Well, sure. All jihadis have mental health issues. Nothing they do has anything to do with Islamic texts or teachings. Don’t you know that by now, you greasy Islamophobe?
“Feds Identify Synagogue Hostage-Taker as 44-Year-Old British Citizen,” by Dia Gill, Daily Beast, January 16, 2022:
The feds on Sunday identified the gunman who was shot dead after taking four hostages in a dramatic 10-hour standoff at a Texas synagogue as 44-year-old Malik Faisal Akram, a British citizen.
The Blackburn Muslim Community in the U.K. confirmed Akram’s death in a Facebook post on Sunday afternoon, asking the community to “avoid taking part in the sin of backbiting” as authorities continue to investigate the attack, which President Joe Biden has called “an act of terror.”
The group shared a statement from Akram’s brother, identified as Gulbar, that condemned the attack.
“We would like to say that we as a family do not condone any of his actions and would like to sincerely apologize wholeheartedly to all the victims involved in the unfortunate incident,” he wrote.
Hours before the FBI’s announcement, a spokesperson for the British Foreign Office said they were “aware of the death of a British man in Texas and are in contact with the local authorities.”
“The FBI’s Evidence Response Team (ERT) will continue processing evidence at the synagogue,” the FBI wrote in its release. “At this time, there is no indication that other individuals are involved. The FBI’s North Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force (NTJTTF), which includes member agencies from across the region, will continue to follow investigative leads. An FBI Shooting Incident Review Team (SIRT) will conduct a thorough, factual, and objective investigation of the events.”…
According to the Gulbar’s statement, the family was aware of Akram’s involvement during the crisis. They said that despite his “mental health issues,” they believed he would not harm his captives.
According to Gulbar’s post, the FBI is expected to fly to the U.K. and meet with the family later today.

Re: that “mental health issues” line. What took so long?
Lion heart says
PRCS : I bet had Muhammad been alive today , the leftists and Muslims would’ve put him in a psychiatric hospital for mental issues ???
Infidel says
Had Muhammad been around today, he’d never have gotten away w/ inventing islam. And assuming that RS’ theory is right, neither might the Abbasids
Daniel Triplett says
He’d be locked up in a Supermax.
mortimer says
Agree with Lion Heart. The figure of Mohammed in the Sira and the hadiths is often considered mentally ill by others around him, from cradle to grave. Mohammedans imitate his crazy behaviors. It is normal for Mohammed’s followers to be considered ‘crazy’ if they act like Mohammed.
RP says
May be we should all start by using word such as CRAZY MOHAAMMAD or Crazy like Mohammad. i.e. when ever need to state his name in media.
Wellington says
I no longer have any trust in the FBI.

