Muslim Refugee Inflicts 'Carnage' in Ohio

MUSLIM REFUGEE  inflicts  ‘carnage’ inside  Ohio  restaurant  Police refuse to ID machete-wielding MUSLIM assailant in ‘systematic attack‘

CBS News was first to identify the attacker, who entered the Nazareth Mediterranean Restaurant and began slashing people, as a Somali immigrant named Mohamed Barry.

“He came to each table and just started hitting them,” one of the diners, Karen Bass, told CBS News. “There was a man on the floor bleeding, there was blood on the floor. It was awful. It was just carnage.”

Four people were wounded in the machete attack, one critically.

The owner of the restaurant, Hany Baransi, who is a Christian Arab from Israel, said he had not taken a day off since Jan. 2 but took off Thursday night because of a migraine headache. He is a proud Israeli citizen who flies the Israeli flag in his restaurant.

“Obviously we were targeted because there’s a whole bunch of businesses around here,” he told the Columbus Dispatch.  As an Arab Christian who supports Israel, he described himself as “the minor, minor, minor of the minority, so nobody likes me.”

“This was a brutal attack,” said Sgt. Rich Weiner, with Columbus Police. “The second time, nothing was said. He just came in and started the attack.”  “Right now there’s nothing that leads us to believe that this is anything but just a random attack,” Weiner said.

Two men left the restaurant and called 9-1-1 while another threw chairs at the attacker. Another patron reportedly reached for something behind the register and that’s when the jihadist stopped his assault and fled.

After a five-mile car chase he exited his vehicle with the machete. That’s when officers shot him dead.

The attacker may have traveled to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates in 2012 CBS reported, citing unnamed federal law enforcement officials.

Columbus is a favorite dumping ground for Somali refugees.  Columbus is home to the second-largest Somali-American community in the U.S. after Minneapolis.  And how did all the Somalis get in Columbus?

As WND has reported in a series of articles, the main route into the United States for Somali nationals is through the refugee resettlement program. The ‘U.S government’ has since 1992 worked with the United Nations to permanently resettle more than 110,000 Somali refugees into dozens of U.S. cities, including Minneapolis, Columbus, San Diego, and smaller cities in Maine, Idaho, Washington, Georgia, Michigan, Colorado, Texas, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

More than 99 percent of Somali refugees are Sunni Muslims and the FBI has confirmed that at least 40 young Somali men have left their adopted homeland since 2007 to join the ranks of foreign terrorist organizations including al-Shabab in Somalia and ISIS in Syria.  Dozens more have been charged and convicted of providing material support to overseas terrorists.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich has been supportive of the refugee resettlements in his state. Like many GOP governors, he has questioned the quality of the vetting process for Syrian refugees, but nothing has been said about the Somali refugees who have been arriving in large numbers for years and struggling to assimilate. They continue to arrive in U.S. cities at a rate of 500 to 800 a month without so much as a word from the GOP governors.

Since 2002 the U.S. State Department has delivered 7,020 Somali refugees to Ohio, and 5,852 of them have been sent to Columbus, according to the federal refugee database.
