Brooklyn: Muslim migrant slashes cop in neck, probed for links to jihad terror groups

Jun 5, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)

“Man who slashed Brooklyn cop in neck probed for terror links: sources,” by Wes Parnell, Rocco Parascandola, Graham Rayman and Thomas Tracy, New York Daily News, June 4, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A man shot by police after he slashed an officer in the neck in Brooklyn is being investigated for possible links to terrorism, police sources said Thursday.

The suspect, 20-year-old Dzenan Camovic, has no criminal history — but the Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating his background, sources said, and whether he is linked to ISIS or other terror groups….

Camovic is an immigrant, possibly from Bosnia, officials and neighbors of the suspect said.

All three of the cops wounded in the clash with Camovic were also immigrants, Mayor de Blasio said….

Federal agents on Thursday raided Camovic’s home on E. 22nd St. near Newkirk Ave. in Flatbush — roughly a mile from the fracas — as stunned neighbors looked on.

“I was shocked to hear that he stabbed a police officer and then they shot him and he’s still alive, it’s amazing,” said neighbor David Song. “He seemed so quiet and like a nice guy. I don’t know what made him come out like that. He never seemed angry.”

The suspect, 20-year-old Dzenan Camovic, has no criminal history — but the Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating his background, sources said, and whether he is linked to ISIS or other terror groups.

Camovic was critically wounded by police gunfire late Wednesday night after slashing Officer Yayonfrant Jean Pierre in the neck in what de Blasio called an “absolutely unprovoked attack.”…

The two shot cops were identified by authorities as Officers Randy Ramnarine and Dexter Chiu….

A relative of the suspect, who declined to give his name, said terrorist ties are out of the question.

“Absolutely not,” the relative said.

“I have the utmost respect for law enforcement, but it’s easy to accuse a Muslim of terrorism. It’s the first offense that comes to mind when someone mentions Muslim. He might have been attacked yesterday. He could have been provoked, and he might have mentioned, like anyone would mention, God. He might have said Allah, but no one knows. I just hope law enforcement will do their due diligence.”…

      It’s sad to say but what other reason would a young man with no previous criminal history do that. Maybe he had undiagnosed, uncontrolled, drug fuelled schizophrenia but it doesn’t sound like it so far…

      • gravenimage says

        Jun 6, 2020 at 9:16 pm

        He’s only been in the US for a short time, Ian–and we don’t know what he did back in Dar-al-Islam. I would assume this is his first act of violence.

    It’s easy to accuse a Muslim of terrorism because their god urges them to terrorize all Infidels. Just read the Koran.

    • mortimer says

      Jun 6, 2020 at 2:22 am

      Response to CogitoErgoSum : It’s easy to accuse Muslims of terrorism because there are an average of 5 jihad attacks every day with 50 killed every day of the year.

      It’s easy to accuse a Muslin of terrorism. Especially when he has a knife in his hand and attacks a cop.

    • Iambob says

      Jun 6, 2020 at 12:56 pm

      “…the Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating his background, sources said, and whether he is linked to ISIS or other terror groups….”

      Since he’s a Muslim, look first at Islam whose idol god (Satan-duplicitously named ‘Allah’) commands that he do exactly as he did.

      And, then, read John 10: 10 where Jesus said Satan comes to ‘kill, steal and destroy.’

      Two core, and indisputable, insights the ‘Joint Terrorism Task Force will never explore or examine. No one they’re failing as miserably as they are in protecting us.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 5, 2020 at 9:23 pm

      OTTER, the NYT *has* covered this story:

      “Police Shoot Brooklyn Man After He Stabs Officer, Officials Say”

      https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/04/nyregion/nypd-officers-shot-brooklyn.html

      But they never identify the assailant as Muslim, and offer this idiocy about his possible motives:

      “It was unclear why Mr. Camovic, who is white, had attacked the police officers, or whether his anger had anything to do with the citywide curfew or the protests.”

      • Westman says

        Jun 6, 2020 at 8:25 am

        “The actual NYT message: It was unclear why Mr. Camovic, who is white(hint-not arab, maybe Antifa), had attacked the police officers (hint-was provoked by officers), or whether his anger(hint-no intent, temporary insanity) had anything to do with the citywide curfew or the protests.”

        NYT message cleaned up: “It was clear that Mr. Camovic, not a Muslim and likely Antifa, was overcome with emotion due to harassment and insensitivity by police during the protest. He suffered temporary insanity, and with no intent to do harm, slashed a police officer.”

        One thing is certain: In an age of direct over-communication, the media attempt to remove a President and its obscured news that constantly tells citizens to ignore their “lying eyes”, the former trusted Media have lost credibility that will never be recovered.

        The “news” media is now what would be expected in a Bananna Republic – bought, political, and subversive.

        • gravenimage says

          Jun 6, 2020 at 10:01 pm

          Yes–this was the basic “message” from the NYT, Westman.

    FBI probes if Brooklyn cop attack was homegrown extremism

    • winoceros says

      Jun 5, 2020 at 6:31 pm

      What the hell is homegrown extremism? If he’s a Muslim immigrant, he still is and if he was born here, he’s still a Muslim. One can read Mein Kampf and become a Nazi so why can’t a Q’uran make you attack and kill in the name of Allah?

      • gravenimage says

        Jun 7, 2020 at 7:38 pm

        True, Winoceros–how is this “homegrown” if he is an immigrant?

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 5, 2020 at 9:25 pm

      Thanks, Martin.

