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

Muslim attacks NYPD cops with meat cleaver, previously arrested for carrying knives near synagogue

Sep 15, 2016 8:19 pm By Robert Spencer

While Linda Sarsour and other Islamic supremacists hysterically pretend that it’s unsafe for Muslim women in New York, the jihad there continues.

Looks as if Akram Joudeh was a jihad waiting to happen: “Akram Joudeh: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know,” by Jessica McBride, Heavy, September 15, 2016:

NBC 10.com said the suspect was 32 years old and has 15 prior arrests, “including one on Aug. 27 after he was found carrying knives near a synagogue.”…

“Criminal attacks New York cops with a MEAT CLEAVER before being shot and critically wounded: Suspect attacked ‘because his car was booted when he parked in the middle of Manhattan street,'” by James Wilkinson, Dailymail.com, September 15, 2016:

The Queens man who allegedly hit an off-duty NYPD detective in the head with an 11-inch meat cleaver during a dramatic Midtown Manhattan confrontation has been identified as Akram Joudeh, 32.

Joudeh was shot multiple times on West 32 Street, near Penn Station, by several officers at around 5pm Wednesday after a dramatic chase that culminated in three officers being injured, cops said.

The detective suffered a six-inch gash from his temple to his jaw, while Joudeh was left in hospital in critical but stable condition.

Police were called out at around 5pm after Joudeh was seen trying to prize a boot off his car on West 31 St and Broadway.

He is believed to have been sleeping in the vehicle, which had reportedly been parked in the middle of the street, which is located in a busy, tourist-heavy area of Midtown.

When police approached, however, he pulled out the cleaver and fled while ‘waving it around,’ a police spokesman said.

A sergeant attempted to stop the suspect with a taser while they ran through the crowded area, but for reasons unknown it apparently had no effect.

The officers chased him through the heavily-patrolled area to West 32 St, near Penn Station, where he mounted the grill of a stationary police car.

An off-duty detective, who was heading to Penn Station, saw Joudeh and attempted to tackle him – at which point, cops say, Joudeh hit him in the face with the cleaver.

Officers tried to talk him into dropping the weapon, police said, but he refused – at which point they fired 18 times, hitting him with multiple bullets, cops said.

Two other cops sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Early reports said that one of them suffered a graze on his back during the gunfire.

Both the cops and the attacker were taken to Bellevue Hospital. The detective is said to be in serious condition. The other officers are said to be in stable condition….

    I saw this pop up on Fox news with a suspicious lack of information about the perpetrator. Thank you JihadWatch for confirming what everyone who saw this news bite knew. Why is the media (and Fox news isn’t even the liberal media!) trying to hide the facts. That’s the main function of journalism — to present the facts.

      Actually, I saw it on the 5:30 NBC News this evening. It was the first story, and the perp was even named, though he’s a Muslim. But yes, the mainstream media often omits pertinent information if its a Mohammedan.

        My take is that he is white and not called mohammad, and the BLM movement needs to go “if he was black he’d have been shot dead” every once in a while in order to stay relevant.

    • Polk1970 says

      He is LIKELY a Palestinian Arab
      Joudeh is a common Palestinian Name

      And ,that would explain the Meat Clever

          Given that Palis are a made-up group composed of “whatever arabs happened to be in Israel at the time,” he is likely Jordanian – like most of the other Joudehs.

          That said, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if at some point in the past, his family was Jewish (Joudeh/Judah) and converted – either under duress or just to escape the crippling jizyah.

          It is a form of Jeddah the Islamic holy city in the Hijaz. Islam is a form of Replacement Theology, especially the ones around Jews, so they change their names to seem like ‘the real Jews’.

          Many Arabic words sound that way, your ignorant comment is the same as saying the singer Jewel must be Jewish. Actually people like you wrote most of the non-Jewish version of Jewish history.

        • kangi_nunpa says

          Sep 16, 2016 at 6:30 pm

          Wicham, I *am* a Jew. I speak Hebrew *and* Arabic, thanks to quite a bit of time in Iraq.
          Try not leaping to conclusions about ignorance.

    Muslim attacks NYPD cops with meat cleaver, previously arrested for carrying knives near synagogue
    ………………………..

    This is becoming more and more common–in Israel, in Europe, and now in the US.

    And why target the police? Because the police protect Infidels, and this is not allowed under Islam.

