Malik Faisal Akram, the British Muslim terrorist who was killed after taking a rabbi and three others hostage at a Texas synagogue on Saturday, made a final disturbing phone call to family ranting about “f***ing Jews” and urging others to conduct jihad in America.
Akram held Congregation Beth Israel hostage in Colleyville for over 11 hours before being killed by an FBI SWAT unit.
After making one last distressing phone call to his loved ones, he was immediately taken down.
In the conversation with his brother, Akram declared, according to the Daily Mail, that he would “go down a martyr” and was prepared for what was about to happen, predicting he’d be “coming home in a body bag.”
Audio of the phone call also reveals his anti-Semitism, referring to his targets as “f***ing Jews.”
“We’re coming to f***ing America. F*** them if they want to f*** with us,” Akram says. “We’ll give them f***ing war.”
In what the FBI called a non-antisemitic attack, the Radical Muslim terrorist who took four people hostage inside a Texas synagogue ranted about the “f***ing Jews” in the final phone call he made to his family during the siege.

Which Motive?
Along with revealing the synagogue terrorist’s disturbing motivation, the phone call marks thorough embarrassment for the FBI, who initially referred to the attack as not “specifically” anti-Semitic in nature.
Yet, this is despite the fact that he targeted a synagogue more than 4,500 miles from his house.
At a news conference after the hostages had been set free, the special agent in charge of the Bureau’s Dallas field office, Matthew DeSarno, said Akram was motivated by an issue “not specifically related to the Jewish community.”
Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) accused the FBI of “failing Jewish Americans” with such a ridiculous statement.
Recent events in Texas have been disturbing and horrifying. What’s also disturbing is the FBI’s decision to disregard anti-Semitic behavior from the hostage-taker.
It is failing Jewish Americans, and the FBI must immediately reevaluate its statement.

Senator Lindsey Graham was deeply critical of the FBI’s characterization and noted the synagogue terrorist had demanded the release of jailed female terrorist Aafia Siddiqui – known as Lady Al Qaeda for attempting to kill US military personnel in Afghanistan.
“It is very disturbing to hear from the FBI they do not believe the hostage taker’s demands had anything to do with the Jewish faith,” Graham (R-SC) tweeted on Sunday.
“Apparently the FBI believes the hostage-taker randomly selected a synagogue to demand the release of al-Qaeda operative and facilitator Aafia Siddiqui.”

FBI tracks
Prime Minister Boris Johnson called the situation a “terrible and anti-Semitic act of terrorism.”
For the FBI to revise their original assessment, it took nearly 48 hours.
In a follow-up statement, the bureau referred to the event as “a terrorism-related matter, in which the Jewish community was targeted.”
On Thursday, FBI Director Christopher Wray admitted the attack was “an act of terrorism targeting the Jewish community.”
