“The Iranian was then sent to the hospital, and at the hospital he’s still threatening to kill anyone who isn’t a member of Islam or Muslim.” This was after he assaulted two sheriff’s deputies and threatened to set off a bomb while “praying to Allah.”
Note how defensive Hancock County Sheriff Ricky Adam is: “When we have somebody that’s making these threats, we know he’s Iranian, we know he’s a Muslim, and regardless what anybody says, dammit, they’ve killed people. So we have to take it seriously and we are.” Clearly, Adam is already anticipating charges of “Islamophobia” resulting from his daring to arrest a Muslim making terrorist threats: “regardless of what anybody says,” he says, they have to “take it seriously” — in other words, they can’t back down for fear of charges of “racism” and “bigotry” that he obviously knows will be coming, because they always do.
Meanwhile, Safa Alidoust does appear to be legitimately mentally ill. All too often authorities ascribe jihad activity as mental illness in order to cover up that it’s really jihad activity, but this business about praying in the nude does make it seem as if Alidoust has really gone round the bend. No sect of Islam requires nudity for prayer. Unfortunately, his mental illness does seem to have an aggressive, belligerent aspect that does have a heavy Islamic character.
More on this story. “Iranian national accused of assaulting Hancock County deputies,” by Al Showers, WLOX, August 31, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
HANCOCK COUNTY, MS (WLOX) – An Iranian national arrested in Hancock County Sunday for allegedly making terrorist threats and assaulting two sheriff’s deputies will have a bond hearing Tuesday.
Authorities say they were forced to shut down a portion of I-10 near the Mississippi-Louisiana state line for more than two hours after Safa Alidoust, 32, threatened to set off explosive devices he claimed were in his car. Sheriff’s officials say it’s a bizarre case.
“Got a call of a naked man on I-10, dispatchers dispatch a deputy out there. When he got there, the guy was naked. So he approaches him, he was talking to him, as they were talking he and the suspect get into a wrestling match,” said Hancock County Sheriff Ricky Adam.
The car Sheriff Adam said the suspect was driving was impounded behind the Sheriff’s Department and it had what is believed to be the suspect’s clothes on the floor board and passenger seat. The sheriff said while the interstate scuffle was going on, a second officer was sent to the scene.
Adam said the deputies, “Finally subdue him after about 10 or 15 minutes of fighting with him. Which in turn injured one of our officers.”
Adam said the scene became more intense after the suspect began making threats praying to Allah and saying he’s got a bomb and he’s going to blow everybody up. That’s when the sheriff says the Biloxi Bomb Squad was called.
“They x-rayed a couple of packages that were in the vehicle,” explained Sheriff Adam.
Fortunately no bomb was found in the car . But a background check on the suspect determined Alidoust is an Iranian national living in Lafayette, Louisiana on a work visa.
“And works for an oil company over there, a petroleum company., [sic] The Iranian was then sent to the hospital, and at the hospital he’s still threatening to kill anyone who isn’t a member of Islam or Muslim. When we have somebody that’s making these threats, we know he’s Iranian, we know he’s a Muslim, and regardless what anybody says, dammit, they’ve killed people. So we have to take it seriously and we are,” explained Adam.
The Sheriff said the suspect told his deputies he was nude because he is required to pray that way.
Adam said, “If that’s what they believe I can care less. They can do it. just [sic] don’t do it on the interstate.”…

