New York City Ax Attacker Had Jihadi 'Manifesto' on Computer

Zale Thompson, the convert to Islam who attempted to kill two NYPD officers with his ax, had been visiting hundreds of websites belonging to jihadists loyal to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State (ISIS) over past months.

Thompson had reportedly become fascinated with the terrorists' tactics, such as beheadings and violent acts of jihad, before his own violent act in late October.

A police source told ABC News that Thompson had become obsessed with Islamic ideology. “As of last Thursday, detectives had found 277 sites he visited within the last nine months that had something to do with al-Qaeda, ISIS, beheadings, or jihad,” said the official. “He’s been all over the charts.”

The source also mentioned that Thompson had created a “manifesto,” which describes how he wanted to “seek them out, watch them and then attack them. Chop off the head of the beast. If we can do it ‘there’ [in the Middle East], we have to do it here.”

Thompson became so preoccupied with his jihadi ideology that he reportedly locked himself in his father’s home for at least three days, watching nothing but jihadist websites, sources stated.

He had previously expressed jihadists sentiments on social media sites YouTube and Facebook, commenting on pro-Islamic State videos and changing his profile picture to a man resembling an Islamic warrior.

So it’s confirmed that the cop was the victim of an attempted beheading by a jihadist, and the two officers that killed him shot a terrorist. I’m sure the city will reward them accordingly.

There have been axe/hatchet attacks by Muzzies against US troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan, against military members in the UK, and now here.

Good reason to keep them out and expel the ones who are here.

So WHEN are we going to acknowledge these cretins as the Islamic thugs they are and DO something about them?

Is it time to declare war on IS and AQ (since they have declared war on us) so that we can find, jail, prosecute or deport the traitors among us, like this guy? Why wait for the ax to hit your head?

I guess we’re going to have to start carrying tomahawks and wearing “war paint.” Two can play at that game.

Now, now, you know it was merely a sidwalk mishap which had nothing to do with terrorism.
