Sara Ege, 32, used a stick to beat her son Yaseen “like a dog” if he couldn’t recite passages from the religious text, it is alleged.

A court has heard the beatings were so brutal that Yaseen died from his injuries, and his mother tried to burn the body to destroy the evidence.

Yaseen was originally thought to have died in a tragic accident in the house fire.

But a post mortem examination showed Ege had been beating and abusing her son in the months leading up to his murder, the court was told.

In a video recording of her interview with police Ege said: “I was trying to teach him the Koran.

Karina Menzies Mother-of-three Karina Menzies was killed when the van ploughed into her

Two people are in intensive care after a series of hit-and-runs in Cardiff left a woman dead and 13 people injured.

The incident involved a van over a half an hour on Friday. A man, 31, is being questioned on suspicion of murder.

Police revealed people were also assaulted outside the van, possibly with a weapon.

Nine casualties, five of them children, are still in hospital. Two adults are in critical but stable conditions.

Detectives said they were “keeping an open mind” about the circumstances.

They also want witnesses who saw a black Renault Clio being driven on the wrong side of Western Avenue, near the Tesco Extra store, at around 15:25 BST, which may be linked to the man they are questioning.

The ultimate Politically correct UK catch 22

Posted on by

So, a number of people in the UK have been arrested, gone on trial and some even jailed for saying racist things and expressing values which the UK courts determined were racist even if they were merely against a voluntary ideology like Islam.

As repugnant and frankly, flat out totalitarian as that is, now there is a case where a person may be prosecuted if they do not actually hold racist views.

It seems the man wrote a letter to a judge saying that he could not serve on a jury because his racist and homophobic views meant that he could not be sufficiently impartial for a juror. Fair enough. But as the judge suspects that the man merely wrote that letter to get out of jury duty, he may well be investigated so that the court can satisfy itself that the man actually does hold those illegal views.

I suppose when they discover he does, they will have to prosecute him for that. And if he doesn’t for shirking jury duty.

This of course is the absolutely inevitable consequence of thought crimes. Once you have them, then you will have these dilemmas whenever it suits whoever happens to want to get you.

From the Daily Mail:

‘I’m just too homophobic and racist for this’: Juror tells judge he can’t sit on any cases because of his extreme views

  • The man wrote to the judge who then read the letter out at Southampton Crown Court
  • ‘I hold extreme prejudices against homosexuals and black/foreign people and couldn’t be impartial,’ he said
  • The would-be juror could now face prosecution for contempt

By Martin Robinson and James Tozer

A juror told a court his homophobic and racist views meant he could not give a defendant a fair trial.

In a letter written to the judge after he was selected from a shortlist to serve in a case, the man claimed his extreme views ‘against homosexuals and black/foreign people’ made it impossible for him to be impartial.

Last night an investigation was under way after the judge reluctantly agreed to dismiss him from the jury and referred the case to the Attorney General, Dominic Grieve.

The letter was made public after he was selected to serve on an assault and dangerous driving trial at Southampton Crown Court.

Presiding Judge Gary Burrell QC read his note out in open court.

The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, has since been taken off the jury and threatened with prosecution for contempt of court.

This is because Judge Burrell said he could not be sure if he had written the letter just to get out of it.

England’s totalitarian bent becomes more palpable by the hour.

Posted on by

The list of stories and news showing that England is within any reasonable definition, a totalitarian state has become quite long. That freedom of speech is arbitrary and people can be jailed for breaches of speech codes that bear no root in reality at all. From singers who do disco when Chinese people can hear it, to people who object to Islamic fascism and misogyny, anyone in England can be arrested for reasons that certainly seem created post-hoc. And now, the government has taken the ability to store any and all of your personal electronic communications including your browsing history for two years. Or at least that is what they are willing to admit publicly.

Cardiff taxi incident: Majid Rehman remanded in custody

Posted on by

The big question, Taxi-jihad or not taxi-jihad, is still out there. My money remains on jihad.

BBC:

Majid Rehman, arriving at court Majid Rehman will appear in court again on 10 April

A taxi driver has been remanded in custody after a collision involving eight pedestrians in the centre of Cardiff.

Majid Rehman, 28, of Grangetown, Cardiff was arrested after an incident in Wood Street on Tuesday evening.

He faced one charge of inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent, and seven counts of attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm.

Mr Rehman will next appear at crown court on 10 April.

The defendant spoke only to confirm his name and address.

Presiding magistrate Christopher F Dale remanded him in custody despite a bail application from the defence which included the offer of a £5,000 surety from a family friend.

Six of the injured people were a group of railway workers.

One man, 35, from the Grangetown area of the city, was still being treated in hospital on Wednesday.

When taxis attack. 28 YO man arrested in Wales. No names given, so it’s probably Mohamed.

Lots of cases of taxi-jihad in the US and elsewhere. This appears to be a case of it in Wales.

Clearly the answer is some taxi control. Perhaps they should all be licensed. Stored with some kind of steering Wheel lock etc. Wales must have really lax Taxi laws.

UK: ELDERLY WOMAN DIES WHILE HER MUSLIM NURSE PRAYS ON

PRIORITIES!

The nurse wouldn’t deem himself to be inhuman or uncaring, it’s just a matter of ‘priorities’ don’t you know, allah always comes first, human life in comparison, is just inconsequential fodder. Therein lies the big difference between the Muslim world and the West, and reason enough to deny these types of Muslims any kind of prominent role in our society. The more in touch they are with their ‘inner mohamed’ the more uncaring, intolerant and unwestern-like they become.

