19-year-old Trevor Bickford stabbed two cops with a machete in Times Square on New Year’s Eve, and authorities are scratching their heads and wondering why. According to the UK’s Daily Mail, “an investigation was underway to pinpoint a motive for the attack.” That investigation, however, may be more the result of officials not wanting to recognize Bickford’s obvious motive, rather than a matter of his real intentions being unclear. Bickford himself left behind a “manifesto” in which he made his perspective and intentions quite clear. But since neither he nor his attack fit the establishment media/Biden regime narrative about the “white supremacist” terror threat, they’re unlikely to get much attention.
The New York Post reported Sunday that when he was arrested after the stabbings, Bickford had a handwritten note in his backpack, asking his family to “please repent to Allah and accept Islam.” The backpack also contained a “collection of religious material” that was unlikely to have been gospel tracts. Bickford wrote: “To my family — specifically, mother — I’m sorry for not having been a good enough son.” But then he gets down to brass tacks: “I fear greatly that you will not repent to Allah. And therefore I hold hope in my heart that a piece of you believes so that you may be taken out to [sic] the hellfire.”
Bickford addressed the same hope to his brother: “To Travis. Of anyone I’ve known who I have felt is closest to faith — it’s you. Of anyone I’ve ever wanted to accept Islam with me — it’s you. Please repent to Allah and accept Islam. I fear for you.” To his other brother, who is reportedly in the U.S. Marine Corps, Bickford wrote: “To Devon, there was a time when we were close, but that time has passed. You have joined the ranks of my enemy. And for that I can give you no kind words – return to Allah.”
The New York Post also noted that Bickford wanted to attack “a uniformed officer” or “someone with a gun,” as he believed such people to be an “enemy of the state.” Which state? The New York Post, as willfully ignorant as the rest of the establishment media, shows no curiosity about this question. But clearly, Trevor Bickford, after he converted to Islam, was no stalwart American patriot. He wanted to target a uniformed officer as an enemy of the Islamic state. He had no kind words for his brother Devon because Devon had joined “the ranks of my enemy,” that is, the U.S. military.
How did Trevor Bickford come to think this way? According to the Daily Mail, he “appeared to be a typical, all-American teenager” who “once made the school honor roll, won awards for his artwork, and was a member of the championship football team in his hometown of Wells, Maine.” Then, however, his father died of a drug overdose, which must certainly have been deeply traumatizing, and Bickford converted to Islam. If authorities really want to understand Bickford’s motive, they should study carefully what they are almost certainly ignoring, such as the questions of how and where this young man converted to Islam, and how he got the idea that his new religion, which non-Muslim authorities all over the Western world assure us is completely peaceful and tolerant, commanded him to consider non-Muslims enemies and violently attack them.
These questions are never asked, much less answered, despite the fact that converts to Islam turning to jihad violence is a distressingly common phenomenon. American intelligence and law enforcement officials don’t want to do anything to give the impression that they don’t accept the dogma that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance that has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism. The fact that converts to Islam such as Trevor Bickford, Allison Fluke-Ekren, Damon Joseph, Corey Johnson, and many, many others have somehow gotten exactly the opposite idea doesn’t ever make authorities pause and reflect upon their core assumptions.
All this willful ignorance accomplishes nothing other than to ensure that the story of Trevor Bickford will recur again and again. The Biden administration’s all-consuming focus on a fictional “white supremacist” terror threat only ensures that those who converted and taught Bickford and others like him will have a freer hand than ever to recruit and train new jihadis. In this case, as in so many others, Biden’s handlers’ willful ignorance and politicization of counterterror activity come at a high human cost.
That jihad-minded Muslim who engaged in two vicious knife jihad attacks against NYPD officers obviously had murderous intentions. Therefore, jihadist attacker is then fated to go to hell when they die because a murder “will not inherit the kingdom of God.” The Bible, Galatians 5:21.[N.K.J.V.] For he is murderer at heart.
Furthermore, about police officers should not be threatened or attacked but respected.
For the Bible informs its reader “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God, Therefore whoever resist will being judgement on themselves.” Romans 13:1,2.
Those jihadist/Muslim was doing even worse than resisting the police, what they did was far horrific , he had viciously attacked them with knives.
They have to answer to God for their evil actions. Romans 14:12.
The standard punishment in Christendom was that they be taken to the flames and there burned until dead.
No, you do not know your bible as you think you do.
The clearly stated punishment for murder is that the one who by his hand sheds the blood of an innocent shall have his wn blood shed by the hand of man.
that means capital punishment is established by God as right and just, and mandatory.
