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

NY Parole Board votes to release Muslim convicted of murdering two cops, he makes ISIS salute

Oct 5, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer 33 Comments

“I will not be engaged in any form of violence or any form of criminality.”

Yet a recent photo shows Jalil Abdul Muntaqim clearly making the sign of allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS) in this photo: the upraised index finger. The signal of the index finger held up is, of course, used in myriad contexts, and Muslims in general have used it as a sign of allegiance to tawhid, Islam’s absolute monotheism. However, in recent years it has become very much associated with allegiance to jihad groups, particularly the Islamic State. This signal has been known to be a sign of allegiance to the Islamic State for almost as long as there has been an Islamic State. It has been described as the group’s “ubiquitous hand signal.” Does Jalil Abdul Muntaqim not know how closely this signal has come to be associated with the Islamic State? How could he not know?

“Man imprisoned 42 years for notorious murder of two Harlem cops to be paroled,” by Graham Rayman, New York Daily News, September 23, 2020 (thanks to Creeping Sharia):

The state Parole Board has voted to release Anthony Bottom, convicted of killing two police officers in 1971, drawing blistering criticism from relatives of the victims and police union officials.

Bottom, now 68 and known as Jalil Abdul Muntaqim, has been in state prison nearly 43 years for the murders of Joseph Piagentini and Waverly Jones in Harlem. The board voted Sept. 11 to release him by Oct. 20.

Along with fellow Black Liberation Army members Herman Bell and Albert Washington, Bottom was convicted of ambushing Piagentini and Jones outside a NYCHA development, after luring the cops there with a phony 911 call.

“We are heartbroken to see another of Joe’s killers set free by politics. But more than anything else, we are angry,” Piagentini’s widow Diane said in a statement released by the Police Benevolent Association, the NYPD’s largest union.

Patrick Lynch, head of the PBA, blamed Gov. Cuomo and the state Legislature for changing parole guidelines to make it easier for people to be freed.

“They knew that changing the parole guidelines would unleash more vicious killers like Anthony Bottom back onto our streets,” Lynch said in a statement. “They have chosen to stand with the murderers, cold-blooded assassins and radicals bent on overthrowing our society.”

Under Cuomo, the parole guidelines were changed to place greater emphasis on an offender’s current risk to the community.

Bottom, who was 20 at the time of the murders, told The New Yorker in a January 2019 story that he insisted on his innocence in prior parole hearings, but then at the urging of loved ones said he was sad for their deaths.

“Whether I am innocent or guilty of this crime, I have served the time, and I have served the time well,” he told the New Yorker. “I will not be engaged in any form of violence or any form of criminality.”…

    I am not sure that the finger is the IS sign, it is pretty common amongst allahists in general. NYC is a horrible place.

      The upraised ‘TAWHID’ sign is a sign of SUPREMACISM. “ALLAHU AKBAR” means that their ALLAH is SUPERIOR to other gods and that is the source of Muslim POLITICAL supremacism.

      It gives Muslims the right to conduct jihad against the dirty kufaar.

      ISIS has the same philosophy as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Wahhabism) and the same ideology as about 15% of all Muslims who self-declare as supporting terror groups.

      Over 200,000,000 Muslims endorse the SALAFIST-JIHADIS ideology.

      Are you scared? You have 200,000,000 reasons to be scared.

    “I will not be engaged in any form of violence or any form of criminality.”

    And we can always trust the word of a Muslim when making statements to kaffirs.

    Right?

    Islam itself is one giant criminal enterprise. “Convert to Islam and no body gets hurt. But if you don’t choose to convert to Islam, then things which you don’t like are gonna happen. capiche?”

    Said sometime when somebody did something, “Nobody move. Everything will be ok. If you try to make any moves you will injure yourself and the airplane. Just stay quiet.”.

      Agree. TAQIYYA is actually VERBAL JIHAD. All Muslims conduct VERBAL JIHAD by misleading dirty kafirs about the meaning, motive and methods of kinetic jihad.

      If a Muslim doesn’t lie about jihad to kafirs, but tells them the truth, he has probably left Islam or he is a jihad ideologue like Anjem Choudary who never seemed to hold back.

    Simple answers to his promise not to be involved in violence or criminality:

    JIHAD is not necessarily violent and JIHAD is NEVER ‘criminal’, because it is endorsed by Allah.

    Everyone happy now? Everyone thoroughly DUPED by his doubletalk?

      The state of New York did away the death penalty only a few years before this murder of two NYPD cops in 1971 .They were beaten(the two cops one black, one white) inside the Mosque responding to a false 911 call that came from inside the Mosque before being shot with their own guns. Many members of the Mosque mob it keeping fellow cops from entering it and helping them.

      True–doing away with the death penalty might not be so bad if life imprisonment really meant just that–but it seldom does.

      +1 Elee,

      I fully agree about the “imprison and isolate FOREVER” but let us not forget the reason this myxomycetous that claims it is innocent is in prison in the first place. He killed two human beings for which he cannot make amends and since the myopic idiots who have fought to abolish capital punishment have permitted this Islamic sub-human to go free, justice has been rendered a joke.

    This jihadwatch article in its title refers to the Muslim murderer make in the ISIS salute. To be more clear and specific that raising of the right index finger in high the air did’t’ start with ISIS . It started with Islam.

    Which has the symbolic meaning to all Muslims that there is one god the god of Islam, Allah.

