(UPDATE) Chicago Jihad Attack: ‘Allahu Akbar’ Shooter Targets Jewish Man on Way to Synagogue, Media and Police Whitewash Islamic Threat (video)

Update: October 28, 2024

“Authorities filed charges today against Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi for the shooting Saturday that targeted a Jewish member of our community as he walked to synagogue on Shabbat. The offender was charged with 14 felony counts, including six counts of attempted murder in the first degree. Notably, and despite evidence that seems to suggest an antisemitic motive for the shooting, authorities did not file hate crime charges.” – Debra L. Silverman

In a terrifying Islamic attack that has shaken Chicago’s Jewish community, a 39-year-old Jewish man was ambushed and shot in West Rogers Park as he made his way to synagogue. Captured on RING Doorbell footage, the audio and partial video reveal chilling details: the shooter shouted the Islamic war cry, “Allahu Akbar,” immediately after opening fire in a heavily orthodox Jewish neighborhood at 9:30 am, leaving little doubt about the intent and nature of the crime.

In the following video, you can hear the gunman scream “Allahu akbar” at the 45-second mark.

The video evidence paints a terrifying picture. After the initial gunshot and cry of “Allahu Akbar,” the footage records a prolonged exchange of gunfire with police. As reported by FOX 32, the suspect’s actions included firing recklessly even at paramedics on the scene.

FOX’s coverage acknowledges the shooting’s unsettling nature, with one seemingly random neighborhood resident remarking, “It feels like a hate crime.” Yet, despite this acknowledgment, the report curiously omits the crucial detail of the shooter’s shout of “Allahu Akbar,” a detail critical to understanding the Islamic motivation behind this violent jihad attack.

The details surrounding the attack suggest that the Jewish man, targeted on his way to synagogue, could have been visibly identifiable by his attire, a fact noted by a police spokesman when pressed by a reporter. This omission by FOX 32 has led to frustration and alarm within the community, who see this as yet another example of Western media’s growing reluctance to criticize and recognize the inherent jew-hatred in Islam.

Rather than fully report the evidence, mainstream outlets appear increasingly to prioritize narratives that obscure the role of Islamic motivations in jihad attacks targeting Jews. As one local resident interviewed by FOX noted, the attack “doesn’t feel like a robbery.”

The incident, including its unsettling aftermath, is being actively investigated by the Chicago Police Department and the Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA), with the crime scene taped off for nine hours as evidence was gathered. Yet, the lack of transparency and reluctance to discuss the potential Islamic motive explicitly show a deliberate bias and cover-up in the investigation and the media’s role.

It is hardly surprising, given the long history of Hamas-linked CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) infiltrating both police departments and media channels. CAIR has established itself within various institutions under the guise of civil rights advocacy, exerting influence that often shapes the narrative surrounding Islamic-related incidents. With its controversial affiliations and ideological motives, CAIR’s presence within these institutions raises serious concerns about impartiality and transparency, especially in cases like this one. This infiltration enables a controlled narrative that minimizes any criticism of Islamic motives, contributing to the disturbing pattern of selective reporting.

This type of selective reporting has become disturbingly familiar, echoing Orwell’s ominous vision of a ‘Ministry of Truth’—a force that manipulates facts to protect certain narratives while silencing others. In today’s Western media landscape, evidence that reveals uncomfortable truths about Islam is buried, ensuring that genuine criticism and open discussion are sidelined.

For Chicago’s Jewish community, this silence is more than frustrating—it is dangerous. The failure to highlight the “Allahu Akbar” Islamic war cry in reports is another erasure of evidence that could foster greater awareness of the risks they face. As attacks on Jews grow more frequent, it is crucial that the full truth be told to prevent future violence and ensure that all communities are held accountable for such crimes.

Consider the uproar if this attack had been reversed—a Muslim man ambushed on his way to the mosque by a Jewish assailant shouting hate-filled threats. The media would undoubtedly seize on the story, flooding international news with round-the-clock coverage and condemning it as a glaring symbol of Islamophobia. Politicians would scramble to issue statements, community leaders would call for sweeping change, and the incident would be elevated as a clear case of religiously motivated violence. Yet, in the aftermath of this brutal assault on a Jewish man in Chicago, the same media remains disturbingly quiet, downplaying or outright ignoring the shooter’s cry of “Allahu Akbar.” This glaring double standard does more than reveal a bias—it signals to the Jewish community that their lives, their safety, and their suffering are secondary, even expendable when pitted against the reluctance to confront Islamic violence.
