Saudi Arabians Videotape Inside Catholic Church, Scare Parishoners

Robert Spencer says behavior is "suspicious in the extreme"

KETTERING, Ohio (ChurchMilitant.com) - Three Arab men were caught recording footage in Ascension Catholic Church in Kettering, Ohio Sunday, claiming they were only "studying" Christianity — but JihadWatch's Robert Spencer is calling their behavior "suspicious in the extreme."

The men, who were visiting their families from Saudi Arabia, had all passed background checks and, according to church authorities, simply breached "proper etiquette."

While their actions did arouse suspicion, we believe their actions were simply a breach of proper etiquette," a statement on Ascension's website read Thursday morning. "While current evidence suggests that they intended no ill will, the Kettering police and other appropriate agencies are continuing to thoroughly investigate the matter and are keeping us aware of their findings."

Church Militant contacted Robert Spencer, director of JihadWatch.org. Spencer said that if the Saudis were really studying Christianity, "they could have approached the priest and asked him questions. They could have read books about Christianity. They could even have asked permission to videotape. That they did none of these things is suspicious in the extreme."

Spencer highlighted that authorities, when apprehending an extremist or investigating an attack after the fact, have found that the extremists usually have videos in their possession of their intended targets.

Wonder how the Saudis would have reacted if the parishioners had turned tables and begun recording the Saudis with smart phones.

In my parish several congregants tend to wear large untucked Hawaiian or guayabera shirts and sit in strategic positions vis a vis the doors. The priest approves of their clothing style.

This is two things. A test and a trap.
They are testing out things, to see what happens. If nothing happens to them, they will go ahead and do more.
It is a trap, like the clock boy’s contraption. If normal people fall for the trap, they will yell “Trump hates muslims”, etc.

They should`ve sprinkled those Saudi bastards with Holy Water.

The Saudi`s would've caught on fire.

The response should be to get your camera or iphone and hie over to your nearest mosque, barge in and start filming.

Current evidence will always indicate no ill will, up until the moment of the head chopping. These people should just stay in Saudi Arabia, it is such a wonderful place.

I suspect it is a plan to misdirect the west into following False leads and there by waste time and money. It is also a plan to desensitize the American public to suspicious behavior by Middle Easterners.

That is refreshing to hear. More churches need to encourage that.

This information is something that an armed congregation should whisper about in order that it will be common knowledge and even the paradise seekers will avoid.

——The STORY………

You will appreciate this email I received from an old friend

“If you place a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will immediately try to scramble out. But if you place the frog in room temperature water, and don’t scare him, he’ll stay put. Now, if the pot sits on a heat source, and if you gradually turn up the temperature, something very interesting happens. As the temperature rises from 70 to 80 degrees F., the frog will do nothing. In fact, he will show every sign of enjoying himself. As the temperature gradually increases, the frog will become groggier and groggier, until he is unable to climb out of the pot. Though there is nothing restraining him, the frog will sit there and boil. Why? Because the frog’s internal apparatus for sensing threats to survival is geared to sudden changes in his environment, not to slow, gradual changes”.

This is worth reading, however it will upset you.

ALL Of A Sudden....Seven Short Years Have Passed!

Before Obama, There was virtually no outlandish presence of Islam in America.

• All of a sudden, Islam is taught in schools. Christianity and the bible are banned in schools.

• All of a sudden we must allow prayer rugs everywhere and allow for Islamic prayer in schools, airports, and businesses.

• All of a sudden we must stop serving pork in prisons.

• All of a sudden we are inundated with law suits by Muslims who are offended by American culture

• All of a sudden we must allow burkas to be worn everywhere even though you have no idea who or what is covered up under them.

• All of a sudden Muslims are suing employers and refusing to do their jobs if they personally deem it conflicts with Sharia Law.

• All of a sudden the Attorney General of the United States vows to prosecute anyone who engages in ‘anti-Muslim speech’.

• All of a sudden, Jihadists who engage in terrorism and openly admit they acted in the name of Islam and ISIS are emphatically declared they are NOT Islamic by our leaders and/or their actions are determined NOT to be terrorism, but other nebulous terms like ‘workplace violence.”

• All of a sudden, it becomes Policy that Secular Middle East dictators that were benign or friendly to the West, must be replaced by Islamists and the Muslim Brotherhood.

• All of a sudden our troops are withdrawn from Iraq and the middle east, giving rise to ISIS.

• All of a sudden, America has reduced its nuclear stockpiles to 1950 levels, as Obama’s stated goal of a nuke-free America by the time he leaves office continues uninterrupted.

• All of a sudden, a deal with Iran must be made at any cost, with a pathway to nuclear weapons and HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of dollars handed over to fund their programs.

• All of a sudden America APOLOGIZES to Muslim states and sponsors of terror worldwide for acts of aggression, war, and sabotage THEY perpetrate against our soldiers.

• All of a sudden, the American Navy is diminished to 1917 Pre-World War I levels Of only 300 ships. The Army is at pre-1940 levels. The Air Force scraps 500 planes and planned to retire the use of the A-10 Thunderbolt close air support fighter. A further draw down of another 40,000 military personnel is in progress.

• All of a sudden half of our aircraft carriers are recalled for maintenance by Obama rendering the Atlantic unguarded, NONE are in the Middle East .

• All of a sudden Obama has to empty Guantanamo Bay of captured Jihadists and let them loose in Jihad-friendly Islamic states. He demands to close the facility.

• All of a sudden America will negotiate with terrorists and trade FIVE Taliban commanders for a deserter and Jihad sympathizer.

• All of a sudden there is no money for American poor, disabled veterans, jobless Americans, hungry Americans, or displaced Americans but there is endless money for Obama’s “Syrian refugee” resettlement Programs.

• All of sudden there is an ammunition shortage in the USA.

• All of a sudden, the most important thing for Obama to do after a mass shooting by two Jihadists, is disarm American citizens.

• All of a sudden, the President of the United States cannot attend the Christian funerals of a Supreme Court Justice and a former First Lady because of previous (seemingly unimportant) commitments.

****************************** ****************************** ****************************** ********************
All of a sudden, I’m sick to my stomach. I’m not sure the majority of Americans recognize the seriousness of the situation and how much “progress” has been made by Islam these last 7 years, a very brief time compared to a 75 year lifetime!

……………………………PLEASE DO SEND THIS ON, EVERYONE…………………………………..

FYI, I'm a pretty big guy but I can fit a Springfield XDs in my trouser/bluejeans front pocket. It's usually a back up gun/BUG. ◄ Luke 22:36 Parallel Verses New International Version He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.

So we turn the tables. How many Christians would make it through the doors in a mosque and videotape? The protected muzzards are under the impression infidels are trash and they are great. No one lifts a finger to throw it in their faces except Pamela Geller who was close to murdered by some iffy fibbie, and Jihadwatch. Very few others do anything but kowtow to these evil mf’ers.

Yikes bad sentence above. I think it’s time for me to take a break. Not a good day for my writing and running sentences.

No, it’s fine.
Mozlims see tolerance as weakness. Like homos.
It’s no coincidence that they both like to tack -phobic! on the back of their names in order to attack anyone who questions them.

Since they were strangers in a foreign country they would have said/done nothing. The KSA has no "tourist" visa so you would have never seen that there.
They aren't stupid and do know how to behave in a Christian country. If they misbehave and people KNOW that they are Saudis, they just MIGHT get themselves punched out.

However, EVERY country, culture, ethnicity and faith has its share of jerks, boobs and morons, so one would HOPE that said moron's friends would keep him in line.
