Apparently she only recognizes the authority of Allah, i.e., Sharia. "'Smiling' woman 'stabbed MP twice in stomach after confronting him about Iraq war,'" by Rebecca Camber in the Daily Mail, November 2 (thanks to all who sent this in):
A Muslim woman tried to kill a Labour MP by stabbing him in the stomach 'in revenge' for him voting for the Iraq War, a court heard today.Roshonara Choudhry, 21, is accused of knifing Stephen Timms twice in a shock attack during a constituency surgery meeting after she greeted the MP with a smile and offered him the hand of friendship.
A second later the accused allegedly lunged forward, repeatedly plunging a three inch kitchen knife into his stomach, sending the MP 'reeling and staggering' backwards, before staff jumped in to wrestle the blade from her grasp.
The Old Bailey heard how the young Muslim woman had plotted for weeks to kill her local MP, buying two knives in case one 'broke' when she enacted her 'punishment' for him voting in Parliament to invade Iraq in March 2003.
After the attack, she coolly told police: ''I just pushed it (the knife) in like how it is if you punch someone.
'I was trying to kill him because he wanted to invade Iraq.
'I was not going to stop (stabbing him) until someone made me.
'I wanted to kill him. I was hoping to get revenge for the people in Iraq.'
Mr Timms, 55, suffered potentially life-threatening injuries in the attack days after the general election in May this year. [...]
But in an extraordinary case, she has refused to challenge the evidence, saying she does not recognise the jurisdiction of the court.
In what is thought to be the only case in living memory, the defendant has refused to appear in court for her trial and has instructed her lawyers not to offer any evidence in her defence or cross-examine any witnesses.
The attack on May 14 this year happened at a local constituency meeting in Beckton, East London....
Mr Timms told the jury that he initially thought she was going to shake his hand when the woman, wearing a full Muslim black dress and headscarf, approached him.
He said: 'She didn't go and sit down as she continued to come towards me where I was standing to greet her at that point.
'I thought she must have been coming to shake my hand. She made as if she was coming to do that. She looked friendly. She was smiling, if I remember rightly.
'I was a little puzzled because a Muslim woman dressed in that way wouldn't normally be willing to shake a man's hand, still less to take the initiative to do so, but that is what she was doing.
'She lunged at me with her right hand.' [...]
When she was interviewed by police, Choudhry is said to have remained chillingly calm, telling officers she had been planning to kill the MP for three or four weeks and had bought two knives at the end of April 'in case one broke'. [...]
At an earlier hearing, her lawyers entered a not guilty plea on her behalf after she refused to accept the authority of the court....
I wonder if she will recognize the prison she will be sent to as well.
Hahaha, pretty good.
But in an extraordinary case, she has refused to challenge the evidence, saying she does not recognise the jurisdiction of the court.
.................
Actually, there is nothing whatsoever "extraordinary" about this—many Jihadists refuse to recognize the authority of Infidel courts, and refuse to participate in the proceedings at all—expect, perhaps, to make long ranting speeches in rabid support of Islam.
Will this piece of news make some islamic apologists see the light?
I sure hope so.
A Muslim woman tried to kill...
A "Muslim" woman? She wasn't a "youth", or "Asian" woman, or "mentally disturbed" woman? Wow! We're making progress in the press, we're on a roll. Even reported she was "smiling" while plunging the knife? A Muslim woman? The "kill" part I got, that's just the ol' Jihad, but the rest, wow... Go Daily Mail!
As a devout Muslim, of course this woman doesn't recognize the jurisdiction of an infidel court. But she should be compelled to testify anyway, especially regarding the reasons why she doesn't recognize the authority of the court, and her testimony should be widely reported. JW readers already have a good idea about what those reasons are, but the public needs to hear them.
. .maybe that champion of Guantanamo, Clive Stafford-Smith, international recognized do-gooder that he is, could arrange a prisoner-exchange with the woman awaiting stoning in Iran. .at least that way the smiling stabber will accept the authority of those courts. . .
typo. . Internationally-recognized
Since she doesn't recognize the jurisdiction of a UK court, maybe she should be tried and thrown into a hell-hole of a jail in a Muslim country. I'm sure it will be so much more comfortable.
"In what is thought to be the only case in living memory, the defendant has REFUSED TO APPEAR in court for her trial and has instructed her lawyers not to offer any evidence in her defence or cross-examine any witnesses."
Where is she? Surely she's not out on bail. Assuming she's incarcerated, is not appearing an option?
Enjoy prison.
Ima
deport her and her entire family
Ohhhh, she doesn't recognize the authority of the court ... in the Western country in which she's squatting? Out she frikkin' goes. Boom, outta' here! Who's next?
I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE POLLING PLACE WHERE I VOTED 'NO' TO IMPLEMENTATION OF SHARIA LAW IN OKLAHOMA. I HOPE IT PASSES. THANK YOU ROBERT AND ALL OTHER ADVOCATES FOR MAKING ISLAM'S PUTRID USURPATION OBVIOUS TO THE ORDINARY PEOPLES. I'VE HAD ENOUGH. 15 YEARS OF MY OWN PERSONAL HELL, I AM NOT ABOUT TO LET THIS CRAP HAPPEN AT HOME.
This reminds me of when I first read about Zacarias Moussaoui's trial after 9/11. He was one of the bombers that got arrested before he could board one of the airplanes on that fateful day.
At first, to me, it seemed the rantings of a complete and total lunatic. In fact, at the time, I am certain the court appointed attorney, the district attorney, and the judge were under the same impression as well.
From Wiki: "He then prayed to Allah for the return of Al-Andalus (Spain and Portugal) and the deliverance of Ceuta, Melilla, India and Kashmir to the Muslims. He also prayed for the destruction of several nations—including Israel (and the Jewish people as a whole), Russia, Canada, UK, Australia, and the U.S.—and for the liberation of Palestine, Chechnya, and Afghanistan. The Court ordered a psychiatric evaluation in response."
After learning more about islam, jihad, and sharia, I now understand what this man was ranting on about.
Of course, that doesn't change my opinion of him as a complete lunatic.

