Iraq Immigrant Fires Shotgun Outside NY Synagogue, Shouts, “Free Palestine” - "The suspect... feels that he’s being victimized"

Anything happening to a mosque is a major story. But an Iraqi Muslim immigrant running around with a shotgun outside a synagogue is a minor story.

A man arrested in connection with shots that were fired outside a synagogue in Albany, New York, on Thursday has been federally charged, officials said.

Mufid Fawaz Alkhader was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, FBI spokesperson Sarah Ruane told NBC News.

Alkhader, 28, was born in Iraq and is now a U.S. citizen. He recently lived in Schenectady, New York, according to the criminal complaint.

No one was injured in the incident, in which two shots were fired from a Kel-Tec KS7 12 gauge pump shotgun outside Temple Israel around 2 p.m., Albany Police Chief Eric Hawkins said. Police don’t know in what direction the shots were fired, he said.

“We were told by responding officers that he made a comment, ‘Free Palestine,’” Hawkins said at a news conference.

The shooter fled but was confronted by another person in a vehicle in a lot, Hawkins said.

“The suspect at that point made some statement to this person who was in the vehicle to the effect of he feels that he’s being victimized,” Hawkins said.

He brought a shotgun to a synagogue, fired it, and he’s the victim. This is the entire “Palestinian” cause in a nutshell.

Mufid Fawaz Alkhader got citizenship, but apparently, he’s also prohibited from owning firearms. That suggests he’s a felon.

Not much else is known about him, but Albany has been a hub for Muslim refugee resettlement including lots of Iraqis.

It is in NY. Will charges be dropped by a Soros prosecutor?

Not to worry. The FBI is investigating all those religions that are a danger to civilization. And those uncivilized Catholics will soon be arrested.

I wonder which administration’s amnesty program is responsible for the admission of this upstanding US citizen.

“suspect... feels that he’s being victimized”

Oh, well. I guess his actions are OK then.

Two cultures that do not share the same values, history or customs can survive in the same place unless one is much stronger and willing to use that strength to keep the smaller culture in check.

Currently America has many small cultures that do not share the same values as the majority but are weaker then the smaller cultures since the government sides with them (the smaller cultures).

At some point the majority regains control.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam and leftism.

...(from 2010) Mohammed, 27, is active with the Iraqi Refugee Project, which is sponsored by Capital Region Women Against War, Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace and the Women’s Association for Family Affairs.

In March 2010, the Iraqi Refugee Project sponsored its biggest event: a spring festival at the First Unitarian Universalist Society (!?) of Albany.

We didn’t have to be living this nightmare. It’s a choice. Leftists did this to us and it’s not too late to stop it. But if we don’t, much worse will be waiting for us.

Excellent article tracing the idiocy of our "betters" by Mr. Greenfield.

If he were white and from South Africa, he would be stripped of his citizenship and deported.

Ah, but once he switches from Iraqi citizenship to US citizenship, he can’t be deported or punished.

At least according to the NYS government.

For someone to go this far in the civil society.... 10 years in jail wouldn’t change his mind or ways.

NORMAL PEOPLE don’t grab the 12 gauge and start firing away at a place of worship. People who belong to a blood thirsty cult do. If this POS feels so strongly about the war, get your 12th century inbred ass on a plane and go die fighting. Or, visit one of those tunnels and see how long you can hold your breath.

"...First Unitarian Universalist Society..."

I am heartened that there is no actual reference to God in that title...because from what I have seen, those things are all woke-social-justice fever swamps of people pretending operate under the principles of "some" god of some kind, but is isn't God.

Those idiots are typically flying a queer flag. It’s like they don’t even know how Muslim countries handle queers.

So: a Muslim Iraqi immigrant who feels he’s being victimized by having chosen to flee to a country that still tolerates Jews.
