New in PJ Media: When Trevor Bickford was 19 years old, on Dec. 31, 2022, he ventured to Times Square along with multitudes of New Year’s Eve revelers, but he was not interested in joining the festivities.

Maine: Muslim who struck two NYPD officers with a machete intended to carry out jihad against ‘anti-Muslim’ officials
Anyone who stands publicly against jihad violence and Sharia oppression is labeled “anti-Muslim,” in an attempt to give the impression that his or her opposition is rooted in bigotry and hatred of a certain group of people, rather than in rejection of an aggressive and supremacist ideology. This smear can have lethal consequences, as Trevor […]
“Jihad simply refers to a ‘struggle.’ Muslims use the term to discuss a spiritual struggle against one’s vices.”
This “Muslim American” letter-writer is angry that Trevor Bickford’s attack on two cops in Times Square was described as a “jihad.” Zane Chowdhry says that “commentators should avoid co-opting Islamic terms like jihad without nuance.” However, Bickford himself may have used the word. We know that he left behind a manifesto which was not published […]
Times Square Jihad Terrorist Recited Qur’an Verses to Prep for Attack
“Fight against those who do not believe in Allah. Wage a holy war.” In my original writeup on the Times Square Muslim terrorist, I noted that, “Trevor Bickford, 19, had taken the train down from Wells, Maine: a town of less than 10,000 souls. Maine isn’t a big hub of Islamic terrorism so the local teens who […]
Times Square jihadi wanted to ‘kill people and carry out jihad’ because of US support for Israel
How did this young convert to Islam get the idea that his new religion, which all authorities in the West assure us teaches peace and tolerance, commanded him to become violently anti-Semitic and anti-American? True to form, no authorities seem to have the slightest degree of curiosity about that question. “DA: Times Square Machete Suspect […]

NYPD’s counterterrorism top dog: Time Square jihadi ‘is not representing, you know, the Islamic religion’
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 […]
Muslim who stabbed two cops in Times Square on New Year’s Eve screamed ‘Allahu akbar’
The phrase “Allahu akbar” is routinely translated in the English-language media as “God is great,” a resoundingly uncontroversial phrase by any standard. In reality, however, that is a mistranslation. “Allahu akbar” actually means “Allah is greater,” a subtle but important difference. Rather than simply being a proclamation of the greatness of the divine, “Allahu akbar” […]
Trying to defund the police a little more directly: three Muslim knife attacks on NYPD officers in 8 years
What do a white teen, black man and an illegal alien have in common? At 9:30 PM, partygoers in Times Square wearing purple Planet Fitness hats heard a bang. The ball hadn’t dropped, another Jihadi had. Along with three cops. Trevor Bickford, 19, had taken the train down from Wells, Maine: a town of less […]
Man Who Stabbed Two Cops in Times Square Left Chilling Manifesto
New in PJ Media: 19-year-old Trevor Bickford stabbed two cops with a machete in Times Square on New Year’s Eve, and authorities are scratching their heads and wondering why.
