Ramadan is the month in which Muslims strive ever harder to fulfill Allah’s commands. And Allah commands: “O you who have believed, fight those disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find in you harshness.” (Qur’an 9:123) Sameena Ahmed’s neighbor doesn’t appear to have been a disbeliever, but when one is working hard to adopt a particular mindset, it can influence how one reacts in a whole variety of contexts. Of course, going without food and water for hours on end can make one ill-tempered as well, which, combined with a deep commitment to the jihad ideology, can have more lethal consequences than were involved in this case.
“Woman suffering from migraine after fasting for Ramadan attacked her neighbour,” by Emma Davison, Huddersfield Daily Examiner, June 27, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A woman who attacked her pregnant neighbour said she was feeling unwell because she had been fasting for Ramadan.
Sameena Ahmed went to confront the victim over an assault involving her daughter.
She slapped her neighbour of 10 years across the face and assaulted her victim’s partner as he came to her aid.
The brawl happened on Ouzelwell Lane in Thornhill Lees , Kirklees magistrates were told.
Ahmed pleaded guilty to charges of assault and assault by beating when she appeared before Kirklees magistrates court on Tuesday.
Her solicitor told magistrates that while her actions were not appropriate, the 43-year-old was upset and suffering from a migraine because she was fasting when the incident happened on May 27.
Shamalia Qureshi said that Ahmed had lived on the street for 20 years and known the victim, Saiqa Bi, for 10 years.
Shortly after 7pm following a row between Ahmed’s daughter and Ms Bi, Ahmed went round to confront her.
Heated words were exchanged and Ahmed slapped Ms Bi across the face.
When Ms Bi’s partner stepped in to protect her he was also struck by Ahmed, magistrates were told.
The couple called West Yorkshire Police and she was arrested.
Mrs Qureshi said: “She said she had a good relationship with the victim and they were friends.
“Her daughter had an argument with the victim, was threatened about boyfriends and came home crying.
“She went round to speak with Ms Bi and said it got out of hand.”
Sonia Kidd, mitigating, told magistrates that her client held no previous convictions.
She said after Ahmed’s daughter was assaulted, she returned home upset and Ahmed went round to remonstrate with her neighbour.
Mrs Kidd said: “Mrs Ahmed was fasting as it was Ramadan and she had a migraine.
“She turned and slapped her (neighbour) and the situation escalated quite quickly….

So … first these people demand that we turn our societies upside down because of this ramadan-craze, and then they attack us when the effects of the same ramadan sets in? Get real, please.
Mary says
Does that mean I can slap my neighbor because I have a migraine?

Only during Lent.

Heh!

LMAO, Billy, form an ex Catholic. God bless.

If the daytime fast for so many days causes people to be irascible then it should be an aggravating and never a mitigating factor. It’s like the one who drives while drunk and runs over someone. No one has forced him to drink alcohol, and Muslims are not obliged to fasten during the day, it is their choice and they must assume the consequences of their actions. If the ramadan is admitted as a mitigating factor then we would be accepting that the Muslims are superior to the rest of the citizens.
Ray Jarman says
How dare you assert that people should take accountability for their actions! Just kidding Eur. You are so on point and as I have told a few of my acquaintances about drinking while driving and causing a death is premeditated. Like this muslima who knew that fasting would cause a migraine and a loss of control is like the drunk driver who says to himself that he intends to drive after drinking or smoking dope, knowing full well that impairs the ability to drive and make quick decisions, should be tried for premeditated murder for the drunk and premeditated assault for cult member.
Anne Smith says
This report cannot possibly be true as everyone knows that Muslims only do kind and good actions during Ramadan. Our Prime Minister tells us this and of course she must be right. (Sarc)

Gjallarhornet says
Since she herself admits that ramadan made her unstable … a solomonic and wise sentence would be that she would be barred from celebrating ramadan ever again. Sentence: 2 years conditional, no need to go to prison. BUT: indulging in ramadan would mean a violation of the terms, and then it would be straight to jail. I dare the judges to follow this up! 🙂
Frederick Revell says
During Lent I fast for 23 hours each day supplemented regular prayer throughout the day. It doesn’t make me short tempered or anything like that but gives me a complete sense of peace. Perhaps the answer for muslims is to pray to Jesus and get peace rather than the warlike Allah

