An armed gunman is currently holding congregants hostage at the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, the Fort-Worth Star-Telegram reports. A police SWAT team has surrounded the building and ordered residents in the vicinity to evacuate their homes. The beginning of the incident was reportedly captured on a livestream of a service where the gunman entered and began yelling about religion. National Zero will update this story as it develops.
Well that’s not particularly helpful.
“Yelling about Allah,” would have been more appropriate.
In any case, nobody appears to have been shot, and this homeless muslim man appears to be mentally ill. It’s not really clear why he did this, but we’ll keep you posted if any habbenings occur.
UPDATE: How does he keep getting away with it?

UPDATE:
Muhammad Siddiqui, the brother of an al-Qaeda terrorist being held in Texas, has reportedly stormed into a Dallas synagogue while armed and has taken hostages while demanding his sibling’s release.
The crisis situation is unraveling at Congregation Beth Israel, a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The gunman reportedly entered the synagogue during Saturday service and took at least four hostages, including a rabbi.
The suspect also claims explosives have been planted at the scene.
Apparently, the services were being live streamed to Facebook when the suspect entered.
The suspect is demanding to have his sister, Aafia Siddiqui, freed, an official told ABC News.
This woman has been incarcerated at Carswell Air Force Base near Forth Worth due to alleged ties to al-Qaeda. She was convicted of assault and attempted murder of a U.S. soldier in 2010 and sentenced to 86 years in prison, the outlet reports.
According to The Guardian, Aafia Siddiqui made anti-Semitic statements during her trial:
During a typically stormy hearing last Thursday, Siddiqui interrupted the judge, rebuked her own lawyers and made strident appeals to the packed courthouse. “I am boycotting this trial,” she declared. “I am innocent of all the charges and I can prove it, but I will not do it in this court.” Previously she had tried to fire her lawyers due to their Jewish background (she once wrote to the court that Jews are “cruel, ungrateful, back-stabbing” people) and demanded to speak with President Obama for the purpose of “making peace” with the Taliban. This time, though, she was ejected from the courtroom for obstruction. “Take me out. I’m not coming back,” she said defiantly.
Seriously though I have no idea if she attempted to murder a US Serviceman. If true that’s obviously indefensible, but attempted murder is not murder, and has gay’op potential. Especially when you get 86 years for attempted murder.
This story also appears to be somewhat contradictory to the previous story. This guy was wondering homeless for 14 days, but now appears to be doing this for very specific purposes?
Police confirmed the same to WFAA, which reported that “Colleyville PD spokeswoman Sgt. Dara Nelson confirmed” that “no one has been injured inside of Congregation Beth Israel at this time.”
UPDATE:
A few days ago Emma Watson stiffed us on an interview because of her “shooting schedule.” She wrote some chuckle emojis in her text to me, which I passed off as simply a girly affectation.
However a reader has put two and two together and it appears that Emma may have staged a false flag operation here.
UPDATE:
“We want to make it very well known that the hostage-taker is NOT Dr Aafia Siddiqui’s brother, who is not even in the same region where this horrible incident is taking place,” said a joint statement from the Free Dr Afia campaign and the Houston branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair).
The Jerusalem Post also reported that Muhammad Siddiqui’s lawyer has insisted he is not the man who took hostages Colleyville. The attacker’s reference to his “sister” could be a generic term for someone he believes shares his ideals, equivalent to “comrade”.
A snapshot of the terrorist, covered in the blood of murdered jews has surfaced.
Emma Watson false flag op all but confirmed.
Godspeed, Muslim man.
