The man who killed two NYPD officers in cold blood showed on
multiple occasions that he was a devotee to Islam, reciting on social
media Quranic verse popularized by Islamist groups such as the Muslim
Brotherhood. Evidence has also surfaced suggesting he may have attended a
mosque which has in the past been a hotbed for jihadist recruitment and
a chief financier for Islamic terrorism.
In March, Brinsley
posted
a Quranic verse (8:60) on a Facebook page attributed to him that some
interpret as a call for war against non-Muslims. The verse includes the
phrase, “Strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah.”

The global Muslim Brotherhood uses a
segment
of the same Quranic verse in its logo, which features two swords and a
Quran. The Muslim Brotherhood movement seeks the installation of an
Islamic caliphate that follows the Quran’s Shariah laws. The MB’s motto
reads,
“Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Quran is our
law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.
Allahu Akbar!”
Alleged Muslim Brotherhood front groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (
CAIR) have played a key
role in organizing the
anti-police protests in major U.S. cities. Kyle Shideler of the Center for Security Policy warned that CAIR was “
seeking to target law enforcement under the camouflage of civil rights.” In August, CAIR
picked Al Sharpton to host its annual banquet. Sharpton has led anti-police demonstrations throughout the country.
Brinsley also wrote on his Instagram that he was
planning to attend the infamous Al-Farooq mosque, according to
PJ Media.
What remains unclear is whether he was referring to Al-Farooq in
Brooklyn, or another mosque that shares its name. The Brooklyn mosque
was
described
by the New York Times in 2003 as a “Terror Icon”: The “Blind Sheikh,”
the man responsible for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, worshipped
there. It also hosted the man who murdered the zionist Rabbi Meir Kahane
in 1990. In 2003, mosque leader Sheikh Mohammed al-Moayad was charged
with using the mosque as a means to funnel approximately $20 million to
Al Qaeda.

What is believed to be Brinsley’s now-deactivated Instagram profile
revealed further information that he was devoted to Islam. Five months
ago, he stated, “Eid Mubarak,” wishing fellow Muslims a blessed
celebration of Eid.
Last month, he posted on Instagram a picture of a burning American
flag, along with a rant about mistreatment “towards our people in
America.”
Additional
videos
have surfaced, which were pulled social media sites attributed
to Brinsley, showcasing his further connections to Islam. One of the
videos is
filmed at a Muslim burial, which “discusses how all of life is preparation for death,” reports Got News.
However, an NYPD spokesman said in a press conference Sunday
that their investigation has found no religious motivation for the
killing thus far.
Brinsley’s cold-blooded act comes just two months after axe-wielding
jihadist, Zale Thompson, attempted to murder a number of NYPD police
officers. Thompson wounded two cops before he was shot dead.
