UK: Muslim judge spares jail for imam convicted of sexual assault because of his long service to Muslim community

Jul 8, 2016 11:21 am By Robert Spencer

Do you think that a priest convicted of sexual assault would have gotten off with a similar slap on the wrist because of his long service to the Christian community? Neither do I.

Amjad Nawaz

“Dudley Iman [sic] Mohammed Habibullah avoids jail after being found guilty of sexual assault,” Kidderminster Shuttle, July 8, 2016:

A 69-YEAR-OLD Imam who lead prayers at a mosque in the Dudley area has been spared time behind bars after he carried out a sex attack on a vulnerable woman.

Mohammed Habibullah of St George’s Road, Dudley, had denied sexually assaulting the woman but he was convicted by a jury at Wolverhampton Crown Court….

Simon Burch, defending, said Habibullah who had a number of medical problems including heart troubles and arthritis had worked extremely hard for the Muslim community.

Judge Amjad Nawaz told him: “You have not only let yourself down but you have let your community down.”

He stressed it was an extremely serious offence and said: “You gave evidence saying you simply would not have done what you did because it was Ramadan and you would not have had those thoughts.”

The actions of Habibullah, said the judge, had serious consequences for his victim who had been left “psychologically damaged”.

He added that before the offence it was clear Habibullah had been a man of “positive good character” who had given more than 25 years service to the Muslim community as an Imam but he had behaved inappropriately when he had been alone with his victim in a room.

Habibullah was given a six month jail term suspended for 18 months, placed on supervision for 18 months and told he must register as a sex offender for the next seven years.

    Where are the Law Suits against the Muslim religion as was done against the Catholic Church ?

    • Carolyne says

      Jul 9, 2016 at 10:47 am

      I’m not sure British law permits lawsuits against people who have assaulted you as we do here in the US. If such lawsuits were permitted, the courts would be clogged for years.

      The judge is a Muslim. I am surprised it wasn’t just thrown out of court. Disgraceful abuse of the legal system. No doubt legal representation was provided at taxpayer expense.

      • Kakodaemon says

        Jul 8, 2016 at 7:01 pm

        I think perhaps our Muslim judge is adjudicating with a Sharia perspective. Next, the woman will be brought up on charges for being without her male guardian and allowing herself to be molested

        .

        • Angry Aussie says

          Jul 8, 2016 at 10:35 pm

          Half Sharia judge perhaps, otherwise the woman would get 80 lashes for being a promiscuous whore.

    There is a right to appeal this sentence and get the judge criticised in the process so do it people.

    I wonder how ” Judge” Amjad Nawaz is going to explain passing this derisory sentence, on imam Habibullah, to all the headbangers down at his local mosque ????

    After all, the Muslim pervert that sexually assaulted that woman was just a good Muslim practicing Islam and thereby modelling himself on Mad Mohammed of Mecca—-the most perfect pervert that has ever lived.

  6. mortimer says

    The UK’s anti-rape organizations need to demand the public prosecutor appeal this decision and get the mullah in jail.

    It is well known that Muslims in authority give special treatment to other muslims ( when muslims are a minority, like in the west). A muslim colleague just told me he got a good free upgrade from a car rental company as the muslim manager wished him eid mubarak.

    I don’t blame the Muslims but I strongly blame the system that allows them to get away with it and the people who created such a biased and corrupt system.

    Just consider what would have happened if a muslim woman, not man, was convicted of a similar crime. The Arabs have a say “a man is only shamed if his pockets were empty“, this incident proves such a twisted logic.

  8. Thomas says

    Jul 8, 2016 at 1:23 pm

    This short article failed to provide details.

    Did this criminal loose his job?
    What is the religion of the victim?
    Was this really his first sexual assault?
    Why did this criminal escape jail when he has failed to accept his guilt? (This failure should have resulted in a very harsh sentence.

  9. Voytek Gagalka says

    Jul 8, 2016 at 1:58 pm

    There should be the law prohibiting unshaved man from serving as a judge. That gives him grave bias against all properly shaved guys (mostly Kafirs). How can he even pretend to be impartial? You can call it as much you like, Islamophobia or Beard-phobia, I don’t care. I have nothing against beards of private persons (some beards are quite cute in certain situations), but beards for judges shall be banned!

