[ April 24, 2024 ]
On October 31, 2017 in lower Manhattan, a Muslim migrant from Uzbekistan named Sayfullo Saipov drove a rented truck along a bicycle path, killing eight people and injuring numerous others. Saipov appeared in court last Monday, and told Judge Vernon Broderick in Uzbek: “The orders issued here have nothing to do with me. I am following orders of Allah, who gave me life.” An onlooker might be forgiven for thinking that his mass murder spree in Manhattan had something to do with Islam, despite the best efforts of our moral superiors to convince us that jihad terror has nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with the Religion of Peace.
It’s actually quite obvious that Saipov did his killing in service to Allah. The New York Daily News reported at the time of Saipov’s attack that he “yelled ‘Allahu Akbar!’ — Arabic for ‘God is great!’ — after running the riders down from behind, their mangled bodies left scattered behind his runaway white pickup.” (Actually “Allahu akbar” doesn’t mean “God is great,” it means “Allah is greater,” i.e., greater than your god.)
And now, Saipov’s refusal to accept the authority of the good Judge Broderick is in keeping with behavior of jihadis in non-Muslim courtrooms all over the world. They maintain that they obey only Allah, and thus refuse to accept the jurisdiction of what they consider to be manmade law. Yet authorities worldwide have never shown any interest in investigating the prevalence of this view among Muslims generally.

That indifference also holds in this case. According to Al Arabiya, at the time of the massacre, “New York state governor Andrew Cuomo told media that there is no evidence to suggest wider plot or wider scheme.” And Time.com reported that Cuomo said that there was no “evidence of an ongoing threat or any additional threat.”
No evidence to suggest a wider plot or an ongoing threat? Really, Governor? Here’s some: in June 2017, four months before Saipov’s attack, the Islamic State (ISIS) published a poster depicting an SUV driving over a heap of skulls and bearing the legend “Run Over Them Without Mercy.”
Also, the Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:
So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….
Many Muslims in the West have heeded this call. Yet Andrew Cuomo and others among the political elites resolutely refuse to connect the dots between these jihad attacks, which have an obvious connection with one another in sharing the same motivating ideology and the same goal.
Saipov is a native of Uzbekistan. His case shows yet again that immigration, contrary to Democrats’ craven claims, is a national security issue and should be treated as such, and demonstrates the correctness of the underlying principle behind President Trump’s much-maligned travel bans.
No doubt when Saipov came here, he was deemed a “moderate” and let in without any hesitation. It would have been “Islamophobic” to do otherwise. The current immigration and refugee apparatuses do not even make any serious attempt to determine whether or not a Muslim entering the United States has jihad sentiments – an enterprise which would be essentially impossible in any case. The unpleasant fact remains that it is impossible to distinguish jihadis from peaceful Muslim refugees. If, however, President Trump tries to use this incident in order to broaden his travel ban, the response will be the familiar cries of “bigotry” and “Islamophobia,” and the Hate-America Left will go into high gear again to stop his action in the courts.
And so it goes in the daily life of the contemporary West: another jihad massacre, and more denial and willful ignorance.

When are our leaders going to wake up to the fact that islam is not the religion of peace and tolerance.
It is the religion of death, destruction, chaos, fear, and misery.

After reading this report, I’m convinced that there is a place in one of the deepest pits of hell for those elected officials who are trusted to ensure the safety of the public, but parade their complete ignorance on matters of faith and belief as positions of non judgemental virtue, when they should have studied such beliefs before and after terrorist attacks causing loss of innocent life.
Such people are beneath most forms of contempt because they are unlikely ever to show any real contrition to either the general public or the families they let down so badly.
In future, don’t elect them before questioning them closely and fearlessly and in public too.

You answered your own question….the dumb infidels are the ignorant moronic libturds! And whether the muslims are illegal or not they are still the parasites of the universe that will destroy anything they come in contact with!

Why should Bloomberg (spit) or Cuomo (spit) care? it’s not like the f’ing muslums are going to be running them over, blowing them up or gunning them down in the streets. They drive armored limos, live in secured compounds and have armed security details. Indeed, the only muslums Cuomo and Bloomberg meet are the kinds that grease their palms, fund their campaigns or fill their undeclared offshore bank accounts w/petrodollars.

Notice how Bloomberg is a raving proponent of cutting back on carbon emissions? Isn’t this the same Bloomberg that, close to EVERY week while mayor of NYNY, flew a helicopter to the airport? And, from that helicopter got into a private jet and flew to his home in Bermuda? No carbon footprint for that travel … OR for the six thousand square foot mansion (not to mention his put-put golf course or guest houses).

Bloomberg was a Democrat Party member, that became a Republican Party member, He then became an “independent”. Now, he’s back to being a Democrat Party member. He’s an elitist. However, since there is not an Elitist Party, he’s back to being a Democrat Party member.

Yes, he is an opportunist, he only represents himself and will run on whatever ticket is easiest. Fiscally he is a conservative, otherwise he is a liberal elitist. If you think about it, before Trump ran for President he was a democrat who espoused many liberal ideas like abortion rights and legal cannabis, but he wanted to be president so he changed to what he thought would most likely get him there.

Folks, this is not hard unless you’re a politician or a bureaucrat. Before you let anyone into the country you sit down with a good translator and ask a few pertinent questions regarding a person’s loyalty to the US, their ability to respect other people, willingness to obey ALL the laws, etc. Also: if they like pedophilia, bestiality, killing people not of their demonic religious beliefs or claim that they only answer to Allah you force them to leave immediately. I am perfect for this job. I have never been a Democrat.

It’s so flaming ironic that they don’t accept “our” man-made laws when they’re being prosecuted, but accept them wholeheartedly when they’re suing someone or some company to get what they want (i.e. sharia compliance).

And yet Congresswoman Ohmar still sits in Congress though she came into the US via lies and deceptions. All well and publicly known. If it were someone with a different religious background they would be on the first plane out of the country after a very brief trial.
About her religious background, did everyone see her mug shot when she was arrested for DUI? Drunk and without a head covering. Then there was her marriage performed by a non-muslim priest. The list of her not-so-devoute goings on are legion, but she wears the invisible “You are an islamophobe” shield; it protects her from criticism.
