Muslim “Hero” Who Was Nice to Robber Not Such a Hero After All
By Debbie Schlussel
Remember the story, earlier this week, hailing Muslim New York convenience store and deli owner Mohammad Sohail for being so nice to a robber, after foiling the robbery–giving him money and food and getting him to inquire about converting to Islam?
With CAIR and the rest of Islamic America overhyping this story, how could you miss it?
But, in fact, Mr. Sohail is not the “hero” the media and Muslim propaganda pimps made him out to be.
Here’s the follow-up story that strangely isn’t getting quite the attention the “hero” story got. You know–wouldn’t want to burst the fake balloon of a Muslim-American hero.
Authorities had warned Shirley deli owner Mohammad Sohail about his alleged illegal sale of drug paraphernalia several times before raiding his store Tuesday, officials said in a news conference Thursday.
Sohail is among the owners of seven Huntington and Brookhaven shop owners who face civil penalties for allegedly selling illegal pipes, bongs and hookahs. The raid on Sohail’s business came at the end of a day when national media reports hailed the deli owner for showing mercy on a would-be robber, an act captured in a surveillance video.
Sohail is due in court later this month and faces a penalty of up to $30,000, Brookhaven Supervisor Mark Lesko said.
While the sale of pipes and bongs is legal, it becomes illegal when the store owner knowingly sells the items for the use of drugs, officials said. Undercover investigators bought items from Sohail, and the other store owners, after making clear that they would use them for drug use, said Lesko and Suffolk District Attorney Thomas Spota.
“Maybe that was a nice thing to do at the time,” said Legis. Kate Browning (WF-Shirley), who represents the area, referring to Sohail giving $40 and a loaf of bread to the would-be robber. “But I know who he is, I know what he was doing. No sympathy for him.”
When asked late Wednesday night at his store to comment on the charges, Sohail said, “I threw everything in the garbage. I don’t want it anymore.”
Sure he did. Alhamdillullah [Praise allah] for this “hero” of the “Religion of Peace” who sells drug paraphernalia.
Kudos to Kate Browning for speaking out about this guy. She says that the only reason this “Muslim hero” was nice to the robber and didn’t press charges was that he knew that the cops would come to his store and find the illicit merchandise that he was still selling after being raided and warned.
If I were her, I’d get prepared for the Muslims and lefties who will be gunning for her at the next election.
Oh, wait, they’d never “gun” for anyone. After all, it’s the “Religion of Peace.”
Far left blog The Daily Kos called Mohammad, “An American We Can All Learn From.” Uh-huh. Learn from him how? By selling bongs to the infidel Americans?
Like I said, it’s funny how all of the Mainstream Media who were hyping Mohammad’s “heroism” are now strangely silent on his drug bust.
Ditto for the CAIR e-mails. Bet they also remain silent on this latest development in the Sohail Mohammad story.
The lesson here: whenever you hear one of these much-hyped mainstream media “Muslim hero” stories, know there’s always a back story–the real story–that’s not quite so heroic.
Oh, yeah. It was real sickening how the media (even Fox News) wet their pants over this guy trying to portray the “good side” of muzlumz in America and somehow trying to tie what this guy did to the “true meaning” of islam….in particular, how it’s such a “peace-loving” religion. The NY Post even ran an article about what the qu’ ran says about charity. The whole thing is sickening.
In reality, this guy is a criminal. What’s more, he exemplifies what most muzlums do when they come to America: scam the system, and engage in crimes like fraud and theft. This guy is not the exception…rather, he is the rule in the muzlum world.
Naturally, the same LIBERALS who ran with the “charity” story are no where to be found about how this criminal runs his business.
