Sharia Philadelphia: Imam, mosque leader try to cut off accused thief’s hand

Jul 19, 2014 8:54 am By Robert Spencer

Philadelphia Police Department photo of Merv Mitchell, also known as Mabul Shoatz“The thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands in recompense for what they committed as a deterrent from Allah. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.” (Qur’an 5:38)

Why was Merv Mitchell, aka Mabul Shoatz, arrested? You can see from his impressive zebiba that he is simply a devout Muslim. He and his imam were following the plain word of their religion, which, as you can see from the above quote, mandates the amputation of the thief’s hand. We are constantly told that we must have respect for Islam and that to oppose Sharia and its spread in the U.S. would be “Islamophobic” and “bigoted.” So Mabul Shoatz and the mosque imam should be issued apologies and allowed to finish their amputation without hindrance from the police.

“Philadelphia mosque leaders try to cut off man’s hand -police,” by Daniel Kelley, Reuters, July 18, 2014 (thanks to all who sent this in):

(Reuters) – Two men described as leaders of a Philadelphia mosque were accused of trying to cut off the hand of a suspected thief, whose wrist was sliced so deeply it required hospital treatment, police said on Friday.

The 46-year-old victim said two officials in the mosque accused him of stealing jars of money from the house of worship after morning prayers on Monday.

The officials, described in police reports as the mosque’s imam and amir, dragged the victim to the rear of the mosque, and attempted to chop off his hand with a machete, according to a police statement.

He sustained a severe laceration to his right wrist, and was transported to a nearby hospital by medics.

Officers served a search warrant on Thursday on the mosque, located in a house in the city’s Overbrook section, where they arrested Merv Mitchell, also known as Mabul Shoatz. They recovered a 2-foot-long machete from the scene.

The mosque’s imam, an unidentified 35-year-old male, has not yet been located, police said.

Mitchell was charged with aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy, simple assault, reckless endangerment, and related offenses.

    A friend of mine did seven in Lieber for assault with a machete, but that was because he was attacked by the guy when in bed with his wife (he shouldn’t have pled). Now he’s a Christian Pastor. I gave him a small machete for his birthday. He calls it Bessie. The moral: Only use a machete in self defense.

      An impressive zebiba indeed looks just like a skid mark in a set of drawers.

        Hello Transmaster — and thanks for my first weekend laugh. Chuckles are hard to find in these pathological times…

        When I look at the eminent Mabul Shoatz ( MS, PhD, JD, LLC, RFD, COPD, DOA ) somehow the additional honorific title “ABC” comes to mind — Allah’s Brain Container.

        This must be the nastiest zebiba I have seen to date. Not the largest, but simply the most disgusting.

          Maybe the machete, and a little alcohol, and he could cut it off – at the neck.

    You can get a sense of this imam’s embrace of the Shariah.

    Check out the zebibah (head bump). Yikes.

    A machete? Is that part of a mosque’s standard equipment?

    • jihad3tracker says

      Jul 19, 2014 at 9:50 am

      Naughty, G179 ! ! ! Have you been sneaking in to mosques like me ?

      Yes, OF COURSE machetes are duty-issue for modern Islam’s prayer palaces.

      They are often kept handy taped to pressure cookers sitting on bags of fertilizer / nails / timers / Qur’ans.

    one of my biggest problems with islam is its vile self righteous theology that make muslims feel morally superior to others. this obvious zebiba makes him simply look foolish, as if a totally rightteous and just GOD would be impressed with such outward trappings. This foolish man doesn’t realize his complete and utter depraved destitute sinful nature and the futlity of his attempts to impress the one true GOD ( not Allah/Satan)

      “Revelation 14:11 and 20:4, there appears to be an oath of acceptance, directly connected to taking the mark, to worship the beast as ones god. They will also by compelled by the penalty of rejecting the beast’s mark and religion – death by beheading.”

    Thank God we live in a time and place where the authorities’ response to this is to rush the man to the hospital and place the perpetrators under arrest. I wonder how long we have before this kind of thing is routinely defended by PC-MC people as a “valid expression of non-Western, anti-imperialist standards of justice.”

    The mark on this man’s forehead is both fascinating and disgusting. It does remind me of the verses in the Bible regarding the “mark of the Beast.” But even aside from that….if pounding one’s head against the floor five times a day with force and enthusiasm can leave a permanent mark on the forehead, then what also is happening to the brain matter on the other side of the head-pounder’s skull? Could there also be some sort of internal bruising or other damage occuring to the brain over time… perhaps leading to mental problems or the intensification of already existing mental problems? Athletes such as boxers and football players have become aware of the effects of repeated trauma to the brain. Could there be a lesson waiting to be learned here?

    • Mirren10 says

      ” … if pounding one’s head against the floor five times a day with force and enthusiasm can leave a permanent mark on the forehead, then what also is happening to the brain matter on the other side of the head-pounder’s skull?

      Interesting point, CES. However, I think islam in and of itself is enough of a mental disease, ( in many cases **voluntarily** embraced) .

      No doubt the head banging **does** intensify what is **already** a mental disease, but there are many mohammedans, born, or converts, who don’t exhibit such. It is islam itself which is the mental disease. Or, in the case of converts, an evil which is deliberately **chosen**.

