A 30-year-old Pakistani man, announcing he was a Muslim and angry about Israel, pulled out a gun in the Seattle Jewish Federation today and shot six people, one dead.

The gunman, identified by law enforcement sources as Naveed Afzal Haq, 30, reportedly lives in Pasco, Washington and has a charge of lewd conduct pending against him in Benton County, Washington. He reportedly is a U.S. citizen.
According to several witnesses, the Haq got through security and announced to staff members: "I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel." He immediately began shooting randomly with a semiautomatic 9-mm handgun at the 18 employees and visitors in the offices.
The Seattle Times reports the gunman shot ordered a receptionist to call 911 after he shot her.
"He told the police that it was a hostage situation and he wanted us to get our weapons out of Israel," one of the wounded workers said.
FBI spokesman David Gomez said officials believe the suspect acted alone and is not affiliated with a foreign organization.
Haq's father was a founding member of the Islamic Centre of Tri-Cities in Richland. He and his wife moved to Pasco three years ago.
According to Chris Richey of Everett, Haq had been his neighbor until two weeks ago, when he abruptly moved. The landlady at their apartment told Richey Haq was going to Pakistan. Haq spoke often about guns and politics, said Richey, and didn't like President Bush.
A law-enforcement source said Haq had a licence to carry a concealed weapon.
Attorney Larry Stephenson, who is representing Haq on a misdemeanor lewd conduct charge for allegedly exposing himself in a public place, said his client had been scheduled for trial last Thursday, but the action was postponed. Haq is not married, has no children and no job, Stephenson said.
Stephenson refused to disclose any mental-health issues his client might have. "I'm really not OK to discuss that," he said.
A hospital spokesman said five women were brought in, and three of them are in critical condition. Three are in their 20s, one is 19 and the other is 43. The 43-year-old was shot in the abdomen. One of the victims is in her 17th week of pregnancy.
A joint terrorism task force joined SWAT teams and a bomb disposal unit at the scene.
"Throughout the city, we have directed all our patrol officers to monitor closely all synagogues and other Jewish organizations, and we have also advised neighboring agencies in the Puget Sound area to do the same," said Nick Metz, Seattle Police Department.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle says on its Web site that its mission is to "ensure Jewish survival and enhance the quality of Jewish life locally, in Israel and worldwide."
The FBI has labeled the shootings a "hate crime" based on what the gunman told police in a 911 call, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported.

Hey - our major newspaper buried this story in this morning's paper (Saturday). Ticks me off. Meanwhile, the story that MADE the front page is one about herds of deer (we have a deer problem). I understand a couple of the FP stories but to bury this one and put one about deer in - makes me so angry. Oh, and nothing at all about the guy being a 'Slum. My new word for them is 'Slum since that's pretty close to what they are (slime).
Exactly. Why do you think so many people flock to Beirut? It's because they have drinking and girlie bars and all that stuff there - the rich Arabs go there since they can't do it back home in Iraq, Iran, yadda, yadda.
My friend worked in Saudi, flew Saudia Airlines back and forth to Europe, said that the minute the planes cleared Saudi airspace, the robes came off both men and women and champagne was served. It was basically party hearty until they returned to Saudi airspace again. In London and probably in every other European capitol, sheiks paid clubs to stay open until 'way past dawn so they could keep carousing.
My other friend who lived in Cairo and Tunis for two years says the one word that basically covers muslims is DUPLICITOUS.
Internment or Deportation
Of course. I am not surprised at all. The interesting thing is that they obviously don't believe what their own faith teaches. Or, as a friend of mine would say, they are not "serious" about their faith.
I happen to be a Christian. I have Baptist friends who sincerely believe that abstention from alcohol is required and they practice this habit. I don't happen to subscribe to their believe, but they live what they believe.
I guess what I'm saying here is if one doesn't believe in what their religious doctrines say, then what's the point??
I know there are hypocrites of all faiths, but they are so legalistic that it is extremely incongruous how they "talk" vs. how they "walk."
I feel so much safer now.
Another wonderful addition to America thanks to our enlightened immigration policy. I'm just surprised he didn't use the traditional box cutter. Let's bring in lots more just like him, we have a shortage of ROP terrorists.
Islam's Bloody Borders. But it must be their neighbors causing all the trouble, because our president calls it the religion of peace and welcomes them to the White House. And let's not forget that they are Grover Norquist's special friends.
You must be smoking crack.

SEATTLE TIMES.com: "11 NEW CHARGES FILED IN JEWISH FEDERATION SHOOTINGS; DEFENDANT PLEADS INSANITY" by Christine Clarridge (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Haq is accused of forcing his way into the secure Belltown offices of the federation on July 28 by holding a gun to the back of a 14-year-old girl. He carried two guns, court documents allege, and spewed anti-Semitic statements as he made his way through the office, randomly shooting people he encountered as some screamed and tried to escape or hide. The shooting came a day after the FBI had warned Jewish organizations nationwide to be on alert after Hezbollah leaders in Lebanon and al-Qaida's second in command urged that the war raging in the Middle East be carried to the U.S. Haq reportedly told operators in a 911 call during the shooting, "These are Jews. I want these Jews to get out."") (May 30, 2007, 11:20 am)
