“Judge Ian McClintock queried what religious view prevented al-Ahmadzai from standing, which Mr Hanna was unable to answer.” And so yet again we see the indestructible and crystalline ignorance of so many non-Muslim officials regarding Islam and jihad. Hanna wasn’t even curious enough to ask his client why he was refusing to stand? If he had, he would have discovered that Milad Bin Ahmad-Shah al-Ahmadzai doesn’t respect Infidel laws or authorities, but only the law of Allah, and would consider standing for an Australian judge tantamount to idolatry — showing respect that is due only to Allah. And that has implications far beyond this case. That may be why Hanna preferred to remain ignorant: pretending that what is happening isn’t happening is easier than dealing with it.
“Muslim man refuses to stand in court due to religion,” by Ben McLellan, The Daily Telegraph, May 24, 2014:
A MUSLIM man who threatened to “slit the throat” of an intelligence officer has refused to stand for a judge in court.
Milad Bin Ahmad-Shah al-Ahmadzai, 24, yesterday declined to stand as he pleaded guilty to threatening serious harm to a Commonwealth official and using a carriage service to harass and menace.
His lawyer Nick Hanna yesterday told the District Court his client’s refusal to stand was due to his religion.
Judge Ian McClintock queried what religious view prevented al-Ahmadzai from standing, which Mr Hanna was unable to answer.
“It is a perceived view that it is not appropriate for him to stand in court. It is not advancing any discourtesy to the court,” Mr Hanna said.
Commonwealth prosecutor Karen Leavy said “on the face of it it’s disrespectful”.
Mr McClintock did not instruct al-Ahmadzai’s to stand but said he had noted it.
Al-Ahmadzai pleaded guilty in December last year to threatening the intelligence officer in a phone call in May 2013, telling him “I’m gonna crack your neck” and “come near my family again, I’m gonna slit your throat pig”….
Note: An earlier version of this post identified the country in which this took place as the UK. Apologies for the error.
Clearview says
I believe this actually occurred in Sydney, Australia, rather than the UK. I recall around 2-3 similar reports in the last 12 months of muslims refusing to stand for Australian judicial officers.

It says there quite clearly in large print Australia, also in Uk we do not refer to Commomwealth prosecutors and officials. They are called Crown Prosecutors.
The judegs hould have added some extra time for the contempt of court
This very typical of Muslims that in their countries non muslims are required to follow the local laws and respect the religion, but in countries in which they choose to live, they do not show respect for our customs and culture.
mortimer says
Why did he refuse to stand? How about CONTEMPT OF COURT?
Contempt of kafirs. Contempt of kafir laws. Contempt of Britain. Contempt of the British government. Contempt of the British people who gave this ingrate a place to live and modern services. Contempt of freedom, democracy, free speech, pluralism, equality for women, science. Contempt of liberalism, the UNHR, everyone of other faiths, Shi’ites, gays, Jews, agnostics, ale drinkers in pubs…etc.
But ‘contempt of court’ is what this is.
tahmineh says
Exactly. That lousy quranimal doesn’t belong in the civilized world. He should be deported and permanently banned and placed on an international terrorist list. Deport any immigrant who refuses to follow the laws of the land. And their families. Wouldn’t be “humanitarian” to split up families.
Nick says
Hello Robert,
This is in NSW Australia – You see these types driving around South West Sydney, our version of Dearborn or Tower Hamlets.
Cheers
Nick

David says
That picture is of an Australian Muslim that wouldn’t stand for the judge.
Rokdoktor says
This incident took place in Sydney, Australia, and has nothing to do with the UK. That said, the judge will likely take a dim view of the disrespect and adjust the sentence accordingly.
coffey3c says
The part about this that I don’t understand, is the reluctance to treat this man as any other would be. Many U.S. Judges would simply explain that he was in contempt, and that he was remanded into custody until such time that he stood and apologized to the court. A life sentence might seem a little steep for a verbal assault, but it would certainly make the point that he is subject to the authority of the court, and the laws they administer, unmistakably clear.
Judges in the UK, can also hold people indefinitely for failure to comply as well, I believe.
bobm says
judges in the UK seem quite capable of using their personal lube.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He won’t stand in court and so the nightmare begins. Next he’ll refuse to shave and there will be endless dietary demands, etc, etc …
Hey the judge should design a special chair for punks like him which cause you to *spring* to your feet and stand in attention! …and then shock you if you sit down, lol!
Yeah I say make him stand, make him shave, and make him eat what every other *criminal* is having for breakfast, lunch and dinner, too! Jeez show him who’s boss from the get-go!
Judi says
A special chair. Yeah, an electric one preferably
Champ says
ahaha!! …good one 😀

Islam, the terminal cancer infecting Britain ( and elsewhere ).
You cannot reason, negotiate, compromise or build bridges with cancer. If you don´t eradicate cancer it will eradicate you. If you don´t eradicate Islam it will eradicate you. There is no middle ground with Islam, no friendly Muslim neighbourhoods. Its the Muslim way or no way. Anything else is just Muslim Takiyya bullshit spread in countries where they are still a social and political minority.
gungadin says
Has the entire world gone “nuts” ?? Why do good people who love freedom and peace tolerate those who hate others because of their beliefs? If you believe in a superior being a -God- that God is a God of love not a God of killing and mayhem as Sharia Law preaches.
I submit if people with the mindset that Sharia Law must be the law for all lands, than let that mindset wallow with their own and keep the followers of Sharia out of the West.

just hang him and get it over with!!!!!!!!
Alan Haywood says
Meanwhile, our governments sit on their backsides and allow things to drift along, completely failing to even begin to address this problem.
Islam IS a cancer in our midst. It is we, the children of all those who fought for the very freedoms these animals use against us, who are suffering because of their inaction.
We have seen an increase in so-called right wing movements across Europe very recently, and the venerable EU is now trying to understand why it is. Dissatisfaction, is what it is, with the entire governing class…and they should be aware that the ‘Peasants Revolt’ is rumbling on.
Do something now..or we will is the message.

You know, I’m starting to suspect that maybe the Moslems disrespect us Infidels.
Teresa Sardinha says
We are just as ignorant of Islam here in the good ole USA:

“The judge has previously given Osmakac permission not to stand when the judge or jury enters the courtroom because of his religious beliefs.”
Lawrence Davis says
Aw, strewth! There are over twenty million sheep in Australia and a lot of the woolly variety as well.
We the sheeple gladly hand over our freedoms and self respect so the elite can can live in the comfort they are accustomed to.
He does not want to stand up? Jam a cattle prod up his bum, he might even enjoy it. Have a nice day.
Loll
