The Ohio State University Coalition for Black Liberation held a rally to protest racist cops' shooting black men. One of the "wrongly shot" individuals was Abdul Razak Ali Artan who ran over some students with his automobile and went on a rampage stabbing others until he was shot by campus police.
One of the rally's spokespersons, Maryam Abidi characterized the shooting as "a disproportionate response. Artan was only armed with a knife. There was no call for police to escalate to the use of firearms."
Abidi called the claim that the shooting was necessary to save the lives of others who might have been stabbed "a self-serving and tired excuse for police brutality. Whether Artan was a threat to others is irrelevant. He was still a human being entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The appropriate law enforcement response would have been a non-lethal apprehension followed by a fair trial."
What constitutes a "fair trial" may have been illustrated by Above the Law Elie Mystal editor's recommendation that black jurors should vote to acquit all non-white defendants accused of crimes against white victims. "I see it as a balancing out of the injustice inflicted on blacks accused of crimes against whites during the Jim Crow era," Mystal said. "Will it mean exonerating some guilty men? Sure, but that will be payback for all the innocent blacks railroaded by racist juries across America for centuries."
As it turns out, Artan posted a rant against the oppression of Muslims on his Facebook page prior to his violent attack on his fellow students. In the rant he cited the looks he feared he would get from other students if he tried to follow Islam's daily calls to prayer, saying that "this would intrude on my right as a Muslim to receive the respect from unbelievers which the Quran commands. My only honorable course is to kill as many of them as I can before I am martyred for Allah."
Despite the Facebook evidence, Associate Professor Pranav Jani lamented that "since the perpetrator was killed we may never understand why he lashed out like he did." This sentiment paralleled Ohio Governor John Kasich's fear that "we may never know the motive behind this unfortunate event."
In related news, the Church of the Holy Trinity in Kristianstad, Sweden took pity on a group of Muslim refugees and invited them to make themselves a home on church property. Church officials were distressed to find feces and puddles of urine in the back pews of the chapel. In addition to not being housebroken, some of the men terrorized parishioners by screaming Islamic chants during church services, masturbating in front of young women in the church, climbing on the organ pipes, and, in one instance, trying to kidnap a baby about to be baptized. Unapologetic refugee Ibn Baddas proclaimed "all the world is for Allah and his believers. We should kill these kaffirs for trespassing on land belonging to Islam, but we are merciful."
