Norfolk’s Soros-Backed DA Blames GOP’s ‘Gun Absolutism’ for Old Dominion Shooting
“America is a product of English Christian culture. NOT Islamic culture. NOT progressive culture. If we don’t cease to import islam, the West falls.”
After two murdering Mohameds carried out terrorist attacks on Americans Thursday afternoon, Ramin Fatehi, Norfolk, Virginia’s Soros-backed, Iranian-American Commonwealth Attorney, held a news conference to address the shooting at Old Dominion University. In his surreal remarks, rather than condemning the Islamic terrorist attacks that have increasingly targeted U.S. citizens in recent years, Fatehi blamed the GOP’s “cult of gun absolutism.”
Never mind that the suspect, Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, was convicted in 2017 of providing material support to ISIS, reportedly dreamed of launching an attack like the 2009 Fort Hood massacre, and shouted “Allahu Akbar!” when he opened fire, Fatehi blamed Republicans.
He told reporters, “This is not an ODU problem. This is a national sickness. We live in a country where people care more about guns than they do about six-year-old children.
“Until there is the political will to break the spell of the cult of gun absolutism,” he claimed, “you will see more incidents like this.
Fatehi went further, urging Americans to “look at our lawmakers who don’t have the courage to implement sensible gun control measures” and at “a Supreme Court that enables them.”

Fatehi’s was simply repeating progressive talking points — a reflexive reaction rather than a serious engagement with the facts of the case. He knows as well as anyone that criminals will find ways to obtain firearms regardless of whether the U.S. has a Second Amendment.
More importantly, his outrage at Republicans misses the larger issue. Islamist terrorism has become an increasingly familiar reality in the U.S., a reality that deserves serious scrutiny.
Consider Jalloh himself. A naturalized citizen originally from Sierra Leone, he had already been convicted of providing material support to a terrorist organization. Yet when he was released from prison at the end of 2024, he was allowed to remain in the country.
That raises obvious questions. Why should someone convicted of aiding a terrorist group be allowed to stay in the U.S. after serving his sentence? And why are policymakers reluctant to confront the ideological motivations behind attacks like this one?
In a recent post on X, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) sparked controversy with a blunt assessment about Muslim immigration into the U.S.: “Muslims don’t belong in American society!”
Ogles doubled down on that sentiment in a second post. He noted, “America is a product of English Christian culture. NOT Islamic culture. NOT progressive culture. If we don’t cease to import islam, the West falls.”
He attached a clip from a previous speech on the subject:
The importation of Islam into this country undermines our communities, our cities, our nation. Christianity is the answer always. Let me be clear: America is and must always be a Christian nation.
That isn’t just the opinion of a Tennessean. It’s the conviction of nearly every key figure in our founding, even those who didn’t have a close personal relationship with Christ.
…
America is a Christian country.
Rather than taking offense over his bluntness, perhaps it’s time to admit that the congressman has a point.
America is a product of English Christian culture. NOT Islamic culture. NOT progressive culture.

The U.S. has long been shaped by a distinct cultural inheritance rooted in Western and Christian traditions. Throughout American history, immigrants have been welcomed — but they were also expected to assimilate into the broader civic culture that defines the nation.
No one is asking immigrants to abandon their faith. But those who choose to live in the U.S. should be aware that respect for our laws, traditions, and freedoms is not optional. Assimilation has always been the foundation of successful immigration policy.
If Americans want to prevent tragedies like the one at Old Dominion University, they must be willing to have an honest conversation — not about the Second Amendment, but about whether Islamist ideology is compatible with Western culture. If Muslims are unwilling to adapt to American society, they don’t belong here.
Lawmakers keep calling for an Islam ban. We must keep demanding it
Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to condemn Rep Andy Ogles for saying that "Muslims don't belong in American society!"
Good. We need Muslim mass deportations

Another foreign anchor baby no doubt, destroying America. So what else is new?
How odd that another one of “Stinky” Soros’ pawns looks demon possessed, and speaks idiocy.
Sure it’s definitely not the Muslim dude who previously pledged himself to ISIS; its GOP gun culture. Because this guy really looks like he was a life long Republican voter.
Mr. Fatehi is what Lenin would call a useful idiot. He makes bold, yet utterly inaccurate, statements about incidents that are still shrouded in the fog of war. As a DA, he should STFU and ensure that justice is upheld, not run up to the nearest microphone and ride his hobbyhorse.
I might also take issue with Rep. Ogles‘s statement that “America is a product of English Christian culture.” I would say that our nation is founded on Judeo-Christian values. I do agree with his assessment on islam, however. Utterly incompatible.
Well, he’s right on that one. It is specifically the English part of the Enlightenment, founded in a Protestant (in the broadest terms) Christianity, that gave us our founding documents and the principles therein. French Enlightenment would have had different (and worse) results. And I doubt a German Christianity would have constructed the government the Founders did. The “English” is also important because it gave us a distinctly non-Roman Christianity – one not founded in subjugation to the will of the Pope. (That is, one willing to rebel and determine their own relationship to the Almighty.)
More specifically, the Anglican Communion and the Scottish Reformed movement had their indelible marks on our early culture. It’s unfortunate that the modern Episcopal churches, United Methodists, and Presbyterian Church (USA) have strayed so far from their foundations. Thankfully we have more faithful groups (certain Anglicans, Global Methodist, and Presbyterian Church in America) to carry the faith.

