Why in the world would a violent Islamic terrorist decide to hold a bunch of Jews hostage in Texas in order to demand the release of another Islamic terrorist dubbed "Lady Al Qaeda"?
According to the FBI, we'll never know.
This is really hard stuff, guys. A Muslim man named Malik Faisal Akram was "singularly focused" on freeing a Pakistani Muslim terrorist, and that had nothing (probably) to do with the Jews, because there's zero history of any evidence of Muslim violence toward Jews anywhere in the world. And this female terrorist definitely has had zero publicly-stated animus toward Jews.
I mean, pay no attention to the third-graders who could answer the question based on their basic lessons about current geopolitics. You need an FBI badge, seven PhDs, and some cool glasses you put on in slow-mo to unravel this mystery.
If it's a garage door rope at a NASCAR event or a parent who complains about racist curriculum being taught to their kids, however, the FBI immediately knows the motive and is all over the case.
The media, likewise, was completely stumped on the matter. For some reason, they didn't want us to know that he was a violent Islamist goon, focusing on every other physical trait and descriptive phrase they could think of.
This was a tweet from the AP before they deleted it:
Here's WaPo letting you know the dude has a British accent so you'll think "white posh guy" instead of Muslim terrorist:
Kinda has Waukesha "tragedy" that was "caused by an SUV" vibe to it.
Glad to see WaPo hasn't stopped being a steaming hot pile of garbage in the last month.
British outlets were just as bad:
Oh, and just in case you were wondering, the President of the United States doesn't have a clue!
Meanwhile, people on the internet were able to do the FBI and media's job for them:
Others took the opportunity to slam Texas for its love of liberty by saying its lack of gun control was the problem...
I guess they didn't pay attention to the fact that Akram, whose family says was mentally ill, got the gun illegally on the streets of crime-ridden, leftist NYC after he landed there.
Straight from Joe Biden's mouth:
I don't have all the facts, nor does the attorney general, but allegedly the assertion was he got the weapons on the street. He purchased them when he landed.
The president noted Akram could have gotten it at the homeless shelter where he reportedly spent his first night in NYC after arriving in the U.S. several weeks ago.
Oh well. I'm sure Joe Biden won't try to spin this into a gun control narrative.
The guns are — we should be — the idea of background checks are critical. But you can't stop something like this if someone is on the street buying something from somebody else on the street. Except that there's too — there's so many guns that have been sold of late; it's just ridiculous.
Too late.
After a ton of pressure, the FBI finally admitted that this was indeed a terrorist attack that focused on the Jewish community.
