Jihad terrorist's wife: "I was forced to hunt Jews"

This story says that Shasta Khan was on a "personal jihad," but the target was actually the most common jihadist target the world over: Jews, the worst enemies of the Muslims according to the Qur'an (5:82).

"'I was forced to hunt Jews', claims terror trial wife," by Jonathan Kalmus for The JC, July 5 (thanks to Kenneth):

She was the victim of three unlucky marriages to a rapist, a serial adulterer and, most recently, a self-declared terrorist. That is how the woman accused of plotting to blow up Jews in Manchester with her husband began her first evidence in court this week.

The defence opened on day 10 of the terror trial at Manchester Crown Court, which alleges that Shasta Khan, 38, from Oldham, used her hairdressing business as a front to make bombs and seek Jewish targets as part of a personal jihad.

Mrs Khan had sat expressionless through days of prosecution evidence. But giving evidence on Tuesday, the she looked nervous, handcuffed twice and accompanied by two prison officers to the witness box.

She told how, as a teenager, she had been sent to Pakistan by her family in a forced marriage after her younger sister was caught with a boyfriend. Her marriage ended after repeated rapes, she said. A second marriage had ended when her new husband left her after he had four affairs, leading her into depressions and strained relationships, the court heard.

Mrs Khan told how her depression was relieved by a return to faith, including Muslim prayer five times a day.

It was a return to faith that assisted finding her latest husband in 2010, Mohammed Sajid Khan, who has pleaded guilty to preparing acts of terrorism and to three counts of owning prohibited terrorist material. Mrs Khan denies the same charges.

But this marriage, in which the couple changed their dress from Western to tradition Muslim garb and head coverings, turned sour the morning after their wedding day, Mrs Khan claimed.

“He would call me all sorts of names, dumb bitch, slag, prostitute…He would threaten me, punch his hands together and say this is what I will do to you,” she said. Mrs Khan also claimed he forced her to do sexual acts.

On Tuesday morning during the presentation of evidence by the prosecution, tapes were played of Mrs Khan’s police interrogation. She had been asked why her SatNav had Jewish roads, the Jewish Agency and a house labelled “HQ” set as favourite locations.

She answered: “I don’t know” and “I don’t remember.”

When officers quizzed her about the dozens of extremist DVDs and CDs on jihad and terrorism, including chemical weapons, found in her car and bedroom, she was heard to say: “It was a mistake. I asked my husband to copy them for me.”...

A "mistake."

How can solace come from Islamic prayers? This woman is depressed because she prays to Allah, aka Satan. Renounce Islam and Muslims!

she was heard to say: “It was a mistake. I asked my husband to copy them for me.”...

A "mistake."

The only mistake she made was in being stupid enough to be caught red handed.

Off-topic but may be of interest: the police have notified two EDL members of death threats in advance of their demo in Bristol this weekend. The names of the men threatened have not been revealed: http://durotrigan.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/death-threats-made-against-edl-members.html

As much as she's obviously cowsheeting, prehaps she has the makings of a Hirsi Ali.

Just a thought.

"It was a mistake."

I'll say!

You're saying that one cannot gain solace out of Islamic prayers? I think you are wrong. I find so much peace and comfort from praying as a Muslim.

What you don't understand is that we Muslims are not terrorists. We are peaceful people that are being persecuted by Christians, Jews, and Atheists all because some stupid people decide to murder themselves and others in the name of Allah, and trying to label themselves Muslim.

What does the Qur'an say about killing people?

"On account of [his deed], We decreed to the Children of Israel that if anyone kills a person – unless in retribution for
murder or spreading corruption in the land – it is as if he kills all
mankind, while if any saves a life it is as if he saves the lives of all mankind." 5:32

Now, I beg you all to research Islam for yourselves. Don't listen to the rumours that are spread by sites like this that only try to paint Islam as a terrorist religion.

I mean, if you're going to listen to the rumours and believe them, then you need to start reading your Bibles and seeing the kind of violence that is portrayed. Or looking at the people who commit crimes or acts of terrorism in the name of Christianity.

