Saif Tajiran, 33, was arrested and charged with making terrorist threats after he emailed the owner of Houston Jewish Funerals in Bellaire, claiming he wanted to “behead” and “bury” Jews, the Bellaire Police Department reported on Thursday.
While Tajiran was arrested on charges of having made a terroristic threat, the charges been upgraded, and the 33-year-old now faces a hate crime charge, according to police.
“I would like to help bury Jews so speed the process to bury more Jews. Could I get a job? If you hire me I can work fast and I will save you Jews money,” Tajiran allegedly wrote, according to local media. “Think of how great this could be! I will save us more time to bury more [Jews!] If you want I can behead more [Jews] and we can become rich together. You know us [Jews] have no morals, values and that we only care about ourselves! Yeshua Yahweh it will be perfect!”
The email was sent on October 29, according to court documents filed on December 23.
Making the arrest
Tajiran’s phone number was included in the email, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
When police dialed the number, he allegedly continued to claim “he could help to bury Jews and so on,” before hanging up.
Tajiran is held in Harris County Jail on a $50,000 bond, according to court records.