    Islam is as “racist” as Nazism. All non-Muslims are considered fair game for slaughter by the so-called “best people” according to Mohammed. They need to be restricted to the Arabian Peninsula where they came from. There is plenty of space and money to feed and house these monsters there. Enough if this ongoing deceitful taquiya that there are somehow a homeless, persecuted minority.

    Remember: KLM = Kuffar Lives Matter

    • Jedothek says

      Sep 16, 2016 at 1:36 am

      By putting the word ‘racist’ in quotes you are admitting that Islam is not racist: so why say it? Islam would not be racist even if all Muslims hated all non-Muslims.

      • Dov Berrol says

        Sep 16, 2016 at 7:41 am

        It was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the word “racist” so often misused by people who divide the single human race into classes of people based on their biological differences. In biology, any member of a species that can produce offspring with another of that species is considered to be the same species. Nazis and Muslims both believe they are biologically superior to others because of their belief in an ideology. That’s why I called them “racists” – using the same misnomer lefties use every time we criticize Islam.

        • Jedothek says

          Oct 8, 2016 at 8:57 am

          Please cite an Islamic text saying that Muslims are biologically superior to others.

    Sep 15, 2016 at 10:33 pm

    Why are we surprised.

    Doesn’t Quran 5:33 say, ‘Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,’?

    Some Muslims think that by America engaging in the war in middle east. It is ‘waging war against Allah.’

      Just by being non-Muslims we are waging war against Allah.

      Islam is so effed-up. And here we are, letting it in.

    Whenever I hear about attacks made with meat cleavers I think Muslim!

    Oh dear my “islamophobia” is acting up again.

    Except that it is true, over and over.

    The West needs to wake up – we have thousands of operatives in our midst who are actively being directed to attack us.

    What are our “leaders” going to do about it? Cave once again? Live in Pretendville?

    Sep 16, 2016 at 12:13 am

    So, following this shooting by the NYPD and the.claim fom your Ms. Sarsour that life is apparently so dangerous for muslim females in your neck the woods, are you now going to have mass demos from ‘Every Muslim Life Matters’ or the like? Because, the way things seem to go these days, this would be the next logical step if you’re following that certain brand of ‘logic’ that appears to be so fashionable in certain quarters.

    They shot at him 18 times and he’s still alive?

    These cops need more time on the firing range.

    • Monterrosa says

      Sep 16, 2016 at 3:18 am

      They shot at him and some bullets hit him. It is interesting that city guys and gals who do not usually have the opportunity to learn shooting in the countryside are not the sort who become great shootists. There are exceptions but the Alvin C. York types of World War I, the Audie Murphy and the George Mabry MOH recipients of World War II, the Carlos Hathcock shooters of the Vietnam War, and the Chris Kyle manly men of recent festivities grew up shooting.

      The FBI used to say they wanted recruits who had no previous experience with firearms so they would not have to overcome “bad habits” but after some episodes where their agents have shot scores of rounds without hitting anything the FBI training appears less than stellar.

      • Eric Jones says

        Sep 17, 2016 at 1:10 am

        My understanding is that currently police are taught to empty their clip when they start shooting. They hit him 18 times, but we don’t know out of how many total rounds where fired. My experience with hand guns is that its hard to be accurate with them. Given the distance and a stressful situation its hard to be accurate with a hand gun. I thank God that innocent bystanders were not hurt. Over all police firearms training needs to be looked at.

      Sep 16, 2016 at 4:03 am

      Yes they shot at them 18 times and he still live because Obama took their real guns away and replace them with BB guns.
      Can you imagine the mainstream media if the cops had shot the scumbag and killed them. They would be called racists and everything under the sun.
      As long as there is a Muslim president in the White House this crap is going to continue and Hillary is not one bit better because she reports to George Soros the perpetrator and instigator of all this Muslim scum that is plaguing Europe and the US. and Canada.
      As long as the voters keep voting in these corrupt politicians that pretend and mislead people into believing that Muslims are peaceloving it is only only going to get worse.

      Get your head out of the sand and get out there and vote for somebody that wants to fix this mess, and it sure as hell isn’t Hillary.

  10. Ray M says

    Sep 16, 2016 at 4:51 am

    Obama will likely send the Muslim brotherhood to protect their friend from the evil police force. Or one of his other minions to justify this scumbags actions.

    Do a search for (Someone had a meltdown about Islam) and this happened in Saudia Arabia. I wonder if he is still alive, it is funny as hell and everything he says is true.

    If everyone here doesn’t get a good laugh out of that video go ahead and ban me.

