Backlash in California: Muslim at mall kiosk tears crucifix from shopper, shouts "Allah is power"
jihadwatch.org ^ | 11/11/2009 | staff

Whoops, sorry -- this isn't backlash against the poor, innocent Muslims being terrorized and victimized by the thousands after the Fort Hood Nothing-To-Do-With-Islam attack. This is just the familiar Muslim backlash against non-Muslims, which will increasingly be a feature of American life in the coming years. Nothing to see here. Move along.

"Man arrested for 'anti-Christian' mall disturbance: Kiosk employee allegedly tore a crucifix from someone's neck," by Emily West for the Danville Express, November 10 (thanks to Bob):

Police arrested 22-year-old Abdul Walid Hamid of Hayward on the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 4, after he reportedly tore a crucifix from a person's neck and scared others at Stoneridge Shopping Center. Hamid, an employee at a mall kiosk near Starbucks, has been charged with battery, terrorist threats and grand theft.

According to reports, Hamid was yelling "Allah is power" and "Islam is great" while holding a pen in a fist over his head. Witnesses said he shouted anti-Christian comments, said police.

Lt. Mike Elerick of the Pleasanton Police Department said the man was not provoked and didn't threaten violence, but he committed robbery when he grabbed and broke a crucifix off someone's neck.

Coworkers told police that Hamid's actions were out of the ordinary and that he had worked at the kiosk for years.

You mean, he didn't do this daily? What a relief!

Police also said they weren't aware of a prior criminal history for the man. "We had multiple people calling 911," Elerick said. "One female was crouching down and hiding from him. He definitely scared quite a few people."...

Through an interpreter, Hamid requested a public defender and was scheduled to appear in court at 9 a.m. Thursday where he is expected to enter a plea.

Through an interpreter? He worked at the mall and didn't speak English?

Too bad he didn’t get the sh#t beat out of him by the rest of the infidels in the mall.

“Hamid was yelling “Allah is power” and “Islam is great” while holding a pen in a fist over his head.”

He is very lucky to still be alive. “I swear I thought it was a knife in his hand officer, I really, really did. Pinky promise. I felt I had no other choice but to shoot to save my life and that of others. No, really....what? I am NOT smiling.”

That would be my story and I’d stick to it.

He probably got stressed out because the Son of OBama recognized the 13 Americans had been killed at Fort Hood by a Muslim who did not die immediately and had to wait for his sexual gratification....maybe for years.

Not backlash. It's another militant Islamist attacking attacking infidels. Fortunately, this criminal didn't have a firearm at hand. I hope INS/ICE is prepared to deport him (assuming he's not a U.S. citizen). Persona non grata for life would be fine by me.

Meanwhile, members of his family, who declined to give their names, claimed he's only been in the country a few months and is still learning the language and the laws.

Not to worry. I think the political and cultural pendulum is going to begin swinging back at neck-snapping velocity, and The Rabble Within is going to have the ultimate 'oh, shit' moment. Mark this: at the end of the day, personal liberty and human survival are two absolutes that nobody - not even that traitor Alinsky - can use against itself.

Obviously a hate crime.

How far a leap is it from ripping a crucifix from someone’s neck to offing innocent shoppers?

While I am a Lutheran and have a bit of a problem with the Crucifix (I like the empty cross, because "He is Risen!"), and I have an ex-MIL who broke up the marriage in the name of the "One True Religion", I would have pounded that jerk into the ground to the point that only DNA would have been used to identify him.

Fellow Christians and Jews, and all other non-Muslims, IT IS WAR! TOTAL WAR!

I would like to rip those "Co-Exist" bumper stickers off of those Volvos and ram them up the drivers' posterior!

I really have to stop internalizing these emotions. It cannot be good for me!

I can co-exist peacefully with those of other faiths. I am waiting for them to do the same.

Anyone of any faith may attend a service at my church and walk the grounds. My father is Catholic but I am not. I have no doubts or fears that I could walk around the Vatican. My dad’s cousins even had an audience with the Pope.

If I were to travel to Mecca, I would be put to death for my “crime”. All muslims bow to Mecca 5 times a day. Every day. I never hear them speak out against this. Bibles are prohibited in Saudi Arabia. The nation that Mecca resides in (or more correctly, Saudi Arabia surrounds the capital of the Islamic empire).

Where is this tolerance and co-existence of which they speak and why is Islam at the front of those Co-exist stickers and Christianity at the end?

Good catch.

But let’s not jump to conclusions.

He may have just been feeling the stress of working the kiosk all by himself.

Next time instead of multiple people calling 911, at least one observer should capture the incident on cellphone video with audio.

But the followers of the false prophet cannot coexist peacefully even among themselves ...

why is Islam at the front of those Co-exist stickers and Christianity at the end?

Because there is no Christian symbol that readily substitutes for a "C", and no mohammedan symbol that readily substitutes for a "T".

This kind of comment, which we've seen before, logically implies that any muslim may at any time mainfest SJS (sudden jihad syndrome) even without warning.

Sometimes when protected classes run into the legal or healthcare system they request interpeters at 60+ dollars an hour picked up by taxpayers becasue they are entitled. I wonder wheter this man was already prepped to do so.

Allah has no power! Allah is one of the 360 pagan Arabian false gods of Saudi Arabia. Many little stone gods labled “allah” on their chests, have been found in the sands of Saudi Arabia. Back in the time of Muhammed, the people would believe just anything that they were told, no matter what it was. Barack, Muhammed’s horse, supposedly had the head of a woman, and the tail of a peacock. How much more fanciful could they get?

Through an interpreter? He worked at the mall and didn't speak English?

I had some guy (Mohamed Somethingorother) deliberately run his car into me in Alexandria VA a few years back. The guy clammed up and pretended not to speak English.

Until the cops decided to ticket him. Then he was like Johnnie Cochran.
