Sadiqi gets life for femicide of sister

Canada adds another point in the growing list of reasons to be proud of being Canadian today as judge and jury find that being Muslim is not an excuse for murder. Today is a good day to be Canadian.

Eeyore for Vlad

From the Ottawa Citizen:

Hasibullah Sadiqi has been found guilty on two counts of first degree murder. The jury deliberating a verdict delivered their decision Saturday morning. The decision carries an automatic sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for 25 years.

The Ottawa Citizen

A “twisted sense of values” led an Ottawa man to murder his sister and the man she loved, the judge in an honour killing trial said Saturday.

“You put your own self-esteem over those of your own sister and the young man she had chosen to become her life partner,” Ontario Superior Court Justice Douglas Rutherford told an expressionless Hasibullah Sadiqi. “And consigning them to partnership in death has shocked and bewildered every community in the nation’s capital. The forfeiture of your liberty for the rest of your life seems only just.”

Minutes earlier, the jury returned a verdict of guilty on two counts of first-degree murder against 23-year-old Sadiqi, who gunned down his 20-year-old sister, Khatera, and her fiancé, Feroz Mangal, 23, in the early hours of Sept. 19, 2006 while the couple was sitting in her parked car.

Practicing Islam lands woman in British prison

‘Slavery’ mother-in-law is jailed

A 63-year-old woman who imprisoned her three daughters-in-law, treating them as “slaves and dogs”, has been jailed for seven years.

Naseebah Bibi would not let the women – also her nieces – leave the family home in Blackburn, Lancashire, without permission, Preston Crown Court heard.

One victim told police she had been forced to work on an industrial sewing machine day and night for 13 years.

The women had arranged marriages to Bibi’s three sons, their first cousins.

Bibi, of Pringle Street, had denied falsely imprisoning Nagina Akhtar between 1993 and 2006, Tazeem Akhtar from 2001 to 2003 and Nisbah Akhtar between 2005 and 2007.

But she was convicted at the court on 14 April.

All three women were brought to the UK following arranged marriages to Bibi’s three sons but were subjected to beatings and abuse from her after they arrived. Continue Reading →

A challenge to artists world wide.

I have written on this many times in the past year on Vlad but now I am making a direct challenge to artists who think they are ‘risque’ and so dangerously counter culture.  You know who you are. You did the ‘Piss Christ’ and made millions for something as banal as putting a crucifix in what looks like a jar of urine. You must feel so very brave when you insult millions of people you know won’t ever actually do anything beyond write an angry letter to the gallery, galleries which we know will benefit massively by the publicity.

pisschrist

It’s about as brave as lampooning the Dalai Lama. Reminds me of when I see a brave soul at a bar with a T shirt that has a picture of Jesus on the cross and it reads “Jesus. He did it for the chicks”. That isn’t even funny which is the only actual crime here. Before 9-11 an ex girlfriend of mine had the idea to do a T shirt with a Jesus on the cross wearing nike’s. The top would read,

Nike

And the bottom would say ‘The Original Cross Trainer’

I don’t know if she ever made that shirt but at least it’s funny. Would still be gutless in the cold and fading light of the age of reason but at least its funny.

But on to my challenge.

Hey artists out there who have enough track record that a gallery will actually take  you seriously. Yes I know how it works in the art world, it has sweet fuck all to do with how good you are but how much street cred you have because you offended the ‘right’ people. Yes by that I mean offended the ones who won’t do anything to harm you and represent anyone who has actually accomplished something on this earth. So long as you have offended them while promoting the most base and counter civilized impulses you probably can get tons of government money from various art galleries.

So let’s see if you have any real balls.

Let’s see if you will make something like this:

the-burka-bacon-burger2

Art work by Tundratabloids.

The Bacon Cheese Burka. Why not actually do an art piece offensive to the one religion which really does subjugate women to second class status? more accurately to non person status altogether actually.

Why not show us how brave and counterculture you are by making a sculpture of a twice life size women in full Bacon cover with a cheese veil demonstrating the utter horror that is life in the Islamic world.

