The United Kingdom’s justice system has failed once again.
On Thursday a terrorist drove his car into a crowd of people outside of a synagogue in Manchester and proceeded to go on a stabbing rampage.
Initial reports reveal two of the people he stabbed died shortly after being attacked.
The attacker has since been identified as Jihad al-Shamie and court records reveal he was out on bond after being accused of rape.
The Guardian reported more on the attacker’s criminal history:The Manchester synagogue terrorist has been identified as Jihad Al-Shamie – a Syrian-born Muslim.
He was given British citizenship in 2006 and repaid our hospitality with slaughter.
Sadly, there are countless others like him in the UK.pic.twitter.com/rhIOlB3jma![]()

The Manchester synagogue terrorist was on police bail for an alleged rape when he carried out the attack, the Guardian can reveal.
Jihad al-Shamie, 35, was being investigated over an alleged sexual attack which it is understood was said to have taken place earlier this year.
The Syrian-born attacker is also believed to have criminal convictions, although he was not on the radar of counter-terrorism officers or of MI5.
Shamie was shot dead by armed police after killing a Jewish man and seriously injuring several others when he attacked the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in north Manchester on Thursday.
Counter-terrorism police and security services are working to piece together the background of the attacker, who is believed to have chosen the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur, to target worshippers.
The Guardian has been told that Shamie was not known to counter-terrorism agencies and had not been referred to the anti-radicalisation scheme Prevent but he had been prosecuted for criminal matters.
It is not known when exactly the alleged rape took place but at the time of the synagogue attack Shamie was on bail while under investigation by Greater Manchester police.
One source said Shamie had criminal convictions for lesser offences not related to terrorism.
“He was on nobody’s radar for terrorism but he definitely had a criminal record, though nothing to suggest he was going to do anything like this,” said a source.
Police are examining whether Shamie was responsible for a death threat sent to a former Conservative MP in 2012. The email to John Howell came from someone calling themselves “Jihad Alshamie” and said: “It is people like you who deserve to die.”
Howell, who stood down as MP for Henley in 2024, said he did not know if it was the same person and he did not feel the police had taken the death threat seriously enough at the time.
A news report from 2012 said Howell was believed to have been targeted over his support for Israel. “The last thing I want to appear as is a drama queen, but you have to take seriously a threat when it says ‘I would like to see you dead,’” Howell said in 2012, in remarks reported by the Jerusalem Post.
“It is not just a question of me, it is my family and my staff. All it takes is one person out there who is weird enough, with a distorted view of life, to make an attempt to carry this out.” He said Thames Valley police had provided him with “extremely good security advice”.

Manchester residents Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, were killed in the attack. At least one of them was accidentally shot by armed police, as was one of the wounded.
Investigators are also looking into whether Al-Shamie is behind menacing emails sent to conservative politician John Howell in 2012 after he defended Israel’s right to protect itself.
One of the emails the politician received came from a “Jihad Alshamie” who told him: “It is people like you who deserve to die,” the Telegraph reported.
