Texas Church to Be Razed After Massacre

Leah Barkoukis / Townhall Tipsheet

The First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, Texas, will be razed after Sunday’s mass shooting that killed 26 people and injured 20 others, its pastor told the Southern Baptist Convention Thursday.

"There's too many that do not want to go back in there," Pastor Frank Pomeroy told The Wall Street Journal. Pomeroy’s 14-year-old daughter, Annabelle, died in the shooting.

"The pastor expressed his desire that perhaps the best way forward is to have the church demolished and replaced with a prayer garden," convention spokesman Roger "Sing" Oldham, said, reports USA Today, adding that parishioners haven't "had a chance to fully deal with the grief and then come together to make a decision."

Oldham explained the church would be “too stark of a reminder” of the massacre.

Charlene Uhl, mother of 16-year-old Haley Krueger, who died in the attack, agreed that the church should come down.

Erdogan: The aim of the term “moderate Islam” is to “weaken Islam"                                                                By Robert Spencer / Jihad Watch

“The term ‘moderate Islam’ is being lathered up again. The patent of moderate Islam belongs to the West. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam; Islam is one. The aim of using such terms is to weaken Islam.” “Lathered up”: good phrase, Tayyip! Doesn’t Erdogan know that “Islam is not a monolith”? He must be […]

St. Cloud, MN, site of jihad attack by Muslim migrant, rejects resolution calling for moratorium on immigration

By Pamela Geller / THE GELLER REPORT

Muslim migrant Dahir Adan went on a stabbing spree at a mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota in September 2016. Dressed in a private security uniform, Adan yelled “Islam, Islam” and “Allahu akbar,” as well as asking several people whether they were Muslim before stabbing them during the Sept. 17 attack. This was signature jihad — we have seen jihadis separate Muslim from non-Muslims during the attacks at the Oberoi Trident hotel, the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower in Mumbai, at the Westgate in Nairobi, the beach resort in Tunisia, the gas complex attack in Algeria, etc.

A little over a year later, the City Council of the same city, St. Cloud, Minnesota, rejected a moratorium on immigration. They already suffered a jihad attack by a Muslim migrant, but it did not teach them anything. They still either don’t know or don’t care that it is impossible to distinguish jihadi Muslims from peaceful Muslim refugees. They either don’t know or don’t care that any Muslim who reads and believes the Quran’s verses about making war against and killing unbelievers could go jihad at any time. To be concerned about such things is “islamophobic.”

St. Cloud’s City Council either doesn’t know or doesn’t care that the kind of jihad attack that Dahir Adan perpetrated in their city last year could happen again. And so it will.

While Russia worked with Iran to help rid Syria of ISIS do NOT think for a minute that Putin will let Iran take Syria over.
