In Bloomington, Minnesota – Hennepin County – sharia is being enforced by police and mall security at the Mall of America. To UTT followers, this is not surprising.
This time, however, a Christian pastor was arrested and told he was “Not permitted to discuss religion in the Mall.”
Welcome to Minneapolistan.
Pastor Ramin Parsa
The pastor, Ramin Parsa, is a former muslim from an Iranian background who converted to Christianity. Parsa provided comments to Third Rail Talk.
See and hear the full interview here.
The following is a transcript of that interview:
ThirdRailTalk.com interviewed California based Pastor Ramin Parsa on August 27th and discovered that while visiting Minnesota last week for his three day visit, and congregation presentation earlier on Saturday, Pastor Parsa was invited by his host to visit the Mall of America, for an enjoyable stroll and coffee, and for his first time in one of Minnesota’s most renowned iconic attractions.
While at the Mall, Pastor Parsa struck up a mutually enjoyable conversation with a couple of young Somali women, who appeared to be delighted to visit with he and his local host pastor.
Hearing his Iranian accent, that they were intrigued. As a result, they asked him where he was from, and hearing that he was born and raised in Iran, and into the Muslim community there, they inquired as to whether he was a practicing Muslim. He replied, no, and indicated that he had converted to Christianity years ago and paid a dear price (torture, and even hard-core and harsh interrogations, and ministry harassment) for his commitment to the Christian church, and the teachings of Jesus Christ…all due to his Christian conversion, he further replied to the interested women.
The young Somali women wanted to know more, and asked him additional questions, and appeared to be enjoying the conversation.
One Somali woman however, who was initially listening to the exchange from a distance, approached the group conversation, objected loudly, and chastised Pastor Parsa, the other pastor, as well as the Somali women, and demanded of the women, that they “not listen to this man”, and directed Pastor Parsa harshly to leave the Somali women alone. Pastor simply suggested to the clearly distraught Somali woman, that the two women were simply asking questions respectfully, and asking for some answers from him, which he was pleased to provide.
Sharia-adherent Somali women in Minneapolis
In their own language, they began to fight verbally amongst themselves, until the hostile female Somali intruder to the conversation departed – temporarily that is.
Per their request, Pastor Parsa continued to share more of his interesting life story and to explain to them why he has left Islam and why he is now a Christian Pastor, and some cursory details relating to his ministry. The conversation and exchange continued to be mutually pleasant and was apparently pleasing for the two women, and well the two pastors, as well as the fourteen-year-old son of the Minnesota based pastor.
The obviously angry Somali woman who was nearby still, overheard more of the conversation and left the area to falsely report this gathering and discussion to the nearby Mall of America Security officer, as a threat, and as “harassment.” The two Somali women engaged in the conversation with Pastor Parsa and his Minnesota host, actually spoke up in defense of Pastor Parsa, and indicated clearly to the Mall officer, that “they were just talking”.
The MOA “security officer” ignored the plea of the two Somali women, in defense of the pastors, and then told the pastors that they were “not permitted to discuss religion in the Mall” and demanded that they stop, or they would be escorted out of the Mall immediately, or they “would be arrested for soliciting and Illegal Trespass” for ignoring HIS order to cease.
The three visitors to the Mall said their goodbye’s, thanked the ladies for the time spent, and left for a nearby coffee shop, where they ordered their beverages.
While they took part in their intended pleasant post presentation (scheduled Saturday afternoon church and congregation seminar) discussion over coffee, they took notice of the “security officer” continuing to stand outside of the Starbucks Coffee location. The Somali women were nowhere in sight.
As an aside, but an important footnote, because Pastor Parsa’s presentation at the church was widely publicized, there were repeated threats and implied threats, directed toward the church, and Pastor Parsa himself prior to the event that Saturday.
When they exited the café, they were met by the original “security officer”, and now, accompanied by two more so-called MOA “security officers”, who had obviously been called to the scene, in spite of the fact, that the two Pastors had already complied with the “security officers” request to “break it up”, and stop (in their words—“soliciting”), long after the original exchange between all parties had ended completely.
