According to Amy Wasser-Simpson, the vice president for planning and community services for the Jewish Federation, the man had told staff members, "I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel," then began shooting.
One victim died immediately, while three others are in critical condition. Two others will undoubtedly recover.
All victims are women.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, founded in 1926, is an umbrella organization for the local Jewish community. It raises money for Jewish social-welfare organizations, runs youth and adult Jewish educational programs, and engages in efforts in support of Israel. It was a sponsor of the Solidarity with Israel rally Sunday on Mercer Island.
The federation's mission is to ensure Jewish survival and enhance the quality of Jewish life locally, in Israel and worldwide.
Imagine that: a Muslim extremist committing a terrorist attack against women (of them pregnant). The FBI says that it's a single act of lone individual.
Funny how there are thousands of 'craze individuals' from a particular religion.
Does it really matter whether they act alone or not? No, in both cases they commit terrorist attacks based on their 'religion'. Fact is that Muslim extremism, whether organized or individually, is one of the greatest threats facing the West today.
The problem is that we can't simply dismiss it as acts of 'crazy individuals': the source of the problem is much deeper than that.
Note: of course this article is based on the assumption that indeed, the murderer was a Muslim, killing Jews out of hatred towards Israel.