Think of it as a cross between the Piss Christ and the Meat dress. You can’t go wrong! You may even be as famous as that Canadian asshole who does the blood X. I say asshole because he actually sprayed blood from a squeeze vial from his rectum to make an X on real works of art which require actual talent and skill, something anathema to the post modernists.

Artists show some real balls and in the process, actually do what artists are supposed to do.

Social commentary to achieve greater freedom for all humanity.

Special thanks to the artist who actually did do this artwork for me over at Tundra Tabloids

France asks for more violent anti semitism by covering up what is already there

The Halimi Cover-Up
by Pamela Geller

Israel National News h/t Jdamn

Death in an Islamic “homemade concentration camp”.

halimi_pearl1

Warning! The following contains descriptions of extreme brutality.

The abduction and murder in Paris of a young Jewish man by a gang of Muslim immigrants calling themselves the Barbarians shocked the whole of France in 2006. But now that the accused are on trial – silence.

A French judge has ordered the latest issue of the magazine Choc (“shock”) removed from the shelves. The cover showed a man with duct tape completely covering his head, except for a small opening around his nostrils. His His hands are also bound with duct tape.

It was a photo of Ilan Halimi, the 23-year-old Parisian Jew who was kidnapped and tortured for 24 days by the Barbarians. His captors took the picture and sent it to his family. A lawyer for Halimi’s family had complained about the magazine, but Choc’s editor-in-chief Paul Payan responded: “Of course, we understand the anguish of the parents and, of course, we share their anguish…. But what’s so harrowing is not the publication of this photo. What’s harrowing is what it represents, And it gets worse. The New York Times reported last week that “in the two and a half weeks since 27 people went on trial [in Paris] for the brutal 2006 kidnapping, torture and killing of a young Jewish man, little has filtered out about the proceedings.” Worse still, the little that has emerged indicates that French government and law enforcement have done everything in their power to obscure the Islamic Jew-hatred that led these Muslims to commit this crime.

The corrupt media, aligned with the jihad forces, has long blacked out the truth about Halimi’s homemade concentration camp and the inconceivable horrors that were suffered by this French Jew, chosen by Islam’s soldiers for unimaginable torture. They covered up the religious aspects of this depraved barbarity. Law enforcement did as well.

No one said anything about the Koran’s statement that the Jews are the Muslims’ worst enemies. No one referenced Muhammad’s words: “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say, ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.'” Never was there heard anything about the Islamic tradition that says: “When judgment day arrives, Allah will give every Muslim a Jew or Christian to kill, so that the Muslim will not enter into hell fire.”

Ilan’s uncle, Rafi Halimi, reported that “the gang phoned the family on several occasions and made them listen to the recitation of verses from the Koran, while Ilan’s tortured screams could be heard in the background.”

Three weeks of unimaginable torture. Three weeks. So many clues. So many guilty animals partaking in the continuing torture in their “homemade concentration camp.” Twenty-three people participated in torturing Ilan. Another twenty were involved indirectly. The custodian of the building gave them the key to an apartment where they said they wanted to “keep someone.” French journalist Guy Millière reported that “the screams must have been loud because the torture was especially atrocious: the thugs cut bits off the flesh of the young man, they cut his fingers and ears, they burned him with acid, and in the end poured flammable liquid on him and set him on fire.” Continue Reading →

‘If We Now Kill Schoolgirls, You Shouldn’t Be Surprised’ – Taliban

WTF Muslims I would be surprised if you stopped. No one is surprised when you butcher women or pour acid on them.

From Der Spiegel:

By Matthias Gebauer and Shoib Najafizada in Kunduz, Afghanistan

Responding to threats from the Taliban, at least 10 girls’ schools have shut down near Kunduz in northern Afghanistan. Visiting the schools is a dangerous proposition — a trip leading directly into the heart of Islamist territory.

When the deputy director of Aqtash High School talks of the government, he isn’t referring to Hamid Karzai’s central government in Kabul. Nor does he refer to the provincial administration in Kunduz. “The Taliban are our government,” Bashir says. “They have taken over our region, their commanders give the orders here.”

PHOTO GALLERY: POWERLESS AGAINST THE TALIBAN

Click on a picture to launch the image gallery (6 Photos)
Bashir is standing in a dusty classroom on the ground floor of his modern school, roughly half an hour from Kunduz by car. As recently as just one month ago, he says, some 400 girls were still coming to the school in three daily shifts to learn reading, writing and arithmetic. Figures and formula are still scrawled across the blackboard.

