New York: Methodist wife slits husband's throat because he wasn't religious enough -- no, wait...

"inside the couple's 80 St. Mark's Place apartment"

They live on St. Mark's Place. The irony.

Oh, The horror... THe horror...

I've been away from New York too long. Slit throats on St. Marks Place? Sharia againt alcohol on Broadway at 29th? Vibrant Islamic diversity!

'Naseem'huh...Hmmm...I wondered what happened to her...him...them...

"He made her do stuff that she didn't like to do -- eating pork, drinking alcohol, wearing short clothes. She did all of that to make him happy,"...

In the process she made Allah unhappy...She's been living an apostates life...Pork? Can eating pork ever be forgiven by Allah? Pork, alcohol and 'uncovered meat' are an abomination...Allah will inflict a grievous punishment...He always does...

We have enough problems with our own criminals without having to take on the added burden of a grotesquely and ghoulishly peculiar anticivilization of people who have their own cultural codes and blueprint for a uniquely fanatical form of savagery.

Thus, D.A.M.N.
Deport All Muslims Now

Duh_swami, you beat me to it. Good ol' Naseem. I knew that peace-loving Amadiyya had it in her.

If that photograph is of the would-be murderess, I suspect that more than a few would be willing to take their chances.

He made her do stuff that she didn't like to do -- eating pork, drinking alcohol, wearing short clothes...

I'm nor sure I like he tone of this comment.

I think that the JudeoChristian prosecutor handling this case in NYC should resist the urge to let this wayward Moslima off in favor of celebrating religious diversity, and instead prosecute her to the fullest extent of the Attempted Murder statute there in light of the fact that Allah and the Holy Prophet Mohammed only prescribed violence against women, not the reverse.

Sounds to me like the dude just wanted to party and was nearly killed for his enthusiasm.

I just heard about this one on the radio! Was going to mention it here and it's already there! Let's hope some bulldyke makes this b*tch wear some sexy orange duds.

"rambling....handwritten confession"
There ya go, "rambling" means she was insane at the time.

Just ask her lawyers.

See?! Islam does elevate women! The muslimah has every right to slit her hubby's throat! He made her wear short clothing! Oh, the horror! I'm bet Yommie and Abie Mikie are on this gal's side. Imagine the horror of a proper muslimah being forced to eat pork, drink a few brews and wear "short" clothing! Where does this "fake" muslim think they are living - West Virginia?

It is just to horrible to bear! So the default - Sudden Jihadi Syndrome! And the wife tries to cut your throat! Halal! Halal!

The only positive thing about this is the image of a muslimah drinking a Coors, eating some pork rinds dressed in a halter top and a pair of Daisy Dukes.

Funny, but also scary.

Ah, it's so refreshing to finally see a little gender equality (like throat slitting) coming to Islam.

"80 St Mark"s Place..."

Just across the street from 77 St. Mark's Place, where W. H. Auden lived and, before him, unruly-haired Leon Trotsky.

There goes the neighborhood.

St. Mark's Place - I used to go to a (now defunct) neat little bar there called "The Grassroots." You wouldn't recognize that street now - all booths and little sidewalk shops and yes, more than a smattering of hijabs.

OK - wouldn't an unwillingness to proudly proclaim one's status as a Muslim be arguably "unpious??"

Are you listening Mrs. Grover Norquist???? - DEFEND YOUR ... "RELIGION!!"

Note to Grover - hide the knives and sleep with one eye open (would that it were so that he had to live in fear).

"...Naseem 'was a cruel person, he preyed on her'."

Hmm ..Seems to me that he was a devout muslim since he "preyed on her".

"a Middle Eastern joint I used to frequent" - darcy

By that I meant a little hole-in-the-wall eatery that served delicious Middle Eastern food, which I like. Just wanted to clarify what I meant by "joint" in my earlier comment.

Since Hugh mentioned Auden, I thought I'd post a link to a favorite poem:

So, will the mug shot be with or without the niqab?

I can't blame him for wanting her to wear short clothes

I can't blame him for wanting her to wear short clothes

l think this sounds a little fishy, l mean if this man was not a strict muslim he would not mind it if she left him and went to live with her parents. she would have no fear of beatings.. but from her family, so what a better ploy to blame her husband for being a bad muslim.

I agree with lkeevy1. This is rather fishy. This woman is 37 years old, not some teenager. She's been married 5 months. The husband must have married her to please his parents. Maybe there was money or an inheritance at stake for him that required that he marry a Pakistani muslim. He apparently didn't care about being observant. I'm thinking that the woman wanted to inherit something from the husband and used the "he violated my religious beliefs" excuse to kill him to get money and to look justified before their families. She's no victim here.

HUGH: "If that photograph is of the would-be murderess, I suspect that more than a few would be willing to take their chances."

Loraina Bobbitt received dozens of marriage proposals from strangers in the weeks and months after she castrated her husband.

Human psychology at its most inexplicable.

Slitting throats with a knife, is a "Man's Job", you silly bitch !
Next time use the traditional "Feminist's Method" ! POISON !!!
Or 'get laid' with a goat molester to do the job for you in exchange !....

Ummm...Hugh and Islam_Mach_Frei, you guys are thinking of St. Marks in Manhattan, whereas this particular clash of cultures happened right here on my li'l ole Staten Island.

Sigh...

I actually first read about it in in the NY Post, which, in its inimitable style headlined it with "Allah the Rage", with the subheading of "SI Muslim brider stabs hubby for 'infiel-ity: cops". HAHAHAHAHAHA! Kill 'em with laughter, I say.