underbed cat says
A mental illness symptom of removing clothes and becoming hostile or sexual is a behavior I have witnessed. Many times I have read about someone who walks around delusional with out clothes and they are picked up if someone calls the police and they are taken to local hospitals for help.
Strangley enough some can walk around and call for the death of infidels( christians, atheists and people of the Judism) and if they are muslims no one sees the need for protection. If fact they are now a strongmuslim political party world wide, opening up each country for refugees following their religious obligation to migrate throughout the world, appearing as victims and will become future employees and yes even a few work in hospitals. Odd.
Me says
In not so many words, our comments (see just above) are practically identical…
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Odd.
Yes, odd, and in a deeply troubling way.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
The Hippocratic Oath calls for altruism and open doors. First the docs and nurses fell under the exploitation of the central gubmint socialists; healthcare always goes first because it is by far the highest value-add of industries. Now they will fall under the pall of Moslem activists, and our hospitals and clinics will soon be encircled by security desks, metal detectors and armed guards. Praise Allah, and praise Karl while you’re at it.
The affinity between socialists and Moslems is undeniable at this point, out in the open. So at least we have transparency when it comes to these two lying violence prone takeover groups.

voegelinian says
Just because we may not be able to find an Islamic prescription to pray in the nude, we should not leap to the likelihood that this Mohammedan was insane. For our safety purposes, it’s counter-productive to reinforce (as Spencer tends to do here) the various memes our PC MC culture produces by which to minimize the danger of Mohammedanism. a) Islam is already insanity and all Muslims are already insane by virtue of adhering to this insanity; and b) this particular Muslim may have been naked for other reasons (he had just exited the shower) when he suddenly felt overwhelmed by the obsessive compulsion to carry out Koran 9:111.
voegelinian says
“it’s counter-productive to reinforce (as Spencer tends to do here) the various memes our PC MC culture”

Jay Boo says

voegelinian posted:
““it’s counter-productive to reinforce (as Spencer tends to do here) the various memes our PC MC culture”
— one of those memes, of course, being that any Muslim who explodes (etc.) must be “insane”.”
And where did Mr. Spencer did that? The answer is, of course, he didn’t. You have the gall of making that preposterous charge (which requires an Olympic level of mental flexibility, or a degree in Orwellian double-speak in order to pretend he said something quite different of what he actually said) despite the ever-increasingly mountain of evidence that Mr. Spencer, despite making a couple of sarcastic remarks regarding law enforcement treating jihadi attacks as bouts of “mental illness”, doesn’t consider muslims who explode (either figuratively or literally) to be insane – he considers them to be carrying out the islamic imperative of waging war against, and/or terrorizing, non-muslims, and that’s exactly what he’s been saying over the years, not only on hundreds, if not thousands (or thens of thousands), of articles on this blog, but also on books (many of them NYT best-sellers) and lectures, which are freely available on YT.
And just so you won’t try to wiggle your way out by saying something along the lines of “As you can see, invisible third party to whom I speak instead of addressing my critics directly, Angemon claims Spencer has many posts where he says that muslims waging jihad are not insane but he can’t even provide an example”:

This is your nth attempt to undermine Mr. Spencer by offering a mirror-house distorted version of what he wrote and hoping no one notices your trick. How’s that worked out so far?
As the saying goes: insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results.

Um, yeah, once again…fine line between insanity and jihadist behavior..
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
A line so fine as to be non-existent. I would say that being a devout Moslem means that one *is* insane, and by the clinical definition. It’s just a manic form of insanity. I may be biased in this opinion, though, cuz I place value on civilized behavior.
Me says
Must one “be” insane in order to “act” insane? I suppose it doesn’t really matter, except in the manner of treatment. I have pity on the clinically insane. As for the ‘slim fascist idealogues draped in a man-made “religion” and compelled by a diabolical prescription for destruction of the earth and its denizens, pity does not register. For the former, a straight-jacket and a shot of sedative may be appropriate. As for the latter, shackles and a single shot of lead…

Angemon says
“we know he’s a Muslim, and regardless what anybody says, dammit, they’ve killed people”. If I’m reading this correctly, this guy gets it – he sees muslims worldwide killing people in the name of their religion, he sees muslims and islamic apologists in the West (the CiC included) saying “no, no, islam is a religion of peace, true muslims wouldn’t ever do that”, and he doesn’t fall for it. Or at least he realizes that people who call themselves muslims, regardless of whether their interpretation of islam is correct or not, have killed people in the name of islam and therefore the threats are to be taken seriously.
Jay Boo says
Given the nature of Islam, resentful Muslims who pray five times a day strive to bring others down into their self-pitying pit of Islamic misery rather than try to make the world a better place to live and for all to share.
Whenever someone else is joyful, rather than celebrate and be joyful too, they prefer to be full of jealous resentment.

