“Mr Power also told the court Ali was having problems properly observing Islam behind bars and had been teased during his prayers. He had been assaulted in jail.”
Teased during prayers! The poor lamb! By all means, release him, and give him a new supply of machetes!
“Judge waits to jail Muslim refugee who tried to kill his ex-girlfriend with a machete – after concerns he won’t be able to observe Ramadan, eat halal food and may be TAUNTED while praying,” by Stephen Gibbs, Daily Mail Australia, August 29, 2017:
A judge has asked for more detail about the conditions faced by Muslim inmates in Queensland jails after hearing a refugee who tried to kill his ex-partner was having trouble observing Ramadan.
Muhumed Samow Ali appeared in the Supreme Court in Brisbane today after being convicted of trying to kill his former girlfriend with a machete at Wacol, in Brisbane’s south-west, on September 10, 2015.
He was sentenced to 10 years’ jail for attempted murder, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, assault and going armed as to cause fear.
The Somalian refugee, then 52, drove his car head-on into his 45-year-old ex-partner’s vehicle near a train station then struck her seven times in the head and back with a machete as she tried to escape. She suffered a fractured skull.
Ali’s lawyer, Ben Power, told the court his client suffers from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder due to his experiences in his native Somalia.
Mr Power also told the court Ali was having problems properly observing Islam behind bars and had been teased during his prayers. He had been assaulted in jail.
‘The situation is there are also very few Muslims in jail,’ Mr Power said, according to The Courier-Mail.
‘He has real problems with the food in the jail … Ramadan is very difficult because they don’t make allowances for fasting so he has to store up his food in order to eat it after dusk or dawn in order to observe Ramadan.’
‘He says he is often taunted during his required prayers.’
Ali, who denied trying to kill his ex-partner, also had concerns about the halal status of some prison food.
Justice Roslyn Atkinson had said she wanted more information on the conditions for Muslim prisoners before she sentenced Ali, according to the newspaper.
‘Obviously he has the right and he should have the expectation of being able to practise his religion and all that that involves without any difficulty … including any fasting requirements,’ Justice Atkinson said.
‘And I would be surprised that he is not allowed to do that.’
Justice Atkinson also said English lessons would help Ali not feel ‘so isolated’. Such lessons were not available….

He’ll have no problem fasting in dysfunctional Somalia. Most people fast there all the time.
john spielman says
yes and PERMANENTLY!
Annie Mac says
Agree!
mortimer says
What is the conclusion here? This man was teased during prayers and so OBVIOUSLY he had no choice but to KILL people… after all he’s a Muslim AND a member of a designated, official victim group.
This is nothing more than the RACISM and DISCRIMINATION OF LOW EXPECTATIONS presuming low moral character in a designated victim group.
This crafty, propagandistic form of racism combined with post-colonial guilt doesn’t work because people are now aware of it.
Leftards completely deny that Islam has a doctrine of HATRED against disbelievers and another doctrine of warfare against the disbelievers based on religious bigotry alone.
John Forbes says
Linda Scott will support metal illness claims without question !! ALL other explanations such as the HATE TEACHINGS of ISLAM will be derided as hate preaching & be ignored unless pressed and if the TEACHINGS are mentioned the RACE CARD will be immediately issued along with the POLITICAL CORRECTNESS RANTS !
ISLAMAPHOBIA chants will be next with the VICTIM card !
This should get this POOR FELLOW either an earlier release or a move to an open Jail !!
mgoldberg says
Jail the judge with him. He will get to see up close what an idiot mean…
Grendel's mother says
The judge is female. Justice Atkinson was also concerned for poor Ali not having access to English, in addition to non-halal food in prison and teasing by other imates. Empathy for Ali’s victim who amazingly survived the brutal machete attack……..? Uh, not so much.
Grendel's mother says
Should have typed “access to English lessons.”
Anne Smith says
Suppose she is another stupid “feminazi” who empathise so happily with the Muslims.
gravenimage says
There are a lot of stupid male judges, as well.
t. says
You mean “she”; the judge is a woman!
John A. Marre says
Special privileges for Muslims. Would they delay a sentence during Lent for a Catholic? No, because politicians are bowing down before their new masters, Muslims.

What a gentle soul
Eva says
Makes me wonder….Was this female judge a Muslim or plain, ordinary idiot? What do you think?
gravenimage says
Given her name, I’d say she’s a Western dhimmi idiot.
FYI says
“he was teased during prayers”
Psst..you wanna list of God’s Commandments.I’ve underlined the Sixth one especially for you muslims..
gravenimage says
Of course, the Sixth Commandment is un-Islamic…
Jim Conch says
Is this a joke? Can anyone be so stupid, but then maybe it was a muslim judge. Then, to follow up, what do they do, let him out every year for Ramadan? Hmmmmm…..
Mike says
Get the f@&# outa here! Really?
Frank J. Verderber says
This whole business with Islam is just a ruse by the Globalists to undermine the common western values based upon Christianity and Judaism. Once the liberal useful idiots are not needed the Oligarchs will dispense with them and with the lunatic Muslims, Antifa, the gays, lesbians and trans oddities. Hitler did this with the Brown Shirts, who were primarily gay men looking to secure some respect in German society. What amazes me are the hordes of emotional wannabes and the total surrender of their ability to reason. I would rather spend time with a family of Appalachian mountain goobers than with liberals, because the intelligence quota substantially higher in the hills of West Virginia than in Washington DC or Portland, or LA, or NYC etc – etc – etc