    How hypocritical that Muslims would get all self-righteous over the issue of theft.

    Islam’s adulterer ‘perfect man’ thieving pimp prophet was an stealer of other men’s wives.

    Muslims must now over-compensate to give cover for Muhammad’s endless disgrace as revealed in the Qur’an and Hadith.

  12. Jay Boo says

    Jul 19, 2014 at 2:59 pm

    Muslims claim that all theft including adultery is a very bad thing.
    Yet they hold up Islam’s PBUH clown thief as an example to follow.

    How psycho is that?

    So what are we doing about it to use our words for anything but preaching to the choir here?

    Here’s another of my comment series unlikely to be posted today —

    “Your [http://wamc.org/post/mass-us-senator-markey-weighs-ukraine-and-gaza] failure to “approve” the comment below would only prove that you’re part of the TTHT (Taqiyya Trojan Horse Tactics) brigade.

    Consistent with the subtext of his remarks here, Senator Edward Markey, Democrat from Massachusetts, also and not coincidentally on the U.S. Senate’s Committee on Foreign Relations, is co-sponsoring S. 2219 with New York Democrat Congressman Hakeem Jeffries sponsoring H.R. 3878. See https://www.facebook.com/ConcernedAmericansAgainstTheTakeoverOfAmerica/posts/529458160496134. Senator Markey by his remarks about the plane shot down over the Ukraine and about Gaza utterly fails to disclose: (1) the likelihood that Ukrainian Muslim terrorists (with the most to gain from the chaos, and also being unwelcome to non-Muslim “separatists” who know from experience about Islamic terror tactics and are fighting in self-defense against the Muslim terrorists) misused stolen Russian equipment to shoot down the plane, or (2) the ongoing deception and violence of Hamas as a terrorist organization by its 1988 charter (never abrogated), currently requiring its own soldier-citizens in Gaza under Hamas threat to be human shields to Israel’s cross-fire in self-defense after Hamas initiated aggression. Senator Markey is a hypocrite and oligarch who like POTUS betrays the American people in foreign press commentary as well as in Washington, D.C.”

    As I get informally, behind-the-scenes censored more and more on the internet, I am emailing all my personal contacts and lists with messages like the following:

    “Hope you’re having a beautiful Saturday! Thinking of you, wishing only good to all you love.

    This email forwards information and a guide to action for anybody who might be similarly moved under rapidly escalating Islamist geopolitical encroachments and new risks to Americans by stealth jihad. We now face a new potential to have our Constitutional freedoms eroded internally through elected officials following the overtly demoralizing terrorism of 9/11, Fort Hood and the Boston Marathon Bombing. (The fact that some legislation tracking websites publish a small likelihood of this anti-freedom legislation passing could be designed to lull us into inaction. In a “taqiyya” world, nothing said or printed can be taken at face value, only what is done or not done.)

    There’s a lot of information in the forwarded email. In summary without the provided context, Congressman Hakeem Jeffries sponsoring H.R. 3878 is a Democrat, New Yorker and Muslim.

    His co-sponsor in the Senate for S. 2219, Senator Edward Markey, is a Democrat and Liberal from Massachusetts, also and not coincidentally on the U.S. Senate’s Committee on Foreign Relations.

    It continues to go increasingly wrong in the UK where Muslims and their apologists who are politically prominent citizens twist more and more control of government into alignment with principles of Sharia law instead of the rule of Western civilization’s law. In America we still have the Constitution which the UK lacks, and which our forebears fought the British to obtain. Congressman Hakeem Jeffries’ bill, aided and abetted by traitorous Senator Markey, is an end-run around the Constitution that many bloggers I read see as a “line in the sand” we should not allow our nation to cross.

    I hope and pray Americans will not believe falsely “it cannot happen here” and by inaction not even let their elected leaders know we object as a patriotic people.

    And now I’m going to go enjoy the rest of my Saturday while I’m still free to do so!”

    Islamophoiba means fear of Islam, from the Greek, hatred of of Islam would be Islamomiseo. Why are Islamophiles (also from Greek) so ignorant?

    • chrissie says

      Is that the mark on the forehead that the bible speaks about?

  16. Uncle Vladdi says

    Jul 20, 2014 at 5:48 pm

    Silly kid!

    Obviously, this is all really only the fault of the Imam, who neglected to teach him that, while sneak-thieving does qualify as limb-amputable theft in islamic sharia, the openly blatant outright extortion of property (commonly known in the West as “ROBBERY”) is perfectly halal practice, as frequently enacted by the Perfect Man, and Prophit, “Big Moe” (Pigs Be Upon Him) himself!

    So there is no sharia penalty whatsoever for open robbery (unless sneakily done at night, while wearing a mask or other disguise, and even then only if one’s relative isn’t involved, in whch case that sort of thing is perfectly OK, too)!

    Legal robbery is also known as “compulsion” and “usurpation” in sharia “law” (crime) manuals!

    😉

    2) http://www.islamofobie.nl/index.php/blog/meer/de_zebibah_galerij_het_vervolg/
    Categories: murderers, ‘men of knowledge’, Egyptian politician, politician from other countries, converts, random.
