The owner is an “outspoken Christian” from Israel. “Inside the restaurant, guests are greeted by…a small Israeli flag.” Yet “Columbus police Sgt. Rich Weiner said ‘right now there’s nothing that leads us to believe that this is anything but a random attack.'” Nonsense. If Rich Weiner were as knowledgeable about Islam and jihad as he (and all others like him) should be, he would know exactly what this was — especially since Mohammad Barry later lunged at police with his machete and a knife. Israel, Arab Christians, police — three prime targets of the jihad.
“Cops Kill Suspect After Violent Machete Attack At Northeast Columbus Restaurant,” by Evan Anderson, Tylar Bacome and Nathan Baca, WBNS-10TV, February 11, 2016 (thanks to Darcy):
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Police have shot and killed a suspect after he attacked multiple people at a restaurant in northeast Columbus with a machete.
The incident happened at the Nazareth Restaurant & Deli on North Hamilton Road just after 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Police said the man walked into the restaurant, had a conversation with an employee and then left. He returned about a half hour later. That’s when police said he approached a man and a woman who were sitting just inside the door at a booth and started the attack.
After the attacks, the suspect fled in his car southwest toward the Easton area. Officers attempted a PIT maneuver during the escape, but were unsuccessful. A short time later, a successful attempt was made, and the suspect slammed into a curb near Montclair Drive.
As officers converged on the suspect, he exited the vehicle with a knife in one hand and a machete in the other, according to police. After unsuccessfully firing a taser at the man, he lunged across the hood at the officers and was shot dead.
No officers were hurt during the shooting.
Meantime, four victims were taken to Grant Medical Center, including one in critical condition. All are expected to recover from their injuries.
Columbus police Sgt. Rich Weiner said “right now there’s nothing that leads us to believe that this is anything but a random attack.”
CBS News has identified the suspect as Mohammad Barry, however neither 10TV nor Columbus Police have confirmed the suspect’s name. CBS News also reports Barry has a Somali background and may have traveled to Dubai in 2012.
Law enforcement tells them the incident appears to be the type of “lone wolf terrorist attacks they’re trying to stop.”
The FBI is assisting in the investigation.
“He came to each table and just started hitting them.”
Witnesses said that the suspect had walked into the Nazareth Restaurant and asked for the owner. After being told the owner wasn’t there, he left the restaurant.
Diners said the man calmly walked back in 30 minutes later before he started his attack with a machete.
The husband of one of the waitresses working at Nazareth Thursday night said he asked her if the man was saying anything, to which she told him he was quiet and just started hacking people.
“He looked straight at me, but he went over to the booths and just started going down the booths. It all seemed to happen in slow motion,” the waitress said.
Karen Bass who was in the restaurant said she had only been inside about half an hour before the man started attacking. “He came to each table and just started hitting them,” she said. “There were tables and chairs overturned there was a man on the floor bleeding there was blood on the floor.”
Bass said it was like a scene from a horror film down to her stumbling escape.
“I fell like five times. My legs felt like jelly. I just thought he was going to come behind me and slash me up.”…
It is too early to say whether there was any political motive to this attack, but it struck a restaurant known for its embrace of both Israeli, Jewish and Arab Muslim culture.
Inside the restaurant, guests are greeted by two things near the entrance: A small Israeli flag and a Arabic phrase of greeting: it read “Ahlan Wa Shalan” [sic — it’s actually ahlan wa sahlan] which roughly translates to “You are my family, take it easy.”…
It’s actually an expression of greeting and welcome.

Jaladhi says
Our law enforcement has buried its head in evil Islamic sand and that’s why they cannot see anything!
Christianblood says
(…Machete-wielding Muslim injures multiple patrons at restaurant owned by pro-Israel Arab Christian…)
islamic persecution of Christians comes to America. The question is what are American “Christians” if any, are going to do about it? I am not talking about the American government because it is obvious that the US government is deeply pro islam, clearly Anti-Christian and is even backing barbaric islamic jihadists across the world.

That’s oh so true, as well in Oregon, where Obummer’s diversity, puppet, police murder White,Christian Patriots. I smell a real bloody revolution , A-Brewing, & it

like this. Anyone for a Coup d etat??
Mark says
I grew up in Philadelphia and now live in Ohio. Two of the last attacks. I feel it is not the police departments voice that is being spoken. I feel there is some sort of gag order on muslim attacks. Funny how the departments all follow the same suit.
Islam_Macht_Frei says
Imagine if it were a Klansman attacking Black people – would the cops and press be scratching their collective head trying to figure out a motive??
Disgusting institutionalized denial and cover up of Islamically-motivated hate crime..