In short, whatever perceived infraction of the unwritten “MOA rules of conduct” by visitors or patrons of the MALL, which might have been troubling the “security officer” the entire situation was over by at least a half hour or longer, per an exit initiated by the Pastor(s) and the fourteen year-old young man, and son of the Minnesota pastor, having left the scene as instructed.
The “security officers” were simply laying in wait for the threesome to exit Starbucks café, and to continue their extra-legal assault upon this visiting guest to Minnesota, and Christian Pastor.
“Security” (for whom?) now demanded that Pastor Parsa leave the MOA “immediately” or be arrested. Naturally, he responded by asking a respectful question as to “Why now”? “What have I done now?
He inquired as to what he had done this time to warrant such treatment and referenced all of the above in his defense. By his own admission to me, he was stunned, and expressed his astonishment in his own low-key Christian pastor manner.
Please keep in mind that this soft-spoken young man, during his short life on earth, had already been “tortured”, “abused” and “harassed”, in a similar totalitarian and fascist fashion, in his home country of Iran, as well as in Turkey. This is an important fact to know about this good, decent, Christian man..
Frankly readers, I would not have done as well under the same circumstances. This is not the old Soviet Union—and KGB, Castro’s Cuba, or the Hugo Chavez controlled Venezuela either. This is still the United States of America, and we actually do have a Bill of Rights, even on “private property” like the Mall of America.
There is also a prickly little thing called “due process”, but I will get to that a bit later on in my commentary.
As a reward for his righteously questioning the—now—THREE “MOA “security officers”, clearly picking a fight with this visitor to Minnesota, they handcuffed Pastor Parsa behind his back, and hauled him of to, what I can only describe as “MOA Jail”, while passers-by, who were witnessing this outrage, and mostly children chanting and pointing at him in a humiliating fashion, and loudly exclaiming that “he is being arrested because he is a Christian”.
Again, This is not the old Soviet Union—and KGB, Castro’s Cuba, or the Hugo Chavez controlled Venezuela either. This is still the United States of America, and we actually do have a Bill of Rights, even on “private property” like the Mall of America.
He was literally, delivered to an interrogation room (much like per his experience in Turkey and Iran) in the sub-basement of the MOA—handcuffed to a steel chair—which was bolted to the floor—for the next two-plus hours of his life, and detained him for hours while he was harassed.
He was denied the water he requested until the end of the ordeal, when Bloomington MN PD was expected to arrive—denied his requested restroom break until the end, and Bloomington MN PD was expected to arrive—being badgered by officers, attempting to barter “water for a demanded photograph of him”, (which he refused)—denied a phone call—denied a requested attorney—denied a request for his “Miranda rights” to be read to him (This also happened when he requested his rights to be read to him by the Bloomington PD as well later)—continually denied him the right to know, per his repeated request, to know what he had actually done to violate any “law” or written MOA security policy, and for hours before they actually called the Bloomington MN Police Department personnel, for them to in turn, take him into custody again, for “booking and processing”.
For proper emphasis, he was taken to a room where MOA Security handcuffed him to a metal chair for over 2 hours. They repeatedly kept trying to take his picture as he kept refusing to allow his picture to be taken.
When he asked for water, they refused to give him water and tried to get him to agree to have his picture taken in exchange for water.
He asked to go to the bathroom, and even that was denied to him as well. He asked if he can use his phone to call his friends and get a lawyer, but MOA Security wouldn’t allow that either.
Finally the conceded and let him have some water. They tried to take a picture of him against his will and he covered his face.
If you think this is bad, please strap on your Minnesota citizen, and United States citizen seat-belt, and wait for it..
At some point a Bloomington Police Officer came to the Mall and took pastor Parsa, handcuffed him once again from behind, and placed Pastor Parsa into his BPD police cruiser.
