Michigan AG Dana Nessel Suggests “White Supremacy” to Blame for Texas Synagogue Islamist Attack

On Saturday a Pakistani man entered the Beth Israel Synagogue in Colleyville, Texas and took several members hostage.

The hostage-taker in Texas at a Jewish synagogue claimed he was the brother of a convicted terrorist serving an 86-year sentence. 
The man says he is the brother of Pakistani terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, also known as “Lady Al-Qaeda.”

The Gateway Pundit wrote about Siddiqui back in 2010.

Late last night police stormed the synagogue and killed the terrorist.

On Sunday the FBI identified the hostage-taker as Malik Faisal Akram from Great Britain.

This bit of reality was too much for several prominent leftists in the United States. The FBI is still looking for a motive.

Following the attack, Michigan’s tyrannical Attorney General Dana Nessel suggested on MSNBC that the Pakistani Islamist attack on a Jewish synagogue had something to do with white supremacy.

The Washington Free Beacon reported:

As the hostage situation at a Texas synagogue developed on Saturday, Michigan’s attorney general, Democrat Dana Nessel, raised the possibility that white supremacists were behind the attack.

Appearing on MSNBC on Saturday afternoon, about an hour after it had been reported that the attacker was demanding the release of imprisoned terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, Nessel said her “biggest concern” was that the attack was a “hate crime” or “domestic terrorism,” pointing to “white supremacy organizations.”

“We have seen an incredible rise in rhetoric that is anti-Semitic being trafficked all around the country,” Nessel said, noting “an exponential rise in the formation and the membership of these extremist organizations, many of which are white supremacy organizations, and they traffic in hatred against Jews and other minorities.”

“If it does turn out that is the motivating factor here, it would hardly be a surprise,” Nessel said.
