Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

NY police commissioner wants 450 more cops to fight against jihadis

May 18, 2015 10:41 pm By Robert Spencer

Wired Disruptive By Design Business ConferenceThe Islamic State threat, says Bratton, “has expanded significantly in the now 16 months I’ve been police commissioner.” He also says: “The significantly increased threat from ISIS using social media to recruit people not only to go to Syria to fight, but encouraging people … to attack police, to attack government officials, to basically brainwash them under their screwed-up ideology.” He doesn’t explain why this “screwed-up ideology” is so appealing to so many young Muslims.

“Police Commissioner Bratton Requests 450 More Officers To Fight Terrorism,” by Suzanne Vega, JP Updates, May 17, 2015 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):

As the fear over the threat of terrorism continues to swell around the world, New York City becomes increasingly on edge that it’s time to take extra security precautions.

Although we have not experienced the caliber such as the attacks in Paris, we have a history of being a major target and ISIS has already begun to infiltrate young minds through the use of video games and social media.

Since the New Year there have been numerous arrests in Brooklyn and Queens for people attempting to assist ISIS from afar, building homemade bombs and laying out plans of attack.

On the John Catsimatidis show, Police Commissioner Bill Bratton discussed these very issues and how he wishes to combat the Islamic extremist threat, calling for the addition of at least 450 new police officers to the force.

Bratton said, “We need to be very concerned about terrorism … The significantly increased threat from ISIS using social media to recruit people not only to go to Syria to fight, but encouraging people … to attack police, to attack government officials, to basically brainwash them under their screwed-up ideology. That threat has expanded significantly in the now 16 months I’ve been police commissioner.”

“We’re treating that threat so seriously, I’m going to put another 450 police officers – if we get the approval to increase the size of the police force – and I need to do it very very quickly – into our counterterrorism operations to increase the ability of our officers to protect critical sites around the city. Or, if we were to have an incident, so I’d have a lot more officers in the streets with the appropriate equipment to deal with active shooters or hostage situations.

“We are entering a new era where we cannot live in fear, but we have to live increasingly aware of our surroundings … This crazy hijacking of the Muslim religion by these fanatics, twisting it into an ideology that’s all about hate and murder and killing.” Bratton added.

Recently New York Mayor Bill de Blasio released a budget to increase resources for the NYPD, but he did not include any funding for additional police officers. The City Council has requested 1,000 new officers from the mayor, while Bratton has settled on a modest 450. Therefore, it seems Bratton and de Blasio will have to meet somewhere in the middle….

    “This crazy hijacking of the Muslim religion by these fanatics, twisting it into an ideology that’s all about hate and murder and killing.” Bratton added.

    What a let down it was to read this after the rare positive headline. Just another usefull idiot. If he gets the additional cops he’ll probably assign them to mudslime outreach.

      He’s nothing but a F**king w**nker. He knows it, we know it. How can they stand there and say such utter drivel?

      It really boils my balls! What does he think he’s there for?

    Bratton is clueless. Nothing has been highjacked. Muhammad was a sociopath who orgiastically personally decapitated 600 -900 unarmed Jews. 99.9% of all Muslims believe everything Muhammad did was perfect..including his personal decapitation of the Jews…so. When Muslims commit vioence for the last 1400 years, they are embracing Islam, not highjacking it..wake up Bratton. Study Winston Churchill who wrote with great prescience in 1899:”Islam in a man is as dangerous as rabies in a dog”.

      Bratton is really in a bind. DeBlazio is islam friendly. Deblazio stopped monitoring of mosques and islamic centers for subversive teaching. DeBlazio has pretty much tied the hands of the NYPD. The cops can’t stand working for this communist. We’re in a big mess here. It will only get worse. Watch and see.

        He also basically ended ‘stop and frisk”–I have friends in NYC- they told me that (stop and frisk) is what made the city reasonably safe to live in. Last I heard, they were moving out.

    To “protect” is a mirage unless there is pre-knowledge of what is at risk and when. Law enforcement prevents very little; enforcement generally means catching and prosecuting after the crime.

    Even 4500 new officers wouldn’t make much difference unless the citizens become the eyes and ears of the effort. The absolute arrogance of government to think they can actually “protect” the people has no more efficacy than it did in the Civil War. We do need police but they cannot do it alone. The politicians need to wake up and realize they need the citizens

    There have only been three wars within America of any consequence and one of them is starting now.

