Imam guilty of raping boy at mosque

From here:

A Muslim cleric has been convicted of raping a young boy as he attended Islamic education lessons at his mosque.

Mohammed Hanif Khan, 42, was also found guilty by a jury at Nottingham Crown Court of sexual activity with a child, as well as the two counts of rape.

The charges relate to two boys who attended the mosque in Capper Street, Stoke on Trent, where he was imam, in 2009.

Prosecutor Tariq Bin Shakoor told the jury part of Khan’s job was to lead prayers and give Islamic education lessons to boys at evening classes.

He told the court one of the boys claimed in police interviews that he was singled out by Khan after evening prayer on several occasions. He was sexually assaulted in various areas of the mosque which were not covered by CCTV, Mr Shakoor told the court.

The other boy was assaulted when he was an overnight guest at Khan’s house, the jury of six men and six women were told.

Some have enjoyed claiming that the sexual abuse of young boys by Catholic priests was caused by their not being allowed to marry: having no wife led to taking a catamite instead. Imams must be driven to the same extreme by having too many wives.

Muslim runs over his daughter with a Jeep because she had become Westernised

From here:

A Muslim father ran over and killed his 20-year-old daughter because he was enraged by her failure to obey him and her increasingly Westernised values, a prosecutor has claimed.

Faleh Almaleki allegedly accelerated his Jeep in a car park in Phoenix, Arizona, hitting Noor as well as her boyfriend’s mother, before fleeing the scene – and the country.

The mother survived but Noor died after two weeks in a coma.

One presumes that the irony of Mr. Almaleki’s use of a Jeep – a staple of Western military and civilian motoring since 1943 – to kill his daughter for being too Westernised  entirely escaped him.

Pastor Terry– I almost burned a Koran – Jones banned from UK

From here:

Mr Jones had been originally invited by the English Defence League to attend a Feb 5 rally in Luton, Bedfordshire against the presence of Islam in Britain, but that invitation was withdraw.

Another group, England Is Ours, said on its website that it had invited the pastor to speak at a “series of demonstrations against the expansion of Islam and the construction of Mosques here in the UK” in the second week of February.

A Home Office spokesman said: “The Government opposes extremism in all its forms which is why we have excluded Pastor Terry Jones from the UK.”

In a statement, Mr Jones said: “This ban exemplifies the sabotage of the basic human rights of freedom of speech and freedom of expression. The ban also proves the effectiveness of the threat of militant Islam in the UK as one is not free to travel to the UK due to the speculation of violence.”

A member of his staff at the Dove World Outreach Centre in Gainesville, Florida, US, said a letter from the Home Office had been received by courier on Wednesday informing Mr Jones of the ban. She said the letter mentioned the risk of “disruption”.

Why was Jones actually banned from entering the UK? Because the UK – home of rabid Islamist Anjem Choudary“opposes extremism in all its forms”? Hardly.

The answer in in the last sentence: craven poltroonery.

Here are some charming examples of how effective the government is in opposing extremism in all its forms when it happens to be Islamic extremism:

Becoming a Muslim to curry flavour

From here:

SERIAL killer Colin Ireland wants to become a Muslim – because he loves the curries they get fed in jail.

Evil Ireland, 56, even asked to be allowed to attend Friday prayers but was turned down.

The killer, who slaughtered five gay men, is now determined to convert to Islam from Christianity.

He told fellow inmates at Wakefield jail, West Yorkshire, his change of faith was sparked by spicy food.

A source said: “A love of curry must be the strangest reason ever to want to convert.

On the contrary, a pining for curry is probably the only reason for becoming a Muslim. Still pretty flimsy, though.

Yodeller fined for offending Muslims

From here:

An Austrian has been fined for yodelling while mowing his lawn because it offended his Muslim neighbours next door.

A judge decided Helmut Griese, 63, was ‘ridiculing’ their beliefs and fined him nearly £700.

Rather than face a protracted court case with all its attendant legal costs, Griese agreed to pay.

This is obviously a miscarriage of justice: Griese should have been fined for yodelling regardless of the opinion of his Muslim neighbours, although the fact that they were offended by it would be a good reason to reduce the amount of the fine.

Turkey: Canadian Christian’s grave relocated because it makes Muslim family uncomfortable

From here:

The remains of a retired Canadian diplomat have been relocated to another corner in the Bodrum cemetery, following a local family’s complaints. Wife of the late diplomat Hans Himmelbach is deeply unhappy about the incident and says her efforts to stop the relocation was futile

The remains of retired Canadian diplomat Hans Himmelbach have been relocated to a remote corner in the Bodrum cemetery where he was buried, because a prominent local family was uncomfortable with his proximity to the graves of their loved ones……

“We objected because we weren’t comfortable performing Muslim prayers right next to a Christian grave. We weren’t trying to hurt anybody,” said Dayıoğlu.

The important thing is, the Ground Zero Mosque, is not going to be relocated no matter how many families it makes feel uncomfortable.

UK: 15 year old girl arrested for burning a Koran

From here:

A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of inciting religious hatred after allegedly burning an English language version of the Koran.

The 15-year-old, who lives in the West Midlands, allegedly posted the video, filmed two weeks ago on her school premises, on Facebook.

The video was reported to the school and subsequently removed, police said.

A 14-year-old boy was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of making threats. Both have been released on police bail.

It is thought the girl, who lives in the Sandwell Council area, was allegedly filmed setting the booklet alight while other pupils watched.

Two Facebook profiles have also been removed from the site, police added.

It is understood that the group who published that version of the Koran have since been to the school to talk to pupils.

This is politically correct idiocy in so many ways.

While burning a Koran may be hazardous to the health of the person doing the burning – just as playing chicken with an oncoming locomotive is – it is an act that will cause offense, not incite “religious hatred”. In fact, if religious hatred is anywhere in evidence in this situation, it is not because it’s been conjured out of nothing by a spot of thoughtless inciting.  The predictable – and routine at this point – reaction to a Koran burning is an existing hatred exposed, not incited.

So the teenager was arrested for offending people. Had she offended Christians by defacing a Bible, she would not have been arrested; no one would have cared. She was arrested because she offended Muslims.

Perhaps she should be applauded for performing a public service: the extremist Muslims in the UK whose hatred she manages to focus so adroitly will be rumbled and could be arrested for real, tangible, dangerous and unencited religious hatred.