@ Islam_Macht_Frei
Good point!
As a black African (not an ‘African American’) I am wondering why the KKKs and the other white supremacists, like the one that murdered nine black people praying in a Christian Church last year are silent over the islamic jihadist invasion of America? The same could be said about the white nationallists in Europe who still rant against Blacks, Gypsies and Jews while ignoring the huge islamic invasion in Western Europe.

The suspect is tentatively identified as Mohammad Barry. Gosh, there is that first name AGAIN !

Atheist kaffur says
You can’t kill these people. too easy! You have to take them in, have a trial and expose these sobs. The more you expose them the harder it is to hide it. By killing them there is only speculation for the motive which the administration is very proficient at spinning to their narrative.
PRCS says
I agree with the concept.
It’s the um, er, ah, execution that’s problematic.
When an armed cop is confronted–close up–by a machete wielding whack job, well….
Yes, in this and similar cases, the motive (which must be suppressed at all cost) too frequently remains “a mystery”, or “nothing to do with….”
Frank says
Is that Rifqa Bary’s dad?

Newsflash: LE is still “looking for a motive!”

Wonder how fast it will take for the story(and no mention of name) to get out and the lawyers to line up to sue the police.
AnneCrockett says
I believe I learned at Jihad Watch about Ahlan Wa Shalan. In Islam where even saying hello is political/religious, Assalamu alaikum is the subject of religious debate among the nuttier members of the religion of peace. Can you say it to an infidel? What if he says it to you? What about using it to people of the book? In some arabic speaking countries, Christian arabs prefer to use Ahlan Wa Shalan or Marhaba to the Islamic greeting. Usage varies by country, by demographic group, situation…
ProudAmerican says
Yet we are racist, Islamophobic, xenophobes for not wanting to let this filth into our beloved country. Truly F’d up times we live in.

Of course it must have been “random”!
Eeny – meeny- miney- mo… let’s see… who will i lunge at with a machete and a knife today?
1. Taco Bell? ummm, nah.
2. China Gardens? ummm, nah.
3. Burger King? ummm, nah.
4. “Nazareth” restaurant? …. also has Israeli flag, you say?
OK, number 4 it is… but i really considered the others, yes… i really did!
JawsV says
“Nazareth” – kind of a dead (no pun intended) giveaway. A real Muslim Jihad-magnet with that name.
Golem2 says
Christians have been under Muslim attack for a long time in Nazareth and the Middle East in general. The Christian population of Nazareth has plummeted and the Muslim rulers don’t allow for much of a celebration at Christmas time.
V R Balest says
Dear JihadWatch, you should not resist the portrayal of this as a lone wolf event as opposed to an act of Terrorism. Why do I say that? Because presenting it as an Act of Terrorism only conceals the reality that Islam is a theologically defective “religion”. A truly defective religion will produce lone wolves at every turn.

To say the victims will recover fully, maybe physically, but mentally the lives of these people have been changed forever. Not a day will pass when this violent cretin will not cross their minds. It is only when we are affected in a personal way, as more and more similar incidents occur, say involving a political or famous person, will the tipping point be reached – then look out! There will be anarchy and more blood in the streets. It’s not difficult to project the outcome. All of the scenarios have already been played out by the backroom boys. They’ve alredy sent in the clowns, is the army next?
Robert Siena says
That’s exactly right. They suffered a traumatic event. Then the Left will say we’re all Islamophobic again for no good reason.
Jay Boo says
Muslim Machete man maniacs, Muslim Hatchet man haters, are only walking our streets because of Islam’s enablers.
Bill says
Clearly, we need more machete control laws. Close the hardware store loophole!
The “lone wolf” rubric is patently absurd. I guess we are all supposed to say “Oh, no big deal — it was not an assault tied to some international organization so everyone is safe”. It was tied to an organization — the cult of Islam. At some point America may wake from its slumber and realize that these individual attacks are capable of creating more terror than the more high profile organized attacks.
Islofob IS1 says
Correct, islam is a death cult, no lone wolf ever comes out of islam.
The death cult infects the host with a rabies like infection, and you never know when it will turn on you, or the other beside you.
Outlaw the death cult of islam, close the mosques, shut down all teachings of this “faith”,and then request it to reform before it is allowed into a free west.
No you say? Then get ready for the next attack, it is on the way.
Oppressaphobe says
Great point-hadn’t even occurred to me, since the gun-control talk has died down for some strange, politically motivated purpose.
But we need to rub it in their face every time there is no gun used.
Strange how this story took soooo long to percolate through the media. Americans ought to be incensed by this lack of honest reporting

