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

Arkansas: Heavily-armed Muslima charged over online jihad threat

Jul 1, 2016 2:55 pm By Robert Spencer

Daphne and Alan Lewis Crawford Jr., converts to Islam, were arrested early June 18 by Fayetteville police and the FBI. They had “three AR-15 assault rifles, a 12-gauge shotgun, six handguns and roughly 2,000 rounds of ammunition, including 721 rounds for the assault rifles, in the Crawford’s room at Value Place motel.” It looks as if Umm Ammara Khalid and her pious Muslim husband were about to embark upon a jihad.

Daphne-and-Alan-Crawford

“Woman indicted over online threat after argument at Arkansas restaurant,” by Ron Wood, Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette, July 1, 2016:

Daphne Ann Crawford, 29, was indicted by a federal grand jury, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court. The indictment says Crawford used the Internet to transmit a message May 24 threatening to injure another person with a firearm. Use of the Internet is considered interstate commerce. The argument involving Crawford, her husband and the restaurant staff happened at Mel's Diner. A customer posted a comment on Facebook about the incident. Crawford responded online and said her husband would shoot the customer and the customer's family, according to court documents. Crawford sent the person a photo of her husband dressed in Middle Eastern attire holding an assault rifle. Both Crawfords claim they are Muslim converts.

“Claim”?

The indictment was filed June 22. Crawford was arraigned Tuesday morning.

Crawford, also known as Daphne Ridenour and Umm Ammara Khalid, is being held at the Washington County jail.

Daphne and Alan Lewis Crawford Jr., both of whom list 98835 S. 4750 Road, Muldrow, Okla., as their address, were arrested early June 18 by Fayetteville police and the FBI in connection with simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms, possession of a controlled substance, fleeing and endangering the welfare of a minor, according to a preliminary arrest report.

Officers found three AR-15 assault rifles, a 12-gauge shotgun, six handguns and roughly 2,000 rounds of ammunition, including 721 rounds for the assault rifles, in the Crawford’s room at Value Place motel, according to the report.

The search also found clonazepam pills and THC wax, the report said. THC is the active ingredient in marijuana. Clonazepam is used as an anti-anxiety medicine….

    I wonder what they were arguing about at Mel’s Diner? Probably some Infidel patron made a wisecrack about their funny clothes, which is so unfair. That it ended up with the Moslems making a murder threat is understandable. Now county prosecutor has to figure out how to quietly let them off on these charges, otherwise the Moslem community could be offended which might result in more death threats or even a god old fashioned mass murder. Trouble. The wiseacre at Mel’s Diner shoulda taken the advice of Bill O’Reilly and Laura Ingraham and showed some restraint, respect even.

      How were they able to get hold of so many firearms? Are they permanently stoned? Or do they deal drugs to finance their firearm collection?

    • Patty says

      Jul 2, 2016 at 2:42 am

      No, they screamed at the waitress, called her filthy names then stalked her, harassed her, made very serious death threats, because she wore a Cross. They called her subhuman and claimed they were superior. They need a good ol boy whoopin.

      Armed pig farmer,
      We don’t know what transpired in the diner. You weren’t there. You have chastised everyone because they might have said something about their dress or another thought: it may have started with the Muslims. Their hatred of ANY non-believer could have pushed them to start the problem no matter where they are. You don’t know. Why do we have to self-sensor of our First Amendment rights?

    Wonder did the police describe the rifles as “AR-15 assault rifles”? Is there a specific law against “simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms”?

    In a related islamic jihadist issue, US tells (desperately) Russia, not to bomb Al-Qaeda safe zones it plans to establish in Syria. Read more of this below:

      And the paid russian troll comes by, with his usual drivel….. They are having OBAMA, the product of the russian steal jihad against the west, to not interfere with the ongoing russian jihad.

    Without Muslim control, gun control is rather pointless.

    • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

      Jul 1, 2016 at 3:58 pm

      Not true. A guy gets to mow down a few before they snuff him out in the name of the Holy Ko-Ran.

      Jul 2, 2016 at 8:21 am

      I agree with Jay Boo , Just another example as to why we need to get legislation that will get the Muslim cult out of government. Lets get this one done!!

    Robert
    Jeh Johson will double down and say they’re both mentally defective AND being converts they weren’t introduced to “real”Islam. Watch and listen for the prediction. Oh during Congresional testimony he defended the Government relying on the Muslim Brotherhood to help kids and Agents I live in an upside down World. thank God my Dad passed long before this. 100% sure this would have been the straw that broke his back and he lived through a lot but not traitors.

    Jul 1, 2016 at 4:17 pm

    Sensationalizing stories by using the term ASSAULT RIFLE does nothing but give strength to the push for gun control.
    FACT:
    AR-15 stands for
    ARMALITE RIFLE, DESIGN 15
    Designed in 1957 by ARMALITE

    It is not Assault Rifle.
    It is not Automatic Rifle.

    • EYESOPEN says

      Jul 1, 2016 at 9:26 pm

      Absolutely correct. However, to the ignorant (and Democrats, but I repeat myself), the gun looks baaaaad; and so it is designated (by them) as an “assault rifle”.

    • Lia says

      Jul 2, 2016 at 2:33 am

      Thank you, Dwight. How will you get this into the heads of the LSM’s ‘journalists’?

    Jul 1, 2016 at 4:23 pm

    How can the MSM and CAIR spin this? I got it, they were simply dim-wit survivalists collecting protective gear for protection during a crisis. The clonazepam pills and THC wax items were emergency “food storage”.

    A customer posted a comment on Facebook about the incident. Crawford responded online and said her husband would shoot the customer and the customer’s family, according to court documents. Crawford sent the person a photo of her husband dressed in Middle Eastern attire holding an assault rifle. Both Crawfords claim they are Muslim converts.

