Would-Be Islamic Terrorist Goes to Shoot Up Christian Church in Texas, is Talked Down by Pastor

A Texas pastor narrowly avoided a mass shooting at the hands of an Islamist terrorist last weekend when he was able to persuade the would-be killer not to start shooting parishioners during last Sunday’s services.

This was a close call as the Muslim with murder on his mind stormed into the church…

A pastor in East Texas calmed down an armed Islamic man who had entered his church, allegedly with the intent to kill Christians. Police later arrested the armed man without incident.

Corinth Missionary Baptist Church pastor, Rev. John D. Johnson III, was confronted Sunday morning by an armed Islamic man who told him God had authorized him to take lives, according to the Tyler Morning Telegraph. Johnson used his training from earlier in his life to defuse the situation and get his parishioners to safety.

Rasheed Abdul Aziz, a resident of Jacksonville, Texas, approached the church on Sunday wearing camouflaged pants, a helmet, combat boots, a black T-shirt, and a tactical vest. A canteen hung from the 782 gear.

…Smith County Sheriffs Deputies found Aziz later on Sunday. Smith County is located just north of Cherokee County, where the church is located. He still wore the same clothes and carried the pistol in a shoulder holster.

A background check by law enforcement revealed Aziz to be a felon, previously convicted for marijuana possession and aggravated robbery. The deputies arrested him for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
