Being vigilant and aware are hallmarks in this day and age.
If you feel that LW is wrong, and you aren't keeping an eye out for strange activities (and this certainly would qualify as strange in the circumstances), then don't be surprised if someone whom you don't know begins to do the same sort of thing...
Paranoid? Perhaps.
But right now, a measure of paranoia is warranted, and it may keep you alive.
Be vigilant. Be safe...
Keep us posted.
And of you're not already armed, get armed.
Anywho, he told these guys they should dump Christianity and switch to Islam, since Islam is newer, just like you trade in an old car for a newer one.
The folks across the street were having a yard sale to get rid of stuff cause they are moving to Elk Grove near Sacramento.
I wonder how much they know about where they are supposedly moving, or is that just a place they pulled out of a hijab?

If Nasser's friends are moving, that may be a red light. Before 9/11 many muslims 'dissappeared' from their work or went on vacation.
From CCC at #33:
he asked my wife whether she was a Jew.
No offense at all, CCC, but you are rather new around here and I am not familiar with your posts. If this happened as you say [and you've already notified the FBI], it might be prudent to get out of town. Were you on good terms with these neighbors, such that they would think of selectively 'warning' you in this way? You appear to be perilously close to Sodom er San Francisco.
Or, perhaps, God has brought them halfway around the world to find salvation in Jesus Christ. Muslim students, for example, might be out from under religious supervision for the first time in their lives, and amenable to new perspectives on life.
Here, here! Since I was so unable to say much during my conversation with Nasser, my wife and I have been praying for He and his family and our neighbors. It is time for God to take over. Although no one else may be able to descern a man's heart, God can.
The posters are right about the need to be concerned about him approaching you and giving you a "chance" to convert. I wouldn't have been able to keep my steely eyes from melting him to the pavement if he had spoken to me. Just be a little extra careful, it could be nothing, but with these guys you can't just assume that it's nothing.
I would also suggest paying a visit to your friendly neighborhood firearms dealer and keeping a close eye on this neighbor.
Ezekiel 3
16 Now it came to pass at the end of seven days that the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 17 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: 18 When I say to the wicked, "You shall surely die,' and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. 19 Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
20 "Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.
21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul."
Oy!
Dave Wilkerson spoke from the same passage, and the choir belted out 'Jehovah Jireh' (My Provider) which happens to be from the Torah reading for the second day of Rosh HaShanah! Genesis 22
