A callous disregard for human life. Harleen Grewal is a Sikh name. In Islamic law, Muslim lives are explicitly worth more than those of non-Muslims. The Shafi’i Sharia manual Reliance of the Traveller dictates: “The indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man. The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is one-third the indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity paid for a Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth that of a Muslim.” (o4.9) Sikhs rank even lower, as they are not People of the Book.
The Shafi’i madhhab is not the only school of Islamic law that teaches this. The Iranian Shi’ite Sufi Sheikh Sultanhussein Tabandeh explains: “Thus if [a] Muslim commits adultery his punishment is 100 lashes, the shaving of his head, and one year of banishment. But if the man is not a Muslim and commits adultery with a Muslim woman his penalty is execution…Similarly if a Muslim deliberately murders another Muslim he falls under the law of retaliation and must by law be put to death by the next of kin. But if a non-Muslim who dies at the hand of a Muslim has by lifelong habit been a non-Muslim, the penalty of death is not valid. Instead the Muslim murderer must pay a fine and be punished with the lash….Since Islam regards non-Muslims as on a lower level of belief and conviction, if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim…then his punishment must not be the retaliatory death, since the faith and conviction he possesses is loftier than that of the man slain…Again, the penalties of a non-Muslim guilty of fornication with a Muslim woman are augmented because, in addition to the crime against morality, social duty and religion, he has committed sacrilege, in that he has disgraced a Muslim and thereby cast scorn upon the Muslims in general, and so must be executed….Islam and its peoples must be above the infidels, and never permit non-Muslims to acquire lordship over them.” — Sultanhussein Tabandeh, A Muslim Commentary on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
This kind of teaching inculcates attitudes. Did Saeed Ahmad leave Harleen Grewal to die because she was just a Sikh and just a woman, two groups he had been taught to despise as inferior?
“SEE IT: Driver hails cab as he abandons doomed passenger in blazing car on Brooklyn highway,” by Esha Ray, Dale W. Eisinger, and Larry McShane, New York Daily News, October 14, 2017 (thanks to John):
A Brooklyn man, his gal pal trapped inside the flaming wreckage of his nearby car, climbed coolly into a passing taxi as the helpless woman was left to die.
A chilling cellphone video obtained by WABC-TV News caught callous Saeed Ahmad hailing the yellow cab early Friday after escaping the roaring flames that killed passenger Harleen Grewal.
“Can I get a ride?” the manslaughter suspect asked casually as the raging fire from his luxury Infiniti 35G illuminated the 4 a.m. sky above the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
Stunned investigators found Grewal’s charred body in the passenger seat once the flames were extinguished.
“It’s unconscionable. How could you?” asked an outraged Van Christakos, 69, a Queens neighbor of the dead woman’s family. “Dial 911. Stay there! His actions are unconscionable. She was a sweetheart.”
The 25-year-old Grewal’s devastated family was sent reeling a second time by the release of the video one day after her death.
“I don’t even know what happened!” screamed her mother, Raj Grewal, outside their Astoria home. “That’s my child! She was an angel. She is an angel.”
Ahmad told police that he was dating Grewal, but friends said he was just an acquaintance who gave her a ride home.
Grewal’s boyfriend, Karan Singh Dhillon, was wracked with grief over her death.
“My baby didn’t deserve to go like this,” Dhillon wrote on Facebook. “The real good ones go away too quick.”
In an interview with the Daily News, Dhillon described Grewal as a selfless soul who always looked out for others.
“She would do anything for people,” he said. “She would give someone the clothes off her back. She would give someone food and go hungry.”

Ahmad, 23, directed the cabbie to Maimonides Medical Center as he ignored the woman trapped inside the burning vehicle only a few yards away and fled the scene, the video showed.
The suspect, still hospitalized Saturday with burns, was charged with manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, leaving the scene of a fatal accident, speeding and driving with a suspended license.
The suspect’s arraignment was pending as doctors treated him for burns on the neck, arms and legs. Ahmad’s brother pointed to the injuries as proof that Saeed tried to assist the victim.
“After trying to help her get out of the cars, his arms were burned, his neck was burned,” said Waheed Ahmad, 21. “You see a person die in front of you and you are in unimaginable pain, imagine what you would do.”
The video “is just causing us more pain,” Waheed said….

That poor girl. I am no longer surprised or shocked at the behaviour of this muslim scum. They clearly and repeatedly demonstrate that they have no regard for human life, none whatsoever. Nothing but a bunch of self aggrandizing fascist scum. My heart goes out to this poor family.
Eagle says
He is a coward and does what a coward does. A practicing Muslim is unfit to be an American citizen. A good practicing Muslim knows the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and the Republic. All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life’s guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government and no other. The freedom of speech should allow the truth to come out as an education for the American people to see and hopefully understand the Muslim threat to the American people and the American core beliefs. The Muslim agenda is to push the Sharia Law on the American people and make demands that allow only the Muslims to be above the American law. This is part of the Muslim creed. Keep America pure and free from the control of the Muslim Sharia Law. Preserve the Judaeo-Christian core beliefs the constitution was founded on.
Emilie Green says
“The [Muslim] suspect, still hospitalized Saturday with burns, was charged with manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, leaving the scene of a fatal accident, speeding and driving with a suspended license.”
Those are all laws of the infidel. They mean nothing to me, a Muslim. Only the Shariah matters.”
Jaladhi says
I am so sorry to hear the loss of this young life and all because of this scum bag who had no concern to save her. But the question arises why this young Sikh girl was in this Muslim’s car – didn’t her family warn her about Muslims! Stay away from Muslims as far as possible, there never is any good outcome of such association!