Welcome to Islam-loving, Islam-welcoming, Islam-embracing America.
Where we welcome, applaud and praise the actions of the Allah-obedient, thus the same of the Muhammad-obedient, thus the same of the Muhammad-and-Sahabi-praising-and-emulating.
Therefore, in our praise of the said acts and actors, we absorb the “contributions” they bring to our nation, cities, homes, schools, and businesses. Therefore, when need be, we soak up our spilt blood, drag out our dead and wounded, sweep up the shattered glass, adjust to our new norm: only illusionary safety and peace.
Once more, we witness, one more good Muslim, who, blessed with the freedom to practice the tenets of his faith, in keeping with Qur’anic doctrine, accordingly performs:

I’d be curious to know if anyone in the restaurant tried to defend themselves or distract the perpetrator. Restaurants are full of improvised weapons such as chairs, kitchen and steak knives, hot liquids, glassware, etc. The need for more CCW permit holders in America is becoming painfully clear.
More Ham Ed says
That’s so true, “here’s your pot of coffee” as it goes flyin’ toward the perp’s head. Nobody was carrying? I’m not saying they did have a sign but it reminds me of the Starbucks, Target etc. and even the “Secret Service Finally Adds ‘No Guns’ Sign at White House” fiasco. They’re going to have to get signs printed that say “No Machetes” (sarcasm).
Oppressaphobe says
I think it’s sad that people are like a deer in the headlghts when these attacks occur.
This is our political correctness coming through loud and clear.
Americans are psychologically abused people.
Our leaders are manipulating, controlling and psychologically abusing us. Our government is not better than your typical wife-beater.
Prove me wrong-we are treated like children, called names, have our freedoms taken away, told what to think, threatened with violence and we are not protected.
Oppressaphobe says
Want to know something about being abused?
Abused people have to learn to rise up and defend themselves.
It is a psychological feat to do it; ask anybody who has been there.
But that’s what it takes–a. clear-eyed, and a fully engaged response.
The last thing you should do is lye down and take it because, well, it’ll be over soon and I can go on with my life again.
No, you don’t even have a life when you live under this type of abuse and terror. You’ve become confused by it all over the many years…

Angemon says
Random in the same way the killing of Jews in a Jewish market by a muslim in Paris last year was a “random attack”. The BS man (Barry Soetero) said so – are you going to agree with him or are you a despicable racist?
Undaunted says
Some police “leaders” are restricting the response tactics of their officers in knife-attack situations, making the tried-and-true “21 Foot Rule” null and void. This means that a cop who once would have shot an attacker like this POS, will no longer do so but will perhaps try to make eye-to-eye contact with him and talk him back to his senses, to the point that the knife or machete is dropped and all live in peace and harmony forevermore.
Since we know we will be facing more and more Muslims like this, it’s important to understand that an armed citizen is not bound by the same rules of engagement as a police officer but by the laws pertaining to “Justifiable Homicide” in the jurisdiction in which the event takes place. Further, an armed citizen in this situation could have shot that POS in the back, without warning, without an order or plea to drop the weapon and get on the floor. An armed person could have gunned that fucker down without a word and, if the totality of circumstances at the time of the event had led that lawfully-armed and entirely reasonable man to determine that the attacker had the ability and opportunity to cut and kill an innocent person there in his presence, and that that reasonable man and others there were therefore in jeopardy, that reasonable man would most likely not be charged with a crime for engaging that dangerous attacker and blowing his shit away.
Just sayin’. Man up, America.

Barry says
Now wouldn’t it have been nice if one of the patrons were to have stood up and shot this guy right between his beady little pig eyes as soon as he pulled the blade. In my opinion it behooves all citizens to carry a firearm – as the life you save may be your own. If the government and police can’t guarantee a persons safety on the street anymore I think they should make some kind of law permitting them to protect themselves- hey wait a minute didn’t I read something about that in the Constitution??

This has nothing to do with islam. He’s the victim of multiple micro agressions and just needed a safe space….we know the drill.
Pumbar says
He “self radicalised” whilst getting angry feeding kuffar squirrels in the park.
Local mosque has no knowledge of him.
-one week later-
Local witnesses report that he was a regular at a local mosque.
-one day later-
Local imam reports that everyone at the local mosque is shocked. He seemed such a nice, ordinary guy.
Police return to interviewing local squirrels to discover a motive.

