Ramadan in Texas: SWAT team shoots Muslim who took hostages at Amarillo Walmart

Jun 14, 2016 2:13 pm By Robert Spencer

“We do consider this a work-place violence situation at this point.” You know, like Fort Hood. Maybe this is a genuine workplace violence situation, but since a Somali Muslim is involved and we are so constantly lied to by authorities about jihad attacks, the possibility can’t be discounted that it is something more than that as well.

Amarillo Walmart

“SWAT team shoots suspect who took hostages at Amarillo, Texas Walmart,” Fox News, June 14, 2016 (thanks to Cecilia):

DEVELOPING: A SWAT team shot a suspect who took hostages at a Walmart in Amarillo, Texas Tuesday afternoon, according to police who said the suspect was apparently dead and all hostages were safe.

Nearly an hour after city officials reported an “active shooter incident,” police said they had entered the Walmart and there was no “ongoing” shooting.

“We do consider this a work-place violence situation at this point,” the Randall County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News. One store employee told KFDA the gunman earlier released a worker and the store manager but was still inside the Walmart.

Witnesses told KVII an employee took another employee hostage.

Police said they were looking for a Somali man wearing khaki pants, KFDA added. Officers reportedly were evacuating shoppers from the west side of the store in the Texas Panhandle….

    Hmmm…Ramadan is supposed to be a time for Muslims to reflect, restrain from over excess, and be on their best behavior, according to the president of CAIR’s San Antonio, Texas Chapter:

    Sarwat Husain, president of the San Antonio, TX chapter of CAIR, wrote, ” You can feel it in the air. Muslims are happy and excited to receive and greet a very special guest: the month that gave us the Quran, the month of mercy, forgiveness, salvation, generosity. Every aspect of this month is full of blessings and bounty.”
    – San Antonio Express-News, June 5, 2016 – Religion Section, page K-3

    Yes, Sarwat, thanks for sharing. America certainly does feel it in the air.

      I can imagine how happy Ramadan is for the Muslim women who prepare the feast at night and then get up at 3:30 AM to prepare the breakfast which must be eaten before sunrise.

      And, this is fasting? In my younger days on the farm, we got up ate breakfast before sunrise, and often didn’t eat again until sundown. I didn’t realize that I was, “fasting”! When our church had a fast for a sick member, it was 24 hrs, minimum.

      It is so “difficult” that Muslims typically gain weight during Ramadan from overeating and celebrating at night. Hilariously sacrificial.

        Westman wrote: “When our church had a fast for a sick member, it was 24 hrs, minimum.”

        Indeed. Also, according to Biblical teaching, personal fasting is to be private for the length of time so that no one else knows nor is aware that the individual is fasting. This is to prevent any kind of “pious boasting” or calling attention to the fact that one is observing a personal fast, It is also a time of prayerful communication for Divine Guidance from God – and, in the case that you mentioned, for intercessory prayer and call for help from God in a certain situation. (Ref. Matthew 6:16-18)

        Yes, for a healthy and physically fit person, the fasting period can be a straight 24 hour period with no food at all – and some have gone a bit longer – and still they will not appear to be fasting

          Indeed – I drive for rideshare companies and this morning I picked up a young man named Abdullah, for a very short ride. In that few minutes, I was informed that he liked to sleep during the day while “fasting” so that it didn’t bother him. He was from Saudi Arabia, in school here at ASU on scholarship. Doesn’t work. Must be rough.

    Islam has nothing to do with this. Islam is a religion of peace.

    This has to be a Jewish or Christian plot to make “poor, discriminated” Muslims look bad.

    If this keeps going like that Muslims will get angry and continue killing as always.

    Hope Obama says something profound to protect Muslim community AGAIN.

    Starting the conversation as a “workplace violence” is an excellent idea.

    POOR MUSLIMS AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN.

      So if this is “workplace violence” was he an employee of WalMart? If not then it follows that the Orlando “incident” was also “workplace violence” since it happened at a place where some people (bartender, etc.) work. So simple if there is violence anywhere that people work it is now “workplace violence”. Just kind of eliminates any thoughts of islamic terrorism. We can all stop worrying about the hundreds of thousands of muslim refugees the “0” is bringing into the country since so few of them work.

    in Ramadan increase the Crimes they hoping more virgins

    • Mike Ramirez says

      The Muslim deeds during Ramadan are reportedly more beneficial; Kind of like “Double Reward Days”

      “As to the Righteous (they will be) in a position of Security, Among Gardens and Springs; Dressed in fine silk and in rich brocade, they will face each other; So; and We shall join them to fair women with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes.” (Qur’an.” 044.051 – 044.054)

      “Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfillment of (the heart’s) desires; Gardens enclosed, and grapevines; And voluptuous women of equal age;” (Qur’an: 078.031 – 078.033)

      “We have created (their Companions) of special creation. Lo! We have created them a (new) creation Surely We have made them to grow into a (new) growth, And made them virgin – pure (and undefiled), Beloved (by nature), equal in age,” (The Qur’an: 056.035 – 056.037 )