    The media is completely ignoring the fact that Islamic State has called for lone wolf attacks with knifes or whatever on infidels. The MSM is quickly to announce “no connection to terrorism” when they cannot possibly know that. But the public are not fools.

  12. Alarmed Pig Farmer says

    Sep 16, 2016 at 7:41 am

    When I saw the news flash they announced a man attacked cops with a meat cleaver. My first thought was of the BLM, you know, the guys who meet with Prez Barack Hussein in the WH so much. My second thought was it could be an activated Moslem, you know, the guys who meet with Prez Barack Hussein in the WH so much.

    I flipped the channel.

    • JawsV says

  13. Jay Boo says

    Sep 16, 2016 at 8:25 am

    I see a correlation with Muslims and weapons.

    If we cannot ban all Muslims from the US, can we at least ban all Muslims from owning such weapons as:
    Hammers, Meat Cleavers, Pressure Cookers, Butcher Knives, Swords, Spear Guns, Battery Acid, Pipe Bombs, Suicide Vests, and ‘Perfect’ sized stones.

    Also ban Incantations to the demon from hell. Allah and reading from the unholy manual of Hate, the Qur’an.

    CAIR should be removed from America as a Muslim terrorist front.They serve no purpose other than shop wing muslims how a country should act and it falls on deaf ears.Oust all Muslims who follow Islam and dream of a Caliphate, Sharia, Jihad, Taqiyya and fomenting hatred in america or wherever they are.
    Most of America agrees with me, most of Europe also agrees, now, most of Australia agrees, Canad is rapidly coming to agreement why not declare a muslim-free world.Muslims hate one another and , certainly, distrust everyone because like Obama and Hillary most of what they say are lies.

      [Old form of ‘pry’] a boot – a locking device used when someone has parked illegally, for example – off the tire. It clamps onto the wheel, making it impossible to drive the car. The wrongdoer must pay a fine before the police will come and release the boot.

  18. Robert John Bennett says

    Sep 16, 2016 at 11:54 am

    The CBS Evening News, of course, mentioned nothing about Islam. Why would they? After all, the attack – by a Muslim, against non-Muslims – had “nothing to do with Islam.”

    “Looks as if Akram Joudeh was a jihad waiting to happen”

    I thought that there a phrase already coined for that, “Sudden Jihad Syndrome”. (SJS)

  22. Steve says

    The “prophet” muhammed (I’ll not capitalize) was a goat-screwing, marauding, illiterate, from a family of nomadic murderers who populated the Saudi peninsula 1,500 years ago. He probably had a pathology of epilepsy since he often went into a trance, as it is recorded, and frothed at the mouth. The koran (again not cap’t) is a bastardized version of the ramblings of a defrocked Roman Catholic priest who was banned to the Saudi desert by the Council of Nicaea for his promotion of Arianism. He was banned from “the Church”. This explains why the only reference to Mary, the mother of Christ, is the only female mentioned in the koran. Also, there are many references to Christ in the koran as well as the Biblical prophets. Actually, there is so much of the Bible in the Koran that sometimes one wonders what book he is reading. Now how does a desert goat-herder with NO education know these facts? The koran is a fraud, perpetrated by the Roman Catholic Church. Again, how did the moslem (no caps) hoards skip the passage to Italy from ancient Carthage – the typical stopping off point in that era – to go and plunder the Vatican and Rome? These sites were the prize, and yet the moslem hoards went west to what is now Morocco and jumped Gibraltar into Spain and subjugated a poor people instead of the rich Roman/ Vatican city. Even though Rome had been plundered by the Gauls and others, it was still rich and the Western seat of Catholicism was there. Think!!!!!

    Sep 17, 2016 at 1:03 pm

    This is just the beginning, all of that talk about they come in peace, now you can see it’s not true , and when the news show you what’s going on in France with Muslims and what’s going on in Brussels in England that is not rhetoric what is a behavior of your people who read the Quran but if you wanted to live that life why did you home to America, the more people go out of control the American see and now, and that is a talking point

  24. Oliver says

    Sep 17, 2016 at 6:21 pm

    Two questions–“parked in the middle of the street’- ” sleeping in the car”.

    Was the car parked on the curb, in the middle of the street (possibly a no parking area?) (I have not been to Manhattan since pre-1980), or in the middle of the street (roadway)?

    If the latter, why not bang on the window (of the car) unless it was tinted. If the former- by the curb-I can see the boot; and or towing the car.

    I hate the thought of the cop injured. I hope the scumbag dies. And the cop lives
