Why was Malik Faisal Akram even in this nation?

That’s solely certainly one of many questions surrounding the Brit’s assault on a Texas synagogue, however it’s one of many largest.

As Akram’s brother instructed Sky Information, “He’s identified to police. Received a prison file.” Nor did he have any seen technique of assist; Gulbar Akram additionally says he “was affected by psychological well being points.”

But the feds say he someway received a visa and flew into JFK round New 12 months’s, itemizing a lodge on Queens Boulevard as his vacation spot. He then made his technique to Dallas, the place he stayed at a homeless shelter for per week and acquired a gun — “off the road,” in keeping with President Biden (who, to be honest, has been identified to make stuff up).

Malik Faisal Akram demanded the discharge of convicted terrorist Aafia Siddiqui in change for the protection of the hostages.

Thank God the rabbi managed to lead an escape (after 10 hours), leaving the FBI free to make use of lethal power to carry him down.

Good on the G-men for resolving the disaster with out lack of harmless life (even when a higher-up later appeared to counsel there was nothing anti-Semitic about concentrating on a temple). However different feds plainly screwed up by letting this man into the nation within the first place.

American vacationers put up with an unlimited quantity of safety theater: tens of millions of man-hours misplaced every year to unpredictably lengthy TSA traces; intrusive pat-downs; the entire take-off-your-shoes-and-belt rigamarole. But the huge safety equipment can’t display out a mentally in poor health Muslim extremist?

The feds have gotten some explaining to do.
