Road rage? Maybe. But maybe this kind of thing was also in Shahid Ali’s mind: last June, the Islamic State published a poster depicting an SUV driving over a heap of skulls and bearing the legend “Run Over Them Without Mercy.”
And the Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:
So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….
Maybe Shahid Ali was just angry, but the way he reacted to his anger may have been influenced by a frame of reference that already included the use of a car as a weapon.
“Driver jailed for 12 years for running over pedestrian’s head in road rage attack because he thought he was holding up traffic had terror conviction,” by Ed Riley, Mailonline, April 19, 2018 (thanks to R.):
A driver jailed for deliberately running over a pedestrian he thought was holding up traffic has previously been convicted of terror offences.
Shahid Ali sped off after driving over Patrick Colbert’s head and his body in his Mercedes in Balsall Heath, Birmingham.
The 43-year-old, who dumped his car after the incident on July 11 last year, was acquitted of attempting to murder Mr Colbert but was convicted of causing him grievous bodily harm with intent.
But it has now emerged Ali, of Washwood Heath, Birmingham, had a previous conviction for assisting in acts of terrorism.
He was jailed for 27 months in 2009 for his involvement in sending four loads of equipment between 2004 and 2006 to Pakistan to be used against British forces and their allies fighting in Afghanistan.
He had previously admitted causing serious injury by dangerous driving at Birmingham Crown Court.
Ali was told by Judge Paul Farrer QC: ‘You have been convicted of a very serious offence by the jury, one which will inevitably carry many years of imprisonment.’
In sentencing Ali to 12 years in jail, he said; ‘You were angry and I have no doubt that you shouted and swore at Mr Colbert, in effect telling him to get out of the road.’
He said the victim had suffered a severe traumatic brain injury with hemorrhaging over his brain and that the effects on him had been ‘profound and continuing.’
And he went on ‘This offence involved the deliberate use of a car as a weapon.’
It was also an aggravating feature, he said, that afterwards he had tried to remove and obscure evidence by wiping his vehicle….
Ali then deliberately turned hard right knocking the pedestrian over and causing him to hit his head on the ground.
But he didn’t stop and continued to drive over him slowly passing over the victim’s groin, chest and head….

12 years isn’t enough.

1) Birmingham – why am I not surprised? 2) A Pakistani Muslim – ditto !

This man’s name is Shahid Ali … “shahid” means an Islamic martyr … someone who dies while slaying the enemies of Islam.
Save Europe says
Yeah Mortimer. I was being totally sarcastic. I know already.

My mother was born in Birmingham, long before it became a Muslim sh*t hole.
Gart says
No, It’ll be 6 for ‘good behaviour.’
mortimer says
Western countries will eventually determine that they musts reinstate the death penalty for ISLAMIC TERRORISTS.
Terry Gain says
And 27 months for terrorism is nuts.
Scorpio says
No mention of deportation either! Please don’t tell me he is British; with he track record he should never have seen our green and pleasant land.
Anne Smith says
Too right it isn’t. It was an attempt at murder and he should really have been hanged. Unfortunately the EU has removed the death penalty and now the overcrowding of British prisons means the stupid system allows prisoners to serve only half of their allocated sentence. So this vile individual will do six years at the most.
In any case he should have h is British citizenship revoked (if he actual has any) and be deported to Pakistan where he should have been sent after his terrorism sentence. I cannot understand why our Government continues to foster and cosset these swines and prevent them from leaving to go to Syria or wherever – we are far better off without them in our country, where they are bleeding the welfare, NHS. housing, and every other benefit they can get their hands on.
Oh for a real Government and not the feeble Islam loving rubbish led by Sharia May.
Bill says
Pathetic England. Every effort made to minimize this terror attack. I am sue anyone in England calling it that will be prosecuted and imprisoned for hate speech.
Phil Copson says
“….Pathetic England. Every effort made to minimize this terror attack. I am sue anyone in England calling it that will be prosecuted and imprisoned for hate speech….”
————————————————————————————–
Let’s give it a whirl – that was a terror attack resulting from Shahid Ali’s hatred and contempt for England induced by his cultural/religious background.
Save Europe says
Which unquestionably originated in Karachi / Lahore / Islamabad (delete as applicable).
Bill says
Posting here will not get you sufficiently noticed (or, more likely would require too much work by the Thought Police monitoring this blog to ferret you out). It will take a letter to the editor of the local leftist newspaper of record, a BBC website or a speech at “(now muzzled) Speaker’s Corner” or maybe an offhand remark in a local pub.
Save Europe says
Who? Myself or Bill??
Paul says
Read the article via the link. The poor guy has permanent damage and may never walk again.
The sentence is too lenient. He should appeal.
Paul
Save Europe says
He should also sue this vile piece of vermin, so as to bankrupt him!
Save Europe says
Yes indeed. I agree.
Berengaria says
Shahid will be out of jail, quickly, & able to resume his terrorist profession. The May Government appears to be staking out their own British Citizens as Tethered Goats, to be sacrificed, for the Islamization of the British Isles.
I’m surprised that his former Terror Trail was even mentioned.
mummymovie says
What on earth is this guy doing still in the country?
Billy Chickens says
Looking at this man’s face we clearly see the results of a human person under the influence of evil. No baptism, no grace from God instilled in his soul, no love, no flickers of goodness – just the cold hard stare out of the eyes from the depths of a soul imbued with the evil of a religion originated by Lucifer in the cave in Hira.
Europe is in for a blood bath.
James says
They all have that same dead look.
jayell says
I wonder if this character was born in the UK or has been naturalised? If the latter, his British citizenship should be revoked and he should be kicked out.
Bill says
But the extremist hunting police will soon knock on some granny’s door, push themselves in, seize computers and prosecute her for questioning the verdict or writing her elected officials.
Lebel says
Lets just go ahead and say it. Every accident or collision involving someone with a Muslim name was and is likely an act of jihad.
You’ve been warned.
Shmoovie says
Possible, but unlikely.
Did you read the entire article?
Or just skip over the bits regarding the “accident” and his past activity?
WPM says
Right just a fender bender, a misunderstanding nothing about serving time for aiding a terrorist group in the past. You been warn by label not only stay out of the road ,stay off of the sidewalk, cross walks, out door cafés , any building near a roadway {large trucks too used by Islamic against road rage victims} when a Islamic might have an attack coming on Jihadist” road rage drive madmanist on Islam” on like a case of epilepsy!
gravenimage says
I see that Muslim apologist Lebel is now pretending that deliberately driving over someone’s head should be treated as an accident.
Officer, blowing up those filthy Infidels was just an accident–this won’t affect my driving record, will it?
Wellington says
Set up a straw man and then knock it down. How cheap. But then, how “Lebel-like.”
Lebel says
You are all right, let us modify my earlier statement.
Every accident, road rage or collision involving someone with a Muslim name was and is likely an act of jihad.
Please let me know if this is satisfactory. I am thinking of adding blowing red lights and stop signs as this may be a clear indicator of Muslims’ lack of respect for the filthy infidel’s laws and general disregard for the safety of said filth.
GI, any other inputs?
WPM says
You still did not address the mans previous conviction of helping terrorist groups(only 27 months in jail) and now was found guilty of running someone over on purpose and leaving the scene of the crime. The judge said he {the convicted road rage driver} had angry words with the pedestrian before running him over on purpose it was not an accident. If after he was found guilty of the terrorist act of sending aid “equipment to terrorist groups overseas and he was deport or jailed longer he would not have had out in public to cause harm to innocent pedestrians . He was not convicted because he was a Moslem , he was convicted of committing an act of violence against someone using his car as a weapon .His previous conviction shows his link to terrorist groups. Running red lights, speeding ,are traffic violations ,running someone over with your car on purpose is attempt murder. How you can put a traffic violations ,and a very violent acts together shows how far you are reaching. How you divorce the man previous conviction , links to terrorist groups ,to the present conviction of attempt murder? There are many car “accidents every day many of them cause deaths ,I am sure many of the drivers have Moslem” names” this one was brought to this websites because it was not an accident, and the man had terrorist ties to him.12 years is not a long enough time to serve in jail for crippling a man for life

