The video was uploaded September 21 by a man who goes by the names of Abdul-Rahman Baghdadi or Houston Baghdadi.

Baghdadi describes himself as an “Islamic Chaliphate [sic] State Fact Reporter” and identifies his locations as Houston, Las Vegas and Chicago on Twitter. He sent out a tweet describing himself as an “early student,” indicating that he may be a recent convert to Islam.

The video shows Baghdadi wearing pro-Islamic State attire at a mosque with a friend. The mosque is not specifically identified but is referred to by the acronym of “ISGH,” presumably the Islamic Society of Greater Houston.

The footage shows a police officer arriving at the mosque and a Muslim man complaining about Baghdadi. As he is escorted away, Baghdadi turns to his partner and requests, “In front of the police officers, will you please record this?”

He then raises his hand and pledges allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State terrorist group (more commonly known by the acronyms of ISIS or ISIL). The officer responds, “I don’t know what that means.”

“He’s the caliph of the Islamic State,” Baghdadi explains as the police officer walks away.

Baghdadi writes that the Muslim man in the footage “kicks me out constantly for NO REASON Even when I didn’t wear what I was wearing [the logo of the Islamic State].”

Another incident at the ISGH mosque was also recorded and uploaded. It shows an enraged man telling Baghdadi to never return to the premise and that he will be charged with trespassing if he does.

Baghdadi also uploaded a series of videos on October 12 showing a confrontation at the El-Farouq mosque in Houston. It begins when he approaches Muslim schoolchildren eating lunch and corrects them for eating with their left hand, a violation of sharia law. A man immediately intervenes and says he is calling the police. Baghdadi tells the cop that he was joking and meant no harm.

One of the recordings shows Baghdadi returning to the El-Farouq mosque in a different outfit and again being told to leave by a police officer.

On October 13, Baghdadi uploaded a local TV news clip about a picture of a man with pro-Islamic State attire at a restaurant in the Houston area.

Baghdadi’s tweets also show ISIS insignia being placed on a bus, a highway sign, a truck and over an advertisement for an aquarium on a car. A second truck is shown with an ISIS logo on but Baghdadi coupled it with a hashtag of “FBlies.”…

    Unfortunately the police will not be trained in the true meaning of Islam and ISIS, and will remain ignorant of Al Baghdadi.

    Until we drive these barbarians out of the country – this goes for Europe and anyplace else with pretensions of civilization – we are in danger.

    We can develop alternative energy, stop subsidizing oil, and turn off the money spigot to these followers of evil. Their civilizations will produce nothing but goatherds and “islamic scholars” thereafter.

    Jihad is a noble calling, and Islam has nothing to do with Jihadists or terrorism. I know this because the State Department training manual says so! This also explains the bit of confusion some have regarding workplace violence.

    It would be interesting to see what will be said in the offal office about workplace violence if it affected the Jihadist in charge.

    I’m trying to imagine an American in 1943 standing in front of a police officer swearing allegiance to Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. Would the police officer: (a) Ask him to leave the building, (b) Issues him with a trespassing citation, or (c) arrest him for treason?

    Why does this police officer take even 30 seconds to arrest him for being a member of a terrorist organization?

      The policeman probably did thiink about arresting him but maybe he though it was not worth the torrent of bullshit he and his force would no doubt get from the human rights PCMC retards and their useful idiots in the MSM and government if its anything in the USA like the dhimmtude we have here in the UK

        @Joginder
        Post more often. Get your friends to post on JW.
        In the coming war against the Muslims invading Britain, it would be good to know that the Sikhs, Hindus and Buddhists will stand up and be counted at our side.
        Never forget, that the Muslims also have the Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists and aethiests in their gun sights. They will eventually get around to you too.
        Its not just ” white Christians” that they intend to force Islam, Sharia and Islamoculturism on.

          Charlie,

          I thought you was our friend….don’t put thoughts in Joginder’s mind please.
          We have very good working relationship with Sikhs.

          More Later….

          By “good working relationship”, the vicious Rezali Mehil means that she thinks Muslims can kidnap, rape, and forcibly “marry” Sikh girls and women; and can murder Sikh men with impunity, and that Sikhs will be good little dhimmis.

          Of course, Sikhs have done a great deal to bravely defend against Muslim aggression historically—but sly Muslims like this one hope that they have forgotten that.

    Maybe the mayor of Houston should ask him for his papers on homosexuals…I’m sure he has a couple of doosies.

    Crazy convert. Glad to see they kicked him out though. Hope he’s on the crazy convert list somewhere and is being watched, you could hear the rage about to explode in his voice…he’s looking for an outlet to take it out on.

      Or better yet, give him a one way ticket to Syria to get “martyred” by the glorious Kurds. 🙂

    The point is that in really free countries like the United States of America you can at least say or think what you want and its up to anyone who is listening to respond. The quality of this video is pretty shit but the bearded asshole (and his secret camera accomplice?) was trying to make a vague point about something or other and the sad old fuck with him looks none the worse for the wear. How do we educate these people to understand how free they really are?

    In light of all the evidence I have found both historical and contemporary, it suggests that islam and its followers will attempt to undermine or demolish/execute/kill all cultures which are way and above anything which islam can get its single brain cell around.

      ……………………………

      Paddy, the only “freedom” Jihadists want is the “freedom” to violate others’ freedoms in the name of of Islam—to mass-murder Kuffars, to force Infidel girls and women into sex slavery, and to behead journalists and aid workers.

      That’s why Jihadists like Abdul-Rahman Al-Baghdadi love the Islamic State, and have nothing but contempt for the freedoms of America and the rest of the West.

    In WWII if you would have stood in front of a cop and pledged allegiance to hitler you would have been put in jail.

    We are at war with isis.

    Why didn’t this moron get put in jail?

    Why do these cops allow this parasite supremacist all this time to bullshit and dawa?? He is not an early student of anything, he said his parents are in Syria now.

    This maroon should be packing his bags right now with DHS looking over his shoulder and maybe helping him along. He can have a one-way ticket to ISIS-land to boot. I understand there are minefields to be cleared and unexploded ordnance to be cleared. This guy would be a perfect candidate to sweep for both, bipedally.

    Houston: Muslim pledges allegiance to Islamic State in front of cop
    …………………………..

    Of course, the officer didn’t really understand what this Jihadist meant—and probably wouldn’t have done anything if he had.

    More:

    It is good that he is being put of the mosque. Is anyone at this mosque teaching against the ideas represented by the Islamic State?
    …………………………..

    It is likely that they just consider someone as erratic and unversed in Taqiyya as Rahman-Abdul Al-Baghdadi as a potential embarrassment, rather than holding any actual disagreements with his preaching of Jihad.

    The Islamic Society of Greater Houston is a member of the Islamic Society of North America, which has ties to Hamas. And the president of ISGH has denied that Muslims carried out the attacks of 9/11. Hate literature has been found in ISGH Mosques.

    Main Alqdua, Imam at the Muslim Brotherhood controlled mosque in Katy, just west of Houston, issued a Fatwa against Muslims sending care packages to American troops.

    He is on the Fatwa committee of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America, which has issued Fatwas against Muslims cooperating with US law enforcement not based on Shari’ah law, and one that lauded FGM and called it “an honor and obligation for American Muslimas”.

    Very disturbing stuff—but hardly surprising. More here from ACT! for America Houston:

    The article, “More drivel from the Houston Chronicle – Paints Muslims as Victims and Ignores Radical Fatwas from Local Imam”, is about half-way down the page.
