This idea comes straight out of his Islamic environment, as I explained here.
“Texas rabbi details standoff: Gunman ‘literally thought that Jews control the world,’” Forward, January 17, 2022:
COLLEYVILLE, Texas — During the nearly 11 hours he was held hostage inside Congregation Beth Israel on Saturday, Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker focused on what he’d learned in security workshops — “Do whatever you have to do to get out,” he said — and on making sure that the gunman saw him and the three other congregants inside the synagogue as human beings.
But Cytron-Walker was able to steal brief moments for reflection, silently praying the Sh’ma and offering the Hashkiveinu: “Grant, O God, that we lie down in peace, and raise us up, our guardian, to life renewed. Spread over us the shelter of your peace.”
As the hours passed and Malik Faisal Akram, the British gunman, became increasingly agitated, Cytron-Walker saw an opportunity to escape. One hostage had been released earlier in the day, and Cytron-Walker told the two men who remained with him to run for a fire door before throwing a chair at the assailant and sprinting after them.
“It was really a matter of looking and waiting for an opportunity where all of us could go and no one would be left behind,” Cytron-Walker said in an interview with the Forward on Monday morning.
Cytron-Walker said that Shabbat morning services had been interrupted by a man knocking on the synagogue’s door asking for help. The rabbi let the man in and made him tea, hoping to learn more about what had brought him to the Reform shul in a quiet Dallas suburb, before returning to lead services.
During the Amidah, a silent prayer, Cytron-Walker had his back turned to Akram and heard a distinctive click.
“I was a little suspicious when I heard that click but I was hoping it wasn’t an actual gun,” Cytron-Walker said. “I went over to him — where he and I could just have a conversation — and that’s when he pulled the gun on me.”
Akram’s first demand was to speak to Rabbi Angela Buchdahl, the leader of Central Synagogue in New York City, who he believed could free Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist imprisoned on terrorism charges at a facility near Beth Israel.
“This was somebody who literally thought that Jews control the world,” Cytron-Walker said. “He thought he could come into a synagogue, and we could get on the phone with the ‘Chief Rabbi of America’ and he would get what he needed.”…

and they all still do
somehistory says
They believe this and that Jews can control sharks, squirrels, birds….but still say that Jews are the worst of people and should all be killed.
They trust Jews with their health care, they trust them not to pull a gun out and murder them on the spot, even those Jews who recognize the dangers from islam and the hatreds taught to all mozlums.
Such contradictions in islam….all made up stuff, inspired by satan the devil.
gravenimage says
All spot on.
Also note that he considered this Rabbi evil, yet realized he could gain entrance by claiming to be homeless and asking for help. He pulled the gun on the Rabbi after he had made him tea.

I can only surmise that the jihadi was a coffee drinker.

Maybe that’s the source of their religious dementia; those from that region have a unique over the top capacity for self delusion.
James Lincoln says
So, according to the feature article:
Texas synagogue jihadi ‘literally thought that Jews control the world’
And I thought muslims believe that allah is “all-powerful and all-knowing”.
Infidel says
Someone should convince them that allah is controlled by the Jooooooooooos. Then maybe, just maybe, we might see some mass apostasy from islam on this pretext ?

Not just evil but an utter moron…not uncommon.

If he is typical of Muhammadans, they are not nearly the fastest hamsters on the wheel of life. Their ideology betrays them.

His fellow terrorists at the terror organization CAIR met with him prior to the attack, encouraging him to “kill Jews by any means necessary”.
JoJo allowed him into the country under the orders of the same terror organization, CAIR.
gravenimage says
There is no doubt that CAIR regularly enables Jihad terror, But I have heard nothing about this Jihadist meeting with CAIR members, nor that he was allowed in because of influence from CAIR. Citations?
Alfredo says
“You will surely find the most bitter towards the believers to be the Jews and the polytheists and the most gracious to be those who call themselves Christian. That is because there are priests and monks among them and because they are no arrogant.”
Qur’an 5:82
And the FBI “will continue to work to find a motive” for the delusional thug who walked into the Beth Israel Synagogue in Colleyville, Texas?
It is truly appalling to see the once trustworthy FBI making such pathetic statements in this day and age.
What are this people thinking? Is there anyone in the entire Federal agency who has bothered to pick up a Qur’an or the a-Haddith or the Sunna?
Or are there ulterior motives behind the astounding ignorance of the FBI?
Could it be that the real purpose is to go after those dangerous grannies showing up at school board meetings to protest the racist CRT, the wretched Critical Race Theory being shoved down innocent White kidd’s throats to make them compliant and servile “Anti-Racists” (?!)
Why are clearly racist thugs such as Malik Faisal Akram with obvious delusions “Jews control the world” being allowed into the US even with a previous police record?
Until there is a thorough house cleaning done at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, this amazing lack of basic Islamic theology the people charged with running the top law enforcement agency in the country will be at a loss trying to find “the motive” driving Islamist thuggery.
OLD GUY says
The uneducated and those who are brain washed from early childhood are the targets and easiest to convert and follow radical ideologies that don’t conform to social norms. Hatred is taught and when taught to the young they often carry that idea for life. Islam goes out of its way to teach hate to their children from a vary young age.

Very true.

Very true.

Sadly, Muslims anti-Jewish propaganda has spread far and wide on social media. They have brainwashed America to believe lies about Jews.
That’s what happens when Americans chose to be intellectually lazy and believe what their Muslim “friends” tell them to believe.
gravenimage says
Certainly, too many Americans have swallowed the tripe about the “poor Palestinians” being oppressed by Jews. Never mind that this is utter tripe.
