My latest in PJ Media: The family of Malik Faisal Akram, the Islamic jihadi from Britain who took hostages in Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, Saturday, has “demanded to know how he was allowed into America despite a long criminal record,” says the UK’s Daily Mail. More than just his family should be asking […]

Texas synagogue gunman identified as Muslim from UK, Malik Faisal Akram, who had ‘mental health issues’

https://twitter.com/AdamMilstein/status/1482595056934547456 This is a clear example of how clueless and willfully ignorant the FBI is. The bureau has been so thoroughly politicized that agents find “white supremacism” everywhere, but can’t see Islamic anti-Semitism when it’s right in front of their faces.
