Prior to executing an anti-Semitic attack at a Pro-Israel rally in Boulder, Colorado, Mohamed Sabri Soliman created a foreboding video manifesto. In it, he proclaims that “Allah is greater” than both “Zionist” influences and “America,” asserting that “Jihad for Allah” is more dear to him than his family or the entire world.
This self-recorded footage, made before the alleged incident, was later shared on Prohama’s Telegram channel and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
In the video, Soliman, wearing a hat and shirt consistent with what was seen in surveillance footage from the attack site, discusses his religious allegiance and the mindset of extremists. He states while driving, “Allah is bigger than anything… bigger than the Zionist, bigger than America and its weapons, bigger than the F-35 plane.” His rhetoric grows more intense as he questions why people fear earthly powers rather than divine authority, asking, “So why do we fear not Allah himself, but those who are beneath Allah?”
Using a personal analogy, he compares everyday family discipline to what he interprets as God’s order in Islam. He mentions, “If I told my wife and son to do something every day, and they didn’t, I’d be upset. Perhaps I’d divorce my wife or send my son away,” before continuing with his extremist views.
He repeatedly invokes “Allah Akbar,” arguing that true respect and fear should come from divine authority, not Western democracies. “Remember, Allah is greater than everything,” he insists.
In the concluding segment of the video, Soliman expresses that loyalty to jihad surpasses all other relationships, including familial bonds. He directly states, “I tell my mother, my wife, my children, my brothers, my people… Jihad is loved by me more than you and the whole world.”
The recent attack at Park Street Mall in Boulder resulted in multiple injuries and is now under investigation by local police and federal authorities, including the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI. Law enforcement agencies have confirmed that Soliman is a foreigner without legal status.
He has been accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at participants in the pro-Israel rally, which aimed to support hostages held by Hamas. Witnesses and video evidence show the attackers shouting “endozionists” and “Palestine is free.”
In response to the attacks, President Trump condemned the incident as “terrorism” and linked it to the Biden administration’s “open border” policies, calling for immediate deportation of “illegal and anti-American extremists.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the act as a “malicious terrorist attack,” warning that such actions would fuel global anti-Semitism and result in a “bloody honor loss on the Jewish state and its people.”
Criticism is mounting regarding how mainstream media and some far-left activists may have fostered an environment hostile toward Jews through the spread of misinformation and the demonization of Israel.