He was then taken to the Bloomington Police Department, booked, given a citation—to appear “personally” back in front of a Hennepin County Judge Minnesota—sometime into the future, and released on a $78 bail.
According to pastor Parsa, the BPD officer never inquired as to what was the reason for the arrest in the first place (a copy of the complete report will be requested shortly).
The Mall of America has banned pastor Parsa for 6 months from its premises, including the hotels, and he is now awaiting a court date, and again, to appear personally in front of a Minnesota Court soon.
This also would suggest, that Pastor Parsa is due to return back to Minnesota, from his California Home (and Church), at his own time and expense, in order to have appear before a Minnesota Judge, and explain the inexplicable to an individual he has never met, and a set of circumstances, which Rod Serling, Stephen King, Tom Clancy, nor Alfred Hitchcock could conger up.
Pastor Parsa was charged with “Criminal Trespassing” trespassing as per Bloomington City Code Sections 12.07-12.12
Upon hearing this story we were shell shocked, embarrassed for our State of Minnesota and its good people here, and horrified!
Having verified every detail of this story—possible to verify without ALL MOA surveillance tapes (to be requested shortly—and per legal action) we went to the Mall of America immediately to film a segment about the detention of pastor Parsa.
Our production crew arrived at different times and we were likewise, threatened with arrest SEPARATELY in two different areas of the MOA, for simply knocking on the door of the “MOA security office” (supposedly a “restricted area” not marked as such—and per the directions provided by an on-sight Bloomington Minnesota plain clothes police officer—and another MOA employee), only to ask a few respectful questions for our “investigative report”, and for doing absolutely nothing else.
For setting up a camera tripod outside of Starbuck’s café, just to secure a few video images, of the “scene of the crime” as it were. Their “security officer” claim? “Per MOA rules, “You are not allowed to take photographs in the MOA.”
Item number 2, in particular, should come as a big surprise to every patron, shopper, and out-of-town visitor especially, to the Mall of America; armed with a cell phone—and cameras, and routinely taking photographs, and creating videos—and still pictures constantly throughout the entire Mall, and amusement park area, each and every day of the week—seven days per week—and each of the 365 days per year, when the Mall is open for business. ..I guess the rules—ALL OF THEIR RULES, only apply to a “special group of people” and not everyone these days in Minnesota.
Osama bin Laden told the world Al Qaeda does what it does because it is a command from Allah to impose sharia on the earth and establish a global Islamic state (caliphate). The Islamic State says the same thing as do all jihadis we have killed or captured on the battlefields of Afghanistan, Iraq, Europe, and the United States.
The most authoritative Islamic legal scholars all agree sharia must be imposed on all people of the earth, and that is why text books in U.S. Islamic schools teach 12 year olds the same thing.
Last week in Minneapolis at the “Super Eid” gathering at the U.S. Bank Stadium muslims openly said they intend to “colonize” Minnesota and make it an Islamic state under sharia.
They are apparently well along in this plan and the leaders in Minneapolis appear to be doing nothing about it.

I was in the Mall of America August 11, 2001 a month before 9/11. This was God allowing me to walk in the Mall of America before everything change. Tuesday September 11, 2018 will be the 17th Anniv of 9/11. I challenge anyone reading this whether Jewish, Muslim, Christian or other to study Ancient Israel and Americas 17 Year War Cycles… the parallels are eerie as are the nations involved…here we are 2000-3000 years later… History has a way of repeating itself. Pray for America and the World. And this Pastor and His Family.
Islam has no tolerance. It is Ok to lie to anyone if you are a muslim. Woman are property like cattle to be used, sold, as needed.
Any islam man, may kill any other non-muslim man, or rape any non-muslim women, of I forgot, most of the muslim men like little boys, it is ok to rape non-muslim little boys, even little muslim boys. As this is their satanistic, oh, I mean sharia rules of engagement.
Muslim and satanism, are one and the same.
