Check. The plight of an Islamist prisoner? Check. An optimistic look forward to martyrdom? Check.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m opening the doors for every youngster in England to enter America and f\u2013k with them!\u201d Malik told Gulbar, 33, who was on the line in a Blackburn, England, police station, urging him to surrender after his brother, armed with a pistol, took a rabbi and three congregants hostage.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cLive your f\u2013king life, bro, you f\u2013king coward! We\u2019re coming to f\u2013k America! F\u2013k them if they want to f\u2013k with us! We\u2019ll give them f\u2013king war!\u201d Malik roared during the 11-and-a-half-minute recording, which the Chronicle obtained from a security source.<\/p>\n<p>His family \u2014\u00a0and the FBI, which was listening in \u2014 soon realized that persuasion was pointless. \u201cI\u2019d rather live one day as a lion than 100 years as a jackal,\u201d Malik declared. \u201cI\u2019ve asked Allah for this death. Allah is with me, I\u2019m not worried in the slightest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to go toe-to-toe with [police] and they can shoot me dead,\u201d he told his brother. \u201cI\u2019m coming home in a body bag.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Brit told authorities he would free the hostages in exchange for the freedom of Pakistani terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, who\u2019s serving an 86-year sentence in nearby Fort Worth after attempting to murder US service members in Afghanistan, and he confirmed that to his brother, claiming that \u201cthey f\u2014ing framed her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But that wasn\u2019t the only thing that led him to choose to take his hostages at a synagogue on the Sabbath, of course.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWhy do these f\u2013king mother\u2013kers come to our countries, rape our women and f\u2013k our kids? I\u2019m setting a precedent,\u201d he yelled on the call. \u201cMaybe they\u2019ll have compassion for f\u2013king Jews,\u201d he shouted.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, he raged against the Jews. Indeed, the service was being livestreamed, and before the feed was cut, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/nb\/scott-whitlock\/2022\/01\/17\/study-nbc-cbs-bury-phrase-islamic-extremist-after-synagogue\">anyone could hear him<\/a> rave, \u201cBut Americans don\u2019t give a f\u2013k about life unless it\u2019s a f\u2013king Jew!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That matched other evidence our journalists had uncovered, notably that someone who heard Akram saying he wanted to bomb Jews reported him to the police a year ago. The police didn\u2019t deem it necessary to act.<\/p>\n<p>The entire incident was an obvious example of the grossest anti-Semitism. President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson called it such.\u00a0But others were far more reluctant: Even \u201cCBS Mornings,\u201d which aired that livestreamed line, refused to call him Akram what he was: an Islamist terrorist.<\/p>\n<p>But you didn\u2019t need to hear that disgusting statement to know what motivated Akram. Never mind that he targeted a synagogue on the Sabbath. The woman he sought to free is an infamous anti-Semite. She actually demanded during her trial that possible jurors undergo DNA testing so that no one with a drop of Jewish blood stood in judgment of her. \u201cIf they have a Zionist or Israeli background . . . they are all mad at me,\u201d she explained. \u201cThey should be excluded if you want to be fair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Incredibly \u2014\u00a0but not surprisingly \u2014\u00a0some Democrats were quick to cite \u201cwhite supremacism\u201d as a possible motive for a synagogue hostage-taking in the name of a woman dubbed Lady al Qaeda.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">\u201cMy biggest concern, hearing that it\u2019s at a synagogue, is that this is someone who\u2019s intent on committing hate crimes and an act of domestic terrorism,\u201d Michigan Attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Dana Nessel <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/michigan-democrat-white-supremacy-attack-texas-synagogue\">said on MSNBC<\/a>. \u201cNow, we don\u2019t know that for certain, but we have seen an incredible rise in rhetoric that is anti-Semitic being trafficked all around the country,\u201d she claimed, adding that we\u2019re seeing \u201can exponential rise in the formation and the membership of these extremist organizations, many of which are white supremacy organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even reporting on our recording, the BBC decided that it principally showed \u201cthe efforts made by Akram\u2019s family to get him to surrender \u2014 as well as Akram\u2019s deteriorating mental state and the increasing tension inside the synagogue.\u201d The jihadist ideology? The Jew-hatred? Not so much.<\/p>\n<p>But then, Matthew DeSarno, the FBI Dallas office\u2019s special agent in charge, who had to know what the gunman was saying, described the terrorist to the press as \u201csingularly focused on one issue, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In this post-truth age, somebody needs to make the case for sanity. Proper reporting goes a long way to providing ammunition when people refuse to recognize the obvious.<\/p>\n<p><em>Jake Wallis Simons is editor of the Jewish Chronicle.<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
