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

UK: Muslim described as “peace-loving man who abhorred violence” stabs wife 21 times, shows no remorse

Mar 5, 2018 9:44 am By Robert Spencer

It’s noteworthy how often these stories follow the same pattern. Muzzammil Hassan, the Buffalo, New York moderate Muslim leader who beheaded his wife, claimed she beat him, and he was just defending himself. And in this case, Turkan Lowmani “claimed that his wife had grabbed the knife first and he had taken it from her before a struggle ensued.” For Islamic supremacists, it’s always the other person’s fault, no matter what the circumstances.

Meanwhile, Tahir Khan QC says that Turkan Lowmani’s victimized, brutalized wife wants him back: “Lutfia Lowmani has no hostility towards the defendant for what happened. Lutfia does not want to face life without Turkan. They were a very close and loving couple. She is of course finding life difficult, but she wants him back.”

What this really means is that she faces ostracism and worse from the Muslim community, because of the suspicion of adultery that he claims led him to stab her, and because these court proceedings mean that she has not been a dutiful and obedient wife, taking whatever she gets.

Khan also said that Lowmani is a “peace-loving man who abhorred violence” and a “doting father to three children.”

That may be, actually. But Lowmani was raised in a culture of violence that calls for the beating of disobedient women. The Qur’an says: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” (Qur’an 4:34)

And in a hadith, Aisha, Muhammad’s child bride, says that Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?” (Sahih Muslim 2127)

So as he was led away, Lowmani shouted: “This is not right, this is not acceptable. I am not that kind of person.”

He likely meant that he is not some violent thug. He was just doing as Islam commands. He behaved perfectly reasonably, and should not be punished for it. And it is likely that in many Muslim countries, he would not be punished for this.

“JAILED: Husband gets 19 years for trying to kill ‘defenceless’ wife in ‘shockingly violent’ knife attack,” by Rob Lowson, Telegraph & Argus, February 26, 2018:

A “DOTING” father and husband who stabbed his “defenceless” wife 21 times in a frenzied attack has been jailed for 19 years.

Turkan Lowmani, 33, attacked Lutfia Lowmani at their home in Idle Road, Bradford, after wrongly believing she was having an affair with another family member.

Prosecutor Michael Smith told Bradford Crown Court that the “catalyst for the violence” was Lowmani getting in from work on August 3 last year to find his wife on the phone to another man.

In the assault that followed, which took place while the couple’s three children were in the house, Lowmani used a kitchen knife to stab his victim in the neck, abdomen, back, arms, and legs.

Neighbours had heard her crying “no, no, no” before she collapsed outside the house in a “bloody heap.”

Instead of helping his wife of ten years, Lowmani fled the scene and tried to dispose a piece of his blood-stained clothing in a park.

Lowmani had denied a charge of attempted murder, but was found guilty following a trial in January.

He had claimed that his wife had grabbed the knife first and he had taken it from her before a struggle ensued.

Mr Smith told the court: “This was a spontaneous attempt to kill, arising out of an argument over actual or perceived infidelity on the night of the offence.

“Perhaps the most significant aggravating feature was the presence of the children in the house at the time.

“All the children must have been exposed to the violence in some way. If neighbours heard what was going on, they must have too.”

Tahir Khan QC, mitigating, said Lowmani’s was an “unusual” case given that the victim had actually spoken on behalf of her husband as a defence witness.

He said: “Lutfia Lowmani has no hostility towards the defendant for what happened. Lutfia does not want to face life without Turkan.

“They were a very close and loving couple. She is of course finding life difficult, but she wants him back.”

Mr Khan described Lowmani, who had no previous convictions, as a “peace-loving man who abhorred violence”, adding he was a “doting father to three children.”

He said: “The incident was not pre-meditated [sic]. He acted out of anger and did things he would never have done.”…

One of the stab wounds hit her jugular vein, with others puncturing her lung, cutting her diaphragm, and piercing a vein in her leg, leaving her with “permanent” scarring.

Judge Davey told Lowmani: “This was a determined and sustained attempt to kill a defenceless mother of three young children which very nearly succeeded. “You have not shown a scrap of remorse for what you did.”

As the judge spoke, Lowmani sat in the dock with his head in his hands and said at one point: “This is all wrong, wrong.”

As he was being handcuffed and led away to the cells, he shouted: “This is not right, this is not acceptable. I am not that kind of person.”…

    The nerve of this guy claiming self-defense when it is common knowledge that 20 stabbings is the upper limit when defending yourself!

      Remember, it is not the religion of ‘peace.’ It is the religion of ‘pieces.’
      The pieces lay everywhere after they strike and carry out their koranic mandates.

    “I am not that kind of person!” ie – “I may have attempted to murder my wife, but it doesn’t count as attempted murder when I do it…” – an absolutely perfect example of Mohammedan double-think.

