British National ID'd as Hostage-Taker at Texas Synagogue
Newsmax ^ | January 16, 2022

Posted on 01/16/2022 3:30:50 PM PST by Navy Patriot

Authorities on Sunday identified a 44-year-old British national as the man who took four people hostage at a Texas synagogue for 10 hours before an FBI SWAT team stormed the building, ending a tense standoff that President Joe Biden called “an act of terror."

Malik Faisal Akram was shot and killed after the last of the hostages got out at around 9 p.m. Saturday at Congregation Beth Israel near Fort Worth. In a statement, the FBI said there was no indication that anyone else was involved, but it didn't provide a possible motive.

Akram could be heard ranting on a Facebook livestream of the services and demanding the release of a Pakistani neuroscientist who was convicted of trying to kill U.S. Army officers in Afghanistan. Speaking to reporters in Philadelphia on Sunday, Biden said Akram allegedly purchased a weapon on the streets and might have been in the U.S. for only a few weeks.

Yes boys and girls, if only we had common sense gun control, this could have been prevented.

I want to know what his method was for entering the United States. All that has been said is, “he entered the US several weeks ago.” What airlines, what flight, a boat? Or the southern border? Did he have a VISA?

Don't be so sure, you may be proved correct when we uncover all the officially withheld information.

We know what it means, but the headline is meant to deceive. He was much more than a UK citizen. He was an Islamic terrorist originally from Pakistan. Biden’s FBI is still trying to find a motive in much the same way the Obama/Biden administration called the Ft Hood shooting a workplace incident. Allah Akbar.

Thank god we can dispense with our global war on terrorism and focus on our real enemies, the paternalist racist society that we inherited from England and allowed to take root here in our own country.

I'm inclined to believe the FBI let him in to track him. Could it be?? Would we be so stupid?

And he bought the gun on the street? So some guy raised his hand and said "It was me...I sold him the gun." /s

Not allowing FIB informants to sell guns to foreign Nationals might get one democrat vote

Yeah, I suppose now the FBI will be arresting any American that “looks” English.

Yep, he bought it cheap from an ATF Agent after using the code words: "Fast and Furious!"

I expect we will find that Democrat policy somewhere put him at the head of the line.
