Cue the chorus of non-Muslim authorities and “experts” to tell Dzenan Camovic “No, your religion did not make you do it.”
Back in the real world, this is a quintessential example of the Leftist/jihadist alliance, as Camovic stabbed an NYPD officer in the neck (“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks,” Qur’an 47:4) during the recent Leftist riots in New York City.
“Immigrant who stabbed cop in neck is ISIS fan, said ‘my religion made me do it’: feds,” by Rebecca Rosenberg, New York Post, August 26, 2020:
A illegal immigrant who stabbed an NYPD officer in the neck then opened fire on cops earlier this year is an ISIS supporter who confessed “my religion made me do it,” federal prosecutors alleged Wednesday.
The accusation came as a federal grand jury indicted Bosnian Dzenan Camovic, 20, for the June incident in Brooklyn, which unfolded against the backdrop of nationwide protests over the police-custody death of George Floyd.
“Dzenan Camovic, an illegal alien and Bosnian national, is alleged to have used the cover of chaos during recent civil unrest in New York City to launch a premeditated and cowardly attack from behind against two New York City Police officers, brutally slashing one with a knife, stealing his weapon and opening fire, and injuring several responding officers,” said Attorney General William Barr in a statement announcing the indictment.
Camovic — a Muslim man living in Brooklyn — allegedly ambushed two officers who were on foot patrol near Flatbush and Church avenues just before midnight on June 3, officials said.
After allegedly stabbing one cop in the neck, he unsuccessfully tried to slice the other officer while shouting in Arabic “God is the greatest,” court papers say.
He then ran back to the first officer, snatched his gun and opened fire on responding cops. During the ensuing gunfight, he shot one officer in the hand and another in the arm, prosecutors allege.
Cops returned fire, striking Camovic multiple times before taking him into custody. The brutal attack was captured on surveillance video and body cameras, officials said.
While recovering at Kings County Hospital, Camovic allegedly told a healthcare worker that he believed he’d killed two cops and claimed “my religion made me do it,” according to court papers. The three injured officers survived.
A subsequent investigation revealed that Camovic had a trove of radical jihadist propaganda on his phone, computer and other electronic devices, officials said.
Camovic allegedly supported ISIS and had used the dark web and various forms of encryption to hide his online activity, according to federal prosecutors.
In the days after the incident, a relative insisted to The Post that while Camovic is a “practicing Muslim,” he’s “absolutely not a terrorist.”…

the left and its sycophants in the legacy media have become virtually unhinged in their efforts to deceive we kuffar, although their continued lies openly connect their deceptions to their ideological forebears – papa joe stalin, mao zedong, etc. – and have shown that the Big Lie still works with those who unhesitatingly trust the f***ing liars.
the shame, and the blood of innocents, is dripping from the hands of the left.

“radical jihadist propaganda …dark web ….my religion made me do it”.
Is there a conncection there?
Can anyone spot it?
Does it “ring a bell” with other incidents?
Learning Curve needed in massive numbers by Law Enforcement, lawyers, and church.
mortimer says
His religion made him do it … in his own words. Not ‘madness’ or mental illness … his ‘religion’ … Islam made him stab a policeman.
Jihadism is the doctrine that claims fighting the kafirs is the highest act in Islam.

Mortimer,
The correct response to “my religion made me do it” is, well the LAW makes us throw your sorry ass in jail for life in solitary confinement!
mortimer says
Camovic’s relative wishes us to believe that no practicing Muslims can be a ‘terrorist’.
Sure.
164 jihad verses in the Koran say that Islam and terrorism are compatible.
Reference: Terrorism Is a Part of Islam
“Whoever says that Islam is free from terrorism or wants to differentiate between Islam and terrorism is committing Al Juhoud and that is Kufr Akbar – and will TAKE THEM OUT of the fold of Islam.
The one who says ‘we should fight against terrorism’, he is fighting against Islam. We know very well that USA meant no one else by the term ‘terrorists’ but Islam and Muslims and the one who wants to avoid terrorism is avoiding Islam.”

So he stabbed a cop in the neck exactly as Allah ordered. Big deal. Can we move on to racist police again?
Dan says
EYA!
Walter Sieruk says
Yes, for once a violent Muslim sis honest enough to come right out and say it that “My religion made me do it.”
That jihad minded Muslims was following the instruction of the Qu ‘ran when he stabbed a police officer
For the Qu’ran instructs in 9;`23. “O You who believe Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you…”
Let’s face it ,stabbing a person in the neck who in not a Muslims is a very effective way of showing him harshness.
Islam what a violent ,brutal and bloodily religion it truly is !
JamesC, says
“ 26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

