Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Texas: Armed Muslim enters church, says Allah told him to “slay infidels”

Sep 15, 2015 8:40 pm By Robert Spencer

“He said people are going to die today, that’s what he said to me,” said the pastor.

“Aziz first approached a deacon outside the church and asked to see the pastor for prayer,” according to KITV. Had the deacon drawn cartoons of Muhammad? Had the pastor committed some act of “Islamophobia”? Or did Rasheed Abdul Aziz choose the Corinth Missionary Baptist Church for his jihad simply because the Qur’an commands Muslims to fight against and subjugate the “People of the Book” (9:29), a command that doesn’t single out the “People of the Book” who have “poked Muslims in the eye,” but applies to all of them whether they have offended delicate Muslim sensibilities or not?

Rasheed Abdul Aziz

“Pastor speaks out about man who allegedly threatened his church,” by Paul Rivera, KLTV, September 14, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

Forty-year-old Rasheed Abdul Aziz was arrested Sunday for allegedly threatening the Corinth Missionary Baptist Church in Bullard. Aziz had a gun, was wearing a camouflage helmet, camo pants, tactical vest and boots when entered the church around one o’clock.

According to Pastor John Johnson, Aziz appeared distressed and said that god had told him to “slay infidels.”

“He said people are going to die today, that’s what he said to me,” says Johnson.

Johnson says Aziz entered the church through a side door, ended up in the conference room where Johnson and others were.

The conversation with Aziz lasted about 5 minutes, and in those five minutes, Aziz reportedly told Pastor Johnson he was representing Allah and god had sanctioned him to kill and slay people. During that conversation, Johnson says that he was able to see that Aziz had a gun.

“Immediately my mind went to the fact that I knew we had several children and young members that were playing and running in the fellowship hall, I mouthed to them, this man has a weapon, I need you guys to go.”

Johnson believed that the only key to getting out alive that day was to calm Aziz down.

“I believe that his intent was when he came to our church was to actually kill somebody,” says Johnson.

Monday morning, when church deacon T.J. Johnson showed up to church, he opened the front door and found a note that Aziz had left behind.

The note says: “My name is Rasheed, you helped me at a time of need, this house is blessed by God and all faiths.”

It was a strikingly peaceful note that Pastor Johnson says does not reflect Aziz’s demeanor that day.

“It was very clear that he was very angry when he entered the building and he attempted to escalate himself,” says Johnson….

      Having read the whole thing I think I’m going to go with that this man “Rasheed Abdul Aziz” (who was, to look at him, probably born with a name like “Rodrigo Davila”) has some capital-P Problems, beyond Islam. I pray he gets the help he so clearly needs.

        It’s almost cliché that “lone wolf”, “homegrown” terrorists are labeled–by the usual suspects–as being afflicted with some sort of “mental illness”.

        In this case I would not disagree with such a diagnosis.

        • gravenimage says

          Sep 15, 2015 at 9:49 pm

          Yeah…maybe. But it is notable that in Islam Infidels are to be murdered until the survivors succumb to Shari’ah law with “willing submission”. Whatever else Rasheed Abdul Aziz may be, he is acting according to orthodox Islam here.

          Bear food
          Another issue folks is:
          if our society (‘feeds the bear’) it will quickly lose all respect for us as well as lose all fear.

          All those Lefties who wrongly show groveling reverence toward anything Islamic encourage Muslim entitlement syndrome, and I would even go so far as to say that such people are much more responsible than people who criticize Islam.

          I blame such people for the attack on Charlie Hebdo staff and not the cartoons that they drew because Muslims knew that they would be able to milk the liberal hand wringers into willing submission.

    About the most positive spin I could put on this is that Rasheed Abdul Aziz was probably already borderline crazy before converting to Islam. Nutcases are drawn to Islam, because it provides reinforcement and justification for their homicidal tendencies. Massacre some innocent churchgoers, and your jihadi buddies will heap praise on you for doing Allah’s will. In other words, Islam is the perfect religion for the criminally insane.

