Another FBI Disgrace

We were all horrified by the reports this weekend that an Islamic supremacist took a rabbi and members of his congregation hostage at a Texas synagogue.  Jew hatred and anti-Semitism continues to grow and metastasize in the United States and around the world.  Sometimes anti-Semitism camouflages itself, but it must always be exposed and rejected.

As evil as attacks like this are, just as disturbing was the FBI's initial reaction.  It was further evidence just how politicized our law enforcement and intelligence agencies have become. 

The perpetrator, Malik Faisal Akram, was a British citizen of Pakistani descent.  He stormed the synagogue demanding the release of Aafia Siddiqui, otherwise known as "Lady Al Qaeda."  She is such a Jew-hater that when she was on trial for attempting to murder U.S. troops and FBI agents, she refused to accept a Jewish defense attorney.  She also demanded that the jury be "Jew-free." 

Akram never should have been allowed into the United States.  He has a criminal record in Great Britain.  But, once again, the Biden Administration is not vetting anyone who comes into the country.   Our lax immigration policies are literally importing more hate into the country.

The FBI knew Akram was a radical Islamist and it knew of his demand to free "Lady Al Qaeda."  Yet, the FBI said the attack on the synagogue was not evidence of the American Jewish community being targeted.  After an avalanche of criticism, the Bureau was forced to backtrack.  But its impulse to downplay Islamic supremacism is revealing and disturbing.
