GREENVILLE -- A man has attracted the attention of the FBI after an incident at a Greenville County church last weekend.
Sheriff's deputies said Iyad Abed Alnazli entered the Redemption World Outreach Center's morning service Sunday, and tried to approach the stage.

Security officers met Alnazli before he reached the stage and stopped him.
"He became unraveled. He began to scream vulgarities out," Carpenter said.
When the officers escorted Alnazli from the building, they found he had left a briefcase in the foyer and parked his car in a church worker's spot against the building.
"And our first thoughts were, 'We have someone here who's unstable.' But the concerns grew when he began to talk all of the terrorist language, 'I want to do my job. I want to go back to my homeland," Carpenter said.

"Certainly, when someone makes a comment that would be perceived as a security issue - potential national security - as far as threats against the country, we would take those and pass them along to the FBI," Lt. Shea Smith said.
The bomb squad blew up the bag, but found no explosives. The FBI told WYFF News 4 only that it was aware of the incident and would not elaborate, but Carpenter said he was told that Alnazli was on an FBI watch list.
Investigators said Alnazli had recently been treated for mental problems.
In addition to the criminal charge, the man has been served with a trespass notice from the church.
Saw this on the news at dinnertime.
Be vigilant.
Searched and didn't see this posted.
There's an Islamic Center up the road, but I've never seen more than a couple of cars there.

'I want to do my job. I want to go back to my homeland,"
His request should be granted on a permanent basis.
Maybe the message from Allah is to quit all the murdering and sending all these bombers to hell.
...He began to scream vulgarities out,"
Yup. That definitely sounds like a message from Allah.
A Muslim with mental problems. I've never heard of such a thing. What will they come up with next?
Darn!
You beat me to saying it first!
I get junk mail from Allah all the time. Mostly mortgage refinance and used car sales, sometimes timeshare condos. I know what to do with the messages.
he's been treated for a mental disorder
islam is a mental disorder!!
LOL. I goofed around posting my reply only to see that you had beat me to the punch with almost the exact same thing.