    On a less positive note, Islam seems capable of making otherwise normal people act totally insane. How many times has a normal person converted to Islam and then suddenly decided that beheading or blowing up his/her own infidel family is Allah’s will? Murder your sister because she wears lipstick or a miniskirt? No problem, and Allah will even give you 72 virgins in Heaven as a reward for your brutality.

    Among the world’s religions, Islam is certainly “unique.”

      In Christianity a man atones for his shortcomings by following Jesus, a generally nice guy. Jesus is the perfect selfless man. A good example for all men.

      In Islam a man atones for his shortcomings by following Mohammed, who was a rapist , Jew killer, thief and liar. Mohammed used criminals as henchmen and fighters to further Islam. Islam is the only thing that matters. Men are just pawns.

      • Kepha says

        Sep 16, 2015 at 9:45 pm

        Men do not atone for their sins by following Jesus. Jesus bore our sins in his body on the tree and made atonement for us. Muhammad denied Jesus’ work for us on the cross to rob us of the true remedy for our sin and true moral guilt before God (not the guilt feelings of modern discourse). Our following Christ consists of humbly and gratefully receiving God’s gift and expressing gratitude (our good works, which express what God is making us; not what we use to buy off God).

        These poor, deluded Muslims who think they can pay for their sins by spilling the blood of others and then spilling their own in a cruel and violent act in which they close any possibility of repentance before coming face to face with the Judge of all! They do not honor Jesus by denying his crucifixion; they merely blind themselves to the true, God-given remedy for our sins.

      “Islam seems capable of making otherwise normal people act totally insane. How many times has a normal person converted to Islam and then suddenly decided that beheading or blowing up his/her own infidel family is Allah’s will?”

      I’m not sure how often “normal” people who convert to Islam go to the dark side. I do know that among people who convert to Islam a good number leave it once they read the Koran and hadith and find that it isn’t the religion of peace that their Muslim friends or spouse had led them to believe. I’m betting that most converts who go jihad are already headed in the nutcase direction. Just as some non-Muslims who commit grisly crimes seemed normal to their neighbors and non-violent to family and acquaintances, nutcases who convert to Islam may seem superficially normal. But it’s what’s going on inside that matters. Some converts are repelled by what they find in Islam, and leave. Others go down the evil path to jihad. Islam can’t MAKE a person do that. It’s all down to the person’s character.

        Sep 16, 2015 at 5:59 pm

        @TheBuffster. Apparently you really don’t understand ‘pisslam’ at all. Apparently you seem to think that muslims are FREE to decide whether or not they want to remain in islam and are free to go, if they so choose. Unfortunately, muslims who reject or ‘convert’ to a religion outside of islam or to atheism are branded with a target on their backs! They are a sitting duck in a barrel surrounded by shooters! I don’t know where you got your info. from but there is NO SUCH THING as FREEDOM TO CHOOSE in islam! Once you decide to ’embrace’ the ‘religion’ of SATAN you relinquish all freedoms–PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE! ISLAM IS PURE SLAVERY, PERIOD!!!

        • TheBuffster says

          Sep 18, 2015 at 10:09 am

          RG, I’ve been reading up on Islam for 30 years. I know all about the “death to apostates” thing. And I’ve read *heaps* of apostate testimonials – people who were born and raised in Islam and people who converted into it and then read the Koran and ditched it. Despite the Islamic law that says those who leave Islam should be executed, a lot of people leave it anyway, and most of them (at least in the West) – while living with the possibility that some zealot might knock them off – don’t actually get killed. It all depends on how devotedly religious and full-on the family and friends of the apostate are.

          People don’t all believe or behave the way their religion tells them to.

          Some former Muslims don’t openly leave Islam, but inwardly they don’t believe and keep their apostasy to themselves because they’re afraid of being hurt or killed. But most of the apostates’ I’ve read who stay in the closet aren’t concerned that their families will kill them, but simply that they will shun them. But they can only keep that up so long because it’s emotionally exhausting to fake your own soul.

