Report: Muslim Convert Who Tried to Behead NYPD With Machete Was on FBI’s Islamic Extremism Watchlist

15

Apparently the FBI were too busy trying to find domestic terrorists at PTA meetings and white supremacists in the GOP.

“Slashed in the head” ….. as the Quran commands.

“Qur’an 8:12: “ I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks….”

Report: Suspect Who Attacked NYPD With Machete Was on FBI’s Islamic Extremism Watchlist

By Cullen McCue, The National File, January 1, 2023:

The suspect accused of attacking a rookie New York Police Department cop with a machete during New Year’s Eve celebrations was reportedly on the FBI’s Islamic extremism watchlist.

The officer — who graduated Friday and was assigned to a Staten Island precinct but was working the New Year’s Eve detail for the night — was stationed not far from Times Square at West 52nd Street and 8th Avenue when a machete-wielding suspect attacked him around 9:30 p.m., according to the New York Post.

The rookie cop, identified by Mayor Eric Adams as “Paul,” suffered injuries to his face and head during the attack. He is currently being treated for lacerations to his face and a skull fracture, New York Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said during a press conference on Sunday morning.

Another officer then drew his weapon and shot the suspect, hitting him in the shoulder and stopping the attack. The attack was “unprovoked,” Adams stressed at the press conference.

The suspect, who was soon identified as 19-year-old Trevor Bickford, was arrested and taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Police are currently reviewing his online posts to determine whether he was recently radicalized.

Fox News, citing a “high level police source,” reported that Bickford was being watched by the FBI’s counterterrorism task force in the weeks leading up to Saturday’s attack. The source added that the 19-year-old had recently converted to Islam and that a tipster had shared that he expressed interest in travelling to Afghanistan.

“I want to be clear that the FBI, through the Joint Terrorism Task Force, is working very closely with [NYPD] to determine the nature of this attack,” the FBI’s Michael Driscoll said at a Sunday morning news conference. “And we will run every lead to ground. I also want to be very clear, as you’ve heard said tonight previously, this is very much an ongoing investigation so our ability to talk about specifics is limited.”

Mayor Adams and senior law enforcement officials are expected to deliver updates during a press conference late Sunday.

Concerning the first charge by that horrific Islamic regime against this brave and courageous young women of refusing to wear the hijab . That charge only exposes the oppressive misogyny of the Islamic tyranny that is based on Sharia . For Sharia favors the hijab which is a symbol of terrible Islamic oppression against all females , both girls and women.

As for that other charge against her for “encouraging prostitution.” That slanderous charge further reveals that those Islamic SOB’s in power in tyrannical Islamic regime are chronic liars who have no genuine honor.

This second charge also shows the those Muslim tyrants must be “running scared ” that their regime might collapse and then they would lose all their power.

Many people like myself have seen the brutal results of ‘diversity’ firsthand. Unfortunately history shows that jihad is usually successful. God bless you anyway and keep up the good work.

This comment is not about the Policeman who was attacked as the ‘koran and hadith’ instructs. HOWEVER, what was said IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT and TRUE! LEAVE the TRUTH BE TOLD!

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.

The FBI is too busy concocting a fictional story of “white supremacist” terror threats to deal with actual terror suspects. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that they purposely allow Islamic terrorists to roam free and commit attacks as they now side with the enemies of America.

One has to understand that what the FBI and their CCP handlers define as “white supremacy “ are patriotic Americans who adhere to the Constitution and abide by our historical values and principles. That is what they mean when they say it is the greatest threat to their fundamental transformation of America into a perverse nihilistic totalitarian nightmare from which there’s no return.

The weapon used here is still NOT A MACHETE! Please get it right – it is a KUKRI.