I used to live with a block of 80 St. Marks, and was just remarking to my daughter how much the neighborhood has changed. Boy, more than I knew!

And in 2007, I posted this: Remember the plot to blow up the Herald Square subway station in NYC, which two Muslims have been convicted of? One of the informants who gave information that helped get them arrested had attended a local mosque. Well, that mosque is not very far from 80 St. Marks on Staten Island.

Here's the link to the NY Post story, because there are really more tidbits than the local paper, such as what Naseem's "other half" is (you'll never guess!), and what religion he practices (again, who'd a thunk it?).

Her favorite drink is Black Russians? There's a joke in there somewhere...

I am guessing this Muslim woman would rather just have the old fashioned Islamic beatdown instead eating pork....The Islamic beatdown would show he really loved her...

Hmm...five months? I guess the honeymoon is over.

Yes..I remember the first time I was forced to drink a beer and eat a BBQ pork sandwich..very traumatic but humans can adjust to anything.

This took place around the block from me on Staten Island. The other St. Marks Place is in Manhattan.

Vee, do you mean the mosque on lower St. Marks with a brick front, across from the construction for the new courthouse? I pass it often on my way to the GLBT center on Victory Street. I've noticed that the prayer times are racially segregated, with some for African-American men, and others for South Asians. I've never seen a woman there.

The guy has a death wish:

"But after the marriage, she discovered more about him, she told investigators -- before meeting her, he had only dated non-Muslims, and he considered Salman Rushdie to be one of his favorite authors....

Ms. Sarwar also told investigators that Naseem pressured her into doing things that were against her religious beliefs.

"He made her do stuff that she didn't like to do -- eating pork, drinking alcohol, wearing short clothes. She did all of that to make him happy,"

Didn't he know what he was asking for?

"Yes..I remember the first time I was forced to drink a beer and eat a BBQ pork sandwich..very traumatic but humans can adjust to anything. "

Would that make her a cannibal now?

This man subjected his devout and loving wife to unbearable cruelty and you lot find it funny ? Imagine the scenario, she marries a man who she thought was a good and devout muslim only to find out that his is anything but. An act of pure deception. He then makes her wear short clothing, eat pork and drink alcohol - he behaved like a westerner - how disgusting to the votaries of the Moon God.No wonder she tried to cut his throat. I think she is to be commended by all the Ayatollahs, sanctified as a martyr (that will no doubt happen, be feted by the ACLU and given compensation for wrongful arrest. I rest my case.

They probably fought because she was not a virgin!~

The Mussalman are coming the Mussalman are coming!

What possessed a Unitarian to marry a Muslim woman?

'Vee, do you mean the mosque on lower St. Marks with a brick front, across from the construction for the new courthouse? I pass it often on my way to the GLBT center on Victory Street.

Skevin, no - I meant the "Albanian Cultural Center" up on Victory (which played a role in that bust I mentioned).

But you're right; there is a mosque closer to the action. And I, too, see more "radical" and "Middle Eastern" characters in front of it, though there are far more hijabs to be seen at the "Albanian Cultural Center" (now a misnomer, in my opinion)than there every were in decades gone by.

I am surprised more Muslimas don't try this, given the way Muslim barrows treat them.

I'm surprised my earlier comment didn't appear. I got a message saying it was posted.

I blame TypePad.

Something else to think about, here.

In Pakistan, the 'blasphemy' laws can be - and haven been- used by Muslims against other Muslims whom they do not like, in order to settle scores. The charge of apostasy can be used similarly.

In 'Cruel and Usual Punishment', chapter five, section entitled 'allah's enforcers: vigilante justice', Nonie Darwish points out that under sharia the one who kills 'an apostate, a robber, or an adulterer cannot be punished, and is forgiven for murder under sharia law'. She then observes, on p. 148, 'People can kill each other for any reason, and then lie or exaggerate claims to make it fit the allowable reasons to kill. Thus a man who kills his wife can say she was cheating on him {when in fact she may not have been - dda}; a Muslim who kills another [Muslim] can say he [the victim] was an apostate or a robber {and again, this may be a completely false charge - dda}".

In this case, the woman seems to have married the man and then found out he was an apostate (did his relatives know, when they arranged the marriage? - or wasn't he brave enough to tell them? - probably the latter).

Possibly, at first, she might have thought she could get him to return to Islam. Then as she realized she couldn't, well...the sharia penalty for apostasy, is death, and *any* Muslim is permitted, indeed required, to carry out that punishment.

When Abdul Rahman apostasised to Christianity in Afghanistan, it was his own wife and children who repudiated him and turned him in to the authorities.

There is, however, another possibility, illuminated by the remarks by Nonie Darwish that I have quoted above. It is possible that this man's wife simply hated him; and attempted to do what she could and would have done in Pakistan, to get rid of him and get off scot free - that is, kill him but say that she did it to punish him for apostasy. Which in any sharia-influenced Islamic country might well get her off. *Unless* there is reliable non-Muslim third-party evidence of the various things she says he did, such as reading and expressing admiration for the Satanic Verses [if I were the police, I'd check the house to look for the book], eating pork, drinking alcohol, etc; unless non-Muslim witnesses can say that they saw her *wearing* short clothes and drinking alcohol; then we only have her word for it, that this was why she tried to kill him. If it *is* only her word, then it may all be tarradiddles.

That is: that 'letter' in which she accuses him of apostasy, may be simply her attempt to cover her a**.

It would probably work in Pakistan, to get her off.

Not necessarily in NYC.
