If Raymond Cecil Kastner were not a convert to Islam, we would be getting “Islamophobia” discussions and feature stories on all the establishment media news outlets these days. But this story doesn’t fit the narrative, and so will receive scant attention.
“Deadly stabbing at Killeen mosque leads to murder indictment,” by Emily Hilley-Sierzchula, Killeen Daily Herald, February 9, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A deadly stabbing at a Killeen mosque in November led to a murder indictment earlier this week.
On Wednesday, a Bell County grand jury indicted Raymond Cecil Kastner, 49, on a first-degree felony charge of murder. He is accused of fatally stabbing 69-year-old Muhammad Idrees Kahn on Nov. 12, 2022, at the Islamic Community of Greater Killeen. Kahn, an Army veteran, was an emergency physician.
Kastner was being held in the Bell County Jail on Thursday in lieu of a bond of $1 million.
According to a prior news release from the Killeen Police Department, Kahn and Kastner were in a “business relationship” and both men attended the mosque.
The two men were inside the mosque when Kastner allegedly stabbed Kahn with a knife, police said. Kahn was pronounced dead at 1:37 p.m. at the scene.
Multiple witnesses said they saw a “long-haired man” repeatedly stab Khan, and another witness said they had seen the “long-haired man” in the area several times recently, according to an arrest affidavit.
Police detained Kastner near the mosque. After waiving his rights, he allegedly told officers that he “snapped” and stabbed Khan “one or two times,” according to the affidavit….

Were the witnesses to the stabbing mozlum? A “long-haired man” might be cover for one of their own, if they were. However, if non mozlums were the obserers, then that description would fit. They had seen him before, but didn’t say if he was mozlum….only that they had seen him and he has long hair. Nasty looking, too, imo.
Kileen once was a small quite town, and it’s difficult to imagine it having a mozlum barracks and a “center.”
I recall many years ago, the city, the state and the country, were shocked to hear of the mass murders there that took place in a restaurant.
mozlum on mozlum murder….not as bad as mozlum on innocent person murder. Perhaps the doctor believed this guy didn’t look converted enough and wanted some sxtortion money.

According to the feature article:
“After waiving his rights, he allegedly told officers that he “snapped” and stabbed Khan “one or two times,”
So, his attorney is going to argue that he was “insane” at the exact moment of the stabbing, but is “fine” now.

If I recall correctly, that’s known as an affirmative defense and the defense has to prove their case as opposed to the usual way of the prosecution proving he’s guilty.
With an affirmative defense, the defendant must prove he was justified in committing the murder.

Thank you for your reply, somehistory.

I wonder if we will hear CAIR trying to find an “Islamophobia” angle on this one?

The message about peaceful religion does not seem to have got through
OLD GUY says
Well Islam does seem to draw the criminal and mental disturbed individuals to its mosques and beliefs. It appears that both of these groups tend to be violent towards anyone they get cross wise with including fellow islamic followers.
Stop the immigration invasion of these hateful islamic followers around the world.

Hello all !!! I rushed there soon as I heard and helped clean up the blood afterwards !!! Raymond was a convert and was a tenant who was evicted , he stayed at the mosque till he can get back in his feet. He blamed everyone else but himself for his hardships and acted in such a heinous way , that’s exactly what happened
