Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Muslims get 36 years for battering two men almost to death with baseball bats because they weren’t Muslim

Jul 3, 2014 5:27 pm By Robert Spencer

AbuBakrMansha2“A spokesman for the Muslim Council of Britain said: ‘This was a criminal act and we condemn it unreservedly. Our thoughts and sympathy are with both victims and their families. Criminals are not motivated by anything other than their own base desires. If they claim they were motivated by faith, as some have reported, then they are surely misguided.'” Surely — and yet Islamic jihadists are targeting non-Muslims solely because of their faith in Nigeria, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Bangladesh, Thailand and elsewhere. How did this misguidance become so common among Muslims?

“Racist thugs jailed for 36 years for battering two men almost to death with baseball bats because they weren’t Muslim,” by Dan Bloom, Daily Mail, July 3, 2014:

Six thugs have been jailed for 36 years after battering two men almost to death because they were black and non-Muslim.

Ringleader Abu Bakr Mansha – who was previously jailed under the Terrorism Act for plotting to kill or harm a decorated soldier – was with a teenage boy when the pair began the unprovoked attack at a busy Tesco store in Bow, east London.

He assaulted the two victims before following them home to discover where they lived – then called four other thugs to help.

Armed with baseball bats, they beat the two men in a vicious attack which left both victims needing hospital treatment for serious injuries.

One of the victims, who were 40 and 49 at the time, suffered two broken wrists and a fractured skull.

The Inner London Crown Court heard there was both a religious element and a racial element to the attack on the two men, who were black and non-Muslim.

The vicious assault sparked an investigation by the Metropolitan Police’s counter-terrorism command.

All six of the attackers, who the Met Police confirmed were Muslim, pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm with intent.

Judge Ian Darling said: ‘Not only was there a religious aspect to this offence, but there was an undoubted racial element.

‘Both prior to and after the attack, Mr Mansha is heard to use language that is foul, unacceptable and which reveals a degree of racial intolerance that is worrying.’

Ringleader Mansha, of Newham, north London, was jailed for 10 years.

He had already been jailed under the Terrorism Act in 2005 for plotting to kill or harm a decorated British soldier who had served in Iraq.

A court heard he had collected newspaper cuttings about the exploits of Corporal Mark Byles, who had been awarded the Military Cross after leading an attack in which five insurgents died.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed the Abu Bakr Mansha jailed this week was the same Abu Bakr Mansha jailed over the plot in 2005.

Of the others involved in the 2012 attack, the teenage boy – who cannot be named because he is currently 17 years old – was sentenced to an 18-month detention and training order.

Salim Jada, 32, and Javed Patel, 29, both also of Newham, were jailed for eight years each.

Ibrahim Mohammed, 32, from Newham, was sentenced to six-and-a-half years’ jail, while 30-year-old Zuber Kara, of Bow, east London, received a two-year jail sentence.

Acting Commander Duncan Ball, the head of the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, said: ‘This was a vicious, cowardly, racist and religiously-motivated attack during which the victims received serious injuries.

‘The support and assistance of the local community was vital and illustrates the refusal of the public to feel intimidated by such violent criminal behaviour.

‘The fitting sentences provide strong reassurance that we remain resolute in pursuing those who carry out acts of violence.’

A spokesman for the Muslim Council of Britain said: ‘This was a criminal act and we condemn it unreservedly. Our thoughts and sympathy are with both victims and their families.

‘Criminals are not motivated by anything other than their own base desires. If they claim they were motivated by faith, as some have reported, then they are surely misguided.’

Surely!

    Look at the face of this animal. Inbreeding is rampant within the house of Islam. And this guy’s face is proof. Damn, bro. I had a friend once who said: “Provoked ugliness is diabolical.” And he was right.

      Hello Joseph —

      You have written about 95% of what I was going to post here…

      With the addition being to ask our JW readers here to also look at the faces of “prominent” American Muslims :

      Nihad Awad, Ibrahim Hooper, Keith Ellison, Corey Saylor, Reza Aslan, Nathan Lean, Linda Sarsour are the ones who regularly engage in taqiyya sedition or foul-mouthed rants.

      Take a minute to search into their eyes… Dead ethically empty zones confluent with Edgar Allen Poe’s illustrator and Rod Serling’s cinematographer.

