My latest in PJ Media:
The riots in New York City have now given us two examples of the Leftist/jihadist alliance: Urooj Rahman, a Muslim lawyer and activist for the Palestinian jihad, threw a Molotov cocktail into a police cruiser, and last Wednesday night in Brooklyn, a Muslim migrant from Bosnia named Dzenan Camovic stabbed a NYPD officer, Yayonfrant Jean Pierre, in the neck while screaming “Allahu akbar.”
Camovic’s attack was duly woke: he attacked the officer while he was guarding Brooklyn businesses against looters, and we all know now that anyone who has the temerity to clean up after the looters, or to get in their way while they are expressing their righteousness, is a racist who must be destroyed.
The manner of Camovic’s attack reveals the other side of the alliance. It is unlikely to have been accidental that he stabbed the police officer in the neck: the Qur’an tells Muslims, “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (47:4). Striking their victims specifically in the neck is, accordingly, a hallmark of jihadis worldwide.
While jihad attacks by Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” is an unfortunately recurring feature of contemporary life, particularly in Europe, Camovic chose an especially opportune time to attack a police officer, when amid all the hysterical frenzy over supposed police “racism,” he could be assured of a legion of sympathetic admirers.
Maybe Salmah Rizvi, a Muslim lawyer who has received a Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) scholarship and a Soros fellowship and who guaranteed bail for her “best friend” Urooj Rahman, could take Camovic’s case and argue that, well, yes, he did attack a police officer while screaming “Allahu akbar,” but “Allahu akbar” is simply a beautiful expression of the greatness of God, and as for the attack on police, well, these racists have it coming, don’t they? For good measure, Rizvi could even argue that Camovic, a migrant, was simply lashing out at Trump-era anti-immigrant nativism and fascism.
That kind of defense could have Camovic out on the street again in no time.
There is much more. Read the rest here.
