A hatchet-swinging psycho with Islamic militant leanings turned a busy Queens street corner into a scene of bloody chaos Thursday, chopping a rookie cop in the back of the head and slicing a second officer on the arm before two other officers shot him dead.
In opening fire on the madman, cops accidentally wounded a bystander, *authorities said.
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.

Has Obama called it terrorist attack yet? Cause that is somehow very important.

A bum here in Chicago went ape-**** recently on the El and randomly assaulted people with what appeared to be an Aldi bag filled with cans of corned beef hash. Has Obama called it terrorist attack yet? Cause that is somehow very important.
 
When you try to demonize an entire group of people it helps if you make a big deal out of every thing each one of them does wrong and spread the blame of a few to them all.
Why do people make it a bigger deal when it is a muslim attack on someone as opposed to someone else? Crime is crime.

Yea I know its a stupid question for me to ask. Its a political and scare tactic. Pure ignorance and the ignorant buying into it.

Because ISIS (among several Muslim groups) have encouraged lone wolf attacks on LE, military [and their families] etc in this country.

Three in North America this week.
 
I don't know about over-generalizations, but it does seem that there is a lot of unpleasant social behavior among recent converts to Islam.

There are a lot of people and groups in this world, and in this country that encourage attacking people. Its amazing how quickly you people buy into this ****. Time and time again. Be afraid. Be very afraid. The muslims are coming. BOO!
 
If there is an increase in attacks by Muslim fundamentalists in the country then it is at least relevant and newsworthy.

Rather comical watching the usual crowd rushing in to insist "nothing to see here...move along......."

You interested in comparing the number of violent muslim attacks in this country to the number attacks by Christians? Jews? Whites? Blacks? Males? Females? People over 5 ft tall? People with blonde hair? People with tattoos? People who consider themselves independents?

We have enough crime in this country, and a great variety of people commiting those crimes, that you can pick almost any factor you want. Deosn't matter what it is. And you will find people committing crimes, attacks ect who meet that criteria.

So you think ISIS and other groups are just fiction?

If these attacks here in the States had never occurred, I probably wouldn't think twice about it. Trouble is, they have and are still occurring.
 
Why arent you worried about things proportional to their actual threat? How many people have been killed in gun crimes in the last few years, are you thousands of times more worried about that than ISIS?

Dangit! My money was on him being a Mennonite!

If his Facebook page had Tea Party references, though...

I never said I was worried,only pointed out that ISIS called for lone wolves to attack on their own.

I grew up next to and worked on Ft,Hood TX. I remember Maj. Nidal Hasan quite vividly.

But, this article is about a hatchet wielding Muzzie convert.

The US had 11,000 gun related homicides in 2010. ISIS is responsible for a few more than 2 deaths, Mr. Hyperbole.
 
How many deaths is ISIS repsonsible for in the US?

Pro-Tip: When someone says "ISIS (among other Muslim Groups)" they aren't talking only about ISIS.

By reducing his argument to ISIS only you are simply moving the goalposts.

It's an interesting question, but I'd say most crime is committed in the personal self-interest of the criminal - either to avenge a perceived wrong committed against the individual or to acquire property/money they could not or did not otherwise attempt to earn.

With crimes committed by Muslims, they are usually exceedingly violent, entirely random, and the purpose is always in the name of Allah. A Muslim who robs a liquor store in order to gain cash for himself or his family wouldn't be news - A Muslim who tries to chop of the head of a liquor store clerk, all the while yelling Allah Akbar is a whole other issue and rightly should be pointed out.

I would ask how many deaths is radical Islam responsible for in the US since ISIS like al-Qaeda and the rest of those organizations are branches of the same poisonous tree.