But now, the girls’ classrooms have been left to deteriorate. The desks and chairs are still laid out in neat rows, but a film of dust has collected, and Bashir stands helplessly in the middle of the room. “Parents in Aqtash are afraid to send their girls to school anymore, after the death threats,” he explains. The school director speaks quietly and carefully. He too is afraid, and several of his teachers double as informants for the Taliban. The bearded fighters, he says, would certainly not like it if they knew a reporter was at the school in Aqtash. “You should leave quickly if you want to get out of Aqtash alive,” he whispers.

‘Apprehended and Killed’

Bashir’s warning is hardly an exaggeration. Not 30 minutes after our arrival in Aqtash, located 15 kilometers northeast of Kunduz just off the main north-south arterial, a group of a dozen Taliban fighters, armed with AK-47s, gathers in front of the blue arch at the entrance to the school. “What do you want here?” one of the fighters calls. “This is our region, the Islamic Emirate of North Afghanistan.” Continue Reading →

Greek Muslims sue for alleged ‘desecration’ of a book.

From Jihad Watch:

Greece: Muslim associations sue policeman for allegedly desecrating a Koran

And “demand” an apology. More on this story. “Greek Muslim associations sue policeman,” from SETimes.com, May 26:

ATHENS, Greece — Muslim associations in Athens have filed a lawsuit against a policeman who allegedly desecrated a copy of the Koran last week, media reported on Monday (May 25th). Last Thursday, the policeman allegedly took a Koran from a customer during a police check at an Athens coffee shop, ripped it apart, threw it on the floor and stomped on it. Police say the officer did not know it was Islam’s holy book.The Pakistani community in Greece called on the government to assume responsibility for the incident and demanded an apology from authorities. The incident prompted two days of protests by hundreds of Muslims in central Athens. Violent clashes with police on Friday injured at least 14 people and damage several businesses; 46 people were arrested.

This may be the right time to announce a small project. By sometime this week I hope to have three new videos up on youtube. The question I will be asking is, what will the reaction be to these three videos, all of which will be identical in most ways yet curiously different in one.

More on that as I get closer to posting the videos.

Muslims against jihad, banned by PBS

This is an auto play thing. Watch each segment in order here. Well worth it.

Hat tip Jdamn

Muslims riot in Greece over rumor of someone mistreating Koran, and British people protest in Luton to preserve their own culture.

Which people will be maligned and denigrated as racists? The ones burning cars and throwing slabs of rock at police, or the ones asking that they be allowed to maintain their own history and values in their own historical nation?

And now, The ‘riots’ in Luton by British people. I have been to keggers more dangerous than this.

Thanks to Weasel Zippers and Shawarma Mayor who dug out the AP description of the Greek riots as a ‘march’ while the perfectly law abiding protest in Luton UK is being referred to as a riot.

Would be nice to see the evidence of the violence that caused the 9 arrests and would be interesting to compare it to the now constant riots in Sweden; Greece; France and so on which garner no arrests.

The Telegraph calls this man an ‘activist’

PBS on the Taliban, use of children as weapons, Islam and Pakistan

This video from PBS:



Despite this journalists wonderful detachment and staunch effort to show an even objective expose of this issue and these people, it is difficult not to notice the fear she hides when she is face to face with some young turdburger who tells her the government must treat women as plastic bags. You can see she is in immediate danger for her life if she argues the point. These people, Islam, does not debate. These are not Jews. Much of this documentary has nothing new for readers of Vlad. But there are still some shocking revelations about  how serious Islam really is in terms of illiberal values and it’s ambitions for the rest of us, and perhaps mpore interestingly, when PBS does an expose showing the horrors of Islam to this extent. you know things are bad. We expect the facts from FOX when they may not be PC. Its quite another thing when PBS calls it like it is.
Eeyore for Vlad

A telling answer on Islam Q&A

I must say I don’t know how Grace does it. I would need (as she suggests) an antacid to read this particular Islam Questions and Answers site but I would also want at least a set of hip waders and to be frank I would prefer a full hazmat suit. Here is a Muslim religious councilor advising that it is better for a young girl to risk death at her families hands than cause them dishonor by running away. Isn’t it also odd that Muslims are always claiming that so called ‘Honor killings’ are a tribal thing and not part of Islam at all but yet its constantly referred to as an aspect of the religion.