I can’t put an exact number on all the civil liberty violations this pastor endured. How crazy is that? I started looking around the room for a firearm as if it were me being treated this way. I now realize why, It was me being treated this way and you and everyone reading this article. I hope everyone reading this article feels as threatened as I did reading it. Thank you for sharing and putting yourself to the hazard of trying to answers from these bozo’s.
This is completely shocking. Islam is one of the fifth columns that have come into this country for its destruction. The others are MS-13, the Chicoms and Russians (those are the ones I know, there may be others). These groups would not be her without the cooperation and blessing of Washington traitors who have sold this nation for personal gain.
There is nothing subtle about cultural jihad via lawfare. These people are aggressive and persistent. Be nice if they could all be deported.
I’d like to see them prove criminal intent.
Never happen. A good civil attorney will tear them apart.
ban all muslums sleeper cells, deport them to mecca now trump 1954 ike did so can you!
i keep posting but nothing shows up
ok i get it you luv muslims
Oh my I pray for our president and our country
Mary Tyler Moore is spinning in her grave – she loved Minneapolis!
Lawsuit!
You will own the Mall of America.
I was born and raised in Minnesota, and I cannot understand why any Minnesota resident would allow this to go on. This is why I no longer see Islamists as neighbors, I see them as soldiers, threats and worse. In any community they gather in large numbers they become a threat. They are a people full of hate; why would anyone want that in their town or city? Remember the Crossroads Mall incident? I certainly do because I grew up in St. Cloud, and used to bicycle to that mall as a kid. They should have arrested the loud-mouthed woman for “inciting riot”. God help us all.
All the Christian churches in the area should load up buses and bring in thousands upon thousands of Christians into the Mall of America taking pictures with their cell phones of each other as well as Mall security and shop and partake in different restaurants. Invite the mayor invite the county sheriff to come along and buy him a soda and congratulate him on how well his Mall security is actually working. Then after that express your displeasure on the Discrimination going on and your first amendment rights are being infringed upon. And of course bring a copy of that Bill of Rights with you with the Amendments on it!
You’re right Darrell!May God flood the mall with awesome good happy hearted people who love Jesus and one another!Breakthrough!Coming!May all peoples have the eyes of their understanding enlightened!May the JOY of Jesus FLOOD the mall!Laughter,Song and Dance!May we all learn to LOVE like Yahweh!
From this point forth, the Mall of America will henceforth dry up and blow away in the wind, as God’s judgment against a reprobate business and reprobate law enforcement personnel. To all shoppers at the MoA, vacate the premises or you will be included in this judgment!
Need to start Suing the shit out of these fools, once you start taking some federal Reserve Notes from them they may start having a change of attitude. Unfortunately, until we do something, nothing will change. Come down to Texas, hell all those California liberals are. We wont put up with that shit here.
Pastor Parsa would easily win a lawsuit against the Mall of America.
He should pursue that vigorously, and donate the several million dollars
to his ministry.
So, about 600 years after the birth of Christianity, after Jesus Christ became a human being, taught the world about love, showed the world who God is, and most importantly paid the debt owed for the sins of every human being on the cross, Muhammad receives a revelation from “The Angel Gabriel” saying most of the Holy Bible is corrupt. He tells Muhammad Jesus was not the son of God, but just a prophet. He says Jesus did not die on the cross, but his death was faked. He says that instead of our sins being paid for by the death of Jesus Christ, we have to earn our salvation by good works, and we won’t know if we have done enough until Allah weighs our good deeds against our evil ones.
Islam is a lie. Islam is a forgery. Islam is death.
Jesus Christ said Satan was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
The revelation Muhammad received was not from the Angel Gabriel, but from Satan himself.
God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
There is only one truth and that is Jesus Christ. All of the other religions of the world except Christianity echo the same theme. You must do more good than evil to improve your outcome in this world and the next. Only Christianity says its impossible for you to earn forgiveness of your sins. God had to do it for us.
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Don’t believe the lies of Islam, of atheism, or any other belief system. Believe in Jesus Christ!
