BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (WCCO) — Two people were stabbed in a seemingly random attack at a Twin Cities library.
After the incident Wednesday night at the Oxboro Library in Bloomington, 35-year-old Samira Abdalla Salim was arrested.
Salim was no stranger to the Oxboro Library. She had a reputation for handing out the Koran and talking religion outside the building.
“They had some issues with her harassing other patrons,” said Bloomington Police Commander Mark Stehlik.
But it’s what investigators say she did on Wednesday night that surprised everyone.
“I never thought she would do that. She was very nice,” said Anisa Ahmed, Salim’s neighbor.
Salim is accused of stabbing two people. The first victim was a woman who was walking into the library.
“The next thing she knew, she felt a sharp pain in the middle of her back and realized she had been stabbed,” said Stehlik.
The second was a security guard who heard the victim’s cry for help. He went to talk to Salim in the parking lot.
“Spoke to her briefly and then she actually stabbed him as well. Stabbed him in the abdomen,” said Stehlik.
Because Salim lived next door to the library, witnesses identified her right away and she was arrested in minutes.
“Nobody was worried about her committing a violent act,” said Stehlik.
Fourteen-year-old Ahmed lives next door to Salim and only knows a friendly lady whose kids were friends with her sisters.
“She’d greet us every morning … and she’d get to know us,” said Ahmed.
Now the question everyone wants answered is why a woman who was not seen as a threat suddenly became violent.
“It’s unusual. Somebody minding their own business, walking into library, it doesn’t happen too often where they become victim of assault like this,” said Stehlik.
The victims had minor injuries. Police say they weren’t stabbed with a knife but a sharp, pointy object. (Source)
Greek Asian Panda coming to remind us that this violence has nothing to do with Islam in three . . . two . . . one . . .

Ya know, I'm only just learning about Muslims and the Islamic Faith. But it seems to me that while this may very well be an isolated event respective to its context, it nevertheless also appears to me as a foreshadow of what we may expect in the future with the population increase of Muslims.
As an analogy,if you know anything about 'fire ants' they typically don't attack till their immediate numbers are large enough to ensure victory. Yet, I have nonetheless been bitten/stung by just a single ant isolated from the rest of the colony.
How long can one be a true believer in what Islam promotes, yet not expect, at times, to witness the outworking of the pent-up-rage it creates? Even in a context as this, it will manifest itself given enough time. America beware.
PS Who knows? Perhaps she just wasn't getting the desired converts the peaceful way.
"Now the question everyone wants answered is why a woman who was not seen as a threat suddenly became violent."??????
As if the question has to be asked.
The reason why there are more and more violence by Muslims in the United States of America is because of President Barack Hussein Obama II and Attorney General Eric Himpton Holder, Jr.!
President Barack Hussein Obama II and Attorney General Eric Himpton Holder, Jr. are Supporting Muslim Islamic Terrorists which are: (1)Council on America-Islamic Relations (CAIR), (2)Hamas and (3)The Muslim Brotherhood. You can read the facts on this website: http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/did-obama-and-holder-scuttle-terror-finance-prosecutions/?singlepage=true.
President Barack Hussein Obama II and Attorney General Eric Himpton Holder, Jr. are also immigrating more and more Muslims from Yemen, Somalia and other Muslim countries. Americans, Jews, Christians like myself, Agnostics, Atheists and everybody who is NOT a Muslim will get Kill because of President Barack Hussein Obama II and Attorney General Eric Himpton Holder, Jr.!
Minnisota must be filling up with Muslims. The man who killed his step-daughter in Warren Michigan was from Minn.
---the higher the percentage of Muslims......
Chris said 'PS Who knows? Perhaps she just wasn't getting the desired converts the peaceful way."
Neither did Mohammed.
This is what happens when people invite Satan into their lives.
come on you guys, dont let a couple incidents that happen to be from one religion reflect your view on the rest of the islamic population. Yes what this lady did was HORRIBLE, but that should only reflect on her own character and not ALL muslims. And someone mentioned that muslim man who murdered his step daughter, which was DISGUSTING. But clearly these people have some sort of mental illness, just like the non-muslims who commit identical crimes.
You have to know the history of our beloved country, We are the sons of the immigrant if we trace back our great grands. Don't feel ethnocentrism be simple in order to the sample our diversity
