The big aspect of this story that the NYPD and the establishment media won’t dare touch is that if Trevor Bickford had not converted to Islam, he would not have stabbed the two cops. There is a recurring phenomenon of converts to Islam turning to jihad violence, but no one dares examine it or ponder the question of why this keeps happening.
“Alleged Islamic extremist in machete attack on NYPD cops asked family to ‘repent to Allah’ in disturbing manifesto,” by Joe Marino and Jorge Fitz-Gibbon, New York Post, January 1, 2023:
The 19-year-old alleged Islamic extremist suspected of attacking NYPD cops with a machete on New Year’s Eve penned a disturbing manifesto that urged his family to “please repent to Allah and accept Islam,” police sources told The Post.
Trevor Bickford — a Maine resident who arrived in the Big Apple just days before the attack — carried the handwritten note in his backpack, along with a collection of religious material and $200 while staying at the Bowery Mission in Manhattan, the sources said.
“To my family — specifically, mother — I’m sorry for not having been a good enough son,” the note read, according to a police source.
“I fear greatly that you will not repent to Allah,” it said. “And therefore I hold hope in my heart that a piece of you believes so that you may be taken out to the hellfire.
“To [my brother] Travis. Of anyone I’ve known who I have felt is closest to faith — it’s you,” he allegedly wrote. “Of anyone I’ve ever wanted to accept Islam with me — it’s you. Please repent to Allah and accept Islam. I fear for you.
Addressing his other brother — who sources said is in the Marines — the suspect allegedly wrote, “To Devon, there was a time when we were close, but that time has passed. You have joined the ranks of my enemy. And for that I can give you no kind words – return to Allah.”
Bickford, of Wells, Maine, is believed to have “found religion” in recent years following the death of his father, Tom, from an overdose in 2018 at the age of 41….
Sources said Bickford became “radicalized” as recently as a month ago. Bickford’s radical shift put him on the FBI radar before he hopped an Amtrak train and traveled to New York, arriving on Dec. 29, according to sources….
It is unclear how long Bickford had been staying at the Bowery Mission, but police sources said investigators found a sheath for the machete, a variety of other knives, and a collection of religious material….
Gee fellas, why so vague? What kind of religious material?
Walter Sieruk says
Only a very unthinking person will accept the fool saying which is that “It doesn’t matter what you believe as long and you’re sincere.”
That incident of the jihad- minded Muslim attacking those police officers, all the while yelling out “Allahu akbar” in Now York city is one example, out of many that it really does matter what a person believes even if his or her believe is sincere .
For that Muslim was no doubt , sincerely following his religion ,which is Islam , for the Qu ‘ran does instruct devout Muslims to “Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you and let them find harshness in you…” Surah 9:123.
Attacking :”disbelievers ” with a machete is very effective way to show them harshness.
So, it is very important and does matter ,very much what a person believes regardless if he or she actually, immensely , sincere.

I’m guessing this will be the theme of ‘This week in Jihad’, if it happens on Wednesday

He had religious materials – from the Bowery Mission? If Trevor Bickford did have religious material from the Mission he surely did not read it. I looked up the website for that organization. I read the short stories about the Mission’s founders, Jerry and Maria McAuley. They were lost souls who found a God far different from the one Trevor Bickford found. The McCauley’s ended up thinking they should help those who are lost. Bickford ended up thinking he should kill those he deems to be lost. To me that sums up the difference between Christianity and Islam quite well.
Jerry McAuley spent 15 years in prison before he found God. I wonder how long it will take Trevor Bickford.
somehistory says
I, too, looked it up. One quote from the site<"We speak and act in a way that honors Christ."
this snake took advantage of the love and charity shown by those at the Mission, but would gladly slit the throats of those who believe in Christ as man's Savior and the One to imitate.
What a slimy example he is to his family members.

I will never understand these total fuckwits that choose islam when there are so many decent and peaceful religions that they could join, unless it is because they have an anger inside them and want to get out there and commit violent acts, like this maggot has done, and islam fits the bill perfectly. islam will tell them what they want to hear, that there is a god who condones their violent fantasies. Enjoy your stay in jail, evil , violent fuckwit.
somehistory says
Tim, the Bible says that some will “find those who will tickle their ears,”…or in other words, what you wrote about telling them “what they want to hear.”
islam is a religion of psychopathy and its devout are psychopaths. No conscience, no care about right vs wrong; whatever they want is a-ok with them, and killing, raping, lying are all right up their evil alley.
tim gallagher says
That must be it, somehistory. With quite a number of religions that are peaceful and which teach tolerance towards other human beings, Christianity being the main one, but Buddhism also seems to teach tolerance, these creeps who choose islam must have some desire to carry out violent acts or they would not choose such a vile religion with such a vicious version of what god is supposed to be like. For people who want to indulge in evil acts, islam is the perfect fit.
Walter Sieruk says
That jihad-minded Muslim who attacked those NYPD officers with a machete obviously had murderous intentions . Therefore, that in mind ,unless he leaves Islam and terns to and accepts Jesus , that atracker is then fated to go to hell when he dies because a murder “will not inherit the kingdom of God.” The Bible, Galatians 5:21.[N.K.J.V.] For he is a murderer in his Islamic heart . That he has proven by his actions.
Furthermore about police officers should not be threatened of attacked but respected.
For the Bible informs its reader “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God,and the authorities that exist are appointed by God, Therefore whoever resist will being judgement on themselves.” Romans 13:1,2.
That Muslim was not resisting the police , what he did was far worse, he was viciously attacking them with a machete.
So unless he later repents to the God of the Bible , not the false god of Islam, and accepts what Jesus did for him on the cross Second Corinthians 5:21 he has now in his unrepented state ,he has brought judgement on himself.

Scotsman48 says
So this wee soy boy stayed in a Christian Mission Center, and NOT in an islamic one, if they actually exists, and then decides to travel hundreds of Miles in order to attack a non muslim from behind.
This is the bravery they teach.
He will be a hero in prison and held close, hint hint, by other muslim morons.