  10. WillG says

    A Muslim judge, but a British lawyer – typical of a country obsessed with diversity, political correctness and the only country in Europe still clinging to fantasies of multiculturalism. While the once so liberal Swedes are burning down planned ” refugee” centres, the Sudanese who walked through the Channel Tunnel is spared a prison sentence by British judges, and granted asylum by the British government even though he has no claim whatsoever. But, then again, he is black African AND Muslim – so jackpot for the PC brigade who fought to keep him here. It was also a BRITISH lawyer who defended the French Muslima who took France to the European courts over the banning of the veil (which the much maligned court upheld in France’s favour). Britain is the spiritual home of the Third World, afraid of its own shadow, so terrified of causing offence that no criticism of blacks or Muslims is allowed. It will pay a heavy price. Leaving the EU is a dangerous distraction from this reality.

    The rapist had “positive good character” prior to the rape? Unlikely – he probably just hadn’t been caught before.

  16. David, Thailand says

    Jul 9, 2016 at 1:06 am

    Nothing to do with Islam, and surely nobody would suggest the judge has arbitrarily transformed his court into Sharia compliance.

    Anti- Muslim hate group Tell Mamma have reported a huge spike in reported hate crimes since Bexit. The following report by a young Muslimah i found particularly harrowing..“When we got off our bus and into Leeds bus station, another woman passed us and as she did so, she looked me in the eye and called me stupid with much scorn in her face. My lad was very confused by this. He tried asking me questions and talking about it, but he is 3 years old, he’s expressive skills are a little lacking.
    On our final bus home, he had a huge tantrum. The likes of which he’s never had before, with screaming and crying and kicking and trying to bite me. After he calmed down he said sorry and that he didn’t know why he’d done that and he was scared of getting into trouble. He’s a good boy, Mashallah, and I understood that he’s built up emotions from the days dramas had exploded out of him in that instance. I then showed him that not all people are mean, as he apologised to the people on the bus, they were all smiling at him and thankful for his apologies, one even praised me on my parenting, which worked some way towards relaxing him. He didn’t sleep well that night, but he’s fine now.
    I’m reporting this, not for attention or to cause trouble, but in the hopes that by making a report, it might go some small way towards improving the standards of education in the Yorkshire area (and the whole of the UK insha’Allah). I do not dislike these people who have upset my son, rather I feel for them as their education in their youth has likely not worked to help their understanding of diversity. Even these days, diversity studies are normally focused on the younger generations. Heck, even my education in secondary school of Islam was bias (and I’m 27), so I can fully understand some people’s prejudices.
    I am used to people giving me abuse because of my faith and how I dress, even my colour to some extent, (I’m white British), but my children don’t deserve that. It’s left me feeling unsure about taking them out again. We’ll certainly not be going far from home anytime soon.
    I hope that by sharing experiences, good might occur. Insha’Allah.”

      ‘Tell Mama’ have reported loads of ‘cases’ which have turned out to be totally untrue. They make them up as they go along! I don’t believe a word of it!!

      • Carolyne says

        Jul 9, 2016 at 10:57 am

        I see nothing wrong with calling this Muslima “Stupid.” She is stupid. Call it like it is. Anyone who thinks a “God” wants them to cover up their hair is stupid. Any woman who walks around in a black bag is stupid. Any woman who professes to be a Muslim is stupid. That stupid child likely has tantrums every day. He is not old enough and he is too stupid to understand the concept of stupid.

    • Western Canadian says

      Jul 9, 2016 at 5:33 pm

      Fro what I have seen of muslim parenting skills, that is likely common behavior for a male muslim child.

    Judge Amjad Nawaz told him: “You have not only let yourself down but you have let your community down.”
    Was he referring to a delinquent member of the balloon community, responsible for deflating not only himself but others too?
    No, this guy is a sex offender who should now be doing jail time.

  19. Lioness says

    Jul 9, 2016 at 12:45 pm

    Like jihad, rape is a service to the muslim community, so for sure a muslim judge will not convict a muslim rapist. The perp is a hero in his community and young boys look up to him.

  20. solange silverman says

    Jul 9, 2016 at 5:29 pm

    Um, sorry, but priests are always getting away with sexual assault. They are just shuffled around to countries without extradition agreements. They church always hides and protects them.

