The family of the British terrorist who was shot dead after taking four people hostage inside a Texas synagogue have tonight condemned his actions as they admitted to 'liasing' with the shooter during his 10-hour stand-off with police.

Malik Faisal Akram, 44, was shot dead by the FBI after holding four hostages for more than 10 hours at Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas on Saturday.

His 'devastated' brother Gulbar Akram shared a message on social media in which he revealed he had been working with the FBI and 'liasing' with his sibling throughout the stand-off. He also apologised and blamed 'mental health issues' for Malik's actions.

No indication he was targeting the Jewish community.

Yep, just a "random" act of violence.

British Muslim Council... "The act is all the more reprehensible since it was instigated at a place of worship where Jews were targeted," said the organisation's secretary general Zara Mohammed. "This was, quite simply, a hate crime and an act of antisemitism." source

A certain ‘prophet’ had ‘mental issues’ about 14 centuries ago and unleashed on the world an unholy terror that’s responsible for untold millions of deaths, and perpetual danger.

But we’re not supposed to talk about things like that.
