At 9:30 PM, partygoers in Times Square wearing purple Planet Fitness hats heard a bang.
The ball hadn’t dropped, another Jihadi had. Along with three cops.
Trevor Bickford, 19, had taken the train down from Wells, Maine: a town of less than 10,000 souls. Maine isn’t a big hub of Islamic terrorism so the local teens who convert to Islam have to go to more exciting places to kill infidels in the name of Allah and earn their fellow 72 virgins.
In November, Xavier Pelkey, 19, of Waterville, Maine, a city of 15,000, was indicted for joining ISIS and plotting to kill some Shiites at a mosque in Chicago.
Pelkey and three other Jihadists intended to “enter the Shia mosque and separate the adults from the children, then murder the adults”. Then they planned to move on to a synagogue.
The plot to massacre Muslims in a mosque (never mind Jews) received virtually no coverage in the media because while Xavier is white, he’s a Muslim who had changed his name to Abdullah or ‘Servant of Allah’. Xavier’s two other pals, an unnamed 15-year-old in Chicago and a 17-year-old in Kentucky, had assembled hand painted ISIS flags and homemade bombs.
Xavier told them he wanted to be a martyr “and die while fighting in the cause of Allah”.
Trevor might have been jealous that Xavier/Abdullah beat him out by a month as the first ISIS terrorist out of Maine and took the train to New York City for what must have seemed like the biggest and juiciest target: the massive crowds gathered in Times Square to cheer the ball drop.
Muslim terrorists had previously hit public celebrations. And while Trevor was only armed with a machete, in a crowd that big, he probably figured that he couldn’t fail to kill someone.
Like Islam, there was nothing new about Trevor’s idea. His is the third Muslim knife attack on NYPD officers.
In September, Dzenan Camovic was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
The Bosnian illegal alien had approached police officers on Church Avenue who were trying to keep 2020’s Black Lives Matter looters at bay, stabbed a Haitian police officer in the neck, seized his gun and shot at an Indian-American police officer while yelling, “Allahu Akbar”.
Just in case there was any ambiguity, he later explained that, “religion made me do it”.
Despite the ISIS materials on his devices, his lawyers explained that “he has been struggling with untreated mental health issues” and “comes from a hard-working, loving family”.
Thirty years from now, Dzenan is due to be deported back to Bosnia to join his loving family.
There was a notable lack of interest in a white man stabbing a black man in the neck during the year of Black Lives Matter because the white man was Muslim. The message is that it’s okay for white men to attack black men as long as they shout, “Allahu Akbar” first.
It’s also okay for a white man to plot a mosque massacre as long as he converts first.
Before Trevor or Dzenan, Zaim Farouq Abdul-Malik went after four cops with a hatchet in 2014. Born Zale Thompson, he was a convert, like Trevor, but unlike the Maine teen, was black.
Abdul-Malik managed to strike one officer in the head and slash at the arm of another officer before discovering that shouting about Allah didn’t make him bulletproof. He was inspired by Alton Nolen, another black Muslim convert, who demanded that other employees call him Mohammed, and tried to behead two white women at an Oklahoma meat processing plant.
He only succeeded in beheading one which falls far short of the original Mohammed’s record.
The black nationalist convert, the Bosnian illegal alien and the Maine teen don’t have much in common except their religion and their determination to kill New York City cops for Allah.
Two of the three terror attacks were perpetrated by Muslim converts. That’s in line with the growing role of Americans inducted into Islam as the foot soldiers in the Jihad. Converts have always been viewed as dumb and expendable by Muslim terrorist groups. And how better to kill Americans than to recruit other Americans to do the killing without risking Arab Muslim lives?
Abdul-Malik had set the pattern of stalking and then slashing NYPD officers. Dzenan Camovic built on the plan by trying to also use their weapons against them. Trevor Bickford, Islamic name unknown, had tried to combine it with an attack on a major celebration. None of the Islamic terrorists managed to kill a cop, but between them they wounded seven police officers.
Three knife attacks on NYPD officers by Muslim terrorists, two of them in the last three years, ought to have gotten more attention than that. But if the media is uncomfortable talking about Islamic terrorism even when, like the Chicago plot, it targets other Muslims, imagine how uncomfortable it is bringing attention to Muslim terror plots against police officers.
The three Muslim terrorists were just trying to defund the police a little more directly.