      At least they are calling it “extremism”, insufficient a term as that is. Before, the implication was that unless someone was a card-carrying member of ISIS that it could not be terrorism.

      • Robert Porter says

        Jun 6, 2020 at 6:46 am

        gravenimage – Almost always the same saggy-eyed, brooding, degenerate, Satanic Muslim look. What kind of morons allow people with their Islamic beliefs into a Western country? By now even an imbecile knows they won’t assimilate, so why do Westerners allow them in? Tolerance gone mad. For God’s sake allow them to rot in their Muslim hell holes, their evil ideology with it vile excuse for a god and pukey ‘prophet’ who never prophesied a thing made them this way.

        • gravenimage says

          There is a lot of willful ignorance about the threat of Islam, Robert.

        Jun 6, 2020 at 12:24 pm

        Also, there is no mention of “mental issues”.

      Suspected cop-stabber yelled ‘Allahu akbar’ during attack, police say

      The man accused of shooting two cops and stabbing a third in Brooklyn this week screamed “Allahu akbar!” three times during the unprovoked attack, police said Saturday.

      Authorities have so far been unable to tie the man, Dzenan Camovic, to any organized terror group, but there are indications that his alleged tactics and ambush were similar to anti-police attacks in Paris and elsewhere, according to John Miller, the NYPD’s deputy commissioner of counter terrorism.

      “All the hallmarks that would be out of the terrorist playbook,” Miller said at a briefing from NYPD headquarters in lower Manhattan

      […]A relative told The Post Thursday that Camovic, whose family hails from Bosnia, is a practicing Muslim and “absolutely not a terrorist.”

      […]

      • Rose Coveney says

        Jun 7, 2020 at 6:49 pm

        The fact that he screamed “Allahu akbar” is his self identification as ‘jihad’. Case closed. Take your head out of the sand.

        • gravenimage says

          Jun 7, 2020 at 7:04 pm

          Rose, Martin is a staunch Anti-Jihadist here. He is quoting an article from the NY Post, not citing his own views.

      Good to see, Eduardo. David Wood is indeed great.

      Unfortunately, I have heard elsewhere that the number of apostates from Islam is cancelled out by moronic Westerners converting *to* that foul creed.

    “I just hope law enforcement will do their due diligence.”…
    —
    so do i … but i doubt that they will, because, well, doncha know, anybody who thinks ill of a MUSLIM must be, well, ya know, an ISLAMOPHOBE. and there’s NOTHING worse than THAT!

    f***ing nazicrats and f***ing pious muslims – lying, perverted, monstrous, and evil to the bone to a man.

  8. b.a. freeman says

    Jun 5, 2020 at 8:07 pm

    sady, CES, nobody will read their quran. and even if they do, they’ll do so believing that it is their entire canon, when it is not. because of its disjointed presentation, they probably won’t even get as far as quran 2:106, nor will they understand its significance as justification for abrogation, of which they will also be unaware. they’ll also not see any of the context, because there is none in the quran, the context being provided by the sunnah and the sira. but of course, the lying leftists who indoctrinated our parents, us, our children, and our grandchildren are the ones who have ENSURED that nobody knows any of this. finally, having been indoctrinated and inoculated against critical thinking, only a tiny minority of non-muslims will actually attempt to learn ANYthing about this f***ing pirate cult, because they’ll believe that it is just another religion, and since all religions are stupid, there is absolutely NO reason the learn ANYTHING about it.

    i HATE hard-core leftist ideology (and pity the nominal leftists, who are that way because they were indoctrinated and don’t know any better). i HATE islam (and pity the ummah, who blindly think that evil is good, and good is evil). both belief systems are evil beyond belief, and at this point, only God Himself can undo and stop the poison. may He have mercy on us all.

    NY Post says: “Dzenan Camovic, who is suspected of stabbing an NYPD cop in the neck without warning, is a “practicing Muslim” whose family is from Bosnia — but he’s “absolutely not a terrorist,” a relative said.”

    Firstly, thanks … he isn’t a terrorist … so what does ‘Sudden Jihad Syndrome’ mean?

    Bosnia used to be a laid-back place until the Saudis built a mosque and sent a Salafist imam to stir up fanaticism.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 6, 2020 at 10:05 pm

      Not all that laid-back, Mortimer. The mess that is Bosnia dates back to the brutal Muslim Ottoman invasion of the Balkans.

  16. wpm says

    Jun 6, 2020 at 6:05 am

    I am so glad the “media” would ask a relative of Dzenan Camovic for his “opinion” if he was a terrorist ,they can be no bias from another Muslim relative on what is considered a terrorist act against the country that welcome this cancer with open arms.

  17. Linde Barrera says

    Jun 6, 2020 at 11:43 am

    I hope and pray that all the police officers in this bizarre case recover. The suspect should be deported, in my opinion.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 6, 2020 at 10:06 pm

      Agree, Linde–and his family, Mosque, and all associates should be thoroughly investigated, as well.

  18. Michael Copeland says

    Jun 6, 2020 at 12:22 pm

    “….the Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating his background, sources said, and whether he is linked to ISIS or other terror groups.”
    He may be linked with ISIS, or other terror groups, or he may just be an observant muslim.

    Do the Joint Terrorism Task Force think there is a difference?
    Are they able to define what it is?

    How long will it be until the authorities grasp that this attacker’s actions are basic Islam, as instructed in the mosques?

    There will be many more.
