Does any other group have people who aren’t members of it so anxious to do public relations for it? Does any other group have so many people committing violence in its name, with people who aren’t in the group at all then rushing to make sure you don’t think ill of the group, or get the idea that the people doing violence are representative of this group?
Thomas Galati is repeating the same blather that officials all over the West have repeated for years after every jihad attack that they couldn’t explain away as “mental illness” or something else. If he had an ounce of actual concern for New Yorkers and not just concern for not offending Muslims, he would be publicly asking today how it is that Trevor Bickford and so many other converts to Islam somehow get it all wrong, and what Muslim leaders are doing to prevent this. But no one ever dares to ask that.
“NYPD official: New Year’s Eve attacker was linked to Islamist extremism,” by Elad Benari, Israel National News, January 4, 2023:
The teenager accused of attacking three policemen with a machete on New Year’s Eve near Times Square and charged with attempted murder was linked to Islamist extremism, a senior New York City Police Department official said on Tuesday, according to Reuters….
Thomas Galati, the department’s chief of intelligence and counterterrorism, was quoted as having told ABC News in an interview….”He is not representing, you know, the Islamic religion but rather, you know, a very, very small percentage of people that get radicalized,” Galati added….
Walter Sieruk says
That counterrorism chief of the NYPD must be in denial about the violent and deadly essence of the religion of Islam.
Either Elad Bennarl is competely ignorant the actural nature of Islam or really does knows better and says dishonest and disgeneous because he had “caved in” to the pressure Islamic groups and the power of politically correct elite.
In either case by that false statement Bennari has revealed himself ineffective and maybe even useless tin counterism Muslim terrorism because the can not or will not recognize the reality of the truth about Islamic terrorism.
I AM THE INFIDEL YOUR IMAM WARNED YOU ABOUT says
With a statement like that, All I can say is that Thomas Galati, the department’s chief of intelligence and counterterrorism has his head stuck up some muslim’s stinky hairy arse.
Gre3at says
“You know” that represents peaceful for people. Forever peaceful 🕊️
Walter Sieruk says
In all fairness the rational reason that this NYPD counterterrorism chief would say such an outright false statement would be that he doesn’t want the non-Muslim people of New York City to engage in the harassment of peaceful non-violent Muslims.
For all the Muslims who are living their own law abiding peaceful lives in America shouldn’t receive harassment from anyone.
Still , Benard did speak a lie.
John ..Smith says
By spreading false information about islam, such people as Thomas Galati and Pope Francis are more dangerous than the jihadi’s that carryout these attacks.
They try to lull people into believing that islam is just another harmless peaceful religion, when it clearly is not.
James Lincoln says
If Thomas Galati is NYPD’s counterterrorism “top dog”, New York City is in a heap of trouble…

Mr, Lincoln, they look for his type when appointing the top idiot….dogs have more intelligence about who is bad…they growl upon meeting those ones…and so it is repeating the appointments made in the recent past.
As some say, there are “moderate” members of the slime pool known as a religion that worships a dreg of the desert, snake and son of satan; but the ones who are truly devoted to that sack of putrid dung, behave exactly as al queda, isis, taliban, mb, the leaders of iran, etc. Those devoted are “representing the islamic religion.”
If there are “moderates,” then it’s those ones who are not “representing”…in full measure…their religion. But, in my opinion, the “moderates,” are proud of those who go full devotion. fund and cheer them on.
James Lincoln says
Spot on, somehistory.
Kudos for pointing out that muslims who act and appear “moderate” are just less “devout” muslims.
They leave the “kinetic” jihad to the “devout” muslims – who they tacitly support.
somehistory says
Thank you, James Lincoln.
Larry Estavan says
According to the NYPD’ “Radicalization in the West:The Homegrown Threat “, a midwife, or a “spiritual
sanctioner” plays a leading role in a person transitioning into a killer Muslim.- https://info.publicintelligence.net/NYPDradicalization.pdf
Who that might have been in this case is something not only never asked, it is never even considered at all.
tgusa says
Jihad doesn’t represent islam in the same way that the 10 commandments doesn’t represent Christianity. Just stop, Mr. low info non-muslim Italian guy.
