6 shot, 1 fatally at Seattle Jewish center

By TIM BOOTH, Associated Press Writer

9 minutes ago

A man walked into a Jewish organization Friday afternoon and opened fire, killing one person and injuring at least five others before he was arrested, officials said.

The gunman, who employees said claimed to be a Muslim angry at Israel, forced his way through the security door at the Jewish Federation after an employee had punched in her security code, said Marla Meislin-Dietrich, a co-worker who was not at the building at the time.

Staff members said they overheard him saying "'I am a Muslim American, angry at Israel,' before opening fire on everyone," Meislin-Dietrich said. "He was randomly shooting at everyone."

Police would not confirm the account.

David Gomez, an FBI assistant special agent in charge of counterterrorism, said investigators believe the gunman targeted the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle.

"We believe at this point it's a lone individual acting out antagonism toward this particular organization," Gomez said.

This is just another Jewish plot hatched by the Zionists running America to cast a bad light upon the peace-loving arab people.

Yes we have the death penalty but you would die of old age first.

It would be quite easy to find most of them. Just go to your local mosque.

"This is not a hate crime."

Why no. In fact, the ACLU could argue this is protected speech. This poor oppressed muslim was simply expressing his outrage at those murderous Israeli Jews. Why I can hear the ACLU spoke's mouth now:

"We think this man's actions, while we certainly don't agree with them, are protected by the First Amendment."

Yes, I have pretty much concluded that all criticism of Israel is anti semitic.

Why?

Israel is criticized far out of proportion to any nation on earth.

Presently, dozens of rockets rain down on it for purposes of killing Jews (see Dershowitz anlaysis of why non-Jews are not targets). The international community wants Israel to stop (cease fire) while Hezbollah regroups.

CNN stands willingly amidst Hezbollah propaganda theaters.

Until the anti-semitic frameworks of international discourse are fully deconstructed, thoughtful anlaysts of an Israeli utopia will have to endure the stench of 'anti-semite.'

The global discourse on the present conflict is absolutely absurd.

really hope they don't respond to this by arresting him- they'll just radicalize the rest of the muslim community!

Give him the Club Gitmo all inclusive.

I am not suprised the perp is of Pakistani origin.

Off late, Pakistani's are the preffered foot soldiers of jihad.

I once had a neighbor who was sold 2 Siamese fighting fish. He put them in a bowl along with a beautiful goldfish. They went after each other of course, and ripped out the goldfish's eye. I became involved when he came running to me for help. By this time, he had separated all three of them.



On another note, what did we think would happen if we dropped all these people in the US? Kum bay ya festivals?

Prayers for the folks at the Jewish center.
