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

Columbus, Ohio’s Nazareth Restaurant, site of jihad terror attack in February, is going strong

Mar 20, 2016 11:08 am By Robert Spencer

Back in February there was yet another jihad terror attack on American soil: a Muslim named Mohammad Barry entered the Nazareth Restaurant & Deli in Columbus, Ohio and began slashing patrons with a machete. Later he screamed “Allahu akbar” and charged at police with the machete, and they shot him dead. Barry chose his target because the Nazareth Restaurant is owned by Hany Baransi, a proud Israeli Christian, and displays an Israeli flag. After the attack, Baransi was defiant, saying he was going to get a bigger Israeli flag, but then announced that he had instead decided to close the restaurant and move back to Israel.

I’m happy to report that he has apparently changed his mind. This week I was in Columbus, where I spoke Thursday and Friday, and had an opportunity to go to the Nazareth Restaurant (actually, two opportunities). I didn’t get a chance to say hello to Hany Baransi, but was glad to see that the restaurant was thriving and crowded, and the food was great. Because of the suicidal policies of the current and previous administrations and the Washington establishment, there are certain to be many more jihad terror attacks like the one at the Nazareth Restaurant. Jihadis will continue to try to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60); it is crucial that free people not succumb to that terror, but instead be defiant and unafraid in the face of it. If these murderous bullies want us to be afraid, then that is above all what we must not be. As such, the Nazareth Restaurant defiantly open and packed with people was a magnificent sight to see.

Defiance in the face of evil is a necessity. If you are in Columbus, or anywhere near it, go grab lunch or dinner at the Nazareth. The gyros are out of this world. So is the Greek salad. Go, enjoy, and go again the next day.

    Hello Mr. Spencer —

    I would like to know if this restaurant is still going strong? The facebook page for this restaurant has posts by the owner claiming that he is struggling and needs financial support.

    see: https://www.facebook.com/nazarethrestaurant

    Thank you,

    Michael

      I don’t know his financial situation. The restaurant was packed both times I was there. That doesn’t mean he isn’t struggling, but it was great to see.

        Thank you, Mr. Spencer!! I’m glad the restaurant is still packed!! At the very least his staff is keeping the restaurant running, according to his facebook page — which is certainly good news. We must stay strong in the face of this threat. Thank you for all of your hard work!!

        I also love the picture with the wall full of “Nazareth Strong!” comments, as well as the banner over the door thanking patrons and the community for their support.

    It is so very sad, that even in the face of multiple muslim TERRORIST attacks, the lunatics in DC are still planing on importing 100,000 more of these criminals!
    Just what is going on here? And why have our quiet and relatively crime free “Christian Neighborhoods” suddenly become the favored dumping grounds for these budding islamic TERRORISTS?
    We must all unite against this now. Before our entire Nation becomes over run!
    MAY GOD PLEASE GUIDE AND HELP US!

      In a way, you are ” lucky” David to be getting thousands. We are getting these Muslim vermin by the tens of millions.
      Even worse, the lunatics running the asylum in Brussels, have a long term plan to bring the whole of the Middle East and North Africa into the European Union, starting with Turkey.

        Yes–as bad as things are here, they are much worse in Britain and Europe. Suicidal madness.

    What great news! Rock on, Mr. Baransi. We stand with you, and with the nation of Israel.

    I’m happy as I can be for the owner and family! Please hang in there and keep going in the face of attacks, Israelis don’t quit in adversity, they just get more determined! From a fan of Nazareth Deli from San Diego, CA and a Vietnam Combat Veteran, U.S.Army

    ………………….

    Bravo–I’m glad to hear they are doing well! I especially like the cut-out of the owner armed with a cricket bat that Robert Spencer is posing with, as well as the Israeli flag on the door.

    Muslims have such an intolerant empty ideology.
    They have only themselves and Islam to blame for their Misery.
    Islam is the only ideology that is so flimsy that it must say that their Allah hates all others.
    Muslims are hardly “The Best of People” as they vainly claim.

    WHAT A CONTRAST

    Too bad he wasn’t there for you to meet! So glad he’s staying, I hope he can get back on his feet.

    “Go, enjoy, and go again the next day.”
    But bring a gun and be ready to use it.
