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

Muslim who slashed NY cop with meat cleaver was deemed “not a terror threat” after screaming “Allahu akbar” outside synagogue

Sep 17, 2016 1:01 pm By Robert Spencer

“Cops found two knives inside Joudeh’s car after answering the July report of an erratic man on Shore Parkway in Brooklyn shout ‘Allahu Akbar!’ — or ‘God is great’ in Arabic.”

Actually it means “Allah is greater,” i.e., greater than your god.

“But the source said investigations by the NYPD and FBI showed Joudeh, 32, was emotionally disturbed and not a terrorist threat.”

So apparently he is part of the global outbreak of mental illness.

“Meat cleaver madman, a Palestinian, was in Midtown to appeal deportation order before he sliced cop,” by Rocco Parascandola, Dale W. Eisinger, and Larry Mcshane, New York Daily News, September 16, 2016:

The meat cleaver maniac who hacked an off-duty cop is a Palestinian busted two months ago while screaming in Arabic outside a Brooklyn synagogue.

Suspect Akram Joudeh was only in New York for Thursday’s Midtown rampage because he was appealing a deportation notice — with a hearing set for Oct. 14, a high-ranking NYPD source told the Daily News.

Cops found two knives inside Joudeh’s car after answering the July report of an erratic man on Shore Parkway in Brooklyn shout “Allahu Akbar!” — or “God is great” in Arabic.

But the source said investigations by the NYPD and FBI showed Joudeh, 32, was emotionally disturbed and not a terrorist threat.

Joudeh was selling perfume out of his illegally parked car Thursday near Madison Square Garden when he attacked NYPD Detective Brian O’Donnell on a W. 32nd St. sidewalk, cops said.

The 16-year police veteran left a Manhattan hospital Friday sporting a blue NYPD windbreaker and a raw red gash on his cheek….

Akram Joudeh went after the pair of cops who approached him with an 11-inch meat cleaver, police said.

The detective’s left hand and wrist were heavily bandaged from injuries suffered in his Thursday scuffle with Joudeh, police said.

O’Donnell was headed to Penn Station to catch a train home after his 8 a.m.-4 p.m. shift when he spotted Joudeh running through rush hour crowds with the meat cleaver in his hand.

O’Donnell was sliced after he tackled Joudeh, who had just climbed atop the front grill of a responding NYPD squad car, police said.

Cops shot the suspect six times after Joudeh ignored repeated calls to drop the cleaver, police said.

Joudeh, a career criminal who was likely living in his nearby parked car, went berserk when two police officers approached the vehicle — and went after the pair with the cleaver, police said.

A 45-second video obtained by WNBC-TV showed Joudeh in the minutes before he opened a 6-inch gash on the jaw of O’Donnell less than a block from Penn Station….

    That heinous Muslim thug who went after that police officer was malicious intentions and even worse than lawless. He was outright wicked. That Islamic hooligan and other Muslim hoodlums as him are described in the Bible. Which reads “”Their feet are swift to shed blood; Destruction and misery are their ways; and the way of peace they have not known? “ Romans 3:15-17. [N.K.J.V.]
    Second, those Muslim villain who went after at police officer with a meat cleaver with murderous intentions are blatant villains. The Bible teaches that a murderer “will not inherit the kingdom of God. “ Galatians 5:21. Furthermore, in the Bible in Romans 13: 1, 2 it is written “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore, whoever resists the authority resist resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.” In addition to all this, in verses 3 and 4 in this same chapter of the Epistle of Romans, with emphasis on verse 4 it actually refers to governmental law enforcement officers as a type of “ministers of God” Therefore, it stands to reason that going after wit ha meat cleaver or any item used as a weapon police officers is really, assaulting with malice intentions ministers of God. How evil, how heinously wicked, how demonic, how monstrous. What and affront to all that is decent, good and right.

      Indeed true, Walter! Great comment!