I don't believe a word she says. This whole story is nothing more than a bid for sympathy. The worst thing is it will probably work. She'll get off and be 'forced' to do it again.


"Rumours?" That's what we have here are "rumours?"

Come on, don't even start with that tiresome nonsense here...

First, notice the gaping loophole. Killing is allowed in cases of murder or “for spreading mischief in the land.” Murder is pretty straightforward, but “spreading mischief?” If anything begged for a careful and precise explanation, this phrase certainly would. But generations of Muslims are left to apply their own interpretation of what “mischief” means - with varying standards. Verse 7:103 of the Qur'an even indicates that merely rejecting Muhammad and the Qur'an would qualify.

Secondly, note the broader context of this verse. It turns out that this isn’t a divine command to Muslims after all. It’s a recounting of a rule that was given to the Jews. It isn’t an admonition against killing. It’s an indictment against the Jews for violating the law given to them. “Any one” doesn’t mean “anyone,” but rather “any one” of the Jews.

Any application to Muslims would have to apply only to Muslims - as in Muslim on Muslim murder within the brotherhood of believers. In fact, the context of the verse is the murder of Abel by Cain. Historically, this verse has never been interpreted by Islamic scholars to mean that Allah places equal value on the lives of non-Muslims. The Qur'an says that restitution for murder is bound by the law of equality (2:178) and that non-believers are not equal to Muslims (39:09). Muhammad affirmed that while a Muslim may be punished with death for killing a fellow Muslim, they should never be slain for killing a non-believer.

Rather than encouraging tolerance, Sura 5 as a whole is actually an incitement of hatred with a hint of violence. Jews and Christians are explicitly cursed as ‘wicked’ people with ‘diseased hearts’ and as hateful ‘blasphemers’ respectively. Muhammad goes on to coyly remind his people that Allah loves those who “fight” in his service - and it’s fairly obvious who the enemy is.

Muslim apologists conveniently leave out the fact that the gruesome verse which follows 5:32 actually mandates killing in the case of the aforementioned “mischief”. It even suggests crucifixion and “the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides.”

Together, verses 5:32-33 actually provide the basis for blasphemy laws, in which people are executed for insulting or questioning Islam. Ironically then, the very part of the Qur'an that apologists use to portray Islam as a non-violent religion has long been used as justification for making verbal offense into a capital crime.

So, the Qur'an's best example of moral instruction is a passage which actually mandates the torture and execution of those deemed a threat to Islamic hegemony...

With this being the best that Islam has to offer, it’s not hard to guess why the religion contributes over a thousand deadly terrorist attacks to the world each and every year.

Give up pathetic loser troll, we have all well done our independent and for most of us, deep homework, indeed, and well know that at real, basic, fundamental truths, islam is pure manifestation of unimaginable crimes against humanity, especially women and animals. You and your people are the cruelest of people, and the most retarded as well. Most of us have done our homework, on islam, independent of JW, as well.

We well know you and your liar and supremacist types, nearly everyone, or a high proportion, of you criminally brainwashed muslims, so far as my both personal knowledge, and book learning, is concerned, are supremeacists, and-or liars. I personally have worked with your ilk, and kind. Finally, you lie like a rug. I read your worthless devil's book, you sob. I know you! Look up abrogation, stupid, as though you don't know.

"We are peaceful people that are being persecuted by Christians, Jews, and Atheists all because some stupid people decide to murder themselves and others in the name of Allah, and trying to label themselves Muslim."

There is no effort by any Muslim organization or country to find these misunderstanders of Islam to correct them on your version of Islam...

She made no attempt to notify authorities...

And its your own "learned" imams ("holy men") who sanctify ass-rape/sodomy so that a bomb can be inserted in a man's asshole?

---------------------

What you don't understand is that we Muslims are not terrorists. We are peaceful people that are being persecuted by Christians, Jews, and Atheists all because some stupid people decide to murder themselves and others in the name of Allah, and trying to label themselves Muslim.

Nice try, but ain't gonna work here on JW. It is obvious we know your "holy" books better than you do.

Oh, and don't quote us 5:32 as being all "peaceful" bullshit. 5:33 pretty much renders this whole fallacy useless.

