Alabama political leaders condemn anti-Semitic terror attack in Colorado: ‘This vile act of violence is unacceptable’

Many of Alabama's political leaders are speaking out after several people were injured in a terrorist attack against a Jewish group in Colorado on Sunday.

Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian illegal immigrant, is facing federal hate crime charges after he allegedly used a flamethrower and Molotov cocktails to set a group of Jewish people on fire, one of them being a Holocaust survivor.

The group was participating in a peaceful walk to call for the release of the hostages who are still in Hamas captivity.

“I strongly condemn the heinous antisemitic terrorist attack on Jewish Americans in Colorado,” Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said. “This vile act of violence is unacceptable. Antisemitic attacks are a growing scourge, & we must unite as a nation to stand in unwavering solidarity with our Jewish friends and neighbors.”

U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) said this is part of a dangerous pattern of violence recently seen against Jews in America.

Britt was referring to two Israeli embassy staff members who were killed by a pro-Palestinian assailant while they were departing an event held at the Capital Jewish Museum in the nation’s capital.

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) said this kind of attack has “no place” in our society.

U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) said he’s “heartbroken” over the attack.

U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) said he was praying for the victims.

U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) said this attack “reminds us of the work in front of us to end antisemitism in our nation.”
