I love happy endings.  I hope they blowed his head clean off.

Good, Biden can cry a little more in his bed.... Ole Brandon couldn't even address the issue without remaining generic in the description (no mention of Muslim or Jews).

[mrclose]

You'll be happy to know that it had nothing to do with Jews!

Wanna know how I know?

So glad it’s over. People should feel safe in their houses of worship. No matter what denomination.

FBI seems poorly informed to say that at this point considering the suspect demanded release of Muslim sister Aafia Saddiqui. She’s a convicted jihadist terrorist who is so antisemitic that she demanded jurors for her trial be DNA tested to exclude Jews. https://www.jpost.com/international/article-692631

Yeah, I read that comment by the FBI, and all I could think of was "B.S."  It clearly had everything to do with the fact that they were Jews, and in a synagogue.

Biden, his staff, and his whole administration just cannot stop gaslighting us.
They think we are that stupid. They think we are as stupid or more stupid than them.
Inflation is good?
What fuel crisis?
Mandatory lockdowns are normal and save lives?
Paper masks stop viruses?
Radical Muslim terrorist attacking a synagogue on Shabbat has nothing to do with Jews or Judaism.

If these people actually believe all this stuff (which I doubt very much), then they are retarded fools.

Texas synagogue terrorist's Pakistani 'sister' is a piece of work
By Rajan Laad

In a major news story, four hostages were freed after a standoff at a synagogue in Texas.

The incident occurred a little before 10:40 a.m. local time, yesterday, when the police received a call about a gunman storming into the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, near Fort Worth, during morning Shabbat prayers.

The service that was live-streamed via Facebook was eventually taken down.

The terrorist was heard on the livestream demanding the release of Islamist terrorist Aafia Siddiqui who was sentenced to 86 years in prison in 2010 for assault and attempted murder of a U.S. soldier.  The Associated Press reported that the gunman was also heard ranting about religion and against America.

There were four hostages in the synagogue, including the head rabbi of the synagogue, Charlie Cytron-Walker.

    A SWAT team had been deployed and the FBI was negotiating with him as the standoff entered hour eleven
    The suspect had demanded the release of Aafia Siddiqui, who was convicted in New York for trying to kill US military personnel, according to an ABC News report

    Police have evacuated nearby residents and Dallas and NYC police are patrolling area synagogues out of precaution as other major US cities follow suit

FBI: Colleyville hostage crisis was not anti-Semitism, ‘we are continuing to work to find motive’

Jan 16, 2022 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 27 Comments

This is a clear example of how clueless and willfully ignorant the FBI is. The bureau has been so thoroughly politicized that agents find “white supremacism” everywhere, but can’t see Islamic anti-Semitism when it’s right in front of their faces. Yes, this hostage taker was narrowly focused on getting convicted jihad terrorist Aafia Siddiqui freed. However, he went into a synagogue to take hostages. The Colleyville synagogue has nothing to do with Aafia Siddiqui. Nor does any other synagogue. He went into a synagogue rather than anywhere else to take hostages because of the complex of beliefs and attitudes he had about Jews derived from Islamic texts and teachings: that they’re the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82), plus modern-day conspiracy theories about how they control everything. The FBI, once again, is either lying or stupid, or both.

Most assuredly, a Muslim holding Jews hostage in a Synagogue over something they had nothing to do with doesn't indicate ant- Semitism.

The FBI isn't being clueless - they're engaged in political gaslighting.

Why do we not know anything about this guy yet?  In any other circumstance, we would already be watching live footage of CNN interviewing the guy's middle school teachers.  What I want to know is who this guy is, where he came from, and how he got into the US.  Did he come in on an Afghanistan flight, or did he walk across the Mexican border before getting an all-expense-paid ride to Arlington, TX?

FBI flew in HRT to handle the synagogue terrorist.
That's atypical. Normally local SWAT would handle with federal backup if need be.
HRT is tier one domestic LE.
This guy was definitely on the Bureau's radar. They're spinning the narrative to cover their own asses.

Don't be that way, maybe he just couldn't find a Catholic, Baptist, Lutheran, LDS, etc., church so picked the first place he could find. Yea I know utter malarkey, the FBI should know by now that no one is buying the crap they are selling anymore.

There is zero doubt that the feds let into this country a man who they knew had a terrorist past and dangerous.

The FBI is not inept.  They are evil and wound up silencing their 'problem'.

Now if you believe Biden and the other appeasers, they will claim we have angered the Muslim world with his killing.  Watch for reparations to his family to compensate his not killing any Jews.

Malik Faisal Akram: Everything we know about the Texas synagogue hostage-taker

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/malik-faisal-akram-british-texas-hostages-b1994455.html

How did a British man from Blackburn end up holding four people hostage in a synagogue in Texas? That is the question both UK and US authorities are now trying to answer after the FBI named Malik Faisal Akram as Saturday's hostage-taker.

According to CBS News, Akram is not a US citizen and arrived in the country about two weeks ago via JFK International Airport in New York City. He has no criminal record in federal courts.

We don’t know much else about Akram’s life, such as what his trade was, whether he was married, or why he flew to the US.
Brother says Akram 'suffered from mental health issues'

A chance remark caught on the livestream gives one additional detail about Malik Akram's life.

"Don't f***ing cry over me, okay?" the man tells the negotiator at one point. "I left six beautiful kids. I didn't cry... my heart has become stone."

Jewish leaders have reportedly condemned the FBI's apparent suggestion that an attack on a synagogue could be unrelated to antisemitism, particularly considering the potential link to Siddiqui. Throughout her trial, she made antisemitic statements, and at one point demanded the jury be genetically-tested so Jewish people could be excluded.

How did he get a gun and did he have explosives?

Even with its liberal gun laws, Texas does not allow foreign citizens who are not US residents to legally purchase guns. Given that Akram reportedly arrived in the US two weeks ago, it's unclear how he obtained a weapon.

According to CBS, no explosives had been found at the synagogue (as of 12.17pm Central Time on Sunday). Akram had reportedly claimed to have bombs set up in unknown locations.

An official told CBS that Akram had joined the synagogue service on Saturday by claiming to be a homeless man. Mr Biden also said he had been told the hostage-taker spent his first night in the US in a homeless shelter.

[cato potatoe]

He held a U.K. passport, but he most certainly was not British.  Any word from Tony Blair, who flooded his country with this trash?