A member of my church and fellow minister of God shared this article with me. I read it in shock and awe. Lord Jesus help us all. I pray for the lost. Let the scales fall off of their eyes and may their hearts of stone be turned to flesh. May the holy spirit breathe on them and draw them to redemption through Your blood. I also pray for this pastor and all like him. Give your angels charge over them. Give them wisdom, discernment, boldness, and fill them with your spirit. I pray that the church will arise from her sleeping state and be the bride that she is called to be. Let the whole earth be filled with Your glory. In Your name I pray. Amen.
AIM FOR THE TOP OF THE GARBAGE BAG….
Minnesota PD are not human. They are a bunch of spineless animals walking on two legs
In the first place; I will pray for Reverend Parsa and for all the deceived believers in Minnesota; for their minds and souls are corrupted by their insidious belief system I call neither a religion or a race. I simply refer to it as I Support Laws Against Muslims (islam). My rationale is that they believe they have a right and believe they can dominate me into submission, therefore they are the reason for Understanding The Threat.
Next: all Minnesotans and Americans should boycott any attendance to the MOA. There aren’t enough believers to keep the mall afloat financially. Let it doom.
Third: Mr Parsa may be inclined to “forgive” the mall security officers and the belligerent eavesdropper-fine, BUT
Fourth: Mr Parsa should sue the mall security, sue the MOA, and sue the coffee vendor where the invasion of privacy, and assault against religious freedom took place in the “home of the free”.
Five: I am sure Dinesh D’Souza could use this fine example on assault on religious freedom as a premise for a response to avail all Americans to demonstrate that our freedoms in this country will not be suppressed regardless if you are a governor, Attorney General, or a waiter.
Next: Spread the word; the believers have assaulted America, have infiltrated and refuse to assimilate, an intend to dominate the USA>
New News: It aint gonna happen.
Almost forgot: Sue the police department for it’s corrupt stupidity and arrest to Mr Parsa because the premise for his “violation” was a comical farce.
“We aint gonna take it-never did and never will”……

Shhhh, we’re sleeping!
Your right! Time to wake up
Who was doing the harassment again? This pastor? Or the disgruntled & uninvited rabid Muslim woman? The MOA security? Or the local PD?
Didn’t America go to war against such Muslim terrorism with George Bush Senior & George Dubya etc etc because it was a threat to our freedoms & lifestyle? Didn’t America’s young men die in those wars? We’re injured never to recover & families suffer these great losses all to prevent all this?
So what the heck is going on? How did they get in let alone rob us of our freedoms that were fought to retain?
This is disgusting!
The govt has a lot to answer for.
So do these cowardly MOA & local PD officers. Where was the outrage of Americans looking on?
COWARDS It’s YOU next coz you stayed silent.
This is infringing on his right of free speech!!!
If you Christians don’t start fighting back you will soon find yourselves on your knees praying to Allah five times a day. Muslime have made it clear that they consider this war, SO GIVE THEM THE WAR THEY WANT, AND MAKE IT CLEAR TO THEM THE REASONS YOU ARE HANGING THEM WHILE THEIR FAMILIES WATCH. It is called, “Turn around is fair play” !!!
THE LORD JESUS fully intends to take down ALL DEVIL WORSHIPPERS,like the ones in minn.any state with them will be taken down to,DESTRUCTION IS COMING,yet the people fail to take action to stop it,NOW you’ll wished you had..MASS DEATH IS COMING,why are the people OK with that???
OPINION:
18 U.S. Code – 242: I.e., Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law, reads in relevant part as follows: Whoever under color of any law, statute, ordnance, regulation or custom, willfully subjects any person in ANY State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any Rights, Privileges, or Immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or Laws of the United States ,,,,,shall be fined under this Title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if any bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon ….. shall be imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.
