Man Enters Church With Gun Saying He Will ‘Slay The Infidels’ – Then The Pastor Steps In
One Texas pastor is being commended by locals after confronting an armed intruder walked into his church Sunday afternoon and promised to kill all non-Muslims.

“Every hair on my neck just stood up,” recalled John Johnson III, pastor of Corinth Missionary Baptist Church in Bullard.
The man, dressed in military and tactical attire and carrying a pistol in his waistband, initially asked a deacon to see the pastor for prayer. When he entered the conference room Johnson and his son were in, however, his intentions were immediately clear.
“It was almost like you could just feel the presence of just negative energy,” Johnson said.
The pastor later told local reporters that the man, later identified as Rasheed Abdul Aziz, told him that “people are going to die today.”
Alone with Aziz, Johnson – who has a background in law enforcement, crisis prevention and troubled youth outreach – was able to de-escalate the situation and pray with his captor.
When he felt it was safe to do so, Johnson addressed the fact that several young children and other churchgoers were still in the building following the morning service. He reportedly told the armed man that he needed to check on the children.
“I mouthed to them, ‘This man has a weapon, I need you guys to go,’” he explained.
Johnson followed everyone else out of the church. When a deacon returned the next day, he found a note scrawled on an envelope and left under the front door. Apparently authored by Aziz, the message read:
My name is Rasheed Abdul Aziz. You helped me at a time of need. This house is blessed by God & all faiths Muslim, Jew & the Christian shall all gather here in Peace & Justice for God as a whole for the betterment of mankind as a whole.
The sentiment, Johnson noted, was “in stark contradiction to what he did in deed and statement,” warning fellow small-town pastors not to “get caught thinking that this only happens in other places.”
Aziz was tracked down and arrested by police Sunday afternoon in nearby Smith County. Facing a felony firearm possession charge in that county, Cherokee County prosecutors are expected to charge him with additional counts related to the church incident.

Sorry, Charlie. I have to call bs on this one.
More and more of the same old msm propaganda.
Pastors, Deacons, and others need to arm their selves before going to church until we invite God back into America again, incidents like the one mentioned in this article will only get worse.
This Pastor got lucky.
The next Pastor may get dead.
Muslim’s are serious about killing Christians.
Let’s bury Muslims acting out in America.
Not bury Christians.
If someone is going to their long and permanent home in the graveyard let it be the killer and head chopping Muslims.
Not Christian Americans.
If Obama had a son…BHO bringing 300,000 of these idiots here each year.
