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

Arizona: Muslim declares support for the Islamic State, throws rocks at cop, brandishes knife and charges at him

Feb 17, 2019 3:21 pm By Robert Spencer

Will the Islamophobia never end? Here is an incident that will become an ever more familiar part of the American landscape.

“TERROR STAND-OFF Knife-wielding ‘terror lone wolf’ who pledged allegiance to ISIS is shot as he charged at Arizona cop in bodycam vid,” by Jenny Awford, The Sun, February 16, 2019:

AN ISIS supporting teen who pledged allegiance to the terror group was shot by a cop after charging at the police officer with a knife.

Bodycam footage shows Ismail Hamed, 18, throwing rocks before brandishing a knife towards a cop outside a sheriff’s substation in Arizona.

He was trying to “promote terror” by harming the deputy in the lone wolf attack, according to investigators.

Before the attack, Hamed told a 911 operator that he pledged allegiance to the ISIS and wanted to meet face-to-face with an officer so he could “deal with them”.

“My name is Ismail Hamed,” he told an operator, according to one of the 911 call recordings.

“I live in Fountain Hills, and I’m owing my allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

“I just want a cop to come real quick and I want to deal with them.

“I’d like to do something in protest for the people suffering in Palestine and in the Middle East.”
‘LONE WOLF’ ATTACK

Bodycam footage later shows Hamed talking to Maricopa County Sheriff’s Sgt. Brandon Wells in a car park.

When the sergeant asked for Hamed’s identification, Hamed started throwing rocks at the officer, prompting the sergeant to pull out his handgun and point it at the suspect.

Hamed then pulled out a knife and walked toward the sergeant despite the cop warning: “I will shoot you.”

The terror suspect ignored the sergeant’s warning to drop the knife….

    Call him Ismail, or Mohammed or Achmed etc… How can they explain it when kids this young are behaving like maniacs.

      He’s an adult. The explanation is the teachings of Islam.

        Such terror attacks in the West are a waste of time and energy. (It’s official.)

        An Islamic cleric recently said, “don’t waste your time. We will conquer Europe through the womb and the ballot box.”

          Islam is def an evil ideology that should be banned everywhere. Why di liberals defend the so called religion.

        Both violent and stealth Jihad are threats, and have the same goal.

    Obviously Islamophobia..everyone knows a knife..as are rocks..are part of Islamic culture..and who in their right mind would be concerned about a Mohammedan getting up close and personal while sharing his culture. ?

      Just glad they were able to send out cops who had some idea of what they were facing. This could have been much worse if the cops hadn’t known his violent intent, or if he had targeted a civilian. I imagine his goal was to be “martyred” by the police.

        Shit for brains got his wish. Wonder how those virgins are working out for him.
        The cop did the right thing and should get a commendation for his service to civilization.

        • gravenimage says

          Feb 17, 2019 at 6:47 pm

          No virgins for this Jihadist, Keith.

          Here’s the rest of the Sun article:

          “Eventually, the sergeant fired at Hamed, causing him to fall to the ground.

          Hamed, who survived his injuries, has pleaded not guilty to aggravated assault and terrorism charges.”

    Arizona: Muslim declares support for the Islamic State, throws rocks at cop, brandishes knife and charges at him
    ………………………

    Glad he was stopped.

    • Giacomo Latta says

      Feb 18, 2019 at 5:11 pm

      Glad he was even stupider than the average muslim. This kind of stupidity is starting to get tiring.

    Ismail may have been setting the “suicide by cop” stage but he failed miserably if that was his objective.

    He took two bullets but wasn’t seriously injured.

    I just can’t believe that he summoned an Arizona police officer to settle a score he had with the US and Palestine. He threw rocks and brandished a knife. Not exactly a seasoned jihadist.

    I smell an insanity defense on the horizon…

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 17, 2019 at 7:41 pm

      Probably so, Ashley. He’s already pled not guilty.

    • Spiro says

      Feb 19, 2019 at 2:10 pm

      Of course he will use insanity defense
      They all do when caught
      That brings up my frequent though
      Muslim uses insanity defense so they know their insane and Muslim : so to be Muslim is to be insane ?

    Lone wolf attacks;I think they must mean a global pack of “lone wolves”

    BTW,it is probably not a good idea to bring a rock and a knife to a…gun fight..

  7. Prebangian says

    Feb 17, 2019 at 6:26 pm

    It’s clear that terrorist Ismail Hamed’s attempted murder of a police officer was motivated by Ilhan Omar’s anti Israel/pro Palestinian ate speech.

    Stunning and instructive how so many Muslims keep getting the peaceful, tolerant religion of Islam so terribly “wrong.” You’d think by now most folks in the USA, in the West, and across the world would, duh, wonder why Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, et al. don’t get their religion so terribly wrong as so many Muslims do (34,000+ Islamic terrorist attacks just since 9/11, never mind the the hundreds of millions slaughtered in the name of Islam from its inception DUE TO Islam’s theological blueprint, contra other religions’ theory such as Christianity). Surely.

    Yes, you’d be correct to think this by now but, if you did, you would be nothing more than another rank Islamophobe. Surely.

    The Age of Nonsense marches on and few errors profit from nonsense nearly as much as Islam and Leftism do. Surely.

    A little time on the gun range will improve the officers chances of saving court and jail costs involving Muslims.

    Don’t ever forget that allowing them to hold offices high in our government is exactly what they want. They know they cannot compete on a one-to-one basis, but let them into the government and they can pretty much change laws, etc.

    This is known as judicial jihad. They need to be removed from political office and sent back to their own countries. We would put them on the backs of camels and lead them to the Atlantic Ocean. Just hope they and the camel can hold their breath till they reach home.

    Did the deputy kill the idiot? If not he needs better training.

    • Ashley says

      Feb 18, 2019 at 6:25 pm

      No…the idiot is just fine.

      No doubt undergoing counseling because he has PTSD for stubbing his toe at age 4.

    That jihad- minded ISIS Muslim who threatened with a knife a police officer, obviously, must have murderous intentions. They 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.” [N.K.J.V.] 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 engaging in violence towards police officers are really, engaging in violence towards ministers of God. How evil, how heinously wicked, how demonic, how monstrous. What and affront to all that is decent, good and right.

    (This happened) ‘ in that “other” Arizona, the one, probably, across the pond … probably … hopefully…