Get lost!


Her parental hand-picked husbands treat her like excrement, exactly like Islam allows them to, and so, after she splits from them, she turns to Islam for solace.

Brilliant! Were her parents siblings?

NO one is persecuting you. If anything, people are just awakening to Islam's jihadist components and some of us even have the unmitigated nerve to ask Muslims to take a look at those primitive aspects of their Quran that call for active violence and intolerance against non-Muslims. I hope more do so before it is too late.

As far as "looking into the Bible to see the violence in it," I could count on one hand the number or terrorist attacks and movements inspired by the Bible; there is NO international supremacist movement of world conquest based on the Bible; there is absolutely no call for violence by Christians or Jews against "non-believers" much less one inspired by the Bible's historical narratives.

Stop playing the victim. Muslims have only themselves to blaim; so, instead of casting responsibility for Muslim misdeeds off onto "Jews, Christians, and atheists," decide to be an adult about it and look at where the fault really lies.

@ Qur'anistan

You're a complete clown! Imagine anyone visiting JW and hoping to pull the wool over our eyes with the kind of childish nonsense in your post.

I'll pick up on just one part: You wrote: 'What you don't understand is that we Muslims are not terrorists. We are peaceful people ......'

An ex-Muslim, Ibn Warraq, who has had to change his name because there are Muslims who want to murder him for his apostasy, famously said that there are many peaceful Muslims, but there is no such thing as peaceful Islam.

And that's the fundamental difference between your argument and Ibn Warraq's.

Answer this question! Do you think it's possible for anyone to object to Islam (not Muslims) out of conscience, purely conscience? They have nothing to gain financially or in any other way, they simply object to Islam on the grounds of conscience.

That's the basic position here on JW. By the way, hang around and do some reading of the archives here and learn what Islam's real agenda is - if you don't already know and have come to JW to spread mischief in our land with taqqiya.

This like a Lifetime Movie of the Week..."Oh why do I have such bad luck with men"? Maybe, because deep down where it counts, you're a SAVAGE.

Give it up, you're preaching to the wrong crowd here. We know too much about islam......more than we ever wanted to know.

Tunisia: Salafist nurseries, art of indoctrination

Before the rise of Salafists, the provisional government of Tunisia is trying to show he has things well in hand.

The description of these kindergartens “Islamic” is chilling: girls veiled from head to toe, “no toys, what is haram (unlawful), no mixing is haram, not singing and music is haram, not dance and play, it is satanic … “describes the Kapitalis journalist who conducted the investigation. He concluded: “We know how the tragedy of Afghanistan began: with the proliferation of so-called Islamic madrassas, which have turned into factories for terrorists in the pay of the international Wahhabi. What do the Tunisian authorities to realize the magnitude of the hazard and take appropriate action? ”

I glad you mentioned 5:32, it reminded me to re-read:

"“The Qur’an Teaches that all Life is Sacred”
(Qur’an, Verse 5:32)

The Muslim Game:

In an effort to portray their religion as non-violent, Muslim apologists vigorously employ verse 5:32, which would appear to promote a universal principal that all life is sacred to Allah - especially the way it is typically quoted by apologists:

"…if any one slew a person… it would be as if he slew a whole people; and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of a whole people…"
(As quoted by the Fiqh Council of North America in their ultimately meaningless “Fatwa against Terrorism”)

The Truth:

This fragment of verse 5:32 is what the apologists want non-Muslims to believe is in the Qur’an, as opposed to the dozens of other open-ended passages that command warfare, beheadings and torture. But even what they usually quote from 5:32 isn’t quite how it appears. Remember all those ellipses? There's something being left out.

Here’s the full text of the verse:

“On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.”
First, notice the gaping loophole. Killing is allowed in cases of murder or “for spreading mischief in the land.” Murder is pretty straightforward, but “spreading mischief?” If anything begged for a careful and precise explanation, this phrase certainly would. But generations of Muslims are left to apply their own interpretation of what “mischief” means - with varying standards. Verse 7:103 of the Quran even indicates that merely rejecting Muhammad and the Quran would qualify.
