~ Denial of Terrorism ~

Yesterday a self-described Muslim, and hatchet wielding jihadist named Zale Thompson, attacked three Police officers in New York.   […] Officer Kenneth Healey, 25, had just four months on the job when Zale Thompson, 32, of Queens — a “scholarly” but “weird” ­recent convert to Islam — fractured the back of the cop’s skull with one swing of a blue-handled hatchet at about 2 p.m. in Jamaica (link).


Despite his Facebook promotions saying:

“Fisabeelallah” — for the sake of Allah. Jihad for the sake of Allah, which refers in Islamic law specifically to jihad warfare. (link)

…And despite Zale Thompson’s comments on social media:

“If you’re looking for ‘perfect’ Muslims who never make any mistakes in their Jihad, then you will be looking in vain! If the Zionists and the Crusaders had never invaded and colonized the Islamic lands after WW1, then there would be no need for Jihad! Which is better, to sit around and do nothing, or to Jihad fisabeelallah!” (link)

….The New York Police Commissioner says:

…“There’s nothing we know at this time that would indicate that [Islamic terrorism] is the case,” Police Commissioner William Bratton said at a press conference at Jamaica Hospital.  (link)

In addition WeaselZippers has reviewed some of his social media for ideological understanding:

Thompson’s friends on Facebook include black power adherents, members of the Nation of Islam and Black Panthers, including people who praise Khalid Muhammad, have posted pictures of Ferguson actions, and this protest in NYC with a banner from Revolutionary Communists  (link):
