Imam Abdul Alim Musa, the Director of Masjid Al-Islam in Washington DC, said in a Friday sermon that was uploaded to the As-Sabiqun DC YouTube channel on January 21, 2022, that the Colleyville, Texas synagogue hostage crisis was “arranged” by the Zionists in order to give Muslims a bad name. He said that 9/11 was also a Zionist plot, and he argued that Muslims do not have the ability to carry out such attacks.
Abdul Alim Musa: “Just think, the other day some fellow that they call a Muslim had something go down in [Colleyville,] Texas. Now anyone who has been there more than two or three years has to know that that is stuff arranged by the Zionists.
“Why? They give us a bad name. When you look at the World Trade Center… When you look at all those things that have happened here, in America, you have to look at the Zionists. Who had the ability to do it? The Muslims didn’t have the ability to do no World Trade Center. They couldn’t have pulled anything like that off.
“But why did they hide 28 pages of their investigation about Saudi Arabia? Because Saudi Arabia, the United States, some of the Emiratis, all of them work together to support the Zionist entity – what they call the Israeli state. They are against us, because that’s how they move”.
Imam Musa’s notorious attempt of diverting the blame on Zionists is the latest example of how radical Muslim and jihadists always try to hide or justify their crimes. Through this statement, he not only has made foul attempt of saving the Islamist jihadists, he also has attempted to twist the actual history of 9/11. In Koran, it is stated that Muslims should wage war against Jews and Christians and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony.
We already know by now, Texas synagogue attacker Faisal Malik Akram was a member of Tablighi Jamaat, which is known in the world as the antechamber of terrorism. While recently Saudi Arabia has imposed ban on the activities of this dangerous organization, activities of Tablighi Jamaat have been continuing in most of the Muslim nations as well as India, the United States, Britain and the European countries.
Tablighi Jamaat also has activities in countries such as Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and the former Soviet republics, thus posing gravest threat to national security of those nations.
Although the US authorities are reluctant in taking action against the activities of Tablighi Jamaat, Malik Faisal Akram, the Pakistani-born British national and the hostage-taker at the synagogue in Texas was found to be a member of Tablighi Jamaat. Akram’s family hails from Jhelum district in Punjab province in Pakistan and the family emigrated to the United Kingdom nearly five decades ago.
Faisal Malik Akram took four people as hostages at the Texas synagogue, which was finally termed as an act of terror by Joe Biden. In light of this incident, a counterterrorism expert affiliated with the American Enterprise Institute said Pakistan has once again emerged as a terror-sponsoring country, which poses serious threat to national security of the foreign nations, including the United States.
According to Indian newspaper the Hindustan Times, Faisal Malik Akram was a member of Tablighi Jamaat and had travelled abroad for activities related to the organization.
Akram’s father is a well-known member of the Muslim community in London. His family has political links through Malik Irfan, a Councillor linked to the British Labor Party.
According to media reports, Akram had previously served as the head of the Rondell street Islamic Centre in London, also known as Reza Masjid [Reza Mosque]. The mosque mainly attracts Muslims of Pakistani origin. He also prayed at the Eldorado Mosque, where largely the congregation is Gujarati Muslims.
A vocal supporter of radical Islam, sharia and jihad, Akram has also participated in demonstrations supporting pro-Palestine agenda and Guantanamo Bay prisoner rallies. He has been a diehard supporter of Palestinian Arab terrorist activities as well as notorious activities of Hamas.
Members of his family as well as the Pakistani Muslim community in Britain are actively participating in anti-Semite propaganda and Jew hatred. Members of the Pakistani Muslim community as well as Tablighi Jamaat portray Israel as an “evil nation” while they also brand Jews and Zionists as “apes, pigs” and “enemies of Allah”.
According to media reports, Faisal Malik Akram sought the release of Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist and also known as ‘Lady Al Qaeda’ serving a more than 80-years sentence in the United States. The conviction of Siddiqui in 2010 had sparked outrage in Pakistan. Later, the Pakistani Senate had passed a resolution in 2018, calling her “Daughter of the Nation” and urged the government to take “concrete steps” for her repatriation.
While the news of Siddiqui’s arrest passed with little notice in the US, her conviction led to widespread demonstrations in Pakistan and to demands that Pakistani authorities suspend the delivery of supplies for the war effort in Afghanistan.
“Siddiqui isn’t well known in the US, but in Pakistan, she’s a big name – many views her as an innocent victim. Also, at a point, Islamic State (ISIS) had demanded that she be released in exchange for ISIS captives”, Michael Kugelman, the deputy director of the Asia program at Washington’s Wilson Center, wrote on Twitter.
