B-Man Posted Thursday at 03:10 PM Author Posted Thursday at 03:10 PM Motive unclear A terrorist attack occurred in Manchester, England, this morning against a local synagogue. Here is a widely shared photo of the perpetrator, From the U.K. Daily Mail, referring to the above photo, This is the terrorist with a suspected suicide belt who killed at least two people outside a Manchester synagogue before being shot by police. A car was driven into a crowd and a man stabbed at 9.31am on Yom Kippur – the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Police said three other victims are in a serious condition after the attack outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall. I know the picture is blurry, media accounts show a clearer image. Does he look “far right” to you? How about in the midst of a mental health crisis? You can leave your thoughts in the comments section below. Because you can’t in the U.K., as local media have disabled comments sections. As for me, I’m going with evil. Quoting from the Daily Mail, Police sources told the Mail it was ‘too early’ to determine the attacker’s motivation. So his motivation is not yet clear. Well, except for the painfully obvious. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/10/motive-unclear-4.php
Neo Posted Thursday at 08:58 PM Posted Thursday at 08:58 PM (edited) The synagogue attacker has been identified as 35 year old Jihad Al-Shamie, a British citizen of Syrian descent who entered Great Britain as a minor. The crime has been labeled an act of terror. Time will tell us more. Immigration and integration are conjoined twins as issues. Neither is beneficial or harmful alone. Of course, how you define beneficial or harmful is the illuminating choice one makes during policy conversations. I am fascinated by England, Great Britain, and current events regarding immigration, integration and free speech. I am more than a little surprised by the trajectory. The Prime Minister and Home Secretary have said anti-semitism will not stand and that government will do everything it can to keep its citizens safe. Talk is of security. I am not convinced this is a security issue and not a national character issue, Time will tell. In the meantime, don’t tell me what security details are being deployed. Tell me what it means to be British. That moral courage shouldn't be controversial. That courage is scarce, though, and not just in Great Britain. Edited Thursday at 09:01 PM by Neo 1
ScotSHO Posted yesterday at 01:33 AM Posted yesterday at 01:33 AM 55 minutes ago, JDHillFan said: Grotesque During the 1979 Iranian Revolution, communists and Islamists formed a temporary and tactical alliance to overthrow the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Following the revolution, however, the new theocratic government, led by Ayatollah Khomeini, brutally suppressed its communist allies to consolidate power. Libtards across the globe have learned nothing. Brutally suppressed are internet nice words for all useful commies in Iran were killed dead.
B-Man Posted yesterday at 03:23 PM Author Posted yesterday at 03:23 PM Meet the Syrian Migrant Named Jihad Who Killed Manchester Jews Catherine Salgado No one grounded in reality will be shocked to discover the background of the terrorist who attacked a Manchester synagogue on Yom Kippur. Jihad Al-Shamie, whom Greater Manchester Police describe as a “British citizen of Syrian descent,” took his name so seriously that he decided to wage jihad (“holy war”) on the congregants of Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue. After all, Islamic sacred texts command the killing of Jews. Jihad thought he was on his way to Paradise for running over and stabbing Jews, so he was in for a fiery surprise after law enforcement shot him. The police tentatively identified the killer as Al-Shamie but noted that other individuals were also in custody in connection with the ongoing investigation. The police were also, of course, reluctant to admit that there could be any obvious motivation for a Syrian to attack a synagogue. What a mystery. Al-Shamie drove his vehicle into the synagogue and stabbed a man to death in an attack that killed two and injured multiple people. The synagogue was full at the time due to service for Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2025/10/02/meet-the-syrian-migrant-who-killed-manchester-jews-n4944410
Wolfgang Posted yesterday at 03:49 PM Posted yesterday at 03:49 PM England chose this path long ago... Perhaps they can move what's left of the Palestinians into the UK... I would support that move...

I have a hard time understanding the bail system, especially with violent/sexual crimes. It is idiotic letting (probable) violent offenders back to the streets in exchange for money while awaiting trial. If they are dangerous they need to be behind bars in jail. I can understand using a bail system with crimes like tax fraud etc. that take a long time to investigate and where there is little risk of the suspect "ruining" the investigation if not in jail. But for rape, murder etc? Idiotic. (We actually agree on something? Feels a bit scary.) Edited 1 hour ago by AverageAllensSuspensor
