Anything happening to a mosque is a major story. But an Iraqi Muslim immigrant running around with a shotgun outside a synagogue is a minor story.
A man arrested in connection with shots that were fired outside a synagogue in Albany, New York, on Thursday has been federally charged, officials said.
Mufid Fawaz Alkhader was arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, FBI spokesperson Sarah Ruane told NBC News.
Alkhader, 28, was born in Iraq and is now a U.S. citizen. He recently lived in Schenectady, New York, according to the criminal complaint.
No one was injured in the incident, in which two shots were fired from a Kel-Tec KS7 12 gauge pump shotgun outside Temple Israel around 2 p.m., Albany Police Chief Eric Hawkins said. Police don’t know in what direction the shots were fired, he said.
“We were told by responding officers that he made a comment, ‘Free Palestine,’” Hawkins said at a news conference.
The shooter fled but was confronted by another person in a vehicle in a lot, Hawkins said.
“The suspect at that point made some statement to this person who was in the vehicle to the effect of he feels that he’s being victimized,” Hawkins said.
He brought a shotgun to a synagogue, fired it, and he’s the victim. This is the entire “Palestinian” cause in a nutshell.
Mufid Fawaz Alkhader got citizenship, but apparently, he’s also prohibited from owning firearms. That suggests he’s a felon.
Not much else is known about him, but Albany has been a hub for Muslim refugee resettlement including lots of Iraqis.
Here’s a flashback to 2010.
.M. Mohammed was one of the first Iraqi refugees to arrive in the Capital Region.
In the two years since he settled in Albany, approximately 200 Iraqis have followed, fleeing a war-torn homeland. Many of them have received guidance and advice from Mohammed, who speaks fluent English and can help them navigate an unfamiliar culture and bureaucracy.
Mohammed, 27, is active with the Iraqi Refugee Project, which is sponsored by Capital Region Women Against War, Bethlehem Neighbors for Peace and the Women’s Association for Family Affairs.
In March, the Iraqi Refugee Project sponsored its biggest event: a spring festival at the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Albany.
We didn’t have to be living this nightmare. It’s a choice. Leftists did this to us and it’s not too late to stop it. But if we don’t, much worse will be waiting for us.

The Democrats are wholly incapable of keeping order in the streets. Same thing led to disaster in Ancient Rome.
Ugly Sid says
Democrats have access to special machinery which induces profound municipal tranquility. It was invented by a French physician named Guillotine. Complaints were infrequent.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, except they’d use it on us.
Ugly Sid says
Squeaky wheels and grease.
CowboyUp says
It’s ironic that Dr. Guillontine was trying to come up with a quick, relatively painless, and humane way to execute people. History is often stranger and more improbable than fiction.
Jeff Bargholz says
Allowing the Visigoths to live on their border didn’t help the Romans out, either. The only thing dumber would’ve been to invite them all in like the Alzhemer Joe and Dirtbagocrats in Congress are doing for the world’s refuse.
Cat says
if they didn’t tolerate them right on their border and had decimated them (i don’t know my Roman history apparently) we might all be speaking Latin today. But then, while Romans were tough they were no IDF
CowboyUp says
The Romans did let them In Jeff, and that was their undoing. The parallels are interesting.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, the Visigoths used their free pass to make weapons against the Roman fake ban on that, like the American fake ban on illegal invasion by third world scum. Even the Praetorian Guard betrayed the Caesar.
Never trust a foreigner. And NEVER trust the Dirtbagocrat/RINO coalition.

Who says they want “order” in the streets or anyplace else for that matter?
Chaos plays into their plans.

grounds for deportation. He can take his shotgun to war torn Iraq and have a ball
Ugly Sid says
We know that, in general, Muslims are circumspect when it comes to behaving decently around Houses of Worship.
This circumvention is especially significant in the cases of mosques where one misstep around the magazine can send the whole shebang off in a bluewhite flash that will scatter bricks for a mile in each direction.
Ugly Sid says
Circumspection. I swear the rewrites come after the reviews. I do review, for exactly these unannounced word swaps.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, I’ve noticed that, too. It’s extremely annoying.
Ugly Sid says
Justify my incessant monitoring.
Show me one errant post.
William Layer says
If he is of military age he must be shipped back to defend his native land. I am fed up with Americans dying for 3d world dumps while their own nationals come here.
Craigusmaximus says
I have a saying. “why should we let people into our country that are unwilling to fight and die to fix theirs?”
Jeff Bargholz says
The authorities and media wasted no time claiming that Mufid Fawaz Alqaeda the jihadi was motivated by mental illness. The scumbags didn’t even wait until the next day, and Chief Hawkins knows damned well in which direction the shots were fired in because the CSI guys determined that in short order. They always do. The only reason Hawkins would have to lie is because the shots were fired at the Synagogue.
And naturally Mufid hasn’t been charged with attempted murder or possession of a firearm.
“Mufid Fawaz Alkhader.” If that isn’t the name for a retard, I don’t know what is. The fact that he’s an Iraqi should’ve been the first clue he should’n’t have been granted any type of citizenship and the fact that he’s forbidden by law from owning any firearms is the second.
Now we have God only knows how many jihadis like Mufid invading our country thanks to Alzheimer Joe and his handlers. Over 6000 illegal aliens were welcomed across our border yesterday. Coming soon to your neighborhood.

DEPORT THE VERMIN!

Talk about the perfect Molotov cocktail (formulated by our own failed government) for the times in which we live; an Iraq-born immigrant Muslim with a shotgun and a large victimhood chip on his shoulder firing off shots outside a synagogue. Democrat master-level grooming.

He is doing exactly the job our gov. let him in the country to do.
Charles Lee Ray says
The contention that Israel is “occupying” Palestinian land has absolutely no basis in history or international law. Throughout history, there were Arabic Nomads in the region but they never “owned” any land or created any type of government.
The uninformed and Jew haters all incorrectly assert that there was a previous Palestinian “state” (governed by Arabs) that the British granted to the Jews, but in reality, Israel was never a “Muslim state”.
There was a geographic region commonly known as “Palestine” since 134AD. The Roman occupiers applied the name “Palestine” to the land that had previously been known as Judea (land of the Jews). The original “Palestinians” were Jews.
In short, Palestine was only the name of a Roman occupied region (Judea) historically ruled by Jewish kings (like Herod) and controlled by a Jewish religious Caliphate (the Sanhedrin). It was never ruled by a Muslim govenment.
roberta says
He didnt get the message, so I will help him out.
You people claim to love death more than life. You should thank the IDF for their good work on you behalf.
CharlieSeattle says
Deport all Muslims, citizens or not, from the West. Islam is antithetical to everything America and the west stands for.
Islam continues to attack the Christian world for over 1400 years after Christianity was established peacefully in the middle east 600 years before militant and political islam was spawned from hell.

Not just leftists. One might have assumed immigration from Muslim countries after 9/11 would have been restricted. To the contrary, under George W Bush, it *increased*, and under Obama went up even further. (Biden wasn’t satisfied with opening the border. He deliberately airlifted almost 100,000 Afghans to the US, unvetted and with no entitlement to US residency.)