    • Western Canadian says

      Jul 9, 2016 at 6:58 pm

      Actually, there was a fair bit of house cleaning, and WTF are you trying a pathetic effort at moral equivalency for? The regulars here ate not even close to being stupid enough to take drivel like that seriously.

    • b.a. freeman says

      Jul 10, 2016 at 12:52 am

      in fairness, Western Canadian, many of us used to be that ignorant, too. solange silverman is using the classic fallacious argument that the violence of the believer shows the evil of the belief system, without ever examining the belief system. of course, this argument may actually be stupid, not ignorant, but i like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

    • Jay Boo says

      Jul 10, 2016 at 6:46 am

      Using solange’s logic

      Why are MUSLIMS not sued for promoting rape.
      Imams preach from Islam’s filth.
      Islam’s QUR’AN encourages rape.

  21. SuchindranathAiyerS says

    This reminds me:
    In Ramzan 2014, a Gang of Moslems led by the son of a Moslem BSP politican kidnapped a girl and her boy friend in Spencer Road, Frazer Town (Pulakeshi Nagar), Bangalore and gang raped the girl while forcing the boy to watch. The girl was from a brave and emancipated family and went with her boy friend to lodge a Police Complaint. The Moslem Circle Inspector refused to file an FIR. They escalated it to the Moslem Assistant Commissioner of Police who refused to intervene in the matter. The Tipu Sultan (Secular Khangress) Home Minister and Chief Minister tried to hush it up. However the Boy Friend was also secular (Christian) and the girl influential (Coorgi) and the media took it up and an FIR was lodged and the case investigated. The case yielded Mobile Phones with a large number of Gang Rape videos. Before the matter was further exposed a series of rapes of infant school girls by Moslem men began to grab the Bangalore head lines relegating this episode to the back ground. (Deliberate distraction like Iraq as red herring for Pakistan and Saudi Arabia or Ukraine for Islam?) The Aurangzeb Judiciary have enlarged the rapists on bail with unusual alacrity.

    Jul 11, 2016 at 8:54 am

    Al wala wa al baraa. Loyalty (to fellow Muslims only) and enmity (toward all kuffar qua kuffar).

    This case illustrates *exactly* why Muslim immigration is so dangerous; because Muslims infiltrate into the judiciary, the police, the military, the civil service, and government and *whenever* they do, they will use their position to benefit fellow Muslims and to ‘do down’ the kuffar.

    If they are in the law, then if a case comes up where a Muslim has wronged a non-Muslim, the Muslim judge will side with the Muslim criminal. He might not be able to do it blatantly, if there are still enough non-Muslims around him within the system, but he will ‘push the envelope’ as far as he thinks he can get away with.

    Ditto if the Muslim is a cop (on the ground), a detective or a police commissioner…he will use his position to benefit fellow Muslims and harm the despised Kuffar. I wouldn’t put it past a Muslim cop, or a muslim investigating detective, to falsify or destroy evidence, in order to protect a Muslim criminal who was preying on non-Muslims, or in order to cause harm to an – innocent – non-Muslim. Do you want to be pulled over for a traffic offence, by a Muslim cop, if you’re a Christian wearing a cross or a Jew wearing a Star of David? You just might find yourself being fined for an infraction you didn’t even commit.

    Got Muslims? Got Jihad.

    The only way to sidestep all of this wretchedness, this destruction-from-within, is to not have Muslims inside the gates… and to keep them *outside* the gates by vigorous maintenance of the boundaries.

  26. Lou says

    Jul 12, 2016 at 8:27 am

    Why do leaders of countries let muslims in? Has Satan got the leaders by the balls somehow? To be part of Satan’s New World Order … meaning, to cause so much civil unrest in countries that we won’t resist micro-chipping so that terrorists etc can be tracked (along with everyone else) in the name of “security”. And anyone who speaks against evil will be recognised and “dealt with”. The prophecies of The Bible are coming true. We must prepare our souls and stand for Jesus Christ whatever it takes against this invading evil (and those who willingly lead us to this fate).

    Not one Catholic priest has ever been convicted, or Jailed over the mass abuse of children in their care in Ireland and the UK.
    So this is not the first time a man of God has been protected by the Law !