    But , wait! – maybe after all, Lowhani’s new-found desire to kill the mother of his three children, really does spring from one of these famous “religious misunderstandings” ?

    Not having Latin as his first tongue, perhaps he simply mistook “Stab-at Mater” for an instruction ….?

      The article says that they are a “loving couple”. Love is so twisted in Islam.

      • TheBuffster says

        Mar 6, 2018 at 7:57 am

        Yes, they were such a loving couple. A couple so loving that the husband suspected his wife of infidelity for merely talking to another man on the phone.

        I don’t know about other people, but I don’t love someone that I don’t trust.

    Hey, in Islam killing someone provides “peace” to Muslims!! These people are biggest criminals on the face of earth masquerading as “peaceful” people. How easily the West is being fooled by them! The West is gullible and Muslims are deceitful! Perfect combination to fool the West!

      Mar 6, 2018 at 6:30 am

      Yes John, but something went wrong. In a way, she still loves him. I wonder what sort of way that is. They are both clearly insane. She has been totally brainwashed by Islam, and of course so has he. His violence is fully justified, and he is convinced has has done nothing that the prophet wouldn’t have done.

      This is wonderful publicity for Islam. We need more stories like this( Sorry for the female victims; collateral damage)

      • Jenny H says

        Mar 6, 2018 at 8:48 am

        They seem to be a good match for each other, if she thinks he’s fine even after he did that to her. They both seem to be products of the same brainwashing.

    In his culture, a woman is property of the man. He can do with her as he wishes. Anyone who proposes importing people with that culture has to be aware of that and decide if there is any benefit to this country from people who beat, slash and kill their wives and think it’s perfectly all right.

        You’re right, Michael. Islam brings absolutely NOTHING of value to the West. It is pure, undiluted poison that we have allowed to flow into our societies.

    “He said: “The incident was not pre-meditated [sic]. He acted out of anger and did things he would never have done.”…”

    Never have done…until he was irrationally jealous (over a family member?!) and angry, then he did do those things.

    ” Lowmani sat in the dock with his head in his hands and said at one point: “This is all wrong, wrong.”
    As he was being handcuffed and led away to the cells, he shouted: “This is not right, this is not acceptable. I am not that kind of person.”…”

    “Stabbed in the neck”? “Stabbed”? With a knife?

    What on earth are you doing stabbing someone in a “close and loving” relationship with you? Why couldn’t he simply give her a chance to explain herself, or yell at the man she was calling?

    Why did he try to execute her?

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 5, 2018 at 9:53 pm

      Because he is a pious Muslim.

      • David says

        Mar 6, 2018 at 6:35 am

        You know, I think he went against Sharia, by not giving her a warning first, then kicking her out of the marital bed, then finally ‘beating’ her with a handy knife.

        Maybe we should stop selling knives to muslims?

        • TheBuffster says

          Mar 6, 2018 at 8:04 am

          Well, that’s true, David. I do believe he was supposed to warn her, kick her out of bed, and finally beat her if he feared “disobedience” from her, which I assume includes fearing infidelity. I’m pretty sure he violated Sharia on this one.

        • TheBuffster says

          Mar 6, 2018 at 8:16 am

          As I recall, in order for an adulterer to be killed it is necessary for there to be four witnesses to the adultery. Or is that only for alleged rape? (And what counts as a witness, I don’t know.) But if you merely suspect or “fear” that your wife is fooling around with someone else, the warning, banishing from bed, and finally beating is the rule.

  13. Indiana Tom says

      “And it is likely that in many Muslim countries, he would not be punished for this.”

    The behaviour obviously stems from their B.S -belief system.
    When you analyse the contents of the Quran (I’ve read it cover to cover) one realises that it is in many parts a duplication or an attempt to improve on the Old and New Testaments.

    Ther is a plan and purpose for its Holy Writings, with the ultimate goal of redemption for mankind with God in flesh as human sacrifice by the Sacrificer Who is also God. Yeah, this is the greatest mystery.

    On the contrary the Quran alludes and adapts only the violence of the Old Testament and contradicts itself over many times.

    The author of the Quran is an angel but the Author of The Holy Bible is God Himself.

    One cannot criticise or explain either Books, the Quran or the Holy Bible unless one reads and is truthful in accepting Truth and Lies.

    • R Russell says

      I suspect you may be referring to those and their descendants in Canaan when the Israelites were told to kill them all. These were those who were nephilim by blood, hybrid beings, hybrid animals, never meant to be so their ,destruction was how to deal with them. They had cone shaped heads, 6 fingers and toes – not a genetic copying error, but in their DNA. They had 2 rows of teeth, various sizes from 12 – 36 feet. Look at pics of Egyptians – cone heads. Not cradle boarding, but different skull bones. See the Paracas skulls from Peru.
      Mohammed decided to kill all non Muslims. The Israelites only killed the hybrids.

    It’s likely that his male relatives will try to finish what he started with the woman – for bringing ‘dishonour’ on the family.
