Exonerating Islam at any cost
The world’s attention has moved on to COVID and China and Kevin McCarthy, but our authorities remain vigilant and as focused as ever on the real issues, foremost among which is making sure that nobody thinks ill of the religion of Islam. Thomas Galati, the New York Police Department’s chief of intelligence and counterterrorism, on Tuesday offered details of the New Year’s Eve attack in Times Square, in which a 19-year-old from Maine, Trevor Bickford, stabbed two NYPD officers. Galati, however, seemed more interested in exonerating the Islamic religion (Bickford is a convert to Islam, as he made abundantly clear in his manifesto) than in actually illuminating what Bickford thought he was accomplishing.
Galati, who has the classic look and sound of an NYPD cop straight out of central casting, looked massively uncomfortable as he admitted:
He knew what he was doing, he knew why he was doing it, he thought that he probably would die as a result of carrying out this attack. Um, y’know, during the attack he did yell out “Allah akbar,” um, you know, and, um, you know, I – I believe he thought that this would be, um, you know, k–, suicide by cop, uh, basically, at the end of this attack. This is a distorted, uh, you know, um, uh, uh, version of him being radicalized and thinking that what he’s doing is right, um, you know, just, uh, want to make sure that that’s clear, he’s not representing, you know, uh, the Islamic religion, but rather, you know, a very, very small percentage of people that get radicalized.
Thomas Galati is repeating the same blather that officials all over the West have repeated for years after every jihad attack that they couldn’t explain away as “mental illness” or something else. Usually authorities say these things without Galati’s level of fumbling, embarrassment, and hesitation, but still, we hear this kind of statement after every incident of Islamic jihad violence. And that is extraordinary in itself. Does any other group have people who aren’t members of it so anxious to do public relations for it? Does any other group have so many people committing violence in its name, with people who aren’t in the group at all then rushing to make sure you don’t think anything negative about the group, or get the idea that the people doing violence are representative of this group?
If he had an ounce of actual concern for New Yorkers and not just concern for not offending Muslims, Thomas Galati would be publicly asking today how it is that Trevor Bickford and so many other converts to Islam somehow get their new, peaceful religion all wrong, and what Muslim leaders are doing to prevent this. But no one ever dares to ask that. --->READ MORE HERE
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.” --->READ MORE HERE