She was an acquaintance. It is unclear exactly what their relationship was.

Sikhs are great people get some more but they do defend themselves I think this will not end here.
Jim says
I think you are right.
Linde Barrera says
My deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Ms. Harleen Grewal. May she rest in peace with Jesus. + May justice be served.
Shmooviyet says
His clothes don’t appear scorched, and he isn’t really ‘stumbling’ toward that taxi. That video doesn’t seem the best proof of his attempts…
Yes burns cause horrific pain– but the brother wants all to know how HIS family are suffering, and that the video is worsening their ‘pain’ !?! Meanwhile the girl’s family and boyfriend can’t kiss her cheek goodbye.
“Imagine what you would do”– this whole story is just sickening.
RichardL says
Ahmed comes from a rich family and is probably not religious in the strict sense of the word but will have internalised islamic values.
The first thing that came to my mind when I saw his picture on fox a few days ago was this looks like a muslim and he has no sense of responsibility as is typical. There is no responsibility for other people in islam, only to their allah god. So he causes a catastrophic accident and does not for a second feel any responsibility for those affected by his action. His concern is only for the very minor injuries.
I have lived in a muslim country for four years and have seen this type of behaviour every day. Humans don’t count for much in islam, non-muslims count for nothing.

Thanks, I took your good assessment and built off it for my own comment.

It is not the case that no rich Muslims take Islam seriously.

Muslim driver hails cab as he abandons passenger in blazing car on highway
At first I was shocked that this muslim man could be so cruel. I wanted to believe this was an aberration and that most muslims could never be this heartless. But then I considered the multifaceted displays of cruelty I’ve seen muslims do, everything from animal cruelty to mass murder for bigotry; and the callous indifference most muslims have for our way of life and our women and children their men are mass raping; and the violent temper tantrums by muslims who kill and rampage for the silliest reasons; and the islamic governments that brutalize their own people and foreigners with human rights abuses for barbaric sharia; and the women who suffer terribly in islam’s culture of misogynist hate; and the innumerable ways muslims try to infiltrate and tear down our society for islam’s bigoted teachings; and the vile importations they bring like “honor” killings, FGM, and acid in the face… and that’s when I realize I’m wrong in being shocked by this. This is islam, this is what they do. There’s no high moral standard for muslims to aspire to, their most valued morality is taught by a demon god and a murderous warlord who practiced child abuse. Thank goodness most muslims don’t live the dictates of their god and religion fully, things would be even worse. But that still leaves millions of muslims who want to dominate us with sharia and believe we should be punished unto death because we object to their sick and tyrannical “religion.” These “peaceful” muslims want to rob us of our freedoms and enslave our hearts and minds for their demon and the fake prophet that invented him. So no, all things considered, this muslim’s heartless indifference for a burning woman doesn’t surprise me too much, though it does anger and sadden me. Mainly because I know it represents so well what islam is about with its cruel indifference for the rights and feelings of others. Don’t accuse me of a hasty generalization here. Better to see it as a “best example” of what we can expect from islam and the muslims who live it.
Japetto Donatelli says
We can’t let this woman and the other victims of muslim’s bigoted cruelty die in vain. We need more people to care about the insanity that islam teaches and the bad effects it has on humanity’s well being. There’s no way a politician or religious leader could be truly for peace and good morals while also defending or ignoring islam. Trudeau just popped into my head, one of many. Such people are cowards and typically call people like me a racist bigot. But I’m not a bigot, I’m a lover of humanity. And I’m against anything that kills or hates for ignorant and bigoted reasons. No pompous lefty is ever going to make me feel guilty for that.
Lynette says
I completely agree with everything you say, it is a very well thought out piece you have written and I congratulate you on this. I hope all the readers read this, and see what and how muslims are taught from the cradle to the grave, to think this is how they believe this is the right way to behave. Islam is a very sick, depraved sadistic ideology and the sooner it comes to an end the world will be much better off.
Japetto Donatelli says
Thanks Lynette, reading your comment has got me off to a good start this Thursday. I’m glad you agree, it’s always a comfort to meet someone who understands the threat and is concerned about it. I feel bad for Europe, it may be too late for them. But it’s not too late for us. We’ll keep fighting, America is worth it.
Charles says
I hope no one is “Surprised”!
What he did is very “Islamic”!

This was a muslim who really liked his own life, and he did not want the 72 virgins yet. [sarc]
Cold blooded. From people like that you can not expect any compassion. They are almost not human
, and may be they are not, but I know they belong to the human race.
But when they behead or stone people, there is only the conquer/ego expression on their faces, there is no compassion on their faces, so leftists, you know what is waiting for you.
gfmucci says
“Authorities just don’t understand how anyone can do this.” They don’t understand Islam. Authorities CONTINUE to view Muslim behavior as if they have a tinge of Christian morality. They don’t. They are entirely different animals. And not in a good way.

Mohammed teaching is working ! After killing people just simply leave the crime scene with a cab.
Hector Archytas says
There is no case yet against him yet. He might genuily help her to escape but the door might have been blocked and got no extinguisher. When you see the car on the video, you see it is already too late.
I know many muslim (not mohamedan) trying to do good deed.
gravenimage says
This is not about whether he would have been able to save her or not–this is about caring enough *to try*.
I’m not talking about him putting himself in danger, either–if he had just flagged down the cabbie and asked him to call 911 to help her, that would have been a caring gesture.
Tom Davis says
Even if your suppositions are true, he was still seen driving at an excessively high speed and recklessly weaving through the traffic. Just on that alone vehicular manslaughter charges are justified.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Muslim = Mohammadan
If one does not have an attachment to Mohammad then one is not a “Muslim”, period.