The REAL reason we have so much killing and violence is that we have taken God’s clear word and had it out into the dustbin. When WE as a people repent and beegin again to apply His clear Word, peace will come to our land. The issue is we have to many politicians and rulers who do NOT fear God instead substituing His word with their own strange and ineffective ideas.
Perhaps Christian society is not the best place for Muslims who only see us as infidels.
And Paul says .. “As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord”.
A few years a go some Islamic youth stabbed two police officers in Australia and was going to behead them until one cop shot and killed him. So who was the fool who called Islam the religion of Peace?
Bush43 called the “I hate all things Judeo-Christia” islamics the “religion of peace”.
But to be fair, he wasn’t only sucking-up, so as not to offend the pricks.
It’s The Religion of”PIECE”??????????????
Islam. The most evil philosophy invented by a warmongering woman hating paedophile, slaver, pervert and thief. Muslims are enjoined to emulate him as he is the perfect man
The Federal Bureau of Investigation did have knowledge about that dangerous jihad .minded Muslim but take no action towards that Muslim terrorist shows it it’s useless and incompetent.
In contrast the FBI sure took strong action against the American patriots on January 6,2021 and further malice -filled actions against them in their private peaceful lives and even in their homes after 1/6/21 . In that they lacked no zeal to take action to move against them.
The FBI also shrugged off TWO warnings from the Kremlin concerning the Tsarnaev brothers.
The Tsarnaevs cashed in the extra income from the welfare checks, and visited Chechnya two times. (Nice to know Bostonian’s taxes were being put to good use.)
FBI agents asked the Tsarnaevs if they were terrorists; they replied “No”, and with that . . . the case was closed.
Then, the religion-of-peace bombed the Boston marathon. (FBI reopened the case . . . a day late & a welfare dollar short.)
” the secret apparatus ” by cynthia farahat is what every infidel needs to read . a factual record and recent history of the ” religion of peace .” the left and islam are the same authoritarian double of the same coin . both want to control everyone with no dissent . islam is a cancer , like all cancers it needs to be cut out and treated aggressively otherwise you are dead in the water . the left will always be apologists for islam as they are identical bedfellows .
Too bad NYC have been so adamantly against the practice of normal citizens going about their daily business armed and ready to defend. In my state approximately one in eight adults have their Mother May I Card, about two thirds of those go about armed on a regular basis. That being the standard here, had it been the same in NYC statistically there should have been a fair number of armed citizens in Times Square when this happened. Had the officers, either one, hollered loudly I’ll wager a bit pile of Benjamins that at least one of those would have heard the cry for help and responded. Blade-toting mozzie likely would NOT be facing charges. No he WOULD be facing a just judgement for not only his alignment with islam and their terroristic ways but also his physical attack and shedding of innocent blood in his knife attack on these two officers.
So in a large sense NYC has lost two of their own officers in direct result of disarming private citizens since way back in Sullivan’s Evil Empire called New York City arund 1911. HE is the first to impose “common sense” gun control in that city. He used it to strongly tip the scales in favour of is own “boys” and by that term I do NOT mean simply his police force.
I strongly oppose the publishing of this photo of the perp along with his name. Please don’t feed the beast with this sort of publicity. It has been strongly suggested that such attackers do so for the notoriety they are given, even when they die in the attempt by having their name and image trotted out and all but glorified.
Especially refrain from images such as this one that puts the punk in a decent light, makes him look somewhat attractive. Perhaps find a photo showi, and BIG tough looking LE officers flanking him. ng him from his back, orange onesie poorly fitted hands placed together out in front. flanking him. THAT far more accurately portrays him as he IS.
I do not want to see his name, either. Let him be known only as the cop slasher of Times Square, January 2023. AND the essential infirmation that he was driven by his desire to wage jihad in public authorities.
Sadly we will see more and more of this because the west is acclimated to a certain amount of terrorist murder directed at them. Just like a dog that is used to being beaten, it gets used to it and drags his tail and butt along the ground in anticipation of that next whomp.
The west lives with the dread that there will be a major Islamic terror jihadist attack and we will go through the same motions of looking up down right and left wondering why oh why did this happen.
They never ask Robert Spencer or David Wood or others because they do not want to publicly be told the answer to a question they know the answer to.
These Leftists are just hypocritical cowards.
He did not “fatally kill” the cops neither was he “martyred” in the attack. Does he still get the 72 virgins? Allah, please clarify!!
