The FBI’s Special Agent in Charge insisted that the whole thing had nothing to do with the Jewish community. The AP and the rest of the media quickly picked up that meme with misinformation headlines like, “FBI: Hostage taker was not focused on Jewish community.”
Someone on CNN insisted that the synagogue had been targeted because it was close to the airport.
But taking Jewish hostages to trade for Aafia Siddiqui was not a new idea. (Hat tip: Elder of Ziyon.)
Karachi-born Siddiqui is a cause celebre of the terrorist world with pan-Islamic groups like Al Qaeda and Islamic State have sought her release and US journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff were beheaded by Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi’s fanatics in revenge.
Known as Lady Al Qaeda, Siddiqui was married to the nephew of the 9/11 prime accused and Pakistan national Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. For the past 15 years, pan-Islamic jihadist groups have made attempts to secure the release of Siddiqui, who attended MIT and earned a doctorate from Brandies University.
The Texas hostage situation clearly shows that Al Qaeda is alive and kicking despite all the statements to the contrary by the Biden administration and the US intelligence. The fact is that Indian Mujahideen co-founder and Pakistan based Riyaz Bhatkal, as per NIA chargesheet on Yasin Bhatkal, had met Al Qaeda operatives in 2013. Yasin Bhatkal, who was picked up by Intelligence Bureau from Nepal in August 2013, told his interrogators that Riyaz had told him to kidnap Jews from Pushkar mela in Rajasthan and demand the release of Aafia Siddiqui.
This was a popular plan.
Siddi Bapa also allegedly told NIA interrogators that he and some of his men were working on a plot to take “foreign Jews” hostage at the time of his arrest. He claims to have received orders to take Jewish hostages sometime after executing the 2013 Hyderabad bombings.
Could there be an Indian Mujahadeen connection here? One thing is for certain, the Biden administration won’t tell us.

Lady my butt. She’s an Islamic barbarian.
As for getting degrees from MIT and Brandeis, this to me is dispositive once again of how the Islamic world will use the many achievements of the Western world with the ultimate design of destroying the Western world. And in “first place” here? Why, using Western freedom in order to destroy Western freedom.
Parasite you are, Islam. Indubitably. And all part of the reason (but only part) why I for one am entirely, thoroughly, completely, overwhelmingly, utterly (is this enough adverbs yet?) fed up with Islam. ALL OF IT.
There is not a single feature about Islam that the best of the West could still profit by. And yet there are many features about Islam that remain so injurious to the West (e.g., an animosity to real liberty) that the continued exculpation of Islam by any Westerner is indicative of foolhardiness and massive ignorance at best, deceitfulness and complicit malevolence at worst.
Ah, for the days of Urban II, John Sobieski and Winston Churchill. We need to revive them, both such days and men. The very survival of the West depends upon it—and I am not exaggerating here. Screw Islam.
RP says
It also shows how far Western Accademia have been infiltrated by such people and how they intend to change the of western thinking??
mortimer says
Aafia Siddiqui is a perfect example of the Islamic Stockholm syndrome (also known as ‘capture bonding’).
She receives no personal benefit from jihadism or from Islamic misogyny, but she brainwashes herself to believe in these counterproductive ideas which destroy women and children lives and cause only massive suffering for both Muslim families and the dirty kufaar who are the ultimate targets of JIHADISM.
Aafia Siddiqui and other delusional Muslimahs work to oppress women, but they cannot see the damage they are doing.

this whole terror attack reminds of the murder of Leon Klinghoffer, He was an American Jew and was murdered by mozlum terrorists….because they wanted other terrorists released.
They hijacked a cruise liner…not their original plan…and threatened the hostages aboard, wanting to trade them for other terrorists that they wanted released.
This is an MO of mozlum terrorists. Hijacking planes, ships, taking over a church or synagogue and threating hostages, murdering, and demanding their wishes be met. This terror attack in Texas was just the latest in a long string of terror.
If Mr. Klinghoffer was the victim today, what would the media and the LE be saying about his murderers? Would the connection to islam be mentioned?
Infidel says
This murder happened in the 80s – I forget the exact year, but even then, it wasn’t described as an act of jihad. Rather, it was described as an act of Palestinian terrorism, and the 2 countries Libya and Syria were loudly suspected. This was during the Lebanese war b/w Israel, PLO, Syria w/ Lebanese militias being caught in b/w
Also note that neither Syria nor Libya were perceived as islamic, since they were allies of the Soviets, while the Saudis, Egyptians and others were perceived as our allies. At that time, due to the communist aspect of things, it was even harder to draw a line b/w islam and any terrorist activity: all that started probably w/ the first WTC bombing involving Ramzi Yousef
somehistory says
But, he was murdered because he was “American and Jew” which is why they chose him. They made everyone identify themselves and they wanted to target America and Israel, so they chose him to murder.
would this have been hidden if it happened now? Would they claim that it didn’t have anything to do with his being an American Jew, whether they named islam or not? I think they would cover it up, just as they are what happened in Texas.
CogitoErgoSum says
I remember this. It was during the hijacking of the cruise ship Achille Lauro in 1985. Poor Mr. Klinghoffer was 69 and in a wheel chair when the terrorists shot him and then thew his body overboard. The leader of the terrorists responsible died from heart disease (or so says the U.S. government) in 2004 after being captured by U.S. troops in Iraq in 2003.
somehistory says
Yes, they wanted Mr. Klinghoffer to quiet, but he was a bold guy. He would have been murdered in any case, as they chose him to die.
I didn’t know about the capture and death. He had a *diseased heart* alright. Diseased by islam. Good riddance.
Walter Sieruk says
That female jihadist wasted all her energy , effort time and even throw away her life all for a terrible cause ,which is engaging in the violent ,bloody and murderous jihad which is based on the false religion of Islam.
The Bible instructs “. Do not stand up for a bad cause,..” Ecclesiastes 8:3. [N.I.V.]
There is the Bible based Christian site which replies .to the many claims made by the apologists and propagandists for Islam. It’s answering-islam.org
Sashland says
“it was not specifically related to the Jewish community” is tecnically correct: if by “not”, he actually meant “not only”.
Of course, this devout muslim terrorist was deeply aware that killing of Jews was permitted without penalty.
His conscience would be clear.
In fact, he would have been proud to be considered a ‘superior’ martyr if sucessful.
Yet, it did not have to be only a Jew; other targets for sacrifice are also considered appropriate according to islam’s devout believers and religious leaders.
The FBI might more clearly say: “He did not chose Jews as victims only becasue they were Jewish; he chose non-muslim Jewish victims becasue HE was muslim.”
(Oh, and maybe just a little bit of Jews having a special place in the hearts of muslims…).
Defund the FBI.
All FBI are Fibbers.
revereridesagain says
This alleged “hostage exchange” plot is bizarre even for the slaves of Allah. What makes them think that the government would free and exchange terrorist prisoners such as Siddiqui?
That’s not a rhetorical question.
Do they really have reason to believe that the Biden regime is so spineless and treacherous that they would do such a thing? I’m sure a lot of us do, but do they?
somehistory says
Perhaps they got the idea from “bo” releasing Gitmo terrorists for the bergdahl and know that he is pulling biden’s strings. Perhaps.

It is the standard thuggery that has brought results for some 1400 years.