Your redneck correspondent here.
Grew up in rural Southwest. Every household was armed. Everyone over about the age of ten was proficient.
Crime rate? More or less zero. The idea of a ” home invasion”? Unthinkable.
Now, I have to admit that if someone drove into a church hallway, it would be chaos. No one would be armed, Why?
Undoubtedly a lot of vehicles in the parking lot would have firearms. Almost all unloaded. Give folks 15 minutes or so, and a medium scale invasion could be repelled.
In Beyond This Horizon, Robert A. Heinlein wrote, “An armed society is a polite society … manners are good when one realizes he may have to back up his acts with his life.” The context isn’t the same as here and now but that doesn’t make the statement less true.
.
They are exactly the same
So, didn’t this guy shoot an ROTC instructor (a uniformed officer) while he was instructing an ROTC class? That sounds like an act of terrorism, if not an act of war.
If Mohamed Bailor Jalloh was convicted in 2017 of providing material support to ISIS, wasn’t he a prohibited person via-s-vis firearms possession? The GOP does not generally call for prohibited possessors being allowed to possess or use firearms.
Considering what he did, it’s unlikely he cared.
.
One of the “sensible gun control laws” enacted by the Democrats is the prohibition of gun possession by persons convicted of felonies. So they get their wish, and here we are: a convicted felon with a firearm attacking people. This is not a rarity, an anomaly, It is a predictable event— a person with court-certified violent tendencies using a firearm to violently attack people. How many times do you read articles about “street” shootings (that includes ones inside nightclubs, bars, houses) where the shooter, when known, is identified along with his criminal convictions.
But the mantra is to want to further disarm the law abiding citizen. Nothing would make the Islamic invader happier than to be able to attack their sworn enemies without fear of them effectively fighting back. Cold Dead Hands.
WORST BALD GUY HAIR EVER 😁😅😁