I agree! But the question is: Why on Earth is he in the US? There are millions in the West that have no legitimate reason to be here. He is a moslem, so why didn’t he stay in Iran?
TheDane says
YEP! What else is new?? That’s what moslems do best: threaten and kill! Why do we really put up with islam in the West? Why? Why not ban that sick and perverse ideology, and throw them all out of our countries? They are altering Europe beyond recognition now, and life is turning more and more difficult for the original populations – in so many ways. Economies are burdened and will soon be brought to their knees, and waves of terrorism is heading our way. The future looks grim because of moslems!
Myxlplik says
I get it that Muslims are strange, and none of this surprises me, but why do we need to be importing Iranian Muslims on work visas into the State of Mississippi for the oil industry?
Aren’t there enough Mississipians who want work?
I think the companies who import these whack jobs should be responsible for public restitution in regards to the cost of the call, shutting down the freeway, injury to the officer and incarceration. Then perhaps companies would see the folly of their ways, they can’t expect us to foot this bill.

you are correct–I agree 100%

You won’t see the left or mainstream media make these kinds of concessions.
I used to be a liberal who almost hero worshiped Carter. Especially for his Habitat for Humanity efforts. Fortunately I had a Gra’mom who passed on her love of reading. Liberals don’t read. You can see it in their ignorant tirades when they spew “history” learned from BDS “professors”. Forget the total unfairness of giving the Jews the perfect sanctuary from generations of pogroms and mass murder. Muslims not only have to have Mecca; they have to have the Temple Mount Moshe Dayan gave them it what was the most colossal boner in history. Read from the lips of the Muslims themselves; they not only don’t want any kind of homeland for the Jews, they don’t want them to reside on “one square inch” of “Palestine”. I encourage everybody to read Jihad in the Qur’an and Sunnah by Sheikh Abdullâh bin Muhammad bin Humaid together with The 4th Conference of the Academy of Islamic Research: Arab Theologians on Jews and Israel. Sept. 1968. Translated by D.F. Green/David G. Littman http://supportsecurefreedom.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/Arab-Theologians-on-Jews-and-Israel-4th_Ed_082011.pdf
Front to back; 95 pages of outrageous lies, inversion and vile Jew-Hatred. I’ve read this whole thing. I invite you to find any comparison with Jewish, Christian or Buddhist “Conferences” or similar events. See the Declaration of War titled “Resolutions and Recommendations” on page 73. I use Sheikh Abdullah bin Humaid’s article on jihad, and it’s place as an “Introduction” in the Sahih Al Bukhari submitted in this flyer, as “Exhibit A” when it comes to refuting the “religion of peace” claim. “The 4th Conference…” could easily be Exhibit B.
If you want an example of the Muslim “success story”. If you want a perfect illustration of what defines Muslims and Islam, it’s past and its present, and counter the claims that Muslims “promote peace and tolerance” with those outside the Muslim Community, and the claim that “radicals pervert the Koran through omission and false interpretation” these two are the ones to read.

I LOVE reading these “back and forths” between my heroes and losers like Benny Morris. I’ll print these out and attack them with pen and hi-liter. Feel free to the same. However, Liberals are incapable of this kind of self-debate. Note: I’m reminded in Chapter 2 of the “Nakba Nonsense” essay of the discussion on “The Tantura Massacre” and the Alexandroni Brigade. It also speaks to the “New Historians” like Ilan Pappe, Avi Shlaim, Simcha Flapan and Benny Morris who completely rewrite history and when caught in their lies accuse people of “curtailing academic freedom for political purposes”.
