“Jihad Before Family”: Colorado Firebomber Declared Allegiance to Terror Before Attack on Jewish Demonstrators

Mohamed Soliman, the Egyptian-born man charged in Sunday’s firebombing attack on peaceful Jewish demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, filmed himself proclaiming that �jihad for Allah�s sake� was more important to him than his own family.

The 45-year-old foreign national, who overstayed a U.S. visa after moving from Kuwait to Colorado, was charged Monday with a federal hate crime. He faces a staggering array of state charges including 16 counts of attempted murder and 18 charges related to the use and attempted use of incendiary devices�crimes that could bring him more than 600 years in prison.

In an Arabic-language video obtained and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Soliman is seen declaring, �I say to my mother, my wife, my children, my brothers, my people: I attest before Allah and before you that Allah, his messenger, and jihad for Allah�s sake are more beloved to me than you and the whole world.�

Soliman then launches into a tirade laced with violent Islamist rhetoric:

�Allah is greater than the Zionists. Allah is greater than America and its weapons… than the F-35 planes… Only Allah has the right to be feared.�

He added that if his family disobeyed him, he might divorce his wife or expel his son�but questioned why Muslims don�t fear Allah, �who says to us dozens of times every day: �Allah Akbar.��

Soliman threw incendiary devices at a group of Jews peacefully demonstrating in support of the release of hostages being held by Hamas. Miraculously, no one was killed. Upon arrest, Soliman allegedly told investigators he �wanted to kill all Zionist people� and said he �would do it again.�

Federal agents found a container near the scene containing at least 14 additional firebombs, suggesting Soliman was planning further attacks.

The hate-fueled assault comes amid a rising tide of anti-Semitism across the U.S., following Hamas�s October 7 massacre and a wave of anti-Israel demonstrations nationwide. Prior to the Boulder attack, two Israeli embassy staffers�Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim�were murdered in Washington, D.C., by a gunman with a record of antisemitic views.

As of Tuesday, federal immigration authorities have detained Soliman�s family, who are now facing expedited removal from the U.S., according to the Department of Homeland Security.

  1. I don’t get it. When a terrorist perpetrates an attack against Jews in the USA his family faces the possibility of deportation, but when a terrorist perpetrates an attack against Jews in Israel, that option is not on the table?