    First, In the Bible it gives the account of the Prophet Elijah declared “If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal be ,then follow him.” First Kings 18:21.[N.K.J.V.] In other words follow one of the other. Not both.
    Second, many people say that the God of the Bible and the god of Islam are one the same. Is the majority always right? That’s not always the case. As an example the Christian pastor and scholar, Michael Youssef, who is also an Arab in his book entitled JESUS, JIHAD AND PEACE on page 69 informs the reader that “The name Allah comes from pre-Islamic times, and it corresponds to the Babylonian mane Bel or Baal. According to the Middle East scholar E.M. Wherry, pre-Islamic Arabs worshiped gods they called Allah. Both pre-Islamic Allah-worship and Baal –worship involved worship of the sun, the moon and the stars, which is why they are called astral religions. The crescent moon, the symbol of pagan moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam. It is printed on flags of many Islamic countries and placed atop minarets and mosques.” Likewise, a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Dr. Daniel Shayesteh, who used to live in the Middle East but now he lives in America . In his book ISLAM AND THE SON OF GOD. On pages 7,8. Reads “Allah is the generic term for God in many Middle –Eastern cultures. Allah is identified as one of the 360 or so idols worshiped by the Arabian people for centuries before Muhammad was born. Many do not know that Allah was the good god of the Arabians. This explains the crescent moon found on minarets and mosques and the flags of Muslim nations. .. .Historic writings also identify Allah with Baal.” It’s also worth mentioning that the Bible condemns such astral religions. As in, for example, Second Kings 23:5.
    Therefore, now in modern times, it may be rightly said “If Yahweh Lord of the Bible , be the one True God follow Him. Yet if Allah the lord of Islam be the one true god then follow him.” The case is very clear cut.

      Another great comment, thank you, Walter. And I always learn so much from your contributions; and I love the word of God—it’s like food for my soul!

    …………………………….

    This just shows how meaningless such threat assessments are.

    More:

    “Meat cleaver madman, a Palestinian, was in Midtown to appeal deportation order before he sliced cop”
    …………………………….

    Uh huh–isn’t attacking a police officer with a meat cleaver how you always appeal deportation? sarc/off

      It’s time for American govt. to declare that there’s NO “Palestine” in Middle East.

    It is clear to me that we need Meat Cleaver Control.

    10 day waiting period before purchase would have given this poor mentally ill person time to cool off.

    We also need a total ban on all assault meat cleaners which have military features.

    ““Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God”

    “governmental law enforcement officers as a type of “ministers of God”

    l seriously doubt any of that would apply in present day.
    Cops [esp. america] are a ‘Necessary Evil’ and sadistic thugs for the most part. Obviously, in this case they were in the right, but more often than not, they’re psychopathic by nature. Many psychopaths are being recruited into police forces these days. ln many countries the police are a curse on society. We’ve seen plenty of instances on this blog where cops help muslims and persecute those who criticise lslam. So, please, can we hear less about the sanctity of cops, because corruption is rife in every police force around the world. The verse you keep quoting only refers to ancient times when there were probably only a handful of cops anyway. And l think it’s highly unlikely that it came from God, and not someone else.

    Here is how it is:

    Not how it should be, or how one would like to imagine it to be, or what is right versus what is wrong, disregarding who gets the Nobel Prize or wins the popularity contest of her/his mind:

    We are in it deep with this self-hating cultural revolution. The only thing that will save us from ourselves now is the Original Motivator: Pain.

    We’ll need a poisoned water supply. Dead heads of state. Hacked power grids. You name it. The writing has been on the wall since 9/11 as to what they’re capable of, and it’s been ignored.

    Don’t expect it to get better before it gets a lot worse. Thank your politicians and those who elected them for it all.

    If we didn’t pretend there was more Islamophobia than anti-Semitism, it would have been easier to recognize Joudeh as a terror threat.

    Meat cleaver madman, a Palestinian

    Oh, look, what a surprise… /sarc. off

    was in Midtown to appeal deportation order before he sliced cop

    Thus proving the authorities right. You know, if there was a moratorium on migration from areas plagued by terrorism this attack could have probably be avoided.

    If you say ‘Allahu Akbar’ it means ‘ Allah is greater’. It does not mean, ‘ I am mentally sick.’

    Dear A Former Muslim: What specifically Allahu Akbar means…Allah is Graet, Allah is Greater or Allah is The Greatest?. Thank you.

    Mentally ill my foot! Saying that they are mentally ill excuses their behaviour. These Moslem monsters know exactly what they are doing. Enough is enough. Time to do unto them as they do unto others and swiftly execute.

    Our Dear Leaders apparently believe ‘Allahu Akbar!’ translates as “Nothing to do with Islam.”
