Police officers arrested Muslim woman, Ruba Almaghtheh, 34, who they labeled a “terrorist,” after she drove her car into a building that she thought was a Jewish school. However, the building is used by the Black Hebrew Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge which has been labeled an anti-Semitic hate group.
FOX 59 (h/t Marvin W) She was arrested on a preliminary charge of criminal recklessness. According to a police report obtained by FOX59/CBS4, police were called to the building around 11:30 Friday night to investigate a hate crime. Officers said Almaghtheh backed her car into the building while several adults and children were inside.
Almaghtheh told officers she was watching news coverage of the Israel-Hamas war on television and decided to plan an attack on the building because she was offended by the “Hebrew Israelite” symbol on the front of the building.
Police said Almaghtheh passed by the building a couple times and called it the “Israel school.” Police said she made reference to “her people back in Palestine” and told officers, “Yes. I did it on purpose.”
However, the Anti-Defamation League defines the Israelite School of Universal and Practical Knowledge as an “extreme and antisemitic” sect of the Black Hebrew Israelites. The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated the Black Hebrew Israelites as a hate group.

There’s poetic justice going on here it seems.
Also, I don’t think it’s good idea to link Black Hebrew video.
They might notice this site.

If America doesn’t start profiling Muslims right now, it better brace itself for another 9/11 like attack.
It isn’t difficult. Just monitor their social media accounts. Tap their phone numbers. Any leads, just deport the potential terrorists to the country of their origin. Or the internment camps where they belong.

Deport? They can start plotting from afar then.
Best to lock up and monitor communications.
Works with criminals here.
Might hit a funding issue though.
