Self radicalised Islamic man attacked cops in New York with an axe today, see link, it's not made up, honest

http://m.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-29753347

It's like everyday some one is being targeted by a mad Islamic convert !!! Again not related to any of the other attacks, so another lone wolf, making it so much harder to police. ������

So the BBC actually say.. "Police in New York are investigating whether a man who attacked two officers with an axe before being shot dead was linked to Islamist extremism".. a typical unnecessary conflation of Scary Monsters with mentally ill people.

Other people, slightly less mentally ill, like yourself, only see two or three words and then run and hide, or possibly buy a long gun.

No I saw the TV Version of the news and they said he had links with terrorist groups via Internet postings.

I could not find a up to date link showing that, sorry.

Sun TV I assume?

Self radicalised is what I just read on CBC, no known links to any terror groups but had been studying up on it. Doesn't matter now.

What TF is sun TV?

CBC then CNN, are those channels up to your higher than normal people's standards sir ???

Edit: I Googled Sun TV, why would I watch Indian TV? Is this your choice of TV news?

I heard he once tweeted about hating western decadence. I'm surprised they hadn't already locked him up to be honest.

Police are describing it as a terrorist act.

I think we should expect to see these two groups conflate.

It doesn't matter how ill he was; he attacked 4 men carrying guns with a hatchet. What do you think an appropriate response is? You'll have plenty of time to debate the root causes as the next one, then all the other attacks happen. The fact that IS called for an uprising and then this started happening is probably more than coincidence, imo.

There have been many cases of S.J.S., going back over the years.

I'm not sure how these nutjobs would have been dealt with under the sharia law system, anyway. Sounds like half of them would have been crucified, rather than groomed for official IS martyrdom

SJS?

Urban Dictionary: Sudden Jihad Syndrome

That's an unhelpful term. Terrorists are deeply committed to their ideology. The rest are psychotics who may or may not choose Islam as a badge under which they wreak havoc. I think the distinction is important, because we will always have psychotics amongst us, but it is possible to create a world without terrorists.

One thing about random potential extremists that are not associated with any known groups and going under the radar is they could easily be in jobs that have access to secure environments such as airports.
