Muslim Family Escorted Out of Arkansas Shopping Mall
Breitbart ^ | 12/22/2015 | Trent Baker

A Muslim man is threatening to move his family out of Fort Smith, AR after a series of events that took place on Saturday at Central Mall, according to FOX4KC.

Alan and Daphne Crawford said they, along with their young son, went to the mall to shop, dressed in a thobe and hijab Saturday and that is when things went awry.

Mall-goers became concerned with the Crawfords when they were saw them taking video of people at the mall and videoing the entrances and exits.

Mall security stopped Alan from taking video, citing mall rules that prohibit videoing inside the mall, which he claims he did not know. While the Crawfords were being questioned, Alan said bystanders began snapping photos of them. The pictures were then shared on social media and some implied the Crawfords were possible terrorists.

Alan reasoned he was safe, telling reporters that he would "probably destroy" a bacon cheeseburger or some fries with bacon on it, which he said ISIS would "happily kill" him for. He also claimed his family was at Central Mall to hand out cards for a local charity and to shop for Sperry's and some Armani glasses from LensCrafters.

Those two have taken the “rasis” thingy out of Muzziephobia. They look like a couple of Arkansas hicks to me.

“I would destroy a cheeseburger or some fries with bacon on them or something like that,” Alan Crawford told the station after he was asked if he was a threat.

Sgt. Grubbs said the Crawfords, who live across the border in Oklahoma, have a history of strange behavior. He brought up how some people may not have come forward after witnessing suspicious behavior before the San Bernardino terror attack earlier this month.

“Two weeks before this we went to the mall when we were scouting out the mall the first time, quote unquote, we ate a load of bacon cheese fries, which ISIS would happily kill me for, because I’ve read my book I’m not supposed to eat bacon and I did it anyway.”

Sgt. Daniel Grubbs of the Fort Smith Police Department told the Daily News on Tuesday that the Crawfords were acting suspiciously, and that the shoppers did the right thing by reporting them. Sgt. Grubbs said he believed the Crawfords had recently converted to Islam, and were seen in regular clothing the day after the incident.

Facebook Some people posted photos on Facebook of the Crawfords being escorted from the mall. “One of the subjects told me that she thought he was acting very strange,” read the police report filed by Fort Smith Officer Anthony Cox. “I spotted the subject walking down the hall by the food court and he was holding his phone up and he was walking as if he was video taping the mall stores.”

When Officer Cox asked Alan Crawford for identification, Crawford saidhis ID “was in his front pocket and it was against his religion to pull up his ‘Man Dress’ to get it,” according to the police report.

Officer Cox recalled how Crawford told his young son “this is why you dont trust the police” and “they harass people because of their religion.”

“I audio recorded the police officer and held my camera in the manner that would lead him to believe that I did video tape while he screamed at me and told me that ‘I can confiscate your phone,’” he told the station. “You can’t confiscate my phone for mall law. I violated mall law, OK? Which wasn’t even clearly posted.”

Many muslims seem to feign indignation and then sue.

What you said is true. We all have to be vigilant. Every member of my family has their carry permit and we never leave home unarmed.

Stay safe, FRiend!

A Muslim would eat bacon because it tasted good. He’d tell Allah it was to decieve the infidel.

We should all make it our goal. A little ethnic cleansing.

They’re both European descent. They were likely born here. Ditto 4 or 5 or more generations of their ancestors as well.

Scroll for pic.

Something smells rotten here. They were dressed like devout Muslims yet eating bacon cheeseburgers, which are highly haram. They were probably just out looking for trouble.

It was either a scouting mission or a deliberate provocation.
No more playing dumb, that's the Media's job.

Why not? We have set it up for them.

Our government / media says NOTICE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY AND SAY SOMETHING
But they also say
BE NICER TO MUSLIMS THAN TO ANYONE ELSE

The leader of the free world has never told us to be nice to Christians or Jews or any other group (except #BLM) but Muslims. So if white guys are filming airports or mall exits, say something. If a Muslim is wearing a vest with wires coming out of it, you’d best keep it to yourself.

If I saw muslim converts videoing a mall, I’d tell everyone I saw. And certainly wouldn’t give a damn if someone called me racist. I drive by a mosque and “islamic center” every day. If I see anything even remotely untoward, I’m gonna be on the phone. And if I’m wrong? Who cares? I didn’t choose to be a member of a “religion” whose deity rewards rape an violence with virgins..
