Minnesota: Charges dropped against Christian pastor arrested at Mall of America for talking with Muslims

A small restoration of sanity in Minnesota, and a speed bump in the path of the Sharia train there.

“Charges Dropped Against Christian Pastor Arrested at Mall of America,” by Anthony Gockowski, Minnesota Sun, March 9, 2019 (thanks to Creeping Sharia):

Ramin Parsa, a Christian pastor who was arrested at the Mall of America in August and charged with trespassing, was cleared of all charges during a court hearing Thursday.

“Praise the Lord! The prosecution is suspended, no more criminal charges, pleaded not guilty. Thank you so much for your prayers. We have resolved the criminal case and the city is not going to prosecute me further, so the city is out of it,” Parsa wrote on Facebook.

As The Minnesota Sun reported, Parsa runs Redemptive Love Ministries in Los Angeles, but visited Minnesota in August. While in the state, he took a trip to the Mall of America and ended up in what he has called a “random” conversation with two Somali women.

As an ex-Muslim, he spoke with the two about his conversion to the Christian faith, and was reported to mall security by a passersby. He was subsequently arrested, taken to the basement of the Mall of America, and charged with trespassing.

Parsa returned to Minnesota Wednesday evening ahead of his court hearing, and spoke at the Minnesota Capitol during a prayer rally hosted in support of him.

“I’ve been through this before in other countries,” he said during the rally. “The only thing that made me sad is that it happened in America, a nation I love with all my heart. This should not be happening in this country.”

The charges are always dropped. The leftist trained police are purposely using their arrest authority to harass and intimidate christians.

The only way to stop the harassment is to sue the security personnel, the company that hired them and the mall itself.

Doesn’t matter that the charges are dropped, the left made their point that Christians would be harassed in public.

The process becomes the punishment.

The Mall of America has become the mall of Somalia. It is really disgusting.

The left is at war, and they are shrewd in their planning, ruthless in execution.

Take a state, mostly northern European in ancestry, that is, in the middle of America, and is quite liberal due to the openness and naivety of the residents. Import muslims who are unwilling to assimilate, and hostile to Americans in general.

Wait for the boil, watch Minnesota crack. A fracture right in the middle of America.

Get another Democrat elected president, repeat the procedure in another state. Notice they target a moderately populated state, one where tens of thousands of imports make a difference.

Meanwhile, the thing that makes conservatives tough, will kill us. We are individualistic, and we tend to focus on our families, and our neighbors. We aren’t well suited to the hive mind, and the leftist type of planning.

It doesn’t look good.

It’s time for people to wake up to the fact that the coverage their political agenda is cloaked and masked in their “religion”.

Tell me, what God would make heaven a whore house? Think about it 72 virgins for every one of the most sadistic, warped and criminal thugs that walked the planet?
What’s in it for the 72 virgins? What are they to do in their spare time??? be jar lickers for eternity?
... let alone all the little boys, strewn around like pearls

Tell me what God would endorse pedophilia which Mohammet codified in being the model man??? Now there are NATIONS of pedophiles, nations of abused girls.
Child brides are legal wherever Islam runs a nation.

This Islam thing is just a pirates code.

Good post, brownsfan! Here is my take:

We are at war with Islam, whether we want to be or not!

I fully believe that Islam has declared war on Western Civilization. I see nothing in the news to disabuse me of that notion. And, as far as I am concerned, Westerners are generally oblivious to it, despite almost continuous repeated attacks against non-Moslems by Moslems, worldwide.

You will note, despite the recent massacre in New Zealand, that there are very few attacks by non-Moslems against Moslems! Worldwide, Moslems are the ones doing the killing, not non-Moslems.

HST, there MAY be some “good” Moslems, but we don’t have any way of knowing who they are. Moslems are permitted (ENCOURAGED) – to practice “Taqiyya” (Moslem scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other, unless the purpose of lying is to “smooth over differences” or “gain the upper-hand over an enemy”) – to lie to non-Moslems. How can we EVER believe a Moslem?

I am not “Islamophobic!”

I do not have an unreasonable fear of Islam.

I do, however, believe that Islam represents a Clear and Present Danger to ALL non-Moslems, and is a danger to many Moslems – the Sunni vs Shia “Hatfield and McCoy Feud” for example, which has been on-going since Mohammed died in 632 AD! – is a prime example of that.

We Westerners need to understand that Islam’s growth has been through two primary methods – war and immigration – “hijra.” There is a good article about it at https://www.cspii.org/blog/immigration-islamic-doctrine-and-history/.

I am not some whack job white supremacist – I believe we have a Moslem problem, and I believe we are not properly addressing it, at our considerable peril, either as a country or as a civilization.

In 40 years, MN has turned from the center of the Universe in Christian thought to Ground Zero for Muslim infiltration paid for my our Gov.

He needs to file suit himself not just let the charges drop. Only way to stop it.

Communism has used culture mixing to destroy nations for many years.

They filled Ukraine with Russians, and Tibet with Chinese to destroy traditions for the goal of greater control.

“I am not some whack job white supremacist – I believe we have a Moslem problem, and I believe we are not properly addressing it, at our considerable peril, either as a country or as a civilization.”

After 9/11 I educated myself regarding islam, and I couldn’t agree with you more.

Most Americans don’t notice, and don’t care, they’re consumed with some tripe on twitter, or what new smart phone they think they need.

And of those of us who notice, half of those are liberals who want to virtue signal by welcoming muslims, regardless of what actions muslims take, or what history has taught us.

Those of us who notice, and understand the threat, we are a minority. muslims have never peacefully coexisted with another religion anywhere. Look at what history teaches us, look at what great minds like Churchill have said about muslims.

You make a good point about good ones. There are 1.5 billion muslims in the world, it’s not possible they’re all bad. And the good ones just make the war that much more difficult to get others to recognize.

Hooray! We’ve been hoping for this.

I mean, the ladies who were supposedly offended said they absolutely weren’t. Slam dunk..

The West, Christian and otherwise, has been at war with Islam for the better part of 1,400 years. While there have been a few “cease fires” and periods when it was more of a cold war, it was war nonetheless. The gay, open-minded, progressive and promiscuous will assert that those of us who insist that we’re at war are bigots, “Islamophobes”, “racist” (too stupid to realize that Islam isn’t a race), etc., not realizing that they will be the first to go.