H/T C.K.

Alzheimer’s sufferer Dorothy Griffiths, 87, was found sitting down after staff heard a bang and a carer went to the office for help to lift her.

But agency nurse Abdul Bhutto, who was in charge, said they would have to wait.

Carer Zoe Shaw told the Sheffield hearing: “It took between five and ten minutes because he was praying upstairs in the office on his prayer mat. A staff member told me we had to wait for him to finish.”

An ambulance was not called for nearly four hours after Mrs Griffiths fell from bed and cut her head and suffered a gash to her hip at the privately-run Valley Park Nursing Home in Wombwell, near Barnsley.

She died later in hospital. Mr Bhutto failed to appear at the inquest and a summons had to be issued for him to attend the resumed hearing later in the year.

Lancashire chip shop forced to remove ‘gaudy’ Union Jack sign

Lesley and Peter Salthouse have been forced to take down their Union Jack shop sign

The owners of a Lancashire fish and chip shop have been forced to take down their Union Jack sign, as it was described as “gaudy” and “too busy”.

Lesley Salthouse and her husband Peter, who have run Naze Lane Chippy in Freckleton for almost 25 years, were told the sign was not in keeping with the village.

The sign has a simple Union Jack flag in the middle, with two St George’s flags on either side.

The couple lodged a planning applicaton after a single complaint trigged the council to take action, but it was denied.

They then took their case to the planning inspectorate in Bristol, but they were again rejected.

Lesley, 53, was furious at the decision and said: “We are an English fish and chip shop, yet we cannot even use our own flag to celebrate that.

“There is nothing more traditional than a Union Jack flag and our patron saint of England is St George so why not have that flag on either side of our sign?

“If you go to Spain or Portugal you see their national flag in so many bars and restaurants.

“You see more national flags abroad than in our own country, which I think is really sad.”

Freckleton Parish Council approved the planning application, but it was Fylde Borough Council that denied it on the basis that the design was “oversized and gaudy with too many angles, triangles and colour”.

UK Muslim group angry at Koran exhibition

Posted on by

You might expect protests at an exhibition of the Koran to be led by an anti-Islam organization. But, surprisingly, in the British town of Huddersfield an Islamic organization representing more than 15,000 Muslims is campaigning against an exhibition of the Koran that is being held at the local town hall.

The Action Committee is upset that it was arranged by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association, which the Action Committee regards as not proper Muslims. Mr Amar Usman Ali, a spokesman for the Action Committee, notes that the Ahmadiyya been declared to be false Muslims.

This is what happens when patients run the asylum. All kinds of nonsensical scenarios are possible when the administrators of the courts are imbeciles.

Bigamist wins ‘family life’ human rights case

A foreign drug-dealing bigamist has won the right to stay in Britain because of his human right to “family life”.

Home Office lawyers hoped the deportation of foreign criminal Taoufik Didi would be an open-and-shut case.

He had been sentenced to three years in prison for selling cocaine to undercover police officers, and so exceeded the criteria for “automatic deportation” under the law.

However, the Moroccan launched a human rights appeal, telling immigration judges he had been in a loving relationship with a British woman, Marina Gregory, for 10 years. He now intended to wed her and start a family.

The judges believed the 47-year-old criminal and, to the disappointment of Home Office officials, granted his appeal under the Human Rights Act – ruling that his “right to private and family life” entitled him to stay on in Britain.

Yet all was not as it seemed.

565 The New Muslim suffragettes of the United Kingdom

135281528 300x282 The New Muslim suffragettes of the United Kingdom

An increasing number of Muslim women activists are receiving death threats, fatwas and even hate-mail from extremist male and female Muslims. Their crime: Rescuing fellow Muslim women from violent and life threatening situations.

With heightened media sensitivity surrounding forced marriage, honour based violence and domestic violence we are all too aware of the suffering experienced by vulnerable and marginalised Muslim women. But we know little about the Muslim women activists who risk their lives to fight for the rights of oppressed Muslim women. These women are the New Muslim Suffragettes (NMS) of The United Kingdom.

As wives and mothers themselves, they stand alone in their communities and apart from other prominent Muslim organisations, in offering sanctuary and support for vulnerable and marginalised women. The NMS provide refuge, advocacy and access to the British legal and welfare system for women whose daily lives consist of beatings, imprisonment, torture and even marital rape, as well as the mental health ramifications that unfold over time.

In fact there has been an exponential growth in Muslim women activists in the form of charitable women rights organisations. These organisations have emerged post 9/11 as a response to misogynist and extremist views which are contaminating the Muslim community. Like the suffragette movement in the late 19th and early 20th century, Muslim women activists are collectively gaining momentum in fighting for women’s rights in oppressive and patriarchal contexts. But facing fierce patriarchal resistance –  akin to that experienced by the early Suffragettes – sympathy for the NMS does not always convert to action.

In seeking justice for Muslim women whose human rights have been eroded through hyper-conservative interpretations of Islam, the NMS turn to British Law. But in affording marginalised Muslim women their rights the NMS are perceived by extremist Muslims as “feminists”, a term loaded in the Muslim world with connotations of modernity, resistance and westernisation, and perhaps more importantly a term which challenges the patriarchal underpinning of Islam dictated by extremist Muslims.
