State-sponsored NPR assures us that “Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than U.S.-born Americans, studies find”. The state-sponsored news organization in the UK demonstrates a brilliant method of proving this Scientific fact.
“What we know about synagogue attacker Jihad Al-Shamie” (BBC):
The Manchester synagogue attacker was Jihad Al-Shamie, a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent.
“Syrian descent”? Meaning that his ancestors came to England after the Second Crusade besieged Damascus? (before the country of “Syria” existed)
Al-Shamie, who lived in Prestwich, Manchester, is understood to have entered the UK as a young child and was granted British citizenship in 2006 when he was around the age of 16.
So… Jihad wasn’t born in the UK and then lived in the UK with a UK passport. The article never describes Jihad as an “immigrant” or uses the word “immigrant” or “migrant”. So, to the extent that stabbing and running over Jews on Yom Kippur are crimes in the UK there is no immigrant guilty of those crimes. Jihad was not an “immigrant.”
Separately, would it make sense to grant immediate British citizenship to anyone named “Jihad”?
Finally, how about a movement regarding this noble enricher who was unjustly killed by police with “His name was Jihad; Say His Name” signage? From Grace Lutheran Church in Wisconsin:
Tweak it to “Jihad Al-Shamie. Listen to his name. Say his name aloud. Hear yourself saying his name.” I asked Grok to work on this:
ChatGPT:
Al-Shamie isn’t a great name for that purpose.
I wonder if Grace Lutheran Church, WI has recently had any signs like
Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior
Listen to His name
Say His name aloud
Hear yourself saying His name
For some reason it seems unlikely, perhaps ridiculous to even pose the question.
