[ April 19, 2024 ]
Geller Report readers will recall our recent report about Mountain Ridge Middle School in West Virginia, which instructed students to write out the shahada, the Islamic profession of faith. Then when our report began getting notice, teachers started trying to cover their tracks, telling people to remove their posts about the matter.
Now the story gets even worse. Rich Penkoski, the courageous parent who took issue with this public school proselytizing for Islam, is being threatened by students who attend the school with his daughter (and who is behind them? Unidentified “adult friends”).
Do the police have any interest in this? Or would that be “islamofauxbic”?
Story continues below advertisement
He sent this message to me:
A student in the school threatened to get her adult friends to come to my home and kill me by stabbing me in the chest and ripping my organs out. They told my daughter “we are gonna get some people and kill your dad.”
This student, who is known to me but whom I cannot name because she is a minor, has given students our address and is encouraging them to come to my home over this whole thing.
Another student told my daughter that she and the first student and her adult friends are going to kill me and carve a satanic star in my chest and rip out my internal organs.
They then threatened to shoot my wife in the head, hang my 3-year-old and 1-year-old and kidnap my 14-year-old.
All this in school today because of the articles.
This is not a joke and needs to be investigated. I have contacted the school’s principal, Dr. Branch, and I trust that he will take this matter seriously and deal with it appropriately.

Mr Penkoski is an adult and has the right to defend himself with whatever means is necessary. Any hostile encroach on his premises after the death threat as Fred said ,full responce. But threatening his children , is insanely cowardly and deserves full investigation by law enforcement and prosecution to the highest possible level of the law.

They made a DEATH THREAT. Does the state have the new “law” that these people can be reported as DANGEROUS and have all of their weapons removed by the State? If the State has this new “law” have the State APPLY the law against these people who or making the death threats.

Glad you’re a member of the NRA, welcome, Mr. Rollo. However, a question arises from this post … Were you born in the USA or, perhaps, educated elsewhere? The reason that I ask, is due to your use of the term “whilst”, as opposed to “while”. You don’t spell “color” as “colour”, do you? I mean no offense, from this question, I’m simply curious.

You do realize that the muslum/muslum apologist Grover Norquist was, at one time, on the board of directors of the NRA?

Didn’t Norquist’s sister, Lorraine, marry Majed Tomeh. a co-founder of the Islamic Institute in Washington, D.C.? It’s been rumored for decades that Norquist, although married, is a flaming queer. But, that’s the moslem way, isn’t it? There is NO penalty for being “caught in the act”, if the boar hog is married to a sow (moslem female). When the NRA investigated him, he didn’t run again. Norquist was a big time moslem advisor to booshy. I often wonder if booshy isn’t a moslem. It’s interesting, that within a few weeks of the NRA’s investigation into Norquist’s moslem ties …. that he was suspended from all board duties.

This behavior is unacceptable. Not only should the individuals making these threats be charged and prosecuted. The teachers behind the indoctrination should be charged and prosecuted too. Anyone furthering the communication of the threats or the ability to carry them out should be investigated, charged and prosecuted them as well.
In the meantime… the father needs to ensure the family members (those capable of doing so) have proper situational awareness and an understanding of the urgency of threats made against them.
Anyone caught on the property without invitation and acting even remotely suspicious should be dealt with aggressively and immediately with the utmost prejudice.

Interesting! Why is Satanism involved? Did Satan’s followers feel uncomfortable with the result of his father’s courage? And if so, bothered by what? Quoting the shahada is to become a Muslim, and this, for Muslims, is not a good thing, is not it the “religion of peace”? Who
should not they be the Muslims? And if so (which is more logical), and if they are even young Muslims, why then did they quote the “satanic star” instead of anything else?
Hence I conclude that: to quote the shahada is to give the soul to the devil, and since this father was brave and denounced this cunning plan, the devil became furious and revealed himself, for his plan was discovered. Satanists know that Islam serves their master. Allah is Satan!

Aquire a ‘gilly’ suit. It shouldn`t take long and the bad elements in the neighborhood will be thinned out,or really scared to come out at night. They are cowards and prefer to attack in groups.

If they intend to hunt this man, I suggest he have a plan to hunt them. Obviously, the threats have to be taken seriously because Muslims take any affront against their ideology as blasphemy and worthy of the death of the infidel. Regardless of how the law proceeds, have a backup plan when they fail to do their job as they most likely will. When seconds count, the police are minutes away while true it is also defensive.

Let’s hope his “trust” in the school’s principal to “take this matter seriously and deal with it appropriately” is not sadly misplaced. But, I’m afraid it probably is. Sir, they ALREADY dropped the ball by trying to cover their tracks. You’ve given the school a chance to deal with it.
The school is not going to be able to “deal appropriately” with what may be credible threats of physical violence to you and your family.
Report this to the police as a murder threat. And, I never thought I’d be the one to say this, but I hope your home has a good alarm system. And a gun.

Dear Mr. Penkoski,
Go immediately to the FBI…forget the local “officials”, they will do nothing. And/or go to your West Virginia State Bureau of Investigations. File a formal complaint and ask for protection for your family.
Then hire an attorney to sue the school system for mental and emotional abuse of your daughter and your family. Take your child(ern) to a mental health professional to document her emotional health ….and that of your family.
This is the only way you can go to show them your are very serious.

If this threat is authentic Rich Penkoski has the right to file a report to the Sheriff’s office for investigation. It is illegal to make such threats and is a legal matter. The Sheriff has to investigate the complaint so start with that and let the chips fall where they may. It is of little help for people across the country to get all up in arms when they can do nothing in this case. If the Sheriff finds evidence then the people across the country have a great tool to raise the flag.

What is Dr. Branch’s home address, I am sure a lot of people would like to inquire about his/her/its course of action….. these moslems and the “adult” moslems should also be publicly as terrorists. If their kids are making death threats then the parents are TERRORISTS and must be punished and their kids are removed to foster care. they are child abusers.
