Authorities said a man walked into the Jewish agency on Friday and opened fire, killing one woman and injuring at least five others in what they call a hate crime. Naveed Afzal Haq, 30, was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of homicide and attempted homicide, police said.
The gunman, who employees said claimed to be a Muslim angry at Israel, forced his way through the center’s security door after an employee had punched in her security code, said Marla Meislin-Dietrich, a co-worker who was not at the building at the time.
Staff members said they overheard him saying “‘I am a Muslim American, angry at Israel,’ before opening fire on everyone,” Meislin-Dietrich said. “He was randomly shooting at everyone.”
I guess we’ll know more later, but really: what else is there to say?
Remember, this is the religion of peace we’re talking about:

In all fairness, the Council on American-Islamic Relations quickly condemned the attack in a press statement:

I applaud them on their haste to condemn this violent act.
CAIR’s statement here is quite poignant: “We also urge local, state and national law enforcement authorities to step up security measures at synagogues, mosques and other religious institutions of both faiths.”
Not to put too fine a point on it, but fuck CAIR. Nobody’s going into mosques in the U.S. and shooting up Muslims. CAIR can take its weak, self-serving condemnation and cram it sideways into its terrorist-loving ass.
Did you see where Mel Gibson freaked out at his DUI arrest, railing on the joooos!!?
In all fairness my ass…
Other than “condemning” these acts after the fact,what is CAIR doing to stop members of their group from doing this shit?
I’m with David…Fuck CAIR and their religion of peace…
