Ramadan in France: Muslim who killed his 5-month-old daughter says “without eating, my nerves were on edge”

Jun 10, 2018 10:52 am By Robert Spencer

Shouldn’t the French authorities accept this explanation and free this man? Wouldn’t doing otherwise be “Islamophobic”?

“Muslim Indicted for Shaking Baby to Death Blames Ramadan Fasting for Making Him ‘On Edge,’” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, June 9, 2018:

A Muslim man in France who was indicted for manslaughter for shaking his 5-month-old daughter to death blamed fasting during Ramadan for putting him “on edge”.

The 42-year-old man, who is said to have stayed at a hotel with his child while his wife went to work every day as the couple were still looking for a home, was indicted in a Versailles court this week for manslaughter after admitting to shaking the young child to death on May 28th, Le Parisien reports.

The man, who lives in the commune of Mantes-la-Jolie, is said to have reacted to the young child crying by shaking her and then throwing her on the hotel bed. The child once more began to cry and the Muslim man shook her again and threw her onto the bed but this time the child bounced off onto the floor headfirst and vomited.

Soon after, the 42-year-old took the child to a nearby hospital where she was diagnosed with a skull fracture and injuries commonly found in babies that have been shaken.

Following the death of the child, the man was taken into police custody where he admitted to the entire incident, blaming fasting due to the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

“I was doing Ramadan and without eating, my nerves were on edge,” he said….

    I wish I could unread this horrible story and hope the child is now in the lord’s care!
    This father should be punished for his crime to the maximum! Let’s hope the French government
    has the fortitude to enforce the law!! God bless the child!????

    Wait a second…
    The Mohammedan is blaming Islam for his child’s death?
    Sounds like a clear case of ISLAMOPHOBIA!
    Now THERE’S the crime, France!

    “I was doing Ramadan and without eating, my nerves were on edge,” he said….

    “Besides, she was just a female, so what are you so upset about?”, he added…

      Yes, another useless female, unless she can go out to work to support him in his idleness.

        Who misses one meal a day while doing no physical labor and turns into a monster? Maybe he would find it more believable if he claimed to be a Vampire.

        Five years not being enough for him to develop love for the child and a willingness to let or make his wife carry the burden of support, certainly points to his regard for women – oh wait, the Quran talks about wives as tilth, Muhammad said they were lacking in intelligence, gratitude, and they are the majority of Hell’s residents. An extensive list of Islam’s view of women: https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Qur%27an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Women

        Islam – bringing a new vision of women to Europe and new monsters to match.

          Correction: ” Five years” should be “Five months”.

    • Shmoovie says

      Jun 10, 2018 at 3:59 pm

      Yes, taking the edge off that day-fasting by sneaking a bite of something was the real sin
      committed– not the abuse or killing of an infant (or using hunger as an excuse to police).
      Mo and Allah see all and would hold that disloyal impropriety against him. A dead baby girl, not so much.

    Maybe a 5 month old isn’t supposed to fast. Try feeding, changing, comforting and walking the kid. Oh, wait, that is women’s work.

    OK, try this: YOU get a job, have mom stay home with the baby.

    Meanwhile, mom is most likely already knocked up and trying to manage one baby, a job, a second kid on the way, and a parasite “husband.”

    True fasting is from evil, per 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5.

    This totally barbaric practice of “abstaining” from food and liquids for a month in Islam makes its followers more incoherent and murderous and does nothing beneficial for them.

    One other thing.

    Try going for without water in hot climates like the Middle East. No wonder they are all insane down there.

      @ abad

      What are the exact verse and verse number concerning true fasting being from evil in 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5? I can’t find any reference to this in the chapter. Thank you in advance.

    Fasting is a dangerous practice. The Bible speaks of Jesus doing it only once and He went into the desert to do it ALONE. Fasting takes an enormous amount of strength, both of body and spirit. Another thing to keep in mind is that while Jesus was fasting, SATAN CAME TO HIM. But then, come to think about it, perhaps that is what Muhammad had in mind when he made fasting during Ramadan mandatory for his followers.

