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

NYC: Convert to Islam pledges allegiance to ISIS, tells cops “You’re lucky I didn’t shoot you”

Nov 4, 2017 9:47 am By Robert Spencer

Here we go again: yet another convert to Islam gets the idea that his new religion requires him to commit treason and murder. Authorities, as always, remain resolutely incurious about this recurring phenomenon, and continue to insist that it’s a Religion of Peace.

“Armed ISIS-obsessed murder suspect busted at Port Authority,” by Gina Daidone and Larry Celona, New York Post, November 1, 2017:

Authorities busted a murder suspect who had pledged allegiance to ISIS after spotting the armed man at a Midtown bus terminal Wednesday morning, officials said.

Matthew Passaro, 46 who also goes by his adopted Muslim name “Abu Bakar Hussain” was grabbed by Port Authority police near the Greyhound terminal on 42nd Street at around 10:30 am, said Port Authority spokesman Joe Pentangelo.

According to officials, he is known to frequent the Al-Farooq mosque on Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn.

Police were able to identify Passaro by facial scars and tattoos, a Freddy Kruger tattoo on his arm and “Pimps up, Ho’s Down” on his hand.

Passaro, who is homeless, had a loaded 45. caliber pistol and two additional magazines when he was arrested.

After being placed in custody, Passaro became irate and threatened cops stating “you are lucky I didn’t shoot you”, officials said.

Passaro is wanted for the fatal shooting of a man in Brooklyn on Sept 20th, as well as several other shooting incidents in California and Las Vegas, including an attempted murder….

    – “Islam was NEVER A RELIGION OF PEACE. Islam is the RELIGION OF FIGHTING*.”

    – Caliph of All Islam, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, (BA,MA,PhD in Islamic studies) (*Arabic “q-t-l” = fight to the death)

    Anyone, who has read and studied the primary Islamic source texts, knows that Matthew Passaro has understood those texts correctly. His behavior is that of Mohammed and his companions in the Sira and hadiths.

    In jihad, a sadistic killer like Matthew Passaro gets to have it both ways. If he commits murder, theft, rape or torture during jihad he becomes a hero to fellow Muslims and a martyr in the eyes of Allah. He will be rewarded by Allah for his crimes with 72 virgin slaves and 70,000 other slaves in Islamic paradise in addition to an eternal erection. Why would a violent sociopath not join such a cult? For that reason, Islam should not be permitted in jails. It encourages sociopathy, rather than restrains it.

      Exactly, mortimer ! This evil ideology FITS PERFECTLY with an ANGRY person, a sociopath or other deranged individual . People who are MAD at the world or THEIR COUNTRY would certainly be open to an ideology that says to ATTACK unbelievers and rape infidel women . Certainly, people who feel they have been discriminated against in some way by society like Passaro . The man who BEHEADED a woman in Oklahoma at work was an angry man CONVERTED TO ISLAM …in PRISON.

      Yes–it is foolish in the extreme to let Islam into the prisons. But dhimmis assume it is a force for reform of prisoners, just as is Christianity.

      Instead, Islam sacralizes almost all criminal behavior, as long as the victims are Infidels.

    Why are our western governments not putting real action into stopping this Islamic/Moslem invasion?

    I found this radio show very interesting in trying to find answers into the above question. Are we under a oligarchic/corporate control world???

    Craig B. Hulet offered commentary on conspiracies, and topics in the news, including the new USA Liberty Act, oligarchic/corporate control.

    Put this guy in a cage and do not let him out until we find out if he’s an early-stage serial killer or a jihadi in training. He can’t afford flop-house rent, but he’s got 2 guns plus ammo. Maybe he just shoots other scum, but do we want him going after bikers, shoppers or school-kids? How about caring for the rights of ordinary citizens for a change?

    If his heart belongs to ISIS, ship him to ISIS-land. The locals will handle him, I’m sure.

    Another imbecile convert to islam who cannot differentiate between allah,the god of murder and hate
    and Almighty God,the God of the Commandments.

    The God of Moses
    The God of the Two chief Commandments
    The God of the 10 Commandments which includes prohibitions on wilful murder,bearing false witness etc
    That is God and His laws.

    versus

    allah who “curses the Jews and the Christians” koran 9:30
    allah who tells his followers that it is OK to sin against God by violating His Commandments.
    allah who really hates the Jews{despite the fact that 1.ALL Biblical prophets including Moses and Jesus Christ were…Jewish and 2. the Jews were given a role in God’s plan of salvation:something which allah -ludicrously- doesn’t understand!!}

    I mean, it is not rocket science!

    God or allah?
    If you choose allah over God then you are an imbecile and will most certainly be the chaff in God’s Justice.If you choose the wicked way of allah and live by the sword you will die by the sword and you must certainly will NOT be spared by God.

    Converts to islam are offered a neat package by allah:murder infidels and be rewarded in paradise,feel free to lie,cheat and steal,indulge in polygamy etc

    islam attracts the immoral,the stupid and the disordered.

    Converts to islam feel they are suddenly free to break God’s Commandments because the koran says you can,or that they are free to commit murder and treason and be rewarded in paradide by allah….for doing EVIL!

    People join other religions all the time but they do not suddenly feel entitled to do evil;it is always the converts to islam who do just that.

    Ban Islam,close all the mosques and stop further Muslim Immigration to the Western countries .Every Muslim to be considered a potential terrorist until proven otherwise .Muslims expect the best treatment in Non-Muslim countries and give the worst treatment to Non-Muslims in their own countries.

    As was pointed out by Fitzgerald a couple of years ago, recent converts to Islam can be especially explosive because they’ve studied the Holy Ko-Ran and, as newbies, are ready to act on it. There is no “cultural Moslem” temperance on the newfound zeal.

    That gentleman and islam look like a perfect match. Not exactly made in heaven, but hey. I am starting to believe that the authorities are right when they always say that jihadis are insane, it is just the part about islam having nothing to do with their insanity that I have trouble with.

      Sir .Winston Churchill wrote that ISLAM IN A MUSLM WAS LIKE RABIES N A DOG .Hence ,what can one expect from these RABID DOGS?

      Yes–since he has already killed, from the sound of things–and from his threat to the police.

        And in the good old USA crazies like him have free access to guns. But that is what your forefathers wanted – put a gun in the hands of everyone with a screw loose and every criminal.

          Nov 5, 2017 at 2:21 pm

          Yes, that’s exactly what they wanted…..sheesh, where’dya get your information on US firearms laws buddy, the communist manifesto or something?

    Sounds like a very unstable and possibly disturbed individual found a very destabilizing and definitely disturbing religion to call home.

    Also sounds like the brave officers on patrol had a long history with this guy and have likely saved some people on the street from harm.

    Well Done those Officers!

    One of the *very* few times I have seen a news source actually cite a Jihadist’s Muslim name. Kudos to the New York Post.

    Westerners who convert to Islam are crazy. You’ve said enough about this poor, homeless man for everyone to suspect that his middle name may be Unhinged. Now he’s joined a movement tailor-made for mad crazies. Islam will appeal to those with a screw loose.
