Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley shot and killed two New York City police officers (Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos), who were sitting in their patrol car. Brinsley was clearly motivated by outrage towards the death of Eric Garner. However, there may be another factor here. Brinsley was an Arabic speaker and posted a Qur’an passage on “striking terror” into the hearts of the enemies of Allah.
Qur’an 8:60 (quoted by Brinsley) reads:
Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.
Here’s more on the story:
New York (CNN)—Two New York City police officers were shot and killed ambush-style Saturday afternoon as they sat in their patrol car in Brooklyn, Police Commissioner William Bratton said.
The gunman approached the passenger side of the patrol car and opened fire several times, fatally wounding officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, authorities said at an evening press conference.
They were “shot and killed with no warning, no provocation,” Bratton told reporters. “They were quite simply, assassinated.”
Both were shot in the head, Bratton said.
The families of the fallen officers rushed to Woodhull Medical Center on Saturday, as dozens of police officers gathered in a show of support.
The officers—one with two years’ experience, the other with seven years on the job—were normally assigned to downtown Brooklyn, but were working a “critical response” detail in an area with higher crime, police said.
Police identified the shooter as Ismaaiyl Brinsley. He was found dead in a nearby subway station from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The gunman arrived in New York from Baltimore, but had a residence in Atlanta, Bratton said.
Police were investigating posts he allegedly made on social media. (Continue Reading.)
They have played us so many times, why would anyone believe them anymore?
This guy is a hero who fights for the rights of all Americans! Why did he kill those cops? Just look what cops do to innocent peple every day.
this is 100% a hoax. the guv arranged and executed this plan because there wasn’t enough carnage for them to inflict their martial law. ask yourself who has the most to lose in nyc? who runs nyc?
The translation is wrong. Here is the correct translation of the verse:
Hence, make ready against them whatever force and war mounts you are able to muster, so that you might deter thereby the enemies of God, who are your enemies as well, and others besides them of whom you may be unaware, [but] of whom God is aware; and whatever you may expend in God’s cause shall be repaid to you in full, and you shall not be wronged.
I am just explaining what this verse says but for sure not defending this criminal.
As a Muslim I see his actions as a crime and can never be justified. For sure the Quran does not justify it.
yes, because christians and jews NEVER strike terror in anyone’s heart. they never kill their enemies. they never kill innocents. gimme a break. the muslim bashing has become laughable and pathetic.