Needs a sailor hat and a corncob pipe.
“Arf, arf, arf, arf!”
We live in a country where people care more about guns than they do about six-year-old children.
No, you abhorrent piece of post-defecation gutter clogging discharge, we care about guns BECAUSE we love our six-year-old children. We love all of our children, so we want to protect them from un-American stains like you and from evil people like muhamedans who want to kill them. Maybe put your effort into putting bad guys in prison so they can’t illegally obtain guns, instead.
“Until there is the political will to break the spell of the cult of gun absolutism,” he claimed, “you will see more incidents like this.[“]
That sounds like an extortion threat to me.
“a Supreme Court that enables them.”
How about the CONSTITUTION that enables them, you oxygen-wasting piece of pre-compost.
Yet when he was released from prison at the end of 2024
Specifically December of 2024. Hmmm, what happened in early November of 2024? And what followed that thing? I do wonder if Jalloh’s name was on a list somewhere with an auto-pen signature at the bottom. No one has yet said.
You’re defaming pieces of post-defecation gutter clogging discharge… 🙂
Am I the only one who marvels at the irony of this bozo accusing gun owners being members of a cult???
His lack of self-awareness is truly breathtaking.
He gets paid by “Stinky” Soros & Sons to drool excrement.
That raises obvious questions.
Like, “How did this man obtain a firearm, despite all those ‘common sense’ laws out there that are intended to stop him?”
Exactly. No way this guy obtained the firearm lawfully. Plus ODU is a ‘gun free zone’ and he brazenly ignored that prohibition, then he committed murder, which not for nothing, has long been prohibited by law. Apparently this DA doesn’t yet understand that criminals don’t follow the laws of society.
The answer is simple. Life lockup. This guy was either loony and needed to be in a mental institution or he was sane but provided material support what he believed to be ISIS operative aka material support of terrorism to within the USA. Either answer should lead to lifetime confinement away from the general public.
And the follow-up question: “How would more laws that you don’t enforce have stopped this incident?”
Are you saying the DA is a real “DA”? Yeah, that.
.
Nope, a DA would be an improvement on that hairdo.
A gift from Eric “Fast & Furious” Holder.
Simple. He bought the gun off the street illegally. A gun that was apparently stolen the previous year from a person who had legally purchased the firearm,
The problem with gun laws (and criminal law in general) is that only law abiding citizens obey the law. Criminals not so much. That’s why they are criminals.
Oh, I finally found that other Jalloh!
It’s the case in northern Virginia of the woman who was fatally stabbed after she (and her attacker) got off a bus. From the Fairfax Times article:
I had posted a couple of times about “I swore there was another Jalloh recently…”. I was right! And it’s even in Virginia!
“Fatehi’s was simply repeating progressive talking points — a reflexive reaction rather than a serious engagement with the facts of the case. He knows as well as anyone that criminals will find ways to obtain firearms regardless of whether the U.S. has a Second Amendment.”
I think you’re letting him off the hook. I further think he’s an Islamist bent on disarming kāfir in order to further plans for a North American caliphate. He’s only posing as an ignorant liberal Dem. (And they’re only posing that they don’t understand the issue, because they’re intent on building their own sort of “caliphate” here in the US.)
It seems his name origin is Arabic.
It is a violation of current gun laws to murder people so I’m sure if we just make it harder from non-murderers to get guns that will fix everything.
Naturalized citizenship should have been pulled and he deported
So long as his naturalization was valid, it can’t be pulled. Nothing he has done after a valid naturalization can affect it.
Now if it turns out that he was never validly naturalized in the first place, that would be very different. But there’s nothing in any news report to indicate that.
from USCIS.gov
A person is subject to revocation of naturalization if the person becomes a member of, or affiliated with, the Communist party, other totalitarian party, or terrorist organization
That is not true, no matter what any government web site says. The constitution and the Supreme Court don’t allow it. The only grounds for “revoking” naturalization is to prove that it was never valid in the first place, and therefore doesn’t need to be revoked.
If a citizen joins an anti-American organization within a short time of naturalization, the government may try to use that as proof that they were already aligned with that organization and its aims before the naturalization, and since they were specifically asked about such opinions and denied them under oath, and would have been denied naturalization if they had admitted having such opinions, the naturalization was invalid . But if they claim they only came to those opinions after the naturalization, the government would have to prove otherwise.
And here we go……
Turns out the dude who sold the gun to Jalloh? One Kenya Chapman. Apparently he was caught being a straw purchaser previously, one of which guns was used in a MURDER, just had to write a letter of apology to the DOJ. Can you guess who was nominally in charge of DOJ and stuff like that when this happened? Hint: it happened in 2021.
Answer to your question:
NO ONE!
Chapman Criminal Complaint
Affidavit in Support of Criminal Complaint and Arrest Warrant
Three straw purchases in April, June, and August 2021 where the Biden DoJ simply issued him a “Straw purchaser warning letter” and allowed him to write the DoJ a letter of apology. And “Engaging in business of dealing firearms without a license” in March 2026 for stealing a weapon the year before and then subsequently selling it to Jalloh the week of the ODU shooting offense.
And that airport director was killed in his home by ATF for selling guns without a license…
The shooter was already a convicted felon, so it was against the law for him to have a gun,..what law does this clown want that he feels would have prevented a terrorist from getting one?
None of my firearms every went out by themselves and killed anyone
Another lame story about a lame leftist who thinks guns for terrorists are OK, but not OK for people defending themselves from said terrorists. The US needs to get serious about these idiots. No media coverage is one step to shutting them up.
The DA needs to be “corrected”. See the movie “The Shining” for more information.
What a pathetic POS.
Because he’s a US citizen, so this is his country as much as it is anyone else’s, and he has a fundamental right to remain here. Deporting him would violate the constitution.
The founders explicitly rejected that view. They deliberately established the USA as a republic that has no established religion, and is therefore no more Christian than it is Moslem. They signed a treaty with Morocco that said exactly that. And Washington wrote to the Jewish congregation in Providence (which had been Tory in the revolution) that Jews were to be equal partners in the new republic, which had no particular religion.
Ogles isn’t wrong about the threat, but he’s wrong about what he thinks can be done about it.
“no more Christian than it is Moslem.”?
What crap.
That is the fundamental basis on which the USA exists. If you want to live in a Christian country go move to one. The US constitution will NOT ALLOW you to establish a Christian nation here, any more than it will allow you to ban guns.
It’s not about courage, it’s about rights.
Even if we were to concede this moron’s premise that “sensible gun control measures” could save lives — which they couldn’t — it remains the case that banning Islam would save more lives than banning guns. And yet we can’t ban Islam, because the constitution says so. And for the same reason we can’t ban guns. If you think saving lives is more important than adhering to the constitution, and justifies unconstitutional measures, then let’s start with banning Islam.
We could also save a lot of lives, and prevent a lot of crime, by ignoring the fourth, fifth, sixth, and eighth amendments. If the police could search anyone they suspected of anything, and throw people in prison without a fair trial, crime would plummet and many lives would be saved. But we can’t do that. Our civil liberties are more important than anyone’s life. Including the right to keep and bear arms, even if infringing it could save lives, which it can’t.
Ogles is wrong about deporting Moslems, but he’s not wrong that we shouldn’t be importing more. The constitution doesn’t require us to admit more Moslems. So long as someone has not yet immigrated it would be constitutional to deny them a visa because of their religion, or race, or anything else we don’t like.
Why does this guy HATE us and our Constitution? Gun absolutism? It’s called the Second Amendment.
