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

NY: Second source, former stepfather of man who stabbed Jews celebrating Hanukkah, says he “identifies as a Muslim”

Jan 2, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Will New York authorities investigate this possibility and its implications? Of course not. As far as they’re concerned in the city of 9/11, jihad terror and Islamic antisemitism do not exist, and anyone who thinks otherwise is the real problem.

More on this story. “Monsey Stabber: A Halachic Analysis,” by Rabbi Yair Hoffman, 5TJT.com via Vos Iz Neias?, January 2, 2020 (thanks to Andrew Bostom):

He had an 18 inch Ozark Trail machete, and he tried murdering Jews. Grafton Thomas is also 6”5 and over 200 pounds. The journals that Thomas left behind mention the Black Hebrew Israelites, Adolf Hitler, and some more anti-Semitic references. His former stepfather, Joe Kennedy informs us that Grafton Thomas, age 37, identifies as a Muslim. During the attack he told everyone, “No one is leaving.”

Someone threw a table at him. After he tried entering the shul next door and was blocked – he eventually escaped into his car and another person memorized his license plate….

    As every where in the West the main perpetrator when it comes to Jew-hating incidents are Moslems. MSM mentions these facts neither in Europe nor elsewhere.

    This is a would be homicidal murderer, who with malice aforethought, invaded a home to slaughter, tried to invade a synagogue, and slaughter, and realizing he couldn’t accomplish all he wanted, ran, drove and hid and tried to wash away the blood evidence off him. His mommy tried to blame a city and nation for not having the services for his bi polar and schizophrenia.
    Meanwhile schizophrenics don’t try to homicide but homicidal would be killers do. And now of course, it is essentially confirmed that amongst all his jew hating searches of hitler, his muslim world view completed his self righteous serial killer of Jews.
    He should be tried and his punishment should be the electric chair. And of course, if people really want to anoint him as a mentally ill oppressed by lack of state services meme, then give him a free ticket to Old Sparky. He should be punished with his own execution.

    One of his victims is on life support with a skull fracture and brain damage. Pamela Geller has an article with a picture:

      Thank you for the link, Michael. That sure is a hard photo to stomach. If true it was released by the family I commend their candid portrayal of just how barbaric this attack was.

        “The Management of Savagery” is the title of Islamic State’s handbook for their fighters.

    ……………….

    Thanks for further confirmation of this.

    He “identifies as a Muslim.”

    Of course he does. Too bad he didn’t turn to Buddhism or Christianity or Hinduism or… or… or…

    But I digress.

      Hadn’t he just turned AWAY from.Christianity?

      • gravenimage says

        Jan 2, 2020 at 8:18 pm

        True, Jayell. One of the people insisting that he was such a nice guy was his former pastor.

    beard…muslim

    • gravenimage says

      Not everyone with a beard is Muslim. Robert Spencer wears a beard. Anti-Jihadist Mark Styne wears a beard. My husband has a beard.

      But yes–untrimmed beards are usually a bad sigh.

      • Jayell says

        Jan 2, 2020 at 8:19 pm

        I believe that, apart from the perennial inappropriate night attire, the signs include (a) the untrimmed beard, (b) the finger pointing up and (c) the ‘Norman Bates’ smug smirk. The final sign (handcuffs or straightjacket) should become evident once (a), (b) and (c) have been successfully identified.

        • gravenimage says

          Jan 2, 2020 at 8:32 pm

          Spot on, Jayell!

          And I meant “sign”, not “sigh” in my post above.

        Mark Steyn over the last year or so has occasionally shaved, and looks great when he does. I’m somewhat not impressed by the trend towards beards by millennials.

        One distinguishing feature of some devout Muslims is that the mustache is shaved, even if the beard is on. You see that, you pretty much know it’s a Jihadist

    If Muslim the Democrats will let him off easy

    He’s a Muzzie? No way! How shocking! An admission like that is usually followed by a statement like “authorities are still looking for a motive”

      No, they’re just assigning that to their Black race. Never mind that not all Blacks are Judeophobic

    The family and the media screeching mental illness before the bodies were even buried.
    This was a dead giveaway.
