“Make ready for them all that you can of force and of warhorses, so that by them you may strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” (Qur’an 8:60)
“Gunman who fired outside Albany synagogue gets decade behind bars,” Israel National News, August 13, 2025:
A man who opened fire outside a synagogue in upstate New York with dozens of children inside was sentenced Tuesday in federal court to 10 years in prison, according to The Associated Press.
Mufid Alkhader, 29, was arrested in December 2023 after discharging two shotgun rounds into the air and shouting “Free Palestine!” outside Temple Israel of Albany….
In February, Alkhader pleaded guilty under a deal with prosecutors to obstructing the free exercise of religious beliefs by threat of force, brandishing a firearm during the commission of that offense, and conspiring to unlawfully purchase a firearm.
Appearing in court in an orange prison uniform, Alkhader said he regretted his actions. “I know I was not in my right mind,” he told the court, asking for forgiveness.

Ahh, but the Muzzie was in his right mind from a Muzzie perspective to put terror in the hearts of the worst enemy of Allah, the Jews.
All I can say is that it is fortunate that the Muzzie did not shoot anyone. A 12 ga. at close range is absolutely devastating. I wish the article had more details on the charge of “conspiring to unlawfully purchase a firearm.” In all places in New York (exception NYC) a US citizen can just walk into a store that sells firearms, point to a rifle or shotgun, pass a 10 minute computerized background check, and walk out with the gun, no permit required. So either he was a not a citizen or he had a criminal record, and a straw purchaser bought the gun for him.
Taffy says
Just as I suspected, the US Dept. of Justice press release has more of the details:
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/new-york-man-sentenced-firearm-and-religious-hate-crimes-involving-firing-shots-outside
It was a straw purchaser, and the crime was investigated and charged by the feds. If it were New York State that prosecuted this crime, he would’ve gotten a sentence of a yaer and a day.

Better than it might be.

Muslims are attacking Jews in countries that are not Israel and those Jews are not Israeli citizens. Attacking Jews that dont live there and have nothing to do with that conflict. They consider all Jews to be complicit. Well, that type of thinking is a two way street. If we apply their reasoning, when muslim fanatics attack non muslims anywhere in the world we can consider all muslims as part of the group and complicit in the slaughter.
If all Jews worldwide are responsible for what is happening in Israel all muslims are al qaeda, isis, boko haram etc etc and on and on. That is how the two way street works.
Brian Ozzy says
The Israeli war is not the goad for muslims to kill Jews, the unholy Koran is and has been the reason for 1400 years. It demands the death of all Jews as “they are the very worst of people” doncha know, and “the worst in enmity against allah.” Once they have annihilated the Jews they’ll work on slaughtering all the non believers. Once that is accomplished they will fight amongst themselves, because that’s what the murdering cult of islam does!
tgusa says
Yep.
tgusa says
It is so simple that I cant explain why our ‘great minds’ cant figure it out. That is inexplicable to me.
JS says
Yes, and they are not waiting to go after all the “nonbelievers.” This is what is instructed in their Quran. I’m tired of hearing about “peaceful muslims” because if they follow that book, that “prophet” and their al lah…THEY ARE NOT PEACEFUL.
Maemae says
This doesn’t surprise me. Muslims are using the war as an excuse to scare and or kill Jews.
At only 1.2% of the population they’re already showing us their true colors. A bunch of psychopaths that are everything they accuse Jews of being.
OLD GUY says
Most likely he will learn from his Muslim/islamic brotherhood in jail, how to do it right next time. And yes he is sorry he got caught and as always out of his mind.
