Islamic Jew hatred — a central pillar of Islam.
A man was arrested Thursday afternoon after he allegedly fired off a shotgun in the parking area of an Albany, New York, synagogue, Gov. Kathy Hochul said.
The FBI identified the suspect in Thursday’s incident as Mufid Fawaz Alkhader, who is being charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
‘FREE PALESTINE’: Islamic shooter arrested near Albany synagogue
By JNS, December 8, 2023:
Story continues below advertisementA 28-year-old man from Albany, N.Y., is under arrest after he fired a weapon in the parking lot of Temple Israel in the state capital on Thursday, a few hours before the start of Chanukah and as students at the congregation’s early childhood center were inside the building.
The incident happened around 2:30 p.m. There were no reported injuries or fatalities or damage to the Conservative synagogue.
The suspect was seen walking around the synagogue and acting “suspicious” before he fired a round from a shotgun and made verbal threats, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, said at a press conference.
At least two dozen preschoolers were on the premises at the time, and the school went into immediate lockdown, said the governor. Parents were notified, and all have been reunited with their children.
Federal law enforcement is investigating with local and state police, Hochul said. The man who was arrested has a rap sheet, the governor said, but she declined to give additional information. She also declined to say what the suspect said before firing the weapon.
The Times Union reported that the man allegedly yelled “Free Palestine,” although it wasn’t clear if the suspect said that at the time of the alleged shooting or subsequently. It cited “city police and a person briefed on the matter.”
Antisemitism has risen “dramatically” in the state in recent weeks, the governor said, fueling anxiety among Jewish New Yorkers. To know that someone brought a loaded gun to a synagogue “shakes people to their core,” she said.
People shouldn’t have to be frightened at the time that a “beautiful” holiday is about to start, she added……

Muslim men make their money from prostitution, drugs, many wives living in commission homes under woman own names with multiple children. Welfare cheats. That’s hiw they open own businesses. Don’t give a shit about traditional families marry cousins. Promote their religion and race as Great.

What does Naw Yawk expect when they allow the muslimes to have their daily Satanic call to prayer broadcast all over the city. They also have a muslime police force in the city. As usual nothing will be done.

“Mufid Fawaz Alkhader, who is being charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person” Not for discharging a weapon? Not for Harassment? Not for endangerment of others?

If this guy has a Rap Sheet? Should he even be allowed to be in possession of a firearm? And if he is found to be in possession of a firearm under that circumstance of having a criminal record. Should he not go directly to jail? The cops are being very selective when it comes to applying the Law to Muslimes. Same here in Canada. But here the Alphabet people and Trannies get the free pass as well.

He better serve some decent time. I mean at least years in jail.
