Texas synagogue hostages freed, British gunman dead

[cloud4000]

Can't you guys change the constitution and thus gun laws to end extra ordinary gun violence and crime in your country?

What do you suggest? Disarm law-abiding citizens and let the criminals have guns, often illegally obtained? I'm for more thorough background checks, mental health evaluations, etc.

They treat their constitution as the world of god and not a practical legal framework that should be adapted to meet the needs of modern society.

Yes, the US Constitution can be amended but the procedure is long and hard, per the design of the founders. They didn't want the constitution changed on whimsical grounds. Attempts to amend the 2nd Amendment have failed repeatedly even when Democrats are in control of the federal government.

It's time for Pakistan gov to intervene and get Aafia Siddiqi out. Let's see if PTI can walk the talk.Pakistan has had many opportunities to make a deal but the people who sold her are afraid of the truth coming out. If Aafia was white she would have been out long time ago.

Aafia Siddiqui is nothing more than a political football for Pakistan's political parties. When in opposition, she is a sister they vow to bring back. But when in power, they forget because she's suddenly an inconvenience.

What is Pakistan's stated position on the case against this woman? Does Government of Pakistan want her back? If yes, then have they made any diplomatic efforts to get her back?

Pakistan wants her repatriated. The US wants the release of Shakil Afridi in exchange for Aafia Siddiqui, but so far Pakistan has not taken up the offer. It looks like Aafia Siddiqui will be in jail sometime longer.

Who is Aafia Siddiqui, the federal prisoner at the center of the Texas hostage incident?

Her lawyer says she opposes violence, but prosecutors said she yelled "I am going to kill all you Americans" after she opened fire on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.

John Floyd, board chair of CAIR Houston and longtime legal counsel for Siddiqui’s brother, said in a statement that the sibling is not responsible for the situation, is not near Dallas-Fort Worth and that the hostage taker has nothing to do with Siddiqui.

There is no excuse or justification to attack innocent people and civilians anywhere in the world, by anyone. Period. No but, but, but.

My dear you haven't been tested or lost a loved one so it's easy for you to give such statements.

Israel is a state of Jews, that's the meaning of Jewish state. Not a state that runs strictly by Jewish laws.

That means Jews aren't jews anymore. So what's the point of having a Jewish state?

 

[Imran Khan]

now lets have some brain
how many prisnors released like this in USA in past ? how many % of chances were that afia will be released like this ? these jihadis have no brain at all .

 

[Beny Karachun]

Jews are what they determine Jews should be, we aren't stuck in the past. Just as Jews back then changed the laws from time to time, we can change them as well.

Anyways, this is a Jewish state and it will remain so.

So Muslims who don't pray or go to Mosque are no longer Muslims in law and constitution?

Yea basically Zionism replaced Judaism.
Present day Israel is a Zionist state not a Jewish state. You confused people don't know what you are fighting for or just bunch of thugs using a religion to occupy a piece of land.
Torah forbids Jewish people to have their own state and few real Jews left today oppose the existence of isreal.

You know Jewish Torah more than Jews?

Israel’s Religiously Divided Society

There are deep divisions in Israeli society over political values and religion's role in public life -- not only between Jews and the Arab minority, but also among the religious subgroups that make up Israeli Jewry.

No, Zionism is an ideology, Judaism is a religion. You could be a Muslim from Iran and be a Zionist. Zionism is simply the belief Israel is the land of the Jews.

We know what we're fighting for, to never let anyone oppress us again. And anyone that would try would pay. This is what the Arabs that are fighting us are paying to this day. This is our land, we were here before the first Arab left the Arab Peninsula and before the first Muslim existed.

Torah doesn't forbid any such thing, Torah predates two other holy books that comprise the Bible called Prophets and Written, in both of which Israel exists and is the land of the Jews as God intends it to be.

Jews were chosen by god in the Quran as well. You say that the Jews that oppose Israel are the only real Jews just because they follow your agenda, that is not only hypocritical but also pathetic.

Israel has millions of traditional and Orthodox Zionist Jews, the Neturei Karta Jews don't care about Palestine, they would support Hitler himself if he would lead to the destruction of Israel.

They believe Israel needs to be constructed only when the Messiah comes back and when that happens they would genocide all the Palestinians that think they have rights over this land.

Such belief has no real basis and the biggest Rabbis throughout history were supporters of a Jewish state.
