British-Syrian al-Shamie rammed his car into the gates of the synagogue as congregants gathered for morning prayer. After stabbing 66-year-old Melvin Cravitz to death, al-Shamie attempted to storm the synagogue. In a second sermon, the imam asks Allah to “deal with the Zionists” and the “Zionist aggressors” and “seize them with the seizing of the Mighty.” The sermon also asks God to “grant victory to Islam and cherish the Muslims, humiliate polytheism and the polytheists.” Our Lord, God, deal with the Zionist aggressors, for they cannot escape Your power.”
