This shows the abject inability of MI5 to spot jihadis, which is not surprising, since British officials, like American officials, are in complete denial about what they’re all about.
“Texas synagogue siege: British man who took four hostage in Colleyville ‘had been investigated by MI5,'” by Deborah Haynes, Sky News, January 18, 2022:
The British man who was shot dead after taking four people hostage at a synagogue in Texas had been investigated by MI5, Sky News understands.
The Security Service began looking into Malik Faisal Akram, 44, in the second half of 2020 to assess whether he posed a security threat, a Whitehall source said.
The suspicion that had been raised about him was related to Islamist terrorism.
He had also been in prison three times, between 1996 and 2012, for a range of offences including violent disorder, harassment and theft, Sky News understands.
Akram, who was from Blackburn in Lancashire, took four people, including a rabbi, hostage at the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, on Saturday.
He is said to have demanded the release of Pakistani neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui, who was convicted of trying to kill US army officers in Afghanistan, and is in prison in Texas.
Akram was shot dead by an FBI SWAT team 10 hours into the stand-off and all four hostages were released unharmed.
Sky News understands he arrived in the US via New York’s JFK International Airport shortly before the new year before buying the handgun he used in the siege.
MI5 concluded ‘no credible threat to national security’
Questions have now been raised into how he was able to enter the US with a criminal record and being known to MI5.
Its so-called “short-lead investigation” into Akram concluded that there was no “credible threat to national security at that time”, the source said.
It meant that no longer term investigation or further monitoring of Akram was carried out.
“He never reached the threshold” to justify further investigation, the source said.
The source declined to say how long Akram had been looked into other than to say that the investigation had lasted more than four weeks and either ended in the back half of 2020 or by early 2021….
However while on remand at HMP Liverpool he was reported by the prison imam for “concerning and disruptive behaviour” at Friday prayers.
That last sentence is meant to imply that he is not really a Muslim and that his behavior cannot be ascribed to the influence of Islamic texts and teachings, despite coinciding with their exhortations in every way.

No credible threat? How incompetent is MI5? Do they know anything about TAQIYYA?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
– “Taqiyya permeates almost all the activities and dealings of Muslims with non-Muslim societies…” – former sheikh Sam Solomon
– “Taqiyya is of fundamental importance in Islam. Practically every Islamic sect agrees to it and practices it … We can go so far as to say that the practice of taqiyya is mainstream in Islam, and that those few sects not practicing it diverge from the mainstream … Taqiyya is very prevalent in Islamic politics, especially in the modern era.” – Sami Mukaram, At-Taqiyya fi ‘l-Islam (London: Mu’assisat at-Turath ad-Druzi, 2004)
– “Taqiyya in order to dupe the enemy is permissible.” – from Mukaram, At-Taqiyya fi ‘l-Islam, p. 32
– ‘One who does not lie has no Islamic Faith (Iman)’ . [Muhammad Ibn al-Hanafia in Al-Musanaf, Volume 7 page 642]
– “The Taqiyya is my religion, and the religion of my ancestors … He who doesn’t practice al-Taqiyya, doesn’t practice his religion.” – Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq
– Abd Ibn Hameed, on the authority of al-Hassan, said: “al-Taqiyya is permissible until the Day of Judgment.” Reference 12. Narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari, v7, p102,
– Abu al-Darda, a companion of Mohammed said: “(Verily) we smile for some people, while our hearts curse (those same people).” Reference 13. Narrated in Sahih al-Bukhari, v7, p81

I have met Muslim criminals who express their love of jihad and their love of Islam. They consider Mohammed to be their inspiration. Mohammed did the things they love to do: pillage, theft, rape, enslavement, extortion, selling stolen goods.

The steep price of Europe’s surrender to Islam – The tentacles of the Islamization of Blackburn, England reached all the way to Texas
Among the areas that Ed Husain visited to talk about the Islamization of England in his magnificent book “Among the mosques” is Blackburn. “It has the highest Muslim population outside of London and is the global hub of the Deobandi, the movement that created the Taliban in Afghanistan,” the book says.Whites told him they were afraid to enter “no-go areas” of the city, such as the Whalley Range. Husein found supporters of Pakistan’s blasphemy laws there. “The main street is full of shops for organizing Hajj pilgrimages, restaurants that guarantee the separation of the sexes, Islamic bookstores and a number of mosques”.
There are more than 40 mosques in Blackburn and a quarter of the population is already Muslim, says Daily Mail reporter Neil Tweedie. The whites are leaving. “The Bastwell Ward in Blackburn is a case in point. In 1991, the white British component of its population was 42 per cent. It is now under 7 percent “. There are areas in Blackburn 95 per cent of whose population are ethnic minorities.
The Express reports that “minarets and mosques have replaced church steeples in Blackburn”. And as churches in Europe are empty, churches in Blackburn are now being converted into mosques. The first Blackburn church that was used as a mosque was in 1978.
The Issa brothers, one of the UK’s best-known billionaires, are building another mega mosque with 36-meter-high minarets in Blackburn. Already in 2007 the New York Times spoke of Blackburn as a city where children under ten are divided in half: Christians and Muslims. Not only that, but Jack Straw, one of the leaders of British Labor and foreign minister under Tony Blair, personally asked the Emir of Qatar to intervene in Blackburn to build another mosque. Straw was an elected MP at Blackburn from 1979 to 2015. Politics bears a huge responsibility in this disaster.
Because we’re not crazy, we’re done for.
But why talk about Blackburn again? Because news comes from America that the terrorist who took four Jews hostage in a Dallas synagogue, Malik Faisal Akram, lived in Blackburn. Two other jihadists were arrested in Manchester. The Blackburn Islamic community has posted a chilling funeral announcement for the Dallas terrorist.
These are the fatal consequences of the European surrender to a suicidal multiculturalism. When a society allows such Islamization and ethnic segregation, sooner or later it pays the price. Under these conditions, the end of a city is certain.
Sometimes even the news that one of Blackburn’s “new citizens” hit a Jewish center ten thousand kilometers away is full of portent.. “Can the flapping of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil cause a tornado in Texas?” was the title of a famous lecture by Edward Lorenz in 1962. That’s how it works with Islam. All the West will pay for Europe’s surrender.

An old familiar refrain.
Before Ft. Hood became the scene of mass murder, the sleaze nh was thought by some of the military to be a threat….but others did not.
Numerous mozlums have been put on *lists* and then removed. Numerous mozlums have been put under *watch* by LE, and then taken off the watch. Numerous mozlums have been ordered to be deported due to illegality, but not deported; Numerous mozlums have been arrested, jailed and released…all too numerous to remember individual mozlum names.
These all have in common two things: islam and they committed acts of terror; some on a large scale of mass murder and mayhem, and others raping small children.
We have not seen or heard of the last of these people trained to hate, rape and murder who have been *watched,* *listed* and or *investigated* and determined to not pose a threat.

“Texas synagogue jihadi had been investigated by MI5, seen as posing ‘no credible threat” … quite right, he actually posed an incredible threat to the population of Texas, especially Jews.
