Muslims buy cellphones in large quantities in the middle of the night at a rural Walmart. The FBI was alerted, but people are worried that their concern was \u201cracist.\u201d Sheriff Merritt said: \u201cYou\u2019re not being racist or anything like that you\u2019re just protecting yourself.\u201d Why shouldn\u2019t people have been concerned? Cellphones have been used by jihad terrorists to detonate bombs. Noticing that and being vigilant against it happening again is \u201cracist\u201d? This is the number that Islamic advocacy groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has done on the American people. The steady battering of stories like Clock Boy Ahmed Mohamed has intimidated Americans into thinking that resisting jihad is somehow wrong and \u201cracist.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Muslims buying these cellphones may not have been up to anything wrong. But investigating them isn\u2019t wrong, either, and is no evidence of \u201cIslamophobia.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLarge quantity of cellphones bought raises red flags,\u201d by Paula Morehouse and Tom Schultheis,KY3.com<\/a>, December 9, 2015 (thanks to Gateway Pundit<\/a>):<\/p>\n LEBANON, Mo. \u2013 In the early morning hours on Saturday\u2013around 3:50\u2013two men buying a large number of cellphones at the Walmart in Lebanon set off some concern.<\/p>\n Local authorities were alerted.<\/p>\n \u201cSomebody went in and bought 60 cellphones from Walmart that\u2019s not normal for this area,\u201d explained Laclede County sheriff Wayne Merritt.<\/p>\n After talking with the men, officers didn\u2019t have a legal reason to detain them so the men were allowed to leave, according to a Lebanon Police Department incident report.<\/p>\n Local authorities, though, did notify the FBI.<\/p>\n Sheriff Merritt said calling law enforcers was the right move.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not going to say just because they\u2019re different religion or because they\u2019re Muslim, but these people were they were foreign speaking, then you need to take notice and you need to let us know about it because it doesn\u2019t hurt to check on it. You\u2019re not being racist or anything like that you\u2019re just protecting yourself,\u201d Merritt said.<\/p>\n After the San Bernardino shooting, several media outlets reported some neighbors noticed suspicious activity at the home of shooters Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik. Purchasing cellphones in bulk is done for any number of uses including to give as gifts or to resell for profit.<\/p>\n Law enforcement agencies report cellphones are also potential tools in the hands of terrorists.<\/p>\n The devices can be used to communicate and they\u2019re difficult to trace if they\u2019re prepaid phones; they can also be used as detonators for bombs\u2026.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
