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

Posted on 01/15/2022 1:34:18 PM PST by Brown Deer

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.

Criminals should no longer be in jail for ANYTHING but if you are a conservative or DARE to speak against our current tyrant THEN they put you in jail.

Aafia Siddiqui is a “graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and PhD scholar in Neuroscience from Brandeis University.”

So that's where she got her terrorist "training"!

Other terrorists like ISIS have demanded her release. The Pakistani government pushes for it constantly. Pakistan paid for her criminal defense lawyers.

Impossible. The real terrorist threat in this country is white supremacy. And January 6th trespassers.

Meanwhile, our FBI is busy tracking and monitoring those who oppose CRT being taught in schools.

Yes. And don't forget the terrorists who use their guise as parents to ask to see the local school curriculum about CRT and gender fluidity taught to their masked elementary school kids. Watch for single family homes with an American flag outside and maybe a dog on the front porch. But come with armed police.

Hmm. Now why would a Muslim target a synagogue? It’s not like Muslims are taught from birth to hate Jews, is it?

Muhammad Siddiqui? Well, that’s a surprise.
Said no reasonable person, ever.

I’d give my left nut for India to wipe the Paki trash off the planet.

Middle East and terrorism, occasional political and Jewish issues Ping List. High Volume If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Including my comments from the other thread. She's very high profile.

Reporter is a moron. Until the brother is proved to be a fool, I (and I hope law enforcement) is dealing with high level, sophisticated terrorists. Freeing a prominent terrorist from prison in the US, with a husband at GITMO, can't assume this is just a aberrant brother. The family in Pakistan is both prominent, and close to the upper levels of al Qaida.

Hopefully a peaceful conclusion, which will allow them to ignore the threat staring us in the face. He’ll just be a misguided fellow trying to help his sister. Unjustly imprisoned. Shooting an infidel soldier shouldn’t be a crime. And the rude MP with the interpreter who for some reason put his carbine on the floor within reach shot he for that. How rude, must be Islamophobic. IMO, it’s a d*** shame the MP wasn’t a better shot. After educating her, our medical system from Afghanistan to the US took care of her.

I worked with someone named Mohammed Siddiqui about ten years ago. One of the most unhappy, sullen people I’ve ever met. I really thought it was going to be him.

On another note, if this had been a white person taking hostages for the same reason in a mosque, the cries of ISLAMOPHOBIA would be off the charts. But a Muslim taking hostages in a synagogue? Well, that has nothing to do with anti-Semitism or bigotry. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Prayers up for the Rabbi and all the hostages.

This is what comes from the anti-semitism of the Biden administration and the raw bias against Jews from AOC, Tlaib, Omar, and Pressley.

Tom Selleck starred in a movie called, “Runaway.” Set in the future he’s a cop and they’re running down the “jacket” on a set of terrorists. Each one has advanced engineering degrees and they’re presented like they were making these bad guys really bad bad=guys. At the time it was funny. Now, it’s reality.

Our technology is reaching the point where someone could do real harm to all of humanity...maybe to save the planet from global warming. I’ve heard several liberals say, in effect, it would be better if humanity died. My question is, better for who? But, of course, it’s their Gia ideology.

I think one of the most dangerous things that has ever happened is publishing the human genome. I thought, what a naive, thoughtless thing to do.

Hopefully, he’s in the cross-hairs of a marksman’s scope as we discuss this, and shortly thereafter his gray matter splattered all over a spluttering but unharmed leftard congregant.

Sounds distraught. Maybe he wants to marry her.