          The threat of murder doesn’t cow everyone into remaining a Muslim. People leave it all the time. People are capable of courage and of refusing to live a lie, even if being true to themselves is bloody dangerous.

      Many years ago I sold an English translation of the Quran on ebay to a policeman – maybe he needed it as a reference for some jailbirds who converted to Islam in jail

      This was long before 9-11, too.

      I’m grateful that Bro. Johnson apparently quieted Rasheed and that apparently nobody was killed. That’s grace under fire. I pray that maybe Rasheed will be brought to repentance and faith in the Jesus found in the Old and New Testaments and recognize Muhammad’s imposture.

    Sep 15, 2015 at 11:15 pm

    His Imam now needs to go to the media and declare that Islam is peaceful and this murderous and psychotic clown was misundertood by dumb westerners. I would love to hear the spin attached to this story. After all, we all know the Qur’an is the perfect, entire and unadulterated word of Allah. The Muslim mind appears free to interpret as they see fit. Bring forth the screeches of “Islamophobia”. It’s our own fault if we are all affected by jinn and require ‘coersion’ to revert, even if it requires exposure to detatched heads or showers of bullets. They surely are peaceful actions of followers of the religion of peace.

    Tattoo removal by blowtorch sounds good to me right about now.

    Try anything like this on one of their precious mosques and you’ll get serious riots, of course. Disgusting pseudo-humans. The church I’m currently involved with (in a nice, leafy London suburb) has had objects through the winow at least three times causing hundreds of pounds of damage, courtesy of a group of muslims living in a council estate round the corner. Not a word in the local press or anything – it never happened! BUT – a bit of nasty graffiti on the wall of a local mosque or islamic centre and – oh dear, oh dear – ISLAMOPHOBIA!!! Front page of the local rag! Paranoid hysteria from the local imam + chums! And they have a habit of visiting churches and leaving some of their ‘educational material’ behind. Try THAT the other way round in a mosque!

      Prison converts hugely important in Islam.
      Malcolm X was a prison convert.
      Prison evangelization is a major problem in Britain. No doubt it is or will be a huge problem in the US. Islam depends heavily on aggressive and reckless sociopaths to do stupid self-destructive things “for the right reasons”, and prison is a great source to tap.

    Armed Muslim enters church, says Allah told him to “slay infidels”

    Gee. That’s odd…?

    Jesus says God told Him something far more…. Lasting. Something far more…. productive.

    Something all of mankind can trust!!!

    Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All

    The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship. Otherwise, would they not have stopped being offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins. But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins. It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
    Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:

    “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased.

    Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll—I have come to do your will, my God.’ ”

    Hebrews 10:1-7

      Big problem with Islam is that it claims to be successor to Christianity, but ignores everything Christian – except what Islam corrupts in an obvious attempt to ( falsely ) claim Muhammad was a prophet.

      Isa. 8:20. “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.”

      If someone contradicts the previously revealed word of God, they are a false prophet.
      How many times did Muhammed contradict the Torah? Within Islamic doctrine, Muslims are not allowed to read the bible – why? Answer is obvious, if you read bible you will find how corrupt Islam really is. Satan does not want you knowing spiritual truths, what better way to prevent it than forbidding you to read it?

      Muhammed’s mother and father were Kuffar ( the vilest of creatures, and Allah hates the kuffar )
      Muhammed was also a bastard ( did not know his biological father )

  16. Undaunted says

    Sep 16, 2015 at 9:57 pm

    There is no reason on earth that any house of worship should be shot up by terrorists. None. But it will happen because, as demonstrated here often by commenters of different stripes, too many Christians think Plan A is to pray, not to prepare in every way to spot and defeat any number of armed attackers.

    My recommendations for church security teams:

    This is latest proof of either:
    1) Islam’s appeal to the mentally insane
    2) Islam making someone insane

    Islam is a mental disease. Once infected it is only matter of time before bad symptoms manifest.
    Islam is much like Syphilis, if untreated it make you crazy and eventually kill you.