I put this murder-minded Muslim hijabette in my 'smilers with knives' e-clippings file...which is getting steadily larger.
Mr Fitzgerald gave me the idea for the title - he's always mentioning Chaucer's line about the smiler with the knife under the cloak.
But I was also inspired by this article, which is the first item in the file.
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2005/06/i-could-be-joking-and-smiling-and-then-cutting-their-throats-in-the-next-second.html
"I could be joking and smiling and then cutting their throats in the next second".
Of which, Mr Spencer observes:
'Tarik Shah, one of the two American citizens recently arrested for plotting to aid Al-Qaeda, emulates the early Muslim Abu Ad-Darda', who said, "We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them." [this is a Bukhari Hadith].
And see this essay by Mr Fitzgerald: 'Smiling Damned Villains".

Some more, on smiling Muslim villains. An arresting comment made to an online article about a book on Tariq Ramadan.
I have posted it here before, but will repeat it, for the benefit of the new readers who are coming here every day; for it throws light on the manner of this attempted assassination in London.
(I recall, from a different report, that the sweetly-smiling hijabette offered Mr Timms her *left* hand to shake - i.e. her dung hand, which shows her total contempt for him both as a non-Muslim and as representative of a non-Muslim polity - even while shoving the knife into him with her right).

'There is no point in asking people like Tariq Ramadan to "explain" themselves. All anyone will get is lies.
'He is a man who is following the letter of islam. Islam instructs to lie to infidels, to decieve in the cause of conquest.
'That is what Ramadan is doing. Ramadan is working on the conquest of the nations of the western world from within.
'Many years ago I was talking with a Zoroastrian refugee from Iran who fled the Khomeni's revolution.
'I made some silly remark the exact content of which I don't even remember.
'But I will never forget his response. He sat back, is eyes widened, and he stared at me saying,
"You do not understand. These men {and women, too, as we have just seen demonstrated, in London, upon the body of Mr Timms, who is very lucky to be alive - dda} are incredibly dangerous. You have no idea how dangerous. You cannot imagine it. **You cannot imagine what they are capable of while smiling at you** {my emphasis - dda}."
'He did not raise his voice, but the intensity with which he spoke gave it more power.
'He spoke to me after that for about 10 minutes warning me about the way these men walk and speak with total self-assurance,
'apparently normal, kind, honorable, soft spoken.
'And he told me what they did. He told me how they calmly ordered the slaughter and of neighbors.
'He told me how they lied for years, pretending to be friends and then betrayed those friends to their deaths.
'He told me how in their minds, because they are fanatics, they never have any qualms or human feelings about it.
'To them, if a person is not a muslim, they are nothing. {Mr Timms was nothing, to this Muslim woman in London - dda}
'To them, if a person is not a good muslim (fundamentalist, following to the letter) then they are a heretic.
'He asked me to never forget what he said because he had seen it.
'I had some contacts with such people later.
'When I refused to convert after one of them worked on me, he told me calmly that he would kill me on the battlefield.
'I also remember reading the description of the behavior of the 9-11 hijackers given by the people who used a cell phone before the plane went down in PA.
'The hijackers were very polite, smiling, apologetic to the passengers.
'Tariq Ramadan is a man to be feared. He is exactly the kind of incredibly dangerous man that the Iranian refugee warned me about.
'He is exactly the kind of man I met later.
'This is not a game.
'He has one purpose here in the west. He has the goal of destroying our society and everything we believe in. He has the goal of replacing it with Sharia and fundamentalist islam.
'That means that you, anyone who is not a muslim, are to be killed, or utterly subjugated.
' Do not be taken in by his pleasant manner, by his atmosphere of certainty. Know where it comes from. Understand him.
'He is so much farther into fundamentalism than the most notorious southern baptist that you who read my words here cannot imagine it.
'I know this. I could not have imagined it. He is a fanatic, and a liar extraordinaire because of his fanaticism."
They aknowledge the social security money and help from the Bristish govt., but not this. What a suprise. Simply return them to their original country with family. If England is so very un-islamic they should be deported. Of course this govt., won't do that it's a vote loser. It won't be a vote loser when their own children are driven out of the UK my sharia if this continues.
How taqiyya works:
I approach you, I offer my hand;
I know that you don't understand;
It's so good to see ya.
A moment's taqiyya -
Bismillah! By god you're unmanned.

you've written quite a few of those sarcastic counter-jihad limericks by now.
Seriously, I think you should consider collecting them together - are you keeping copies? - and publishing them in a little book.
Maybe Bosch Fawstin could collaborate with you - I think that some suitably satirical illustrations would set them off nicely.
The Muslim Council of Britain has issued a press release condemning the stabbing and stating 'Political differences must be resolved in forums of discussion and debate and not by such mindless act of violence.'
Is the MCB voicing its genuine belief ? Or is it engaging in a little taqiyya as per 'apprehension' and Allah's command 3:28 ?
Hi DDA, there might be some interest in such a collection; the thought crossed my mind. I appreciate your appreciation.

This Governments children and grandchildren will have plenty of money to get out of Britain as soon as the worst looks like happening. They're all multi-millionaires for starters. They can jump ship in good time, unlike our descendants who will be stuck here because they don't have money as their escape route.
