UK: Muslim claims Islam justifies his killing love rival

Apr 22, 2015 11:57 pm By Robert Spencer

quran2“Chowdhury claimed killing was justified by Islam and included a passage from the Quran which said: ‘Cut the neck of the man who eyed up his wife.’” Killing of various kinds is certainly justified by Islam, but the Qur’an doesn’t say “Cut the neck of the man who eyed up his wife.” But if it isn’t in the Qur’an, could he have gotten this idea from any other Islamic teachings? Oh, yes indeed, and plenty of them.

“Jealous boyfriend killed love rival by stabbing him 20 times to stop him showing ‘intimate’ pictures of his girlfriend to her Imam father,” by Darren Boyle, MailOnline, April 22, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A jealous boyfriend stabbed his love rival to death after he threatened show intimate photographs of her to her Imam father.

Gulam Chowdhury, 24, quoted verses from the Quran before stabbing Mohammed Yasser Afzal 20 times in the east London mini cab office where his victim worked.

The court heard that Nargis Riaz, 22, was terrified that Mr Afzal would show intimate photographs to her father who was a strict Imam.

The Old Bailey heard that Ms Riaz had been involved in a relationship with Chowdhury and Mr Riaz for several weeks before the murder on March 24, 2014.

Her parents were unaware she was friendly with either man.

Chowdhury told Ms Riaz, a second year law student at City University, the attack was justified in Islam claiming: ‘Cut the neck of the man who eyed up his wife.’

Later he reassured her: ‘Don’t worry little angel, it’s me who’s a psycho not you.’

Chowdhury showed no emotion today as a jury of seven men and five women found him guilty of the murder of Mr Afzal, 22, on March 24 last year.

Riaz, who was also standing trial for murder, faces a retrial after the jury failed to reach a verdict after 21 hours and 37 minutes’ deliberation.

Co-defendant Muhammed Khan, 23, was acquitted of assisting an offender.

The court heard Ms Riaz had been dating both Chowdhury and Mr Afzal in the weeks before the murder, but kept both relationships from her strict parents.

Dramatic CCTV footage showed masked Chowdhury storm the E20 minicab company in Stratford Broadway, east London on March 24 last year.

He vaulted the counter armed with a carving knife as Riaz was stood outside during the frenzied attack.

Detectives investigating the murder found a series of texts from Chowdhury to her in the weeks leading up to the attack.

In one message, Chowdhury repeatedly asked Riaz if she wanted his rival dead and told her: ‘No one hurts Nargis and lives’.

Having converted to a strict form of Islam while held in an immigration detention centre, Chowdhury regularly quoted the Quran in his messages to Riaz.

He told her: ‘I’m going to sort this out and sort it proper, I will use the flame from my ancestors to burn the world of this scum.’

He also wrote in another message that his ancestors were ‘fearless lions that would kill for honour’.

Chowdhury claimed killing was justified by Islam and included a passage from the Quran which said: ‘Cut the neck of the man who eyed up his wife’….

    It seems that when one is converted to ISLAM, the religious conditioning begins. These converts begin to view non-Muslims as their enemies. They seem to become brainwashed, angry, and full of pride, which makes them think that they are special and so holy. I personally don’t believe that the Quran is a divine book, and I also believe that it has been tampered with by many down through the centuries. Allah is the pagan moon god of Arabia which is the so-called god of Islam. What a fabrication of lies it is to me. thanks

      It is a common mistake to consider the Koran as THE holy book of Islam. The Koran is a small part of a library of books that create Islam. Scholars now believe the Koran was the work of multiple hands over about two centuries. The text is obviously the result of a sudden and very botched recension, probably by the caliph Abd al Malik and his lieutenant Hajjaj. All the traditional legends about the Koran’s creation are contradictory. What really happened is still being discovered, and much of it is now known but the true story of the Koran has not been published because the researchers are afraid of assassination.

      Ibn Warraq’s Quest for the Historical Muhammad and Robert Spencer’s Did Muhammad Exist are great introductions to the subject of Koranic development.

      Alan, in this case his victim was also Muslim. But pious Muslims have no problem with this—through the handy doctrine of Takfir, they just declare their adversary to be an ipso facto Infidel, and hence Halal to murder.

    So they tell us that Islam is the ‘Religion of Peace’ and maybe ‘Universal Love and Tolerance’ (and ‘Sweetness and Light’ in general, even ‘Defender of your Pet Rabbit,’ or whatever they want to claim) when it suits them, but – in more or less the same breath – gives you Holy Licence to ‘take out the opposition’ when some other bloke gets a handle on your bird (= London slang for ‘girlfriend’) when it suits. And they would still claim some kind of general credibility rating for Islam and Muslims?

    Sorry but I had to laugh at this – it sounds straight out of Four Lions (2010 Brit comedy)

    ANOTHER ISLAMIC HONOUR KILLING

    As usual, the politically correct culture won’t allow the police to say it was an ‘HONOUR KILLING’ though the killer himself wrote: “his ancestors were ‘fearless lions that would kill for honour’.”

    And there is the Islamic method of justificatory TAQIYYA … making up one’s own Islamic texts to support anything a Muslim male wants to do. I imagine that’s the way the hadiths were first written. The caliphs had writers create ‘sayings of Mohammed’ that were actually the political daily needs of the caliphs.

    Of course, the doctrine of ‘ghira’ (defensive jealous rage) supports what he did.

    • gravenimage says

      Apr 23, 2015 at 3:10 pm

      Very true, Mortimer. And just like with most “Honor Killings”, this does not appear to be a lone affair. Besides Choudury’s thug buddy Muhammed Khan, it sounds as though girlfriend Nargiz Riaz was probably in on it, as well.

      And even though their purpose was to prevent her Imam father from finding out she was dating—which might sound superficially “moderate”, it is quite clear in Choudary’s own quoting of the Qur’an (slightly off or not) that he is just as murderously devout.

    ‘Cut the neck of the man who eyed up his wife’ ”

    That’s probably one of those lost verses that the goat ate…

    The elites of the Infidel world imagine that there is no connection between the Islamic scriptures and Moslems, much as the link is at best tenuous between the Bible and modern day Jews and Christians. Yet Christian’s are being slaughtered and terrorized and displaced en masse nowadays.

    Imagine, and everything will be alright. I liked George Harrison’s song Taxman better than John Lennon’s Imagine because it was more realistic, it made a better account of the facts of the world we live in. Although Lennon’s sentiment was an admirable one.

    Rupert Murdoch should direct his toady the overrated Roger Ailes to immediately hire Anjem Chowdhury as a Fox Contributor. I like this guy, he’s well informed and is a straight shooter.

    Assign him to be on every segment having to do with Islam on The Five, and with Greta on On the Record, Bill on The Spin Factor and Sean on Hannity. Every time the words “extremist” or “radical” or “radicalized” or “moderate Moslem” are spoken, Anjem would cackle derisively and invoke the scriptural bit relevant to the subject. That’d be good. Real good.

      Unfortunately, an American hostage they were using as a human shield was killed as well.

    Unlike the Quran, the Bible states God’s true nature…….

    “The LORD is merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
    He will not always chide,
    nor will he keep his anger forever.

    (Ps. 103:8–9)