      “For them will be Gardens of Eternity; beneath them rivers will flow; they will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold, and they will wear green garments of fine silk and heavy brocade: They will recline therein on raised thrones. How good the recompense! How beautiful a couch to recline on!”
      (The Qur’an: 018.031)

      “But the sincere (and devoted) Servants of Allah, For them is a Sustenance determined, Fruits (Delights); and they (shall enjoy) honour and dignity, In Gardens of Felicity, Facing each other on Thrones (of Dignity):, Round will be passed to them a Cup from a clear-flowing fountain, Crystal-white, of a taste delicious to those who drink (thereof), free from headiness; nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom., And besides them will be chaste women, restraining their glances, with big eyes (of wonder and beauty). As if they were (delicate) eggs closely guarded. (The Qur’an: 37.040 – 37.049)

    Of course its “work place violence” Jethro. What we want eventually know is:
    WHAT did he say to the hostages?
    WHERE is the dead suspect from?
    WHO is he?
    WHY did he do it?

    It will be found out that he is the Pope’s alter boy and has nothing to do with the stabathon/shootathon/ burnathon/ rapathon marathon. Muslim violence during Ramadan is a myth made up by the west, prez Hussein told so on Sunday.

    Recently a somali muslim came to India for some “medical treatment”. But did not leave. He has three wives & plenty of children living in Somalia. Still , he offered some money & married a local muslim in India in the state of Andhra Pradesh that has lots of muslims. And produced four to five children. His photograph was published . Huge with an orange beard. It was reported his brother who came earlier for some treatment also did not leave.

    No further reports. This is how they behave. Indian authorities do no checking. As that state’s chief minister needs as many muslims’ votes as possible. So he would hurriedly thrust citizenship certificates in their hands. Soon their children would be agitating for reservations & FREE admissions in schools & by & by in job sector. Might also erupt with sudden jihad syndrome.

    I discriminate against Moslems. Don’t do business with them. Refuse to socialize with them and take pictures of mosques from my Pickup to make them nervous. I get over it quickly. Also, hang out at the Pig Roast Saloon here in Nevada. A great safe place with tons of concealed carry folks.

    Even if it wasn’t a terrorist act, it’s still another crime committed by a strict Muslim, low IQ black African who should never have been allowed into the US in the first place. What could he possibly have contributed to a free, democratic society?

    • Hope says

      Jun 14, 2016 at 10:27 pm

      I would like to tell everyone that I work with a group of Christian African immigrants, and they are wonderful people. They are honest, generous, church-going, hard-working people who care about others. They are delightful to work with. They are kind, intelligent, have nice manners, and speak English beautifully. I guess my point is that being Black or African does not predispose one to violence or arrogance. Being raised in a totalitarian, supremacist ideology like islam certainly does, no matter what one’s race or country of origin.

    Try calling them “monsters, savages, barbarians”. Pigs are actually clean animals, and since Muslims hate them so much, we should learn to love them and have little china figures and posters of them in all our public places….

    • Carolyne says

      Jun 15, 2016 at 12:04 pm

      Good idea. Ms. Piggy is a pig and she is sweet and clean. Muslims are not sweet and most of them aren’t even clean.

      I wonder if everyone else is as tired of this as I am and tired of our government which coddles and protects these barbarians. I think the worst are from Somalia, but they are all bad.

      I’m voting for Trump. He might not be better but he couldn’t be worse than Hillary Clinton who takes big pay offs from Saudi Arabia and Qattar. Bought and paid for. At least Trump can’t be bought.

    “Officers reportedly were evacuating shoppers from the west side of the store…”

    I find it funny that Wal-Mart is big enough that terror incidents don’t require evacuation of the entire store.

    “Attention shoppers, aisles 10, 11, and 12 are closed due to a jihad event. Please take this opportunity sample some of the cheeses we are offering near the dairy case!”

    He’s a Somali and he has notes with Arabic writing and he is a Muslim. But it’s not terrorism? Oh God. What is wrong with the law enforcement in our country? They always first announce, a Muslim did it but its not terrorism. Of course it is.

    We must have the dumbest people in the whole country making these decisions. Obama is one of them. And with Hillary Clinton, it will be more of the same.

    Actually, as reported by the APD today, the man was a refugee from Iran who was placed with his wife in Amarillo eight years ago. The pastor of a local church said he had visited with both the man and his wife many times while shopping at the store. He told me he had even been to their home a couple times where they had allowed him to pray with them. I also had met both the man and wife while shopping. They were always polite and frienly, embarrased because they did speak English well. None of his co-workers or friends have been able to explain the man’s actions. I believe this truly is a case of “work place violence”.

  20. Jennifer Grisham says

    Seeing as I live near there and have the inside scoop, I’ll lay it out for you. Yes, he was a muslim. It actually was workplace violence. As you know, many muslims have famously short fuses. Basically the guy worked with another guy who said things about Islam that offended him. He went to management who did nothing. Then him and the other guy posted for the same position, and the other guy got it. So he did like any reasonable employee would do (<sarcasm) and took management hostage with a gun.

      I doubt your version of events. These days, any complaint of harassment by a Muslim is treated as a capital offense.
