"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
I visited Bolshaya Bronnaya a few months after this attack. All three synagogues in Moscow are patrolled by security guards and visitors must pass through a metal detector.
The attacker first went to the Marina Roscha synagogue but changed his mind because there was already a metal detector in place there.
My son visited the U.S. and met with Abe Foxman in order to raise $50,000 to install metal detector in Bolshaya Bronnaya. Foxman turned him away, because he was preoccupied about Mel Gibson.