This list doesn’t count Fareed Mumuni, a second generation Ghana immigrant and aspiring social worker who joined ISIS and was sentenced in 2022 after stabbing an FBI agent during a raid in Staten Island. Mumuni and his pal Munther Omar Saleh had planned to set off a pressure cooker bomb to take out the law enforcement personnel who had been tracking them.
Nor does it count Awais Chudhary, a Pakistani immigrant, who pleaded guilty in 2022 to plotting an ISIS stabbing spree in New York City. There are innumerable such attempted terror plots that hardly anyone keeps track of them and no one is especially interested in hearing about them.
Since 9/11, Islamic terror plots have become the background noise in our lives. We’ve learned to live with them and grown numb to them. When the plots are broken up, we ignore them. And even when they succeed, we quickly shrug and move on. Islamic terrorism is just part of the price we’ve learned to pay for the wonderful diversity of having white guys from Bosnia stab black guys from Haiti during the Black Lives Matter riots. Or a small town Maine teen realizing that his destiny lies with a theology from the hot desert that requires him to kill other Americans.
Islamic terrorism has become a statistic. Three Muslim knife attacks on eight NYPD cops in eight years is just a number. Like 2,977 dead on 9/11, 2,456 in Afghanistan and all the smaller lives lost in between, they’re just numbers. If we look at them closely, they can either tell a personal story or form a bigger picture of a bigger threat. But for now it’s easier to ignore it.
They did in Times Square. After a little shouting, the situation was soon under control. The revelers put on their 2023 glasses, posed for the news cameras and took selfies of each other.
And somewhere in America, a man sitting in a room watched it all go down and is taking notes. In a few months or maybe a year from now, we’ll find out his name and how good his notes are.
I’m curious how much public assistance these attackers were receiving.
The Tsarnaevs were cut welfare checks the month they set foot in Boston, giving them disposal income to visit Chechnyan twice. (The FBI was warned twice from the Kremlin, but as the Tsarnaevs weren’t affiliated with the Tea Party, they were not seen as a threat.)
When a peace-loving islamist Faisal Shahzad botched a car-bomb attack on Time’s Square in 2010, Bloomberg & Katie Couric jumped to the conclusion it was white domestic terrorists annoyed with the Healthcare Bill.
When faced with the disappointment that it wasn’t a white Christian, they threatened swift judgment for any backlash against Muslim Pakistanis.
On a happier note, the Pakistan government did far more to respond, as they weren’t cowed by shithead Bloomberg.
They arrested several plotters, rather than excuse them.
Trevor was a teen from a white single parent household in Maine. Don’t know, but probably not that much.
Dzenan was a Bosnian illegal alien so assume whatever the traffic would bear.
Zale Thompson was in NYC with some issues so probably utilized socials services.
I know that there are immigrant interest groups too many to name (Ann Coulter lists an exhausting number of them in her book “Adios America”).
These groups provide free legal advice, and all but fill out the forms for you. They’ll even drop you off at the government building and escort you to the office.
That’s why more than 76% of illegal aliens get access to welfare. What I get is the bill for these services rendered ($6,800 for property taxes alone, up 580% since 2014.)
I was watching an NFL football game this past Sunday between the Packers and Vikings. And an ad came up on the commercial break sponsored by Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots. The ad was calling on people to stand up to Jewish hate.
I was surprised because we don’t usually see this. Everything the NFL does is geared towards blacks, as if they are the angels being rampantly discriminated against by whites.
However, of course, the ad didn’t end there. If it did, I would have agreed. Then the ad went on to say “they hate us because we are LGBTQ, Muslim, black., “Let’s stand together to stop hate.
Interesting that blacks, and particularly Muslims were in added to the commercial. They listed another victim group or two that may have slipped my mind. Of course, the implication is that white people are the perpetrators of this hate; Not blacks, or Muslims.
We all know the Muslims love the Jews and are also victims of white supremacy. Blacks, of course, are the least bigoted and hateful group. Just ignore all the statistics and data that says otherwise.
They have to be. Jews are too white to deserve a commercial. Kraft is Jewish and has done things like memorialize terror victims. But the pressure was still on to make it all about the rainbow coalition.
Thanks, Daniel.
>:-O what the ____ is wrong with Robert Kraft?
particularly We all know the Muslims love the Jews and are also victims of white supremacy. Blacks, of course, are the least bigoted and hateful group. Just ignore all the statistics and data that says otherwise.
“discovering that shouting about Allah didn’t make him bulletproof”
That’s one of the oddities in their belief systems that I see frequently when reading history.
