This was not a jihad attack, but it is noteworthy that the murderers were inspired by the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan. There can be little doubt that Farrakhan’s venomous Jew-hatred is derived from Qur’anic antisemitism. Compare Farrakhan’s statements about Jews to the Qur’an, which depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).
“Suspect in Jersey City Linked to Black Hebrew Israelite Group,” by Michael Gold and Ali Watkins, New York Times, December 11, 2019:
…Sometime after Mr. Anderson moved in, the neighbor began hearing noises from downstairs.
Mr. Anderson repeatedly played audio recordings of a man the neighbor believed to be Louis Farrakhan, and sounded like he himself was growing agitated. He shouted bible verses and then chanted out his interpretations of what they meant.
The neighbor said the most common theme was that Mr. Anderson’s religion was the only true faith while others — specifically Catholicism and Judaism — were false.
He soon heard Ms. Graham join in the chanting and said she sounded “coerced.”
She quit paying her common charges for the condominium they shared and also stopped paying her water bill, he said.
Eventually, in 2018, her condo unit went into foreclosure, the neighbor said. She and Mr. Anderson were evicted, but they repeatedly busted into their former home to spend the day there, leaving each day around 6 p.m.
As for Ms. Graham, he said he had not seen her in a year. He learned of the Jersey City shooting when the police banged on his door at 2:30 a.m.
A kosher market was targeted.
Mayor Fulop said on Wednesday that surveillance footage revealed that after the two assailants shot Detective Seals in an encounter at a cemetery, they drove slowly and deliberately to the kosher market, roughly a mile away.
“The perpetrators stopped in front of there and calmly opened the door with two long rifles,” he said.
Mr. Fulop and Jersey City’s public safety director, James Shea, said that after the attackers left the van, they walked past others on the street and aimed at people inside the kosher supermarket….
Old Fat Bald Socially Inept Ron says
When the defense of Islam’s public image is Job #1, and must be protected, all crimes committed in its name are to be concealed or blamed on other factors.
Initially we were told these killers were Black Israelites (the true Jews).
Now we are leaked evidence that the killer’s inspiration came from the Quran and the Nation of ISLAM….
Ha ha ha, you couldn’t make this crap up.
MTMLA says
I thoughy these people were acting a lot like muslimes.
Sabri S. says
Lies…nothing but a lie…no real muslim would go anywhere near a hebrew israelite…they have diametrically opposing religious and social views. Stop blaspheming the great Louis farrakhan. He speaks the truth if nothing else. And he has never harmed or called for ALL jews to be harmed. He speaks against only the satanic, ashkenazi zionist who occupy Palestine for now…too much a stretch to link these two opposite religious groups. Allah u akbar!
carpediadem says
Stop vomiting your hatred here. That’s what bathrooms are for. Go find one.
Westman says
Remember a targeted killing at a Jewish store in Paris that was connected with the Hebdo massacre?
I once thought, many years ago, that Farrakhan might be good for African-Americans until I learned more about he and Elijah and the murder of MalcomX for uncovering Elijah’s spreading of his genes among the young unmarried women of the flock. The “great” Louis is a thug.
John Sun says
The big majority in Israel are the Sepharadic Jews. Yes, the children and grandchildren that were kicked out or had to run for their lives from the Arab/amuslim countries. There were close to 1 million Sepharadic Jews, refugees, who had to leave all their properties behined and start from scratch.
They found shelter in Israel, never received a penny from the UN, they worked hard and were not depended on the UN. Their children and grandchildren don’t keep saying that they are refugees, like the Palestinians say about themselves.
The refugee title is only for 1 generation, it does not go to the next generations. Be realistic.
gravenimage says
So true John. Both Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews–over 900,000 of them–were stripped of everything they owned and expelled by Muslims in 1948. Many of these communities had existed for thousands of years, predating Islam.

The “Black Hebrew Israelites” were inspired by the foul Louis Farrakhan–he didn’t have to meet with them personally. And both groups are Black Nationalist and generally antisemitic. This last is not contradictory–BHI claims that they are the “real” Jews, and that all actual Jews should be enslaved. This sect seems to have ‘graduated’ to murder.
And Farrakhan has never called for only Ashkenazi Zionists to be murdered–he has ranted about “Satanic Jews” and “bloodsuckers” and has called Hitler a “great man” for murdering them.
Khalid Abdul Muhammad, an adviser to Farrakhan, said “You see, everybody always talk about Hitler exterminating 6 million Jews…but don’t nobody ever asked what did they do to Hitler?”
Then, Sabri S.’s claim that he only wants to destroy Israel and murder all the Jews because of the existence of Ashkenazi Jews is also bizarre–he has claimed that Mizrahi (Middle Eastern) and Black Jews (Ethiopians and Eritreans, not “Black Hebrew Israelites”) all hate Israel, and want to see Muslims destroy her and slaughter all of the Jews, including themselves. He has even claimed that Ethiopian Jews hate Israel for saving them from genocide. Bizarre and disturbing stuff.
Battle says
Victims families should sue Farrakhan and Nation Of Islam.
James Lincoln says
Battle,
Interesting angle. I remember the 1981 lynching – that bankrupted an Alabama KKK.

SemiDave says
Strange people those submitters.
“ they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64)“ referring to Jews!
Yet these same submitters deny that God can be triune if it so pleases Him!

Yes, I’ve noticed this myself, SemiDave. Muslims are often inconsistent–save when it comes to violence, of course.
JHL says
Islam is inveterately evil.

Neighbor says couple that murdered Jews in Jersey City kosher market was inspired by Nation of Islam’s Farrakhan
…………………….
Hideous.
And while the Black Hebrew Israelite Group has often been racist and disturbing, this is the first time I have heard of their being violent. That they were inspired by the Black Muslims does not surprise.
Infidel says
Well, the BHI group was the one that really sparked the Covington school controversy last year, when 4 of those thugs confronted schoolkids from that school wearing MAGA hats. Their role in that event was completely overlooked, except by a few like Breitbart, so it should not surprise that that’s emboldened them to escalate their activities from provocation to murder.
They should be declared a terrorist organization. People who want to peacefully peddle the myth that the Hebrews were Blacks and that modern White Jews are not Israelites should do it in the confines of their own groups, but not associate w/ the BHI
gravenimage says
True, Infidel.
As I’ve noted, the BHI have always been bizarre, and are often rude and aggressive–but I had thought they were basically non-violent–until now, that is.
Lydia Church says
And so folks, the root of the problem once again is… (drumroll please)…. again I say the source of the problem is….. (ka-dingk) islam!!!
(Surprise!)
Battle says
Nation Of Islam should be declared a terrorist group.
The left Main Stream Media has covered up for members’ thousands of crimes committed by never asking the religion of those arrested.
FYI says
I always laugh at the publicity posters for Louis farrakhans Saviours’ day as it usually gives the impression that Louis is a saviour himself:there is usually a smiling,beaming face placed in close proximity to the word saviour{sometimes above it,sometimes below it,recently to the side}
Louis is trying to tell us something,isn’t he?
That he is one of the appointed saviours…
warmac9999 says
I didn’t believe the black israelite story from the beginning. Too quick to report. Now it is proven a distraction but it has been dropped as a news story. The idea is to delay things like this to the weekend where it will die.
gravenimage says
What don’t you believe? While the BHI have not generally been actively violent, they have long been aggressively antisemitic against actual Jewish people.
