Several events shortly before the midterms saved Democrats from the expected “Red Wave.”  One was the way the FBI and New Jersey law enforcement handled their investigation of one apparent threat in New Jersey against Jews, Christians, and gays.

About one week before the November 8 elections, FBI agents learned that Omar Alkattoul, a high school senior in Sayreville, N.J., had posted on social media, in past tense, that he had attacked a synagogue.  He said he did it “for a really good reason according to myself and a lot of Muslims who have a brain.”

Alkattoul said he hoped “many more attacks like these against the enemy of Allah and the pigs and monkeys will come.”  (Some Islamic scholars teach that the  Koran and Hadith describe Jews as descendants of ancient sinners, who were like “pigs and monkeys.”) 

Alkattoul also wrote about his hatred for gays and Christians.  He said he admired Dylann Roof for killing black Christians in a South Carolina church in 2015.  Alkattoul wrote that he was just as willing to kill people “in a gay nightclub” (as in Orlando, Florida) because “God should burn gay people.”
