A suspect has been arrested following a disturbing attack involving fire on pro-Israel demonstrators.
A video released by the Middle East Media Research Institute showcases Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old man from Egypt, passionately expressing his devotion to Islam. He goes so far as to declare his love for jihad, claiming it surpasses his love for his mother and child.
He stated, “Allah, His messenger, and jihad are held in higher regard than you and all of humanity.”
“Allah is greater than anything else. Greater than the Zionists. Greater than America and its arms. Even greater than the F-35. So why should we fear those who hold less power than Allah?”
His use of “Zionist” aligns with remarks he allegedly made during talks with investigators after his arrest.
He compared his family dynamics to a hypothetical situation: “If I directed my wife and son to follow certain commands and they refused, I might lose my temper. Maybe I’d consider divorce or even cast my son out. But what about Allah, who reminds us repeatedly throughout the day?”
Soliman was apprehended after allegedly launching a Molotov cocktail at a pro-Israel protest while having planned the assault for a year. Reports indicate that 15 individuals, along with a dog, were injured in the incident.
Christy Noem from the Homeland Security Section mentioned that Soliman’s wife and their five children were taken into custody on Tuesday and are being processed for deportation.
“We’re looking into what they knew about this terrible act, whether they were aware or if they supported him in this,” she clarified.