Wellington,
It’s not just the FBI. They are just part of a global conglomerate, which includes the press and most Western governments. Probably the 9/11 bombers were the last ‘terrorists’ who had no mental health issues.
Our so-called leaders have personal relationships with Muslim governments around the world and those lucrative connections they have cannot be disturbed or disrupted.
I’d say you’re fortunate if you have only lost trust in the FBI. I no longer trust anyone in DC.
Once trust has been broken, it’s hard to restore.
Wellington says
Oh no, PMK, it’s much than just the FBI for me, it’s only that I was addressing here the specific matter of the FBI n light of what these Bozos said about the “incident” in Texas. Believe me when I say I have lost trust in American government pretty much across the board. There are still some good people in the federal, state and local government but they are becoming fewer and fewer by the decade. Trump saw all this but even he didn’t have the power to change it all—and which is why he had to be destroyed. The Swamp enveloped Trump as it wishes to envelop all of us who know how deep and fetid the Swamp truly is.
It’s Boston Tea Party time all over again. Better be.
somehistory says
I say, the taliban engage in pretty much the same thing as those who carry bombs on their persons, who slit throats, who drive vehicles of all descriptions into crowds, rape little girls and call it marriage, etc….so that must mean that they **all** have “mental health issues” that should keep them from being recognized as a “government.”
Such a demonic system has enveloped the globe, Truth is in short supply, along with integrity and morality.
Wellington says
“Truth is in short supply, along with integrity and morality.”
I agree, somehistory, but this has always been the case though with Western Civilization so often being the exception to this rule. Traditionally the West, even with its faults, has functioned as the brightest marker for mankind because of its emphasis on liberty, on objective truth as nearly as it can be found out, and on its capacity to think outside the box more so than any other civilization or society in history. That has now largely been lost over the past 60 years or so and you see the dismal results most everywhere—in politics, in the media, in academia, in Big Business and Big Tech, etc. Any technological advancements the West still leads in have been offset by its descent into moronic morality.
A new dark age has dawned and it is due first and foremost to the West going into suicidal and stupid mode. Better change soon like or we’re done. After all, relying on the non-Western world has never proven to be a winning strategy, so deficient has been the non-Western world. Anyone doubting me, look around at all that has improved your life but which was not developed by the West, including freedom. Not much, eh?
somehistory says
Wellington,
I can recall as a kid, believing that most people I knew or had some contact with, were honest. I highly valued ones whom I knew spoke truth and hated it when I knew someone had lied to me.
Now, I don’t trust many people to be truthful. So many have sunk to the level of lying about everything, and it seems like a totally different world.
I was watching an episode of Ozzie and Harriet in which Ricky had to do extra homework because he lost a notebook…he put it on a parked truck in order to tie his shoelace, and the truck was driven away. No one believed his *story*and Ozzie accused him of lying. (he was found to have been truthful)
While he was being called a liar, his father actually did engage in deceit.
Reminds me of how it is today: those on the *left* accuse the rest of us of doing what they actually are doing, just as mozlums accuse us of *hate* and *bigotry.*
I, for one, refuse to sink. Those of us who value Truth, must keep telling it and defending it.

Same here. As Debbie Schlussel used to brand it – Famous but Incompetent

Just appalling, Wellington–thank you for that link. I used to respect the FBI. Thank goodness local police saved the victims.

“We would like to say that we as a family do not condone any of his actions and would like to sincerely apologize wholeheartedly to all the victims involved in the unfortunate incident,” he wrote.
How Islamophobic can you get?
BexarKat says
I think it is true. you must be mentally ill to follow the teachings of Mo da Prophet.
SKA says
Biden slipped up before his handlers could muzzle him and said it was “an act of terror.”
GreekEmpress says
They just trotted him out again, and now it’s more about gun control.
Just wait, they’ll turn Akram into a white supremacist yet—

Naildriver says
True. Islam is as culpable — or rather the incitement to this crime.
CogitoErgoSum says
What? He had mental health issues? Oh my merciful heavens, I just discovered I have Islamophobic grease issuing from every pore of my body. Plus, now I am suspicious of anyone who speaks with an English accent. Lord help me.
CogitoErgoSum says
On a related note I have to add that I am now also suspicious of anyone who speaks English with an Australian accent – unless someone I trust interprets what is being said into my own version of English. There needs to be a few “y’all’s and “you guys” thrown into the mix to gain my trust – but I think most Australians already know this.
This is too bizarre to be real but apparently it is:

That is so stupid. Not only what he did to make himself understood, but he’s also lying, big time.
thanks for sharing some of the stupidest stuff I have ever heard.
And, people sometimes make fun of my y’all and you guys, but it is proof of who I am. And I’m proud of it.
Infidel says
That video was awesome! ? ? Don’t the Aborigines speak any native languages of their own?
somehistory says
The “FBI will fly”….all of the agency.
In his photo, he didn’t look a bit like a Brit, and those listening in, didn’t id his voice and language as English with a Brit’s accent.
But, hey, the U.K. has allowed so many mozlums in, who can know any longer who is and who is not “British”? If this continues, soon will come a time when they identify one as a British citizen, it will automatically mean *mozlum.* and all others will be identified as Christian, Jew, atheist, Buddhist, Hindu, etc. who happen to live in the U.K. and speak English.
Poot baby, those nasty “mental health issues” cropping up just at the wrong time.
SKA says
Calling him a “British National,” – National? As in the five nations of England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Cornwall?
Well at least now when I behold the Taj Mahal I can glory in the magnificence of British architecture!
somehistory says
Absolutely.
Wellington says
Cornwall is now officially listed as a nation within the British Isles? Been there and loved it. Kernow forever!
gravenimage says
That’s what some of the Cornish are hoping for…
PMK says
Robert hasn’t posted it here yet, but he points out on PJ Media how the Obama admin stopped FBI agents from learning Islamic teachings and texts. That’s why we hear only about ‘troubled’ or ‘mentally disturbed’ young men who commit acts of violence. The FBI is barred from investigating Islamic connections or motivations.