Thanks Grace. Maybe some readers of Vlad will help pay for the anti emetics you must need after reading this site.

From Islam Q&A

She wants to run away from her father who hits her
I would be grateful if u answer my problem.my 16 year old female cousin lives currently in the us with her parents & older brother.as due to the country’s law no one can hurt her,but her family is planning to go to their homeland for a visit & she is sure that her father will hit her & her mother,as he did before,or marry her of without her consent.her father’s side of the family will do nothing & her brother joins in hitting her.i or my family can do nothing to stop this.she is so sure that they will abuse her that she plans to runaway prior to their departure,live with a female friend & never return.i told her that this is against our relegion but she wiling to take the risk of living on the street than being alone with her father.if i tell my family she will never trust me.only u can tell me what a muslim girl is to do.please reply before its to late.
Praise be to Allaah.

It is not permissible for your cousin to run away from her family and live with another family, because that involves disobeying her parents and upsetting them and damaging their reputation. Moreover her living with a strange family will pose a great danger to her and her religious commitment.

No matter how badly she is treated by her family, that cannot compare with what she is planning to do. No woman follows this course but she goes astray and loses her religious commitment. That is the punishment for disobeying her parents that comes in this world, before the Hereafter. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Two things for which the punishment is hastened in this world: injustice and disobedience to parents.” Narrated by al-Haakim and classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 2810.

She may come to regret it at the time when regret will be to no avail, when her father or mother dies angry with her.

So she must go back to her family and honour her father and treat him kindly. If he causes some annoyance let her bear it with patience and seek reward. She should understand that the fire of this world is not like the Fire of the Hereafter, and that no matter what hardships she endures in this world, if she earns the pleasure of Allaah and enters Paradise, she will indeed have succeeded, and no matter what comforts of this life she enjoys, if she then incurs the wrath of Allaah and enters His Fire, she will indeed be doomed.

She should regard the harm that her family does her as being like a sickness that cannot be warded off. She does not know, perhaps she may suffer diseases and pains that are many times worse than that harm, as a punishment for her disobedience and her living with someone other than her family.

She should strive to make du’aa’ and turn to Allaah, asking Him to guide her parents and her brother, and to help her to find a righteous husband.

If her parents insist on marrying her to someone who is not suitable for her, she may refer the matter to the sharee’ah court; the same applies if her father refuses to marry her to a compatible man who comes to propose marriage to her.

She does not have the right to arrange her own marriage without the permission of her wali (guardian). If she does that her marriage is invalid because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no marriage except with a wali.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2085; al-Tirmidhi, 1101; Ibn Maajah, 1881, from the hadeeth of Abu Moosa al-Ash’ari; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.

And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Any woman who gets married without the permission of her wali, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid, her marriage is invalid. If the marriage has been consummated, the mahr is hers because she has allowed the man to be intimate with her. If there is a dispute, then the ruler is the wali of the one who has no wali.” Narrated by Ahmad, 24417; Abu Dawood, 2083; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, no. 2709.

The point is that you should strive to advise your cousin of what we have said here. If she insists on running away from her family, you have to tell them about that, so as to prevent this great evil from happening, even if that leads to her not trusting you in the future. Denouncing evil is obligatory upon the one who is able to do it, and what you do will be good for her.

Her father should also be advised and reminded of Allaah, and warned against mistreating his children unlawfully. This is the kind of wrongdoing which will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection.

And Allaah knows best.

Islam Q&A

A defence you can garden with. The Sidiqi trial continues:

Once it’s finished you can fertilize a whole public park with it. I wonder where I can get a job holding a gun for someone who pay’s me $500.00 a month. Hell Ill hold 4 of them and never bother working at all. I guess as he say’s in the last couple of paragraphs, he has a part time job making martyrs as well.