      Even 4500 new officers wouldn’t make much difference unless the citizens become the eyes and ears of the effort.

      The eyes, the ears, and the arms of the effort. Fair Gotham needs to dispense with its antediluvian gun laws and institute a “shall issue” permit-to-carry system. In the face of jihad terrorism, a disarmed citizenry can only die helplessly.

    From the article – “…the Islamic extremist threat…”.

    Translation: “The Allah Gang, the Ummah or Mohammedan Mob”.

    Again, from the article – “to basically brainwash them under their screwed-up ideology”

    Translation: “to turn them into devout jihad-waging Muslims.”

    Islam *is* a screwed-up ideology. Period.

    Again, from the article – “We are entering a new era where we cannot live in fear, but we have to live increasingly aware of our surroundings … This crazy hijacking of the Muslim religion by these fanatics, twisting it into an ideology that’s all about hate and murder and killing ”

    What he should have said: “We are entering a new era where we cannot live in fear, but we have to live increasingly aware of our surroundings … Islam is all about hate and murder and killing “.

    There, fixed it for you, mate.

    Now: New York jihadwatchers. And other American jihadwatchers who care about your country’s biggest city and the welfare of all of its non-Muslim inhabitants.

    So: write to Bratton. And send him a few articles. I suggest, printed off and sent, with covering note, the following selection.

    1/ Tina Magaard on Islam, and how it is far and away the most inherently violent of all currently-extant world belief systems.

    http://10news.dk/?p=1126

    Original Danish article here:
    http://www.b.dk/nationalt/vi-skal-saette-spoergsmaalstegn-ved-om-muhammed-gjorde-det-rigtige

    ‘Danish professor : Jihadis are just following the example of Mohammed’

    “…She studied Arabic and read both the Qur’an and the hadiths. Here she recognized many of the repressive tendencies she had experienced [in her travels in Muslim countries].

    “What is striking is not in itself that one can find murderous passages in the Islamic texts, as such passages can also be found in other religions.

    “But it is striking how much space these passages take up in the Islamic texts, and how much they focus on an us-and-them logic in which infidels and apostates are characterized as dirty, rotten, criminal, hypocritical and dangerous.
    It is also striking how much these texts demand that the reader fight the infidels, both with words and with the sword.

    “In many passages, Muhammad plays a central role as one who encourages the use of violence, whether it comes to stonings, beheadings, acts of war or execution of critics and poets.”

    If there is anyone out here reading this who knows both Danish and English, I strongly suggest doing a translation of the whole article, because just from what I could guess at (using my knowledge of German) I think it would be worth having a full translation rather than just the passages Sennels has translated.

    2/ Conor Cruise O’Brien on Islam.
    http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/the-lesson-of-algeria-islam-is-indivisible-1566770.html

    CONOR CRUISE O’BRIEN
    Friday 6 January 1995
    The lesson of Algeria: Islam is indivisible

    A couple of telling excerpts. If you haven’t read this: read it! Then send it to Mr Bratton, and anyone else you think might benefit from it.

    “Fundamentalist Islam” is a misnomer which dulls our perceptions in a dangerous way. It does so by implying that there is some other kind of Islam, which is well disposed to those who reject the Koran. There isn’t…”.

    “”All the great religions are the same” is the idea.
    “Only they aren’t…

    “The Prophet Mohamed did not offer his followers a chance to live in harmony with their neighbours.

    “He taught them to fight their neighbours, if they were unbelievers, and kill them or beat them into submission.

    “And it is futile to say of those Muslims who faithfully follow those teachings today that their actions are “not intrinsically related to Islam”.
    We are facing an Islamic revival…”.

    3/ Patrick L Moore on Islam (1994) – “From Cold War to Guerra Fria?”.

    http://www.ewtn.com/library/ISSUES/GUERRA.HTM

    Excerpt (this article is a classic, a comprehensive and clear scholarly overview, complete with good footnotes).

    “…There are five especially critical aspects about Islam’s doctrine of jihad which must be brought out to properly understand the significance of Islam as it relates to the United States and the West.[7] In summary, the meaning of jihad in its primary sense is military and coercive; it is central to the universalist doctrine of the Islamic belief system; its operational aim is political domination of non-Islamic territories (i.e. rather than forced conversion); it is offensive or aggressive in nature in the first instance (and not merely “defensive”); and, finally, jihad is continuous in character (i.e. pending the ultimate victory of the forces of Islam)….”.