Somebody mentioned the need for a paper trail from the person that let this creep into our country to the attack.
Call it a toilet tissue trail but that is absolutely the RIGHT THING TO DO.
We have lost our ability to see things clearly anymore. Just like any abused group of people, perspective is the first thing to go.
America needs to sit up and shake itself off and learn to act in a rational way again.
We are now the middle east, or Israel, with daily attacks and we just yawn…..
I saw this coming but I’m still shocked that the day is here.
When a terror attack occurs, we allow Rick Weiner to lie to us to buy time to get the family safe, get them a lawyer, let them meet with CAIR, etc..
This scenario has played itself out over and over and over. They dummy right down immediately, get all their ducks in a row and then set about to do damage control for the American invaders.
Muslims must absolutely own this country and our leaders for such things to happen.
Wake up America, for the umpteen time!!!
Myxlplik says
Yup, many people can be personally sued for negligence. Why can’t the people injured in this case bring a lawsuit against the government, and or people involved in allowing this Muslim Savage into our country?
A paper trail would be the place to start.
Oppressaphobe says
You’d have to plow through all the roadblocks, of course, and set a new precedent.
But it’s a new world we’re living in so I think we better start setting some new precedents.
And let’s start with a new pre-si-dent! Numero uno!
I’m wondering where the hell are all the victims of all the other attacks? Aren’t they starting to be a new minority group? But you never hear from them. Why? Are they beat down? Oprah or the view doesn’t want them on? Don’t they ever get political?
There is something strange going on here. Does the administration get to them first? I think so.
Oppressaphobe says
Isn’t about time to take back the television rights of the networks?
They threaten talk radio with the fairness doctrine when they want to shut it up.
Why are the television networks able to put their crap out on our airwaves with impunity?
What’s the difference? I don’t know. But when I see the networks stop covering terror attacks at the behest of the government or rich and powerful muslims, I say:
IT’S TIME FOR AMERICA TO TAKE BACK THE AIRWAVES.
FIRST, WE CAN STOP WATCHING ANY NEWS AND CREATE OUR OWN NETWORKS.
SECOND, WE CAN TELL OUR CONGRESSMEN WE WANT TO KNOW WHY TERROR ATTACKS ARE BURIED IN THE NEWS CYCLE NOW ON A REGULAR BASIS.
THIS IS NOT ISRAEL. THIS IS NOT THE MIDDLE EAST, THIS IS AMERICA!! THERE OUGHT TO BE A DIFFERENCE!!!
When I heard this on the radio it was FIVE STORIES DEEP AFTER THE WEATHER!!!
DISGUSTING

The liberals have so much power and influence now that I can’t imagine that they will give up any power in this election.
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
Between the BLM crowd and the MUSLIMS, and the DUPED, they will

We now have to look at voter fraud issues, but it’s probably already in the bag. Maybe raising awareness will help.
Keep your eyes and ears open and don’t let them distract with this or that little game.

Maybe the media is unionized, and they all work for a paycheck to live, so what better way to suppress than thru employment….not saying they all do it, but it definitely follows political rules. Sort of the ME union mix. Who gets positive media attention? That is where the power lays.

I live in Columbus. While this is the most violent so far, “incidents” have been slowly increasing.

Columbus police Sgt. Rich Weiner, in the face of all the overwhelming evidence pointing to terrorism, is your job on the line that you cannot say that this is a terrorist attack ?

Yet another who has misinterpreted Islam’s “religion of peace” message.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Re: “Police said the man entered the restaurant and asked for the owner.
He came back an hour later with the machete and started hacking patrons.
“This was a brutal attack,” said Sgt. Rich Weiner, with Columbus Police. “The second time, nothing was said. He just came in and started the attack.”
“Right now there’s nothing that leads us to believe that this is anything but just a random attack,” Weiner said.”
IS THAT COP INSANE, OR JUST TOO STUPID TO REMAIN EMPLOYED AS A COP!?
Mohamed there SPECIFICALLY targeted the owner; how is that “random” in any way?!
Oppressaphobe says
Peter,
I think the term “hitting” came from the first lady interviewed, that was in the deli. An older lady, quite traumatized, talking in a quiet tone, obviously shook up.
That is where the word was first used in this story so I would guess that JW chose to use the exact description of somebody who was there.
I couldn’t understand why she used that word, but, as I said, she was quite shook up and I think she was trying to be understated and not appear as an alarmist.
Oppressaphobe says
“alarmist”
see even I am trying to choose my words carefully.
She was afraid to be labeled an islamophobe! That’s the sad reality. The poor woman was just traumatized and abuse in a way nobody should ever have to be, especially given her age, and then she gets interviewed and she’s afraid to say it like it is for fear of being labeled by the Great Labelers.