From the Ottawa Citizen:

After shooting his sister and her fiancé, there was silence, Hasibullah Sadiqi told a jury on Friday. He remembered his ears ringing, and a .44 Magnum revolver in his hand.

Sadiqi, his sister, Khatera, and her fiancé, Feroz Mangal, had been out for dinner and movie with friends that night in September 2006.

On their way back to the Elmvale Acres shopping plaza, where Sadiqi had left his car, it was “pretty tense” as they entered the parking lot, Sadiqi testified at his murder trial.

Conversation had turned to their father, from whom Khatera was estranged, Sadiqi said.

Sadiqi told the court he had wanted his sister to speak to their father or at least respect and understand that he was “there for us,” during their youth. Sadiqi had hoped Mangal, as “an Afghani guy too and as a man,” would take his side and back him up, but instead, he stuck up for Khatera, Sadiqi testified.

Sadiqi said he tried to persuade his sister that their family needed unity around the engagement time, but the couple was being “hard-headed.”

Frustrated, Sadiqi eventually left the car and gave a dismissive wave, he testified. Then, he said, Mangal spoke.

“He said, ‘f— you, f— your father, f— your sister. I’ll bring your sister’s dead body to the wedding before I ever let her talk to your father. F— you,” Sadiqi told the court.

“Right there, I just exploded,” Sadiqi said.

“I felt like a thunderbolt hit my head, like I got shot, like someone broke a beer bottle on my head. Right there, I just lost total control. After that, I don’t know, I don’t remember.

“I remember that everything goes silent. Everything goes silent and my ears — my ear is ringing and I see the gun in my hand and I know something went wrong. I know that something is not right.”

Surveillance video shown to the jury shows flashes — believed to be gunshots — that start 46 seconds after the car entered the parking lot.

Khatera died at the scene, while Mangal was taken off life support and died 10 days later. Sadiqi faces two counts of first-degree murder in what the Crown argues was an “honour killing” sparked by anger over the couple’s engagement.

Lawyers representing Sadiqi are expected to argue he was provoked.

Under questioning from his lawyer, Lorne Goldstein, Sadiqi said he never formulated a plan to kill his sister, that he had never thought about killing her nor Mangal, and that he never had specific intent to cause their death.

Tribal differences were not an issue and the killings were not done to provide cleansing, he said. Asked what killing his sister did to the honour of the Sadiqi family, Sadiqi replied: “Damage it.”

Sadiqi said he was saddened and ashamed by what he had done. He described being confused, shocked and scared after the shooting, and eventually turned himself in.

Sadiqi said he had not sought bail after being arrested because he wanted to take responsibility.

On Friday, the Crown wrapped up its case with testimony from one of Mangal’s brothers — who described Khatera’s joy at living with the Mangal family — before Sadiqi took the stand.
With his black hair slicked back and wearing a grey suit and light blue shirt unbuttoned at the collar, Sadiqi, 23, said he had been holding the gun and some ammunition for a friend of a friend since early 2006, for $500 per month.

He said he usually kept the gun in his home, but had it in his car, under the driver’s seat, because the friend of a friend had asked him to keep it close in case that person needed it, he said.

But when faced by repeated questions by assistant Crown attorney Mark Moors regarding details of the friends and the gun, Sadiqi refused to identify the people or location where he’d received the weapon, even when directed to do so by Ontario Superior Court Justice Douglas Rutherford.

Canada: Islam now officially a mental illness?

Victim Identified After Brother Accused Of Stabbing Sister To Death

Victim Identified After Brother Accused Of Stabbing Sister To Death

Hat tip TaffyinCanada

Wednesday May 20, 2009

An apparent domestic tragedy is being investigated by police in the city on Wednesday. Cops were called to 55 Munro St. in the Broadview and Dundas area for a report of a stabbing.

When they arrived shortly before the noon hour, they discovered a 27-year-old woman without vital signs. Paramedics worked frantically to revive her at the scene (top left) but she died soon after in St. Michael’s Hospital.

The victim has been identified as Jamila Hassan. An autopsy will be conducted on Thursday.

A man also has wounds to his body and reports suggest they may have been self-inflicted. His injuries are not believed to be life threatening.

Cops have charged 24-year-old Abdirasak Hassan with second-degree murder.

