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

NYC: Muslim who stabbed cop while screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ was illegal migrant with ties to jihadis

Aug 31, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

There are powerful forces in America today trying to prevent any action that would prevent illegal migrants from entering the country. Now, why is that?

An update on this story. “Feds say man who stabbed NYPD officer was illegal immigrant with radical Islamic ties,” by Stephen Dinan, Washington Times, August 26, 2020:

The man accused of stabbing a New York City police officer in early June was an illegal immigrant from Bosnia-Herzegovina who was motivated by support for violent Islamic extremism, the Justice Department revealed Wednesday in bringing charges against the man.

During the height of the racial justice protests and as the coronavirus pandemic was raging, Dzenan Camovic targeted police officers who were on anti-looting patrol, prosecutors said.

Investigators said they caught him on security footage stalking the officers, then stabbing one in the neck with a kitchen knife and trying to stab another, chasing him away. Mr. Camovic then went back to the first officer, grabbed his gun and shot six times at responding officers, hitting two of them in the hand, all while shouting “Allahu akbar,” an Arabic prayer roughly translated as “God is great.”

Officers fired 16 rounds in return, wounding Mr. Camovic, and then took him into custody.

He was also found to have been studying Islamic extremist materials, including from Islamic State, prosecutors said.

The connection of an illegal immigrant with an apparent Islamist attack is particularly striking, though authorities didn’t reveal any more about his path to the U.S. beyond his unauthorized status.

“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,” Attorney General William P. Barr said in announcing the federal charges.

He said investigators believe more evidence exists of Mr. Camovic’s ties to Islamic extremism but it’s hidden behind encryption that the government cannot break….

    so he wanted to express that God is great, not that allah is greatest? When that finally correct in the media, I know we have taken a big step.

    I am sure Team Biden would find a place in his administration, if he wouldn’t lose so badly in November.

      Spiro–with all respect–this is not hard to find:

      “Dems make big push to aid illegal immigrants amid coronavirus crisis”

      https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrats-push-illegal-immigrants-amid-coronavirus-crisis

      This is not any sort of secret.

    Sounds like a potential Democratic party congressman.
    He certainly embodies their ethos.
