Texas synagogue hostage taker demanding release of imprisoned sister
The Times of Israel ^ | 1/15/2022 | JACOB MAGID

The suspect in an apparent hostage situation at a Texas synagogue is identified as Muhammad Siddiqui by ABC News, which reports that he’s holding the rabbi of the congregation and three others hostage.

Siddiqui claimed during the livestream to be the brother of Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani national who was convicted in 2010 by a New York City Federal Court of attempting to kill US military personnel. She is currently serving an 86-year sentence at Federal Medical Center, Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas.

ABC, citing a source at the scene, says Siddiqui is demanding his sister’s release.

Agreed! I actually just checked Rob O’Neil’s Twitter feed to see if he had any input/insight/inside info from connections. Sadly, there’s no joy on that front. I’m hoping for the potential of a “Captain Phillips” moment. ;)

Some say that terrorists shouldn’t be killed, as they believe their “martyrdom” will send them to paradise.

I agree with “kill ‘em all and let allah sort ‘em out”.

They should release her body to the brother. It’s the humane thing to do.

Oh! The rest of the story (that Obama-Biden national press corpse won’t tell you) .... the man holding the rabbi and Jewish congregation hostage is in a radical Muslim terrorist family!

Dang. I thought us radical white male conservatives were the only ones on fbis wanted list for domestic terrorism!

Texas has more mosques than many states.
GWB and Rick Perry invited them in droves.

So....release her to him, then shoot them both. Win-win.
