Finland: Muslim asylum seeker who went on stabbing spree gets life sentence, i.e. 12 to 20 years

Jun 19, 2018 8:43 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A Moroccan asylum-seeker who was the subject of Finland’s first terrorism trial was handed down a life sentence for a stabbing spree he went on last year.

Abderrahman Bouanane murdered two and injured eight, yet he smiled from the dock when his trial began.

He wanted to “spread fear among citizens and likely wished to be shot by police and die as a martyr. He told investigators that his initial plan was to decapitate his victims.”

“Casting terror,” “striking the neck”are both Islamic religious commands to which Bouanane adhered.

The West is infiltrated by many like him, while destructive governments such as Canada and many European governments try to silence dialogue about it, calling it “Islamophobia.”

Bouanane had claimed to be a 17-year-old boy called Abderrahman Mechkah when he arrived in Finland in 2016, and applied for asylum as an unaccompanied minor.

Alarmingly, three out of four asylum seekers who claim to be children are actually adults according to Denmark’s immigration services, while the UK has admitted that lying about age is a common practice among asylum seekers.

“Asylum-seeker gets life after Finland’s first terror trial,” Associated Press, June 15, 2018:

A Moroccan asylum-seeker who was the subject of Finland’s first terrorism trial was convicted Friday of two terror-related murders and eight attempted murders from a stabbing attack in the Nordic country last year.

The southern Finland district court sentenced Abderrahman Bouanane, an alleged sympathizer of the Islamic State group, to life in prison after finding him guilty of the Aug. 18 attack in Turku.

Prosecutors alleged that Bouanane was motivated largely by hatred following heavy military bombardments in the Syrian city of Raqqa carried out by the Western military alliance targeting the Islamic State group.

Bouanane, who is in his early 20s, pleaded guilty to the murder charges, but denied committing a terrorist act as prosecutors alleged.

A life sentence in Finland averages 12 to 20 years, with most prisoners serving 14 to 16 years.

Prosecutor Hannu Koistinen said Bouanane wanted to spread fear among citizens and likely wished to be shot by police and die as a martyr. He told investigators that his initial plan was to decapitate his victims.

“I feel an enormous joy, but also sadness,” Hassan Zubier, who was stabbed in the arm while trying to help a victim who died, told Finnish broadcaster YLE. “We have two dead and eight who are injured for life.”…..

    The Fins are a bunch of “kitty cats” and deserve what they get for being such cowards.

      12 years for murder? Unbelievable…Well, they deserve the government they voted for…

    This guy deserves the death penalty. Europe better think long and hard about doing away with the death penalty especially when the Muslims decide they have reached enough numbers to overthrow the European govts.

      Fear not, the lake of fire is the death penalty. Revelation 21:8.

    It must be very reassuring for Fins to realize that premeditated murder is treated just like an automobile accident that involves negligence.

    sarc:

    Fin 1: “Did you hear about the woman who was stabbed to death at the market by a man shouting something about allah?”

    Fin 2: “Yes, and it’s a pity that someone can’t make safer, self-cutting, knives”

    He’ll live better in a Finnish prison that he lives on the outside.

    Time travels ARE possible : Muslims leave their countries with 25 and appear here as teenagers :/

    As Groucho so clearly put it: “There he is. My ENTIRE argument to restrict immigration”.

    In Canada he’d probably get weekend passes.

    ………………..

    Grotesquely weak sentence. So often, “life in prison” is anything but.

    The smiling face of Islam in 2018 – another murderous moron.

    if he wanted to “spread fear” why is he smiling? Maybe because he knows in 12 to 20 years he’ll be out and start stabbing again.

    The Soldiers of Odin have been rather quiet lately?