    Brits have lost their country to these barbarians and for that they can thank their traitorous leaders and the media(e. g., BBC, Guardian, etc). and we here in North America(US and Canada) are not far behind.

    Muslims should be allowed to mmigrate to any non-Muslim country!!

        I agree. But not enough people stand up and make forbidding the non-Muslim immigration (invasion) a demand. Most people just vote for the sycophantic, mainstream far-left and then occasionally quietly grumble amongst each other about what is happening. Too many people, when they hear the truth, pick themselves up and continue on as though nothing had happened–until it is too late. Never-the-less, the rest of us should continue to fight this fight.

    “‘Criminals are not motivated by anything other than their own base desires. If they claim they were motivated by faith, as some have reported, then they are surely misguided.’”

    And exactly what base desire does the spokesman for the muslim council of Britain suggests for the motivation of this attack? None? So why does assure us they didn’t act out of their faith, even though he doesn’t offer a possible alternative?

    That’s 36 years dividing amongst 6 racist, religious supremacists. That’s an average of just 6 years per muslim thug, and when you divide that by the 2 victims, the thugs are only serving an average of 3 years for trying to kill each victim. That is disgraceful, Britain!

    “‘..If they claim they were motivated by faith, as some have reported, then they are surely misguided.”
    they were motivated by the koran and only following the example of their prophet, this is jihad.

    Notice how the dishonest liberals at that paper added up all the pathetic sentences to make it appear like serous time was being dealt out. It’s garbage like these sentences that will ensure a civil war in the future.

    “This was a criminal act and we condemn it unreservedly.”

    No, it wasn’t merely a criminal act. It was an act of war. Muslim soldiers don’t usually (in fact, usually don’t) wear uniforms.

    Reading this made me speculate again, wonder again, about what our world wold look like if it were devoid of Muslims and Western dhimmis who are apologists for Islam. I submit it would be a far better world.

    Meanwhile, indeed look at those eyes and face of the barbarian pictured above, as Joseph and jihad3tracker have already made reference to. Telling. Damning. Shark eyes, dead eyes, yet again. Islam in its full glory. No doubt.

    Ayaan Hirsi Ali, ethnically Somali, describing the primary school that she and her sister attended in Saudi Arabia:

    “Some time after we moved to Riyadh we started school, real school, in the morning, with Quran school in the afternoons.
    “But real school in Saudi Arabia was just like madrassah. We studied only Arabic, math, and the Quran, and the Quran must have taken up four-fifths of our time. Quran study was divided into a reciting class, a class on meaning, a class on the hadith…a class on the sirat, the traditional biographies of the Prophet Muhammad, and a class on fiqh, Islamic law.
    “We learned to recite the ninety-nine names of allah, and we learned how good Muslim girls should behave: what to say when we sneezed; on which side we should begin to sleep, and to what position it was permissible to move during sleep (???!!! – as if anyone knows how they are lying once they are in deep sleep?? – dda); with which foot to step into the toilet, and in what posture to sit.
    “The teacher was an Egyptian woman, and she used to beat me.

    “I was sure she picked on me because I was the only black child.

    “**When she hit me with a ruler she called me Aswad Abda – black slave-girl** {my emphasis – dda}.
    “I hated Saudi Arabia”. (from “Infidel”, chapter 3, ‘Playing Tag in Allah’s Palace’).

    To repeat: – The teacher was an Egyptian woman, and she used to beat me.

    “I was sure she picked on me because I was the only black child.

    “**When she hit me with a ruler she called me Aswad Abda – black slave-girl*”.

    Mohammedans may talk a lot of nonsense about the supposed “equality” of races within the Ummah or Mohammedan Mob, but that’s all it is – nonsense. At the top of the heap, the very “best of people”, are the Arab Mohammedans, who feel fully entitled to look down on and despise and mistreat everyone who is not Arab, whether Muslim or not. Below *them* are the other light-to-mid-brown-coloured people, including these Pakistani Muslims who attacked the two black non-Muslim men in the UK; and below *them*, right at the bottom of the pile, viewed as *slaves*, are the black Muslims.

    “Criminals are not motivated by anything other than their own base desires.”

    Mohammed attacking trading caravans is a good example.
    Mohammed killing female poet Asma bint Marwan is another.
    Mohammed marrying a child is another.
    Mohammed beheading the Banu Qurayza Jews is another.
    etc etc

    • Wellington says

      Jul 3, 2014 at 8:21 pm

      Yes, No Fear, Mohammed, the founder of Islam, was steeped in criminality, as you indicated. Herein lies quite aguably the single greatest condemnation of Islam, many as they are.