    • Ashley says

      Jun 11, 2018 at 8:42 am

      I wouldn’t call “skipping lunch” true fasting.

      I never eat lunch. I’ve never had much of an appetite. I drink a smoothie in the morning and have a light meal in the evening. Muslims observing Ramadan have a pre-dawn breakfast and pig out at night.

      This child died because she was in the care of a crappy father.

  9. A_M_Swallow says

    Muslims do not fast during Ramadan they just eat at night. If he does not have a job he can sleep during the day.

  10. somehistory says

    He didn’t want to stay in a motel room with a baby…while his wife, only five months after giving birth had to be the breadwinner…he wanted to be free to prowl for a second wife. he wanted to be out on the street harassing young ladies who weren’t fully covered.

    He should be given the harshest punishment available to the courts there. He has forfeited his right to life by taking the life of this poor baby.

    thankfully, resting in the sleep of death, she feels no pain and will never have to see this evil creature again. God can resurrect the child to a better time and place.

    Sounds like he was ready to snap anyway. But Islam has a way of turning one’s own family members into mascots for the family “honor” which leads to an emotional bond that is very conditional. There seems to be a tradition of child rearing that is based very little on love or compassion, but rather obedience to the patriarch.

    Here, though, I don’t think Islam had much to do with it. Maybe the culture that Islam adopted.

    • Salome says

      Jun 10, 2018 at 6:56 pm

      And the patriarch has the right of life and death over his children.

      Seconded, gravenimage.

      Sam Harris said: “Islam right now is the mother lode of bad ideas.” But he was wrong about the time factor. Islam has been the mother lode of bad ideas since a deluded warlord in the 7th-century Arabian desert cobbled together a ragtag horde of desperate thieves and cutthroats and promised them riches, sex slaves, and power on earth if they followed his bidding, and a nonstop sensual paradise if they died in the process.

    Virtual France: Macron admits losing control over Islam-dominated no-go areas in France, asks public for help
    France’s President Emmanuel Macron admitted that France has lost the battle against drug trafficking within the growing number of no-go zones in the country.
    In a speech for 600 business and political guests in May, Macron called on the local mayors themselves – together with the population – to find suitable solutions, for the problems in France’s 1,500 no-go areas or ‘sensitive areas’ as France calls them.
    Many mayors were struck by Macron’s speech. They had expected concrete political guidelines. Macron’s proposals are a long way from the ambitious strategy for the sensitive zones that former minister Jean-Louis Borloo had previously developed and published on behalf of Macron.
    Instead, Macron passed the buck: not he, but his predecessors have caused today’s problems. All solutions designed from above have failed, so they must come from below. He called for a “general mobilisation” of the population, organising itself to save the nation.
    In terms of security, Macron called for a “society of vigilance”. If you look away, if there are problems in your environment, you become an accomplice. Although this happens sometimes out of fear (in the focal areas), but it is up to the people themselves to set boundaries.
    He announced that by 2020, there will be 1,300 additional police officers in 60 sensitive neighbourhoods. Everyone can report problems on a central website. An estimated six million people – about one tenth of the French population live in the 1,500 neighbourhoods that the government classifies as sensitive areas.
    Already in 2011, a ground breaking 2,200-page report titled “Suburbs of the Republic”, concluded that many French suburbs are becoming “separate Islamic societies” cut off from the French state and where Islamic law is rapidly displacing French civil law.
    The authors showed that France – where there are now 6.5 million Muslims (the largest Muslim population in the EU) – faces a major social explosion as a result of the lack of integration of Muslims into French society.

    Poor guy!. You can not blame this guy killing his own baby now. He was following his religious instructions.

    We infidels are sometimes too harsh on these poor muslims, you know.
