Texas synagogue hostages freed, British gunman dead

There is more to Afia's story that meets the eye, we know she tried to kill a FBI agent and try to grab rifle of a US personnel but does that get her that long 84 year old sentence ? I also I was reading that even ISIS tries to negotiate her release using a Journalist who was later executed by ISIS, I mean why is she that important that US let a hostage die but did not release her when in Past US did released several Taliban hardcore fighters and commanders as hostage exchange, what is that about her that US is not even entertaining the talks on her release? anyone knows the full aspect of her story ? @SQ8 @HRK

US government will not charge you on specific offenses if they want to protect sources & methods of intelligence. In a legal trial they have to disclose it in some manner to the judge and defense lawyers. Since she was dumb enough to grab a firearm and try to shoot law enforcement personnel it is easy to use that. I am assuming she did that and she was not framed for that.

the real question is what is a PhD with US citizenship doing with Islamic militants groups ? She was associated with those groups in some way. Even if the US government made a mistake on false association someone in the US state machinery will reverse the decision and move on. It has happened with numerous people in the war on terror.

A terrorist is a terrorist. Bringing the ethnic identity of the attacker to the fore in a non-state-sponsored incident is definitely malicious.

Those who massacre of prayers in NZ, attacked the youth camp in Norway, or burned Muslim children in Germany were terrorists. We condemned not their religion, not their race, or their citizenship, but the sick thinking these individuals had. We have cursed the media, politicians and thought leaders who feed the Islamophobia that put them in this mood.

There are bigoted tendencies among Islamic circles as well as among Christian and Jewish communities, and this ignorance feeds radicalism. The Muslim countries you see here have given more victims to radicalism/religious terrorism than you can see in any other western country, they have lost their loved ones. Some of these terrorists call themselves Muslims and they have mostly shed Muslim blood in the world.

There is a very interesting narrative in the Bible ( Old Testament) about Israel and Jews. The first mention of "Jew" in the Bible is when the kingdom of Israel and Judah are at war with each other. A quarrelsome bunch of brothers they were ( the 12 tribes of Israel)! some tribes never were allowed to return to Israel after Nebuchadnezzar was done with them. The "lost 10 tribes" got lost in the fog of history. But this would be a different topic of discussion. But Israel as a Nation and people did exist way before Christianity and Muslims existed. Don't all three religions believe in Abraham, Moses and all the prophets? where then is the question?

The guy was mentally ill. His family have issued a statement saying so. They worked with the FBI to convince him to release hostages.

TThis is what his brother posted on Facebook. He's since blocked his profile.

Many terrorists and criminals suffer from mental traumas and abnormalities. That does not mean the culture they live in does not catalyse their violence. British Pakistanis do have an extremism problem - though the majority are excellent people.