  12. RobUK78 says

    Jul 3, 2014 at 8:26 pm

    I will have to hunt down a source but I can remember a news article from about five years ago that dealt with a white student being savagely beaten by a group of Pakistanis. Witnesses heard the gang shouting “die white bastard” as they kicked him repeatedly. Yet the judge decided that their was no racial element to the crime. I’m also reminded of the race riot that took place on this very street where I live less than ten years ago. The police blamed it on a drug dispute between gangs. The white youths seemed very intent on attacking the Mosque for this to be about weed.

    I’ll take some solace that at least this judge has admitted a racial element, even if forced by events. I imagine I will be less pleased by the sentence.

    Meanwhile respectable Muslims in the UK get on with their non-violent cultural observances like mutilating the genitalia of their young women.

    Please remember he was just following Islamic directives straight from that so-called “holy” book, the koran.

  18. Reality Check says

    Jul 4, 2014 at 3:29 am

    Let me see: “Six thugs have been jailed for 36 years.”

    That makes six years a thug.

    What a ridiculous sentence!

  19. Mr Ed says

    Jul 4, 2014 at 5:00 am

    If the two men lived together, which was implied (“followed them to see where they lived”), there is a possibility that they are gay – hence an excellent reason – in Islamic minds – for Muslims to attack. Notice that the liberal papers breathed not a word of that.

  20. BC says

    Jul 4, 2014 at 8:34 am

    Please note that 36 years is misleading. That is the collective amount. The ringleader only got 10 years. He should have got at elast 20 as it was premeditated, there were two attacks in fact and they did not care if they killed the victims
    It is heartening to hear the police and the judge acknowledge that the attack was religiously motivated. They did not adopt the usual practice of ignoring the religious aspect, or should I say motivation.
    As usual these Islamic heroes attack with superior numbers 6 against 2.
    The Muslims do not mind going to jail as it is a cushy life, no need to work and they can study jihad all day and listen to preaching from radiacls. Islamic university in fact.

  21. Dennis says

    Jul 4, 2014 at 12:41 pm

    Yes men do criminal actions motivated by their base desires. However “Holy Books” and scriptures from the past, be they the Koran or the Bible give them the fuel and justify their position that they are doing it for their god. Look at the evils of the Roman Catholic Church in the past. Look at the evils in Islam today. Both religions were composed of base individuals who justified their evil agendas with ideas from their Bibles and Korans.

    • Angemon says

      Jul 4, 2014 at 1:10 pm

      I’d call you a agent provocateur but it’s Hanlon’s razor tells to never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

      Now, what Dennis here doesn’t get is that when the catholic church was involved in unchristian behaviour it was going against christian orthodoxy and was criticized for it – priests and religious scholars opposed what they perceived as false doctrines and ecclesiastic malpractice and thus the protestant reformation was born. On the other hand, muslims nowadays who groom and rape children, place bombs in crowded places or fly planes into buildings – just to name a few things – do so according to their teachings and text.

      Tell me Dennis, if, like you claim, it’s just base individuals justifying their evil agenda with the quran, where’s the outrage from the “true” muslims? Why are we seeing mulims marching en masse against the government of their host country and cheering for these so called “base individuals justifying their evil agenda with the quran” who steal, rape and kill but we see no collective effort to convince these “base individuals” that their interpretation of islam and the quran is wrong?

      Jul 4, 2014 at 7:26 pm

      Your tu quoque reasoning is showing most terribly, as Angemon and Free Speech have already noted. Indeed, as Free Speech properly opined, grow up if you can. Frankly, I think the odds are against you but give it a shot anyway, won’t you?

  22. Betty says

    Jul 4, 2014 at 5:18 pm

    you mean that is all the jail time they get. 30 to life would be better. and if they lived long enough deportation after. they will get out long before they serve all these short periods. madness is sure running these country’s. no sane judge would have let them get off so easy maybe they will serve more after the inmates get done with them. sure hope so.

  23. SpiritOf1683 says

    Jul 7, 2014 at 2:20 pm

    What is almost as disturbing as these heinous atrocities is the comments of some of the responders. With such naivety present in Britain, I shudder to think of what the country will be like 50 or so years from now.
