The armed man appears to be a Muslim and is talking about his ancestors, Allah, Mohammed. He says he’s been living on the streets for 14 days
Apparently the synagogue hasn’t gotten around to studying the book of Ruth and Nehemiah where the Jews in those books armed themselves to defend their communities.
It’s a Reform Synagogue. They’ll likely give this muzzie several of their daughters and pets along with a cash award.
It’s those white supremacists again!
And sue the gun manufacturer.
Gee
Wonder if he came to the USA from Afganistan on the TalyBiden terrorist airlift or 2021.
Jerusalem Post says he has “British” accent.
UK Daily Mail: “A man, who is Muslim and has a gun, reportedly took the hostages after entering the Congregation Beth Israel “ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10406409/Officials-negotiating-man-reportedly-holding-people-hostage-Texas-synagogue.html
Hmmm - thanks for the update. Fox news says he’s “ranting about religion” ... (Paul Harvey moment)
Sounds like another fan of the squad 🤪
FBI will have to pull resources away from investigating parents who attend school board meetings to deal with this.
Guessing he has immigration papers.
Wow Fox News going all out to tip toe over the fact that this guy is a Muslim
Fox News has none of the pertinent information that the JP has. The info about his sister who is in prison for 86 years for killing an FBI agent and he wants her released is kind of important!!
Fox is saying “he’s talking about his sister” but not who she is!!

PREET BHARARA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced today that AAFIA SIDDIQUI was sentenced in Manhattan federal court to 86 years in prison for the attempted murder and assault of U.S. nationals and U.S. officers and employees in Afghanistan. SIDDIQUI was found guilty of all charges against her following a 14-day jury trial before U.S. District Judge RICHARD M. BERMAN in Manhattan federal court.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney PREET BHARARA stated: “As a unanimous jury found beyond a reasonable doubt, Aafia Siddiqui attempted to murder Americans serving in Afghanistan, as well as their Afghan colleagues. She now faces the stiff consequences of her violent actions. We commend the New York Joint Terrorism Task Force and other law enforcement and military personnel for their tremendous work investigating this case here and abroad.”
According to the Indictment filed in Manhattan federal court, evidence presented at trial, and statements made at the sentencing proceeding:
On July 17, 2008, SIDDIQUI was detained by Afghan authorities, who found a number of items in her possession, including handwritten notes that referred to a “mass casualty attack” and that listed various locations in the United States, including Plum Island, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, and the Brooklyn Bridge. Other notes in SIDDIQUI’s possession referred to the construction of “dirty bombs,” and discussed various ways to attack “enemies,” including by destroying reconnaissance drones, using underwater bombs, and deploying gliders...