Lebel hopes we all ignore this, WPM.

What do you call someone who looks both ways and bounces along the crosswalk ?
An Islamophobe…

There’s road rage and then there’s Islamic road rage.

Islamic road rage, you mean chase the guy down the street with a chainsaw like what happend in Australia recently.
Cheer Bear Girl says
If violence is the fruit of multiculturalism then I don’t want it.
Shmoovie says
100% agreement.
It’s physically nauseating to read the gobbledygook from this fraidy judge. Did he think his words meant anything to that maniac?!
12 years is outrageous.
gravenimage says
UK: Muslim drives over pedestrian’s head, “This offence involved the deliberate use of a car as a weapon”
……………….
Horrifying but unsurprising.
Wellington says
“Horrifying but unsurprising.”
Yes, gravenimage, indeed, but arguably most decidedly here (respecting fault) not because Mo’s deluded followers commit this barbaric rot with great regularity (this is to be expected of course), but first and foremost because dhimmis like May, Merkel, Macron and Francis find one fallacious way or another to defend this barbarism.
Herein lies what is ultimately, stupidly, sadly and so immensely uselessly the true “horrifying but unsurprising” aspect of it all.
Again, the only thing worse than evil is exculpation of evil. The sins upon so many Western leaders in our time for this most egregious of sins. Personally, I will never forgive them. Actually, I hate them for it.
gravenimage says
All grimly true, Wellington.
gravenimage says
Yes–insane. Obviously deliberately driving over someone’s head is attempted murder.
Niemoller says
There is always an Islamic unlying motive when Muslims are involved in situations of this nature. Muslims are indoctrinated with supremacist notions of deep contempt for non-Muslims who they view as only appearing human, but having the spiritual identity of apes and pigs.
Even ex-Muslims find it difficult to like many non-Muslims as well as dogs and pork, such is the hold over the primal sections of their brains by Islam. It is a long deprogramming process, so they need our help. Islam will not survive the coming age of technology. China will never allow Islam to overtake it; China will eradicate the rest of the planet first. And it can. Muslims have only their incompetent, primitive bloodlust and perversion, hardly enough to defend against technopower China. Vermin jihadists and pervert imams, their days are numbered. Gone in 10 years, but will they destroy the west first?
James says
The feelings are mutual, only I hold a greater contempt for the traitorous nazi bastards who are supposed to be our kin.
AJS says
27 months for aiding the Taliban against British troops? An act which could reasonably be called treason. Presumably released after half of that and will be out again in another 6 years after attempted murder, the only proper way to describe driving a car over someone’s head was reduced to GBH.
“British” authorities are now openly hostile to critics of jihad while being extremely lenient with practitioners of it.
I don’t see any peaceful resolution.
Grrrrr... says
But UK leftist Orwellian police will knock on people’s door asking “We’re here to ask you why you don’t like Islam”.
Baucent says
He should have been charged with a terrorism act. The previous conviction for assisting terrorism should have been a key part of the prosecution case, vehicular jihad is now an established MO of Jihadists.
infidel says
Don’t we all remember the ISIS directive: To drive and crush the head of the Khafir… He was just following his holy tenets,,,just look at the face of this savage animal..
kouldb says
Why was it still in the country? That childless May & her Muslim mayor are guilty as much as that ‘thing’ is.
