Colorado terror suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman has been caught on video ranting before the antisemitic firebombing attack, declaring his beliefs that “God is greater” than “Zionists” and “America.” The footage, which was filmed in Boulder before the attack, was published by a pro-Hamas Telegram channel and features Soliman making several inflammatory statements.
In the video, Soliman can be heard saying, “God is greater than everything. God is greater than the Zionists. God is greater than America and its weapons. God is greater than the F35 planes.” The footage, which appears to have been self-filmed by Soliman, shows him expressing his extremist views and justifying his actions.
The 45-year-old Egyptian national has been charged with attempted murder, assault, and possession of an incendiary device in connection with the attack that wounded 12 people at a march calling for the release of Israeli hostages. Additionally, Soliman is facing federal hate crime charges for his actions.
In the video, Soliman questions why there is silence about injustice and expresses his frustration with the perceived humiliation and degradation that he believes his community faces. His hate-fueled rhetoric is alarming and sheds light on the mindset of individuals who carry out violent attacks based on extremist beliefs.
The fact that Soliman filmed himself before committing the terror attack adds another layer of disturbing insight into his mindset and motivations. The footage serves as a chilling reminder of the dangers posed by individuals who espouse extremist ideologies and are willing to act on them.
It is crucial for law enforcement and authorities to continue monitoring and addressing radicalization and hate speech to prevent similar attacks in the future. The case of Mohamed Sabry Soliman serves as a stark reminder of the importance of combating extremism and protecting communities from the threat of violence based on hateful beliefs.