    Nevertheless ,Christian and Jews don’t need to find this disturbing because the God of the Bible is not really Allah the god of Islam. To explain, through the passing of time it has become widely accepted that the word “Allah” is just the Arabic word for God. This started when truth compromising Bible “translators” substituted the word Allah where the word God should have had been uses in the Arabic translation of the Bible.

    Furthermore, in the glossary in the book ASSASSINS! By Dr. Haha Lung it defines Allah as the “Pre-Islamic Lunar god : the god of Islam. “ Likewise, in the book entitled INSIDE ISLAM by a former Muslim who is now a Christian, Reza F. Safa on pages 22, 23 it reads “In pre-Islamic times both Allah –worship and Baal-worship involved the worship of the sun, the moon and the stars which h defines them as astral religions. [Which are condemned in the Bible, Second Kings 23:5] The crescent moon, which was the symbol of moon worship, is also the symbol of Islam.”

    In conclusion the Islamic god, Allah, is not the God of the Bible.

    The words in brackets are my own. In addition other some other books that expose this little known truths are WHO IS THIS ALLAH ? by G..J.O.. Moshay also UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet Caner and Emir Fethi Caner and THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey . There is also PHILISTINE by Ramon Bennett and ANSWERING JIHAD by Mabeel Qureshi

    1]Why the koran is a FALSE SCRIPTURE {..according to allah in the koran}

    “Will they not then ponder on the quran?If it had been from other than allah they would have found therein
    much incongruity ”
    koran 4:82

    Are there ERRORS in the koran?
    YES
    {koran 5;116 allah has MARY in what he thinks is the Christian Trinity,koran 9:30 allah mistakenly thinks Jews believe ‘Ezra is the son of allah’,koran 5:46 allah claims he gave the Gospel to Jesus{impossible!}’Abraham was not a Jew'{koran 3:67} when he had to be Jewish.In fact allah actually confirms the prophets were from the children of Israel {koran 45:16}

    If the koran has errors in it then it cannot be said to be the ‘perfect’ book.

    The fact that allah misunderstands the Jews and Christian Theology shows that allah is NOT omniscient;an omniscient god would KNOW Jews don’t believe in any ‘Ezra is the son of allah’ and MARY is not part of the Doctrine of the Trinity.

    Such egregious ERRORS and incongruities show the koran,in its imperfections,cannot come from God{who must be perfect and his words perfect,right?} but from ‘other than allah’ and so…

    The koran is 100% man made and a plagiarized BOGUS scripture.
    {The Bible is written by humans BUT there is a Wisdom source behind it:this Wisdom source is not found in islam or the koran}

    2]Why muhammed is a FALSE PROPHET {according to islamic sources}

    “I have fabricated things against God and imputed to him things he has not said”
    Al Tabari 6:111

    “And if he had invented FALSE SAYINGS concerning us,WE assuredly had taken him by the right hand
    and then CUT his AORTA”
    koran 69:44-46

    Sahih Bukhari 4428 ‘my AORTA IS CUT”[!!]wails muhammed,a statement ONLY a FALSE PROPHET could make.

    “No calamity befalleth save by allah’s leave”
    koran 64:11

    According to the Bible the fate of the FALSE PROPHET is decreed{Deuteronomy 18;20}

    “But if any prophet dares to speak a message in my name when I did not command him to do so
    he must die for it and so must any prophet who speaks in the name of other gods”

    The islamic koranic god allah{‘the BEST of deceivers’} koran 3:54 is NOT the Judeo-Christian Biblical God YHWH

    So muhammed admits to being a FALSE PROPHET,satisfies allah’s criterion of being a FALSE PROPHET and since he preached another god ‘allah’ ,according to the Bible thus he proved himself to be a FALSE PROPHET
    muhammed is a FALSE PROPHET according to the koran,the Bible and his own admission.

    His ‘prophecies’ do not come from the Wisdom source in the Bible:they are more like conveniently nebulous Horoscope “predictions”

    3]Why allah is a FALSE god {……according to islamic sources}

    allah’s greatest enemy is not ‘shaitan’ as muslims think.It is a MAN called ‘the king of kings’
    SAHIH MUSLIM VOL 5 HADITH #5611

    allah’s greatest enemy is a MAN called the King of Kings{only one MAN has that title:Rev19:16}

    If that is so then..allah{or hubal the god of the kaaba} is in OPPOSITION to the Biblical God{as baal was to YHWH see I kings 18 21}

    According to the Bible a book allah tells muslims to consult{koran 10;94} when you compare with the koran:
    allah’s teachings do NOT conform to the official Laws given to Moses and confirmed by Jesus Christ
    {Chief Law #1 Deut6:4-9 LOVE GOD,Chief Law #2 Lev 19:17-18 LOVE OTHERS,the Exodus 20 Decalogue,Genesis 1:27(people being made in the spiritual image of God and thus EQUAL before God not unequal before allah koran 98:6}The Golden rule and Wisdom source are missing.

    islamic ‘scholars’ and apologists WILL deny all this of course.
    But their OWN sources show islam to have a false god,a false prophet and a false scripture.

    Oh the bleeding hearts, I’ll bet they don’t have a halfway house in their neighborhoods. The two officer’s he murdered will not be set free to resume their lives. This man did the crime and should serve the entire rest of his life behind bars. Putting cold blooded murders back in society is a dangerous game to play.