I know which religion I prefer. Far better to have a religion with higher ethical standards than one can satisfy, than a religion that panders to or commands evil behaviour. Mohammedanism harms Muslims by pandering to their baser appetites.
curious says
“Do unto others as they would do unto you.” Attempted murder does not usually get the death penalty, but it should, at least in this case. His religion commands him to kill non-Muslims, and he got far enough along in that quest that we can see clearly what he would do unto us.
FYI says
Yes,That is the Golden Rule which is so important that it is defined as follows:
“Do for others what you want them to do for you.That is MEANING of the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets”
MATTHEW 7 v 12
Many atheists would agree{i’m an ex atheist}that the Golden Rule is a pretty good rule to have and here it is in the Gospel defined as being the MEANING of the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets.
Needless to say allah COMPLETELY MISSED the Golden Rule{as he did those essential 2 chief commandments of Chief law #1 Deut6:4-9 and Chief law #2 Lev 19:18 which are defined as the ‘WHOLE of the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets depend on these 2 laws” MATTHEW 22 v 37-40}
So the Whole of the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets depend on these 2 chief laws and their MEANING = the Golden Rule.Both Judaism AND Christianity have these things.
And yet it seems ‘allah’ MISSED all that…..
3 questions no islamic ‘scholar’ can answer..{I know the answers: koran 3:54 is a clue}
WHY is the Golden Rule MISSING in islam{it is not even in the koran!}especially given that it is in the Bible a book allah tells muslims to consult{koran 10:94}?
HOW could allah have missed “the Whole of the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets” i.e the 2 chief commandments?
{allah’s greatest commandment “Belief in allah and JIHAD is his cause” MUSLIM 1:149 and the 2nd chief commandment lev19:18 cannot be satisfied in islam due to koran 98:6,non-muslims being classed as “the WORST of created beings” along with islam’s Doctrine of HATE,al walaa wal baraa
WHY are the teachings in the koran in violation of Exodus 20 Decalogue Laws?
{allah permits murder k2;191,stealing koran 48:20:that defeats the purpose of the Law being given in the first place!}
So muslim scholars:where,oh where in islam is the Golden Rule and those essential 2 chief commandments:it seems allah [‘the BEST of deceivers’ koran 3:54} ‘forgot’ them?

Any word on this from the terrorists and terror supporters at the terror organization CAIR?
David D says
What is it that supports the allegation that this demonstrates an alliance of leftists and jihad? Was the perp politically motivated? Or was this the act of a regions fanatic – as are so many Muslims (almost by definition).
gravenimage says
Why is David Darman posting under different usernames here? He has the right to do so, but this seems rather just as though he is trying to make it look as though more people are irked at Robert Spencer for telling the truth here.
Francis Weber says
Quran 8:12 is his justification.
David Darman says
RS’s claim that this incident is “a quintessential example of the Leftist/jihadist alliance” is unsupported by any references in the reportage of the incident or any other logical connection. The attempt to cloak the criminal with an adversarial political identity is further evidence of RS’s constipated thinking. Hey, when the tool you’ve got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Sadly, the left whitewashing Jihad is all too common–I wish this were not so. Castigating anyone who dares to point this out is not actually helpful, though.
David Darman says
There is no way my comment can be interpreted as “whitewashing Jihad.” I simply point out that there is nothing to support RS’s assertion that the criminal’s act is the quintessential example of the Leftist/jihad alliance.” When RS invents the facts to make such assertions, he loses credibility so, unfortunately, he undermines his own effectiveness and influence.
Pointing out the weakness of his argument is not castigating him. It is simply pointing out that he should refrain from overreaching and unpersuasive argument. RS has a perfect right to be a Trump supporter, but let’s not try to group all fanatic Muslims/jihadists as true blue Democrats or “leftists…however that term should be defined. That’s just plain silly, or worse, i.e. demagoguery.
gravenimage says
David, I never said that you were whitewashing Jihad–I plainly said that this is sadly all too common on the left.
And Spencer never said that Jihadists were Democrats–just that too many on the left spout apologia for Islam. And it is not just the left–this is grimly widespread, But it is indeed even more prevalent on the left. I don’t think that pointing this out is remiss.
David Darman says
Graven,
Equating fanatic Muslim criminals with leftists/Democrats is demagoguery. No Democrat, Republican, Conservative, Liberal in their right mind spouts apologia for jihadists or fanatic Muslims. To argue that more Leftists do so is unconvincing without solid evidence …and none is offered. Start by defining what you mean by Leftist and please avoid the tautologic definition usually offered here, i.e. one who is insufficiently antagonistic to Islam.
gravenimage says
David, Joe Biden himself has said that Islam should be taught in the schools and has promised to start importing more Muslims on day one.
Kamala Harris has sneered at the fact that so many Muslims are hostile to Western values.

There are scores more examples, including here at Jihad Watch. These actually are concerning things.
Art Nickel says
Well, I have no doubt that Islam did “tell him to do it” because it is written in the Qur’an that they are to murder or enslave all infidels…
Does that relieve him of culpability? Hell no! In fact it makes him doubly culpable, first for knowingly following a Cult as if it were a religion and secondly because he should know that taking a life like he did was morally wrong.
Oh, yeah, the Qur’an says it morally acceptable to force rape victims to marry their rapist, for grown men to have sex with children and force 8-year olds to marry them, that killing a wife, sister, daughter for embarrassing the family is acceptable, that women should undergo FGM, and the list goes on…
I guess all this is why the Democrats embrace Islam…
David Darman says
Yeah, I get it Art. That’s why the Democrats embrace Islam. Duh…but exactly how do you make that connection ? (Earth to Art….)
p.s. Graven, see the kind of nonsense the false equivalence encourages. This kind of comment makes it easier to dismiss this blog as an outpost for kooks. And that is not good.
gravenimage says
I never said that all Democrats embrace Islam–many are in denial of the threat of Islam, as I have in fact noted many times.
The idea that we had better be quiet about the truth lest someone say something quite different from what we do is *very* strange.