    Triple the number of police dedicated to the effort.
    Deport all suspects.
    Stop there immigration of all muslims.
    That would be a small start.
    End game: No muslims in the USA.

    • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

      May 19, 2015 at 9:29 am

      Deport all suspects

      This would entail deporting all Moslems because by observing Islam they all harbor suspect loyalty to America given that Islam trumps secular government. An additional problem with your plan, and it’s a fine plan in my eye, is that many of our Moslems are converts… er, reverts… to Islam, most of them angry black Americans. Where would we send them?

      Plus, when we try to return them to their homelands, the receiving country would shoot them upon arrival in a bid to get favorable press, followed by U.S. taxpayer money, by the spectacle of the unfortunate but necessary execution of the returning re-refugees.

    Any number of officers added to the NY police force has got to be a plus. DeBlasio had better approve the request.

  7. underbed cat says

    May 19, 2015 at 8:33 am

    If NY is going to do some hiring they better get a clearer idea of what is the driving the ideology behind the the jihadis…since he could end up hiring someone who would love that position.

    Our Police commissioner knows we are in war era, New war will be fought by police on local streets as Our enemy is smart and have new kind of soldiers called religious soldiers hiding in each city waiting for call and our street will turn in blood rivers.
    Middle east scholar has already said how USA will drop its own bombs in own street when call for All.. will be from Mu…..s.
    Good Luck USA
    Thank You Mr OBAMA making sure our police can’t fight and win.

    You know, it’s time to use the islamo-nazi’s own system against them. Their powers that be have fortified the psychiatric system in America to cripple our citizenry (psychotrophic drugs to 3 year olds!). They call Islam a religion — couldn’t anything be declared a religion?

    If we had the will, we would look at the fruits of this ‘religion’ and declare it insanity and a crime against humanity.

    In Nazi Germany, insane asylums were the precursors to the gas chambers of Auschwitz. There were ‘showers’ in these insane asylums, but no water and only wooden bars of soap.

    No, Mr Bratton, ” it’s not just a crazy hijacking of the muslim religion”. Mr Braton, learn about what’s in the koran! It’s all of islam!

    Islam needs to be outlawed and criminalized. It is a political system disguised as religion that really is unconstitutional.

    Some one please send him and the mayor a memo!

  11. jayell says

    May 19, 2015 at 10:55 am

    450 more cops? How much is THAT going to cost? It seems that everywhere the muslims go they turn it into a ‘high-maintenance Society’. What a credit to humanity they are!!!! (not!).

    • Joseph says

      May 19, 2015 at 12:02 pm

      @ jayell
      Statistics have shown that it is actually cheaper to have more cops around(up to a point), effectively deployed.
      Crime goes down, there is less loss of property, detectives working on such cases have less of a load, therefore are more effective. Less assaults, therefore less hospital visits. And the benefit of less murders. How can you murder someone and serve as little as 6 years while for robbery you get 15?

      The REAL crime is when people are caught red handed and the judge gives them probation or reduced jail terms. This sends the criminals back on the streets to do what? You guessed it, commit more crime. Some of these people are career criminals, yet are still walking the streets. It is frustrating being a cop when you arrest a guy for a major crime(felon in possession of a firearm) and he is on the street corner the next day, waving at you.
      We would NOT need more cops if the courts enforced the law and prisoners served the time given to them.
      Remember the courts and lawyers have their own “job creative program”

    This crazy hijacking of the Muslim religion by these fanatics, twisting it into an ideology that’s all about hate and murder and killing.” Bratton added.

    I can only hope he doesn’t really believe that and he’s only paying lip service to TPTB (The Powers That Be)…

    That is why we are losing against Islam big time

    We wii not win unless Islam is offically declared Evil. The rest is waste of time.

    • Nathan says

      May 19, 2015 at 4:00 pm

      Yep, That’s point number 1. Anything else is just wasting time and lives.

      It will come down to either outlawing islam or slow defeat (500 years is nothing to islam). The sooner it’s outlawed the better. It’s inevitable, so why wait?

      Ban the qur’an, it’s total crap anyway!