Kind of like the Ghost Dance. Unfortunately, it didn’t work very well.
Thanks for highlighting this.
I’m confident President Corruption will be right on top of this. Just as soon the demands of a taxing vacation schedule sufficiently abate.
He’ll be on this condemning the Islamophobia of the cops.
Last week there were over a dozen police attacked by criminals who say they are Christians, what’s your point?
Did they attack police in the name of their religion?
Name one, and try not to lie or assume like when it was said Tim McVeigh was a “Christian” terrorist.
He wasn’t one. He was an atheist, but that didn’t stop flaming idiots from asserting otherwise.
Just like the attempted bombing of Times Square in 2010 wasn’t a white conservative like Bloomberg said it could be. (He was so deflated to learn it was a muslim.)
Only a very unthinking person will accept the fool saying which is that “It doesn’t matter what you believe as long and you’re sincere.”
That incident of the jihad- minded Muslim attacking those police officers, all the while yelling out “Allahu akbar” in Now York city is one example, out of many that it really does matter what a person believes even if his or her believe is sincere .
For that Muslim was no doubt , sincerely following his religion ,which is Islam , for the Qu ‘ran does instruct devout Muslims to “Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you and let them find harshness in you…” Surah 9:123.
Attacking :”disbelievers ” with a machete is very effective way to show them harshness.
So, it is very important and does matter ,very much what a person believes regardless if he or she actually, immensely , sincere.
That proposition never made any sense to begin with. The Nazis and Communists were presumably sincere. The pagans sacrificing children or ripping out hearts on altars were presumably sincere.
Jihadis are extremely sincere. They prove it by being willing to die.
“ Since 9/11, Islamic terror plots have become the background noise in our lives. We’ve learned to live with them and grown numb to them. When the plots are broken up, we ignore them.”
WE don’t, but the world elite does.
That would be nice to think so, but really how much interest is there in Islamic terrorism now even among conservatives?
It’s easy to tell by comparing articles on Islamic terrorism vs things that are now more trendy on the right.
It is elitist democrats that have a top downward agenda – dutifully insulating themselves from the consequences (as the swift expulsion off 48 illegal aliens from Martha’s Vineyard demonstrated.)
You still have a valid point.
A woman saw islamists spiriting suspicious packages into their apartment, yet said nothing out of fear of being labeled “Islamophobic”. So the San Bernadino shooting took place. (Guess MediCal & RCA, Refugee Cash Assistance wasn’t enough to keep ’em happy.)
Nadal Hassan brazenly broadcast his intentions (even put on his business cards, and slide shows), and everyone looked the other way.
Why stay mum on the obvious? One clue was Gen. Casey’s response about not letting diversity be a casualty. Pure BS, but Casey was an elitist PC fool on top & sure to punish any perceived “islamophobia”.
Allah has been at war with ‘kafirs’ for centuries. They have now changed their tactics to infiltrate the West by being ‘friendly’, a surreptitious way to continue the killings , encouraged by the ignorant pagan infidels.
In Canada too, when there is an attack or killing spree by a fan of Allah, even the pagan Prime Minister joins in to declare the perpetrator has a mental illness.
The devil looks after his own!
That jihad-minded Muslim who attacked those NYPD officers with a machete obviously had murderous intentions . Therefore, that in mind ,unless he leaves Islam and terns to and accepts Jesus , that atracker is then fated to go to hell when he dies because a murder “will not inherit the kingdom of God.” The Bible, Galatians 5:21.[N.K.J.V.] For he is a murderer in his Islamic heart . That he has proven by his actions.
Furthermore about police officers should not be threatened of 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.
That Muslim was not resisting the police , what he did was far worse, he was viciously attacking them with a machete.
So unless he later repents to the God of the Bible , not the false god of Islam, and accepts what Jesus did for him on the cross Second Corinthians 5:21 he has now in his unrepented state ,he has brought judgement on himself.
This is terrible, and this should have never happened in the USA!!! This is the work of Biden, and we should hold him for what he has done in our country!!!
What people do not know is that most Muslims do not like most of everyone that is not Muslim, like Christians and Jews.
I think the reason is that Muslims do horrible things to little girls when they say they are married to a girl who is only five years old. This should bother everyone. In the United States, even children have rights!!! This should concern everyone. You only have to look at Israel and the United States!!!
If craft wants to stop Jewish hate, all he need do is stop hating.
Time to look into what makes them to this and put a stop to it