Furthermore, in addition to the relentless nature of 1st Amendment Bill-of- Rights violations Pastor Ramin Parsa was physically forced to endure throughout his discriminatory victimization — under color of. U.S. law exercised on behalf of sharia adherence to Islam with whom the country is clearly at war*, and in the presence of far more than simply the “two” requisite witnesses Article III, section 3 of the Constitution requires for any treason conviction, Pastor Parsa’s rights under the 8th Amendment of the Bill-of-Rights were also blatantly ignored when handcuffs were used to immobilize his ability to defend himself if need be while under the control first of misfits acting on behalf of the Mall of America’s corporate entity as “security guards”, and subsequently by members of the Bloomington, Minnesota PD when said ongoing grotesque fascistic pretense of enforcing the law continued in and/or near a Starbucks establishment.
With respect to handcuffs being identified as a dangerous weapon, given UTT’s foregoing detailed comprehensive narrative, that’s precisely how I would have characterized them had I been required to prepare a statement of fact (referred to by the urban PD I was a member of for 21-years as a 252) for submission to a U.S. Attorney at court the next morning; what would happen following his analysis of the elements involved (which is the purpose of any so-called crime report) was his business, and that of the court. I.e., consider, for example a rape & murder involving the use of a pair of handcuffs for the purpose of disabling and restraining the victim; that’s exactly what effectively happened to Pastor Ramin Parsa who had done NOTHING wrong in the first place and, thus, should never have been accosted by said gaggle of misfits.
Given the disappearance of the U.S. Attorney General, the White House liaison for the Department of Justice (with the approval of the president) should “walk” the entire Pastor Ramin Parsa matter through to an adjudicated conclusion with an eye on federal indictments of both Mall of America and Bloomington PD participants.

@Donald Kline,
Very interesting stuff. Now, if only we had an impartial, non-partisan, non-corrupted US Attorney General, or perhaps even an honest US Attorney in Minnesota, someone might prosecute this crime. Suggest readers direct your concerns to US Atty Erica MacDonald, 300 S 4th St #600, Minneapolis, MN 55415, Phone: (612) 253-0945.
However, I’m sure that even if Ms. MacDonald had the inclination to investigate, Session’s would slap her wrists to make sure her office didn’t. It’s just THAT bad in the US Federal government, even with a US President apparently sympathetic to the US Constitution and cause of freedom.
Of course, the Pastor and his supporters can certainly fight the funded Goliath of Minnesota and US government, spend $millions and perhaps seven years trying to plead their case, only to lose in the court of a sympathetic Marxist, anti-Christian judge. It’s now “pay to play” justice in Amerika, and you’d better have the big bucks to come to the table, because it’s clear no one in government will defend a Christian’s civil rights against unlawful government actions. That’s the huge difference between today, and say, 50 years ago. If this occurred to a Christian Pastor 50 years ago, there’d be someone at some level of government who would have stepped in to protect his Constitutional rights. The mall, of course, would have been boycotted, but even if not, government authority and dollars would have stepped in. Today, as a citizen, you’re on your own. You’re rights are CERTAINLY NOT guaranteed by the US Constitution, but only by effective “lawfare”.
Had this happened to me or mine, or happened in Missouri or the Conservative south, there would have been dead Mall cops lying around as they attempted to kidnap me, deny me my Constitutional right of speech and assembly and persecuted me for answering questions about my faith in AMERICA! Why are people in Minnesota even putting up with this crap? Thwy should BURN the whole muzzie mall down and purge all muzzie from the state!
The leaders of Minneapolis are doing nothing about it? Au contraire.
They are leading the invasion conspiracy. Follow the money. They are opening the door to the invaders for power and money.
Traitors, all.
Why doesn’t america understand? Muslims will insidiously take over! I am on the fringes of Islam and know their ways. The majority are ok, but a good chunk, say a fifth, are into bringing Islam into the west. They know the social norms, the legal systems , how to work around things and use (abuse) the system appropriately. They do not allow Christians any rights inside their countries and wish to have ever increasing control here. WAKE UP, America!!!