There are indications the pair may be brother and sister but it’s not clear what led to such a violent argument.

Neighbours say they often felt  scared of the accused, alleging he may have had some mental health issues.

Some consequences of blasphemy laws in Pakistan.

Keep in mind, Ireland is seriously considering introducing anti blasphemy laws. This would be to say the least, retrograde to liberal democracy which has as it’s very foundation the right to criticize irrational religious authority. But what may make this more dangerous than even the horrors of European blasphemy we learn about during the middle ages is the idea that Islam would be able to employ these laws. In fact, they are being instituted within Europe specifically for Muslims. This means that the least tolerant and most arbitrary interpretation of blasphemy would have criminal implications.

Islam tends to feel that it is blasphemous for non believers to disobey Koranic teachings. For an example, religious Jewish people do not eat pork but at no time do they ask non Jews to not eat pork. Muslims in the UK have already protested even images of pigs to the point where financial institutions in the UK have stopped giving the traditional piggy banks to children and UK police had to pull an add that used a puppy dog as Muslims apparently also object to the existence of dogs. When Islam is given the power of law to enforce their endless sensitivities on the general non Muslim population we can kiss arts and literature goodbye as well as necessary freedoms of speech required to maintain a culture and civilization of growth and development.

Remember, history did not start at the renaissance. Ours would not be the first modern society which fell to barbarism superstition and irrational religious authority. I’m dead certain that the ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and even the Persians and ancient Egyptians thought exactly what you are now.

Swiss Muslims teach white people how to do racism the old fashioned way

From Islam in Europe:

“You dirty Whites! Have you no shame?” insulted, derided, ogled and even photographed by mobile phone: about fifteen students of the Ecole de commerce André-Chavanne were caught by a group of people leaving the mosque of the Grand-Saconnex suburb of Geneva. Their crime that they were running in a gym outfit on the athletics track of their school ‘during the hour of prayer’.

The incident caused commotion among students, teachers, parents and even the higher ups of the national education ministry. It caused strong reactions on the part of the mosque. The imam vehemently condemned such acts in his sermon to the believers. Today the good neighborly relationship is back.

On Friday April 3rd, in the early afternoon, the students, about 15 years old, were exercising on the course. A dozen people leaving prayer, found themselves facing them. To return to where they parked they took a shortcut, a newly opened rod which leads to the sports field.

Instead of avoiding passing the track, the men, young and less young, walked right through. They disrupted the race, going through the plastic cones arranged for the exercise. they insulted the students, roughly put them down, took a picture, and blamed them for their shamelessness before leaving.

Shocked, the young gym teacher who trained them notified the school. On April 6th the principal, Roland Jeannet, alerted his superiors and sent a letter to the mosque administration asking them to speak in the next meeting of the mosque and to encourage their believers to more respect.

Roland Jeannet says that the imam responded very well and that the following Friday he dedicated a long part of his sermon to this issue. He’s since received letters from believers denouncing the attitude of these men and fearing for the image of Muslims.

A meeting between the principal, two mosque representative and a police agent took place at the end of April. this reassured the school, which did not lodge a complaint.

The Islamic Cultural Foundation took the incident very seriously. One of the leaders says that Muslims must be an example, particularly in this context, where they’re often blamed.

There has been no previous incident in the area between the mosque and the school, which are close by. However, one of the teachers says that they’re sometimes a little uncomfortable when parking in the area, where hundreds of men come to prayer. A female student at the school says that the girls who run get insistent looks at their chests.

It is possible that the shortcut between the mosque and parking will be closed again.

For a little perspective on ‘Gym class’ in the Muslim world read this: From Phyllis Chesler…

Shoebat confirmed the widespread sexual abuse of both boys and girls in Palestinian society. “It is a strange society. Homosexuality is forbidden but if you’re the penetrator, not the penetrated, it’s okay.” He is describing prison sexuality. “If you’re a teenage boy with no hair on your legs other boys your age will pinch your butt and tease you. Once, I saw a class of clothed teenage boys sexualize their gymnastics exercizes. And once, on a hiking trip, I saw a line of shepherd boys waiting for their turn to sodomize a five year old boy. It was unbelievable.”