    Disturbing situation when people convert to Islam.Why?

    • Wellington says

      Jul 1, 2016 at 8:59 pm

      Because they’re losers. No adult converts to Islam and is not a loser somehow, someway. No exceptions.

      I do wish this would be better understood but, of course, as long as the Great Pretend Game (GPG) continues that Islam is something good, then expect much more of this nonsense. Losers and Islam——-perfect together.

      • Concerned Indian says

        Jul 1, 2016 at 9:17 pm

        Thanks,wellington for a prompt reply.That was real quick.My earlier reply somehow was not sent.Hence writing again.

        Rosemary Sookhdeo has written “Stepping Into The Shadows”.She has tried to explain why Christian girls get into Islam.She feels it’s mainly falling in love.

        Many western women travel to the Middle Eastern,North African nations and Turkey to have affairs on the sly.They get sucked in.An atheist turns into a devout Muslima.On YouTube,there is a video about Ukrainian women and they are asked if they are for or against marrying foreigners.A couple of them replied –why do I have to convert,why can’t he instead?Does that mean it’s me who loves him more?”. Very right.However,women do get attracted to rugged,handsome men who appear polite.Very sad.This way Islam spreads “peacefully”.

        If you have time and inclination,do let me know what is your experience and thoughts.With Regards,

          Concerned Indian: About eight years ago, before I retired from teaching, I taught a young Indian woman (a Hindu by faith), a very smart and attractive person, who told me that her grandmother told her never to date or think about going with a Muslim man. I conveyed to the young woman that her grandmother told her something very wise and that she should listen to her about this. I didn’t really have to though because, as I already indicated, she was smart. Even though young, she knew. Yes she did. Unfortunately, and as you mentioned, many non-Muslim women don’t understand what they’re getting into by going with a Muslim man, let alone making the colossal error of marrying one.

          Best to your and yours. Take care.

      Concerned Indian, it falls on the need people have to be “the only ones with the truth”. Like Jehovas Witnesses, it sets them apart from average citizens allowing them to be smug, covert special people. They are in the catbird seat, looking down on all of us who are “not in the know”. And really, this way if thinking is kind of normal. The problem comes when being special means you kill for your God.

    Here’s an idea…. perhaps it might make sense to ban guns!!!

    • Western Canadian says

      Jul 3, 2016 at 4:16 pm

      You already demonstrated that you are an inexcusably stupid and ignorant ass on the issue of guns on another thread…. And you were firmly kicked in the teeth and ass, made to look the ignorant clown you are…..

      “Western Canadian says
      July 2, 2016 at 4:40 pm

      Barnaby and Richard, you are both utter and complete morons, without a single fact to back up your irrational hatred of Americans, those who own guns and those who do not. The US is NOT experiencing blood baths due to noncriminals owning guns…. It has a high murder rate, due to select cities banning NONcriminals from owning guns, while doing nothing to shut down the gang culture that commits half the murders in the US….. Contrary to lies that you two love to cling to, school shooting are down, and have been dropping for decades. Most US states have VERY low murder rates, the cities cursed for decades with democrat political machines are the outliers…. A breakdown by COUNTY of US murder rates, says all that ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE TRUTH needs to know about US murder rates and responsible gun owners…. which obviously doe not include you two ignorant and proud if it ass’s. Red state voting counties (Republican counties) average murder rate is less than 0.05 per hundred thousand. Blue state voting counties (democrat counties) average murder rate is over 17 per hundred thousand. And don’t bother lying to try to weasel out of being so damned ignorant and so damned stupid.”

    I cannot help but wonder if this daffy “Daphne Ann Crawford, 29” coincidentally happens to be a resident of the highly contested ‘exclusively muslim enclave/development’ in Little Rock?

    As a long time reader of JW, this article reminded me of mention of a 2004 JW article which does not appear in it’s archives. The issue is mentioned in a related thread JW: The Islamist Challenge to the U.S. Constitution dated April 2006…

    “In August 2004, a local planning commission in Little Rock, Arkansas, granted The Islamic Center for Human Excellence authorization to build an internal Islamic enclave to include a mosque, a school, and twenty-two homes.[3] While the imam, Aquil Hamidullah, says his goal is to create “a clean community, free of alcohol, drugs, and free of gangs,”[4] the implications for U.S. jurisprudence of this and other internal enclaves are greater: while the Little Rock enclave might prevent the sale of alcohol, can it punish possession and in what manner? Can it force all women, be they residents or visitors, to don Islamic hijab (headscarf)? Such enclaves raise the fundamental questions of when, how, and to what extent religious practice may supersede the U.S. Constitution.”

    Via Internet archive I located an original article from Fox: Fox16: Muslim Community Development Plans Posted on 8/26/2004 10:00:19 PM

    “Controversy over building a proposed Islamic community in Little Rock and many residents are not pleased. The planning commission unanimously approved the project which includes a mosque, a school and more than 20 homes. This stamp of approval is just the first step in a long process that will include much opposition. Several members of the community and members of the planning commission expressed their concerns….After much heated debate and questions from members of the commission about a possible exclusion of certain religions, deputy City Attorney Cindy Dawson reminded the planning commission they are only allowed to vote based on the property and its location, not the other issues. …”

    Could this case be a prima facie illustration of ‘consequences’ ?

    If one is born a muslim, one has no choice; like a snake born a snake. But any CONVERT to islam should immediately sound the alarm bells with the authorities, because the only reason they convert is to commit jihad. These converts are sick and twisted criminals that seek the approval of a sick and twisted islam for their desire to murder. Would be a good idea to ship this pair to ISIS.
