One dead, at least five injured in shooting at Jewish Federation in Seattle

SEATTLE – One person has been killed and at least five others have been injured in a shooting at the Jewish Federation at 2031 Third Ave. in downtown Seattle. One suspect has been taken into custody....

Sources told KING 5 the suspect is a 31-year-old Pakistani man with a criminal background. He is from the Pasco but his citizenship status or how long he has lived in the United States is unknown. Also unknown is what sort of criminal record he has. Officials are on the way to the Pasco to interview his family....

According to the Seattle Times, a man got through security at the Jewish Federation and told staff members, "I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel," then began shooting, according to Amy Wasser-Simpson, the vice president for planning and community services for the Jewish Federation.

A Harborview Medical Center spokesperson said five women were brought in, and three of them are in critical condition. They have not yet been identified. Their ages are 23, 27, 29, 19 and 43. The 43-year-old woman was reportedly shot in the abdomen. Two vicitms were in satisfactory condition: a woman, who's 17 weeks pregnant whowas shot in the arm and another victim with a knee injury....

...It's not yet known if the incident is politically motivated. 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."

...Iantha Sidell, past chairperson of the Jewish Federation Center, said: "We believe in life and it's hard to believe there will ever be peace when you're dealing with people who don't value life."

Islam is the religion of "violins".

I am so tired of hearing about the condemnation of this behavior by so-called "good" Muslims. You know and I know that it 99.99% of all worldwide terrorism was committed by Methodists, the whole lot of them would have been rounded up years ago!

Liberals keep being surprised by the jihadi mindset! Sheeesh...

Liberals have encouraged it. Klan pink and their associated minions have been screaming their anti Israeli / anti American rhetoric. Calling the Israelis and us nazis and accusing us of genocide and mass murder. Strangely enough, the liberals that I know don't want to talk about this killing spree.

Makes me wonder if the militias training in the Minnesota wilderness don't have at least one point-that we need to know how to defend ourselves and our families and homes...

Everyone should know the basics- how to shoot, drive, swim... basic first aid, foraging, and firestarting. There was a lot of loony fringe activity in some of the old Survivalist movement, but the original idea was well-intended.

Can anyone forget those images of Katrina survivors just sitting around waiting for somebody else to do something?
( And to be fair, I also saw a lot of footage of people of every race helping each other, too. Man has a lot- good and bad- in him. )

Political correctness will kill us if nothing else gets to us first.
Anyone who doubts it should walk into their local library with a copy of any book from this page:

http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Pages/Bookstore.htm

and tell the librarian it's a donation in memoriam---pick any victim of Islamic terror. Or just tell the librarian it's a free book, brand new, you want to donate to the library.

No thank you. Nothin' doin'. Leave quietly.

Islam is not a religion, it is an ideology of violence and hatred.

IMHO, a Bushido code developed by guys that had to build a fighting
unit in order to survive and thrive in a desert.

With a thin veneer to deflect criticism and to hold the unit together.

No, don't put a bullet into his brain. That would be too quick, too merciful for this murdering bastard.

Instead, fire a bullet into each hand.

Fire a bullet into each of his feet.

Fire a bullet into each kneecap.

And take your time about it. Should take a week at the very least.

Er, um, did you check Breaking News?

Saturday morning, there is no news about it on mainestream media.

How many people here in US an Islamic pig needs to kill to get attention of proislamic US media; 60, 600 perhaps 6000 ?!

What is it going to take to convince Americans that Islam simply isn't compatible with America? is a death cult from hell?

Glad to help.

Dang it, I forgot the quotes:

"What is it going to take to convince Americans that Islam simply isn't compatible with America? is a death cult from hell?"

This Muslim's post-strike MO is strikingly similar to the Muslim guy who mowed down the students on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus. Both of them called 911 to report the attack, and to make their motive very clear.

But the shooter is being praised on AQ forums. THEY have no problem calling a spade a spade.

Maybe since he was a Muslim, they assumed he was lying.

I wonder how angry Moslems will be when this guy hangs?

I wonder how silent the media and pundits will be when he doesn't hang on a "Muslim Rage" defense like they tried to do with Colin Ferguson's "Black Rage" defense when he shot up a New York commuter train.

And here's an irony that the MSM won't tell you about. Jews in Seattle are liberal democrats. This will change noone's thinking out there, in my opinion.

Already blaming the fact that he was given a concealed weapon license with mental illness. How many hundreds in Seattle have unlicensed concealed weapons, with much more dangerous mental illness (sociopath)? Lots!!!

Wait a sec - I thought all this Mid East unrest was about Israel, but this was thousands of miles away from Israel. Gee, could it be they're just Jew-haters? Whodah thunk it!

"I wonder how angry Moslems will be when this guy hangs?"

If the incident had happened in Texas, I'd be certain this guy would be hanged. But since it happened in Seattle, I seriously doubt it. CAIR, the MSM, and the ACLU will ensure that life imprisonment (with soft sofa, 24/7 al-jazeera on TV, "respectful" guards that won't even look at a Koran for fear of "offending") at most will be the sentence.

Any bets on whether he is charge with a "hate crime" or not.

My guess is Muslim kills Jew, no hate crime.

Jew kills Muslim, Hate crime.