Infidel says
Well, doesn’t every muslim have mental health issues? Particularly once they learn about islam at their local madrassa?
As for the gunman, ethnically he is…??????? Pakistani! That’s what that name is: it’s not a native name from Cornwall. It’s nice of his brother to apologize for what he did: that apology would be more credible if the Blackburn muslim group didn’t ask the larger community to avoid engaging in ‘backbiting’, whatever that means
In the meantime, it’s important to turn the screws on tighter on Aafia begum
David M says
Exactly, here in Australia they are describing him as a “British man.” Just because you move a donkey to a stable of horses doesn’t make that donkey a horse. He is still a Paki.
Eleanor says
“British” is a very convenient way of hiding who he really is. If he has British citizenship, then he really should be called “British citizen of Pakistani descent” but they will try their darndest not to mention the Pakistani bit. He can’t be called English, Welsh or Scottish as those descriptions should be reserved for the natives.
Walter Sieruk says
It she really did have “mental health issues’ it was because her religion which is Islam created in her a very irrational and violent , murderously so.
Moreover , this female jihadist wasted all her energy , effort time and even throw away her life all for a terrible cause ,which is engaging in the violent ,bloody and deadly jihad which is based on the false religion of Islam.
The Bible instructs “. Do not stand up for a bad cause,..” Ecclesiastes 8:3. [N.I.V.]
There is the Bible based Christian site which replies .to the many claims made by the apologists and propagandists for Islam. It’s answering-islam.org

Malik Faisal Akram is male. The Jihadist he was trying to have freed is female.
Pray Hard says
He was probably a white supremacist too AND he was the real victim AND moslems are cowering in fear all over the Earth waiting for the dreaded backlash.
gravenimage says
Texas synagogue gunman identified as Muslim from UK, Malik Faisal Akram, who had ‘mental health issues’
…………………..
Why was he allowed to travel here? I imagine all of his “mental illness” was actually Islam.
(I suppose we can be sure he was fully vaccinated, though…).
More:
The Blackburn Muslim Community in the U.K. confirmed Akram’s death in a Facebook post on Sunday afternoon, asking the community to “avoid taking part in the sin of backbiting”…
…………………..
“Backbiting”–in other words, don’t say anything critical of a fellow Muslim. *That* is a sin–but apparently taking Jews hostage and threatening to murder them is not.
More:
According to the Gulbar’s statement, the family was aware of Akram’s involvement during the crisis. They said that despite his “mental health issues,” they believed he would not harm his captives.
…………………..
Right–that threatening to murder them was just fun and games…sarc/off
Infidel says
I looked up the meaning of ‘backbiting’ in dictionary.com and came up w/ this:
The second meaning makes no sense b’cos he is dead, so how can he be present for any discussion about him?
So from the first meaning, his character is not to be attacked b’cos? mental illness? islam?
In a sane world, they’d interrogate Gulbar & family about what they knew of his plans, rather than be ‘polite’ about it and give them the time & space to mourn
gravenimage says
He is not to be criticized because he is (was) Muslim. Islam prohibits the criticism of pious Muslims.
Bikinis not Burkas says
They ALL have mental illnesses from bashing their heads on the ground every day!
Proud Islamophobe says
All moslems have mental health issues. Not only are they all psychopaths, they are all insane. The legal definition of insanity is not knowing the difference between right and wrong.
OLD GUY says
Mental health issues my ass. He knows the difference between right a wrong and had a political agenda in the release of a jihadist terrorist from prison. Thankfully we won’t have to support him for years in prison also.
