My guess is that there is a campaign afoot by Muslims working to instill fear in the Jewish Community and to trigger some kind of response by authorities (which agency, what level of government, time from visit to agency action, etc.). Possibly even to trigger enough of a response so they can file a lawsuit with CAIR’s help.
There likely wouldn’t be any evidentiary reason to hold these Muslim women for ‘simply asking questions.’ They’ll not be armed, nor connected with bombs, weapons or any direct terroristic markers.
It is the same kind of tactic Muslim agitators use when groups of them get on an airplane and then all stand up and start jibber jabbering.
What’s obvious to me is that the nice Jewish folks at that synagogue are the same liberal Jews who condemn Netanyahu, support a Palestinian state, and vote for the Jew-hater Obama.
How else could those hijabi Muslimahs saunter in & start firing questions that are clearly about sizing the place up, without getting a counterbarrage of questions hurled at them:
“Who are you? Give us your names, please.”
“Which mosque do you attend? Who is the imam there?”
“Why are you asking questions about attendance here & at what times? Are you planning something?”
“Do you support terrorism? What is your opinion of the San Bernardino massacre and the Paris massacre?”
“What do you think of the Hadith that states Jews are apes & monkeys & pigs?”
“Do you agree with the Koran that every human is born Muslim?”
Then remind them that this is a Jewish house of worship & ask them to leave.
Thats been the previous strategy, i don’t expect them to adhere to it forever.
That sounds about right.