somehistory says
They “fast” and demand that others not eat in their presence, demand that school children not be given exams, want restaurants and stores closed during the day, want them opened late into the night….
and then, and then….they kill their children, assault their “friends” and neighbors, and blame it all on the “fasting.”
Here’s an idea: ban the “fasting.” Here’s another idea: realize that islam is an organized crime enterprise and declare it illegal to belong, and shut it down.
It is from satan the devil and does what satan the devil does….lies, steals and kills…
They want to “fast,” and then blame the fasting when they are arrested for crimes. Typical moslim “thinking.”
Migraines run in my family. And yet, no assaults have happened, no killings. It must be that islam is to blame.
Angry Aussie says
Migraines run in my family too, and I get them quite frequently.
I was just trying to think really quickly what crimes I might wish to commit, and then use the good old “migraine defence”?
In all seriousness, when somebody has a genuine migraine, they just want a quiet dark room, medication, and bed. This woman may have ended up with a headache because the police were called, but no migraine made her do it.
somehistory says
Long, long ago, there were ads for Excedrin (I think that was the one) where the man or woman was grouchy and biting heads off…not literally…and the voice over would say, “I know you have a headache, but don’t take it out on her/him.’
, but like you, when a migraine hits, nothing will do except meds, dark room, quiet and a long sleep if I can get there. My family members are the same.
If she had a migraine, she would not have been trying payback for her daughter’s problem.
She didn’t want to try for the mental illness route, and like you said, her head may have begun to hurt when she realized what trouble she was in.

My first boyfriend got terrible migraines at times. he was normally a really energetic guy–but he would have to lie on the floor in a darkened bedroom when he got a migraine. Even if he had been so inclined–and he certainly wasn’t–this is the last time he’d pick to attack the neighbors.

PATRICIA FRANCES KOENIG says
That Muslima is lying. If she had a migraine, she would have gone home to lay down. Migraines are incapacitating. Just another Muslim taqiyya lie. She is hoping she will get brownie points for her Ramadan fake fast (gluttony after dark).
jayell says
I always thought that migraine headaches were often characteristic of intelligent people.
Westman says
I’m thinking….why would she be in a bad mood while skipping only one meal a day? Then I wondered..since she is not permitted to say anything critical about another Muslim..maybe she’s making up a story to cover her real reason for being angry – lazy men who force her to prepare their meals before dawn and after sundown. A month of that? Who wouldn’t be agitated? And who is less than a woman in Islam? A kafir woman? Classical anger displacement?
Westman says
Husband: “Let’s have a little private time together, tonight”
Sameena: “I have a migrane!”
Husband: “And I have a camel saddle!”
Rarely says
Ramadan is a period of sacrifice. Everyone around you has to sacrifice. Self-sacrifice? Never heard of it.
If it wasn’t for Ramadan she would have to invent a reason for the assault so it would be the fault of the Jews, Israel and/or the US.
Eur says
In Cairo, the fast-food shops that open during Ramadan play Islamic music, especially those parts of the Koran that curse and threaten Christians. The objective is to intimidate the Copts. Of course tourists (especially Westerners) believe that it is something mystical and exotic to hear that kind of music in a food shop. What happens is that we do not understand Arabic and we do not realize that they are really cursing us and wishing us all kinds of misfortunes. The Copts know well the type of ilk that live among them.
Ray Jarman says
Hey Eur, do you dare drive in Cairo during Ramadan? The motor ways are scary in the best of times and I can’t imagine driving there when people are not in full control of their actions behind the wheel. As my wife often reflects, we were lucky to have visited Egypt before the Arab reign of terror brought on by Morsi and his band of un-holy brotherhood. I feel so sorry for the Copts who are suffering the results there as are the Yazidis, Jews and the Orthodox Christians throughout the once Holy Lands.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, fasting in the manner prescribed by Muhammad does leave a person irritable and in a bad temper. It heightens the body’s need and desire for the things that sustain it in this world. Fasting for just a few hours at a time leaves the body with strength enough to lash out and get what it wants. But if the Muslims were to fast properly and not take the intermittent breaks to refresh themselves after a few hours they would within a few days reach a point where their bodily strength would begin to leave them and then they would have to begin to rely upon the strength of the spirit to sustain them. The body would grow weaker as the soul becomes stronger. Muhammad knew this. His intentions were always to deceive. He bowed down to the Father of Lies and taught his followers to do the same, tricking them the entire way. So Ramadan is actually about the needs of the human body instead of being about the needs of the soul. This is how insidious Islam, the religion of submission to evil, really is.
No Muzzies Here says
One can only wonder if the rigid Ramadan fast was actually started in order to bring about the inevitable consequences, such as those that we are seeing here.
CogitoErgoSum says
Of course it is. It’s purpose is to bring about mankind’s submission to all that is evil in this world and the destruction of the soul.

When an animal is slowly tortured to death, toxic hormones are released that cause a combination
of mental diseases associated with paranoid schizophrenia, manic psychosis and hopeless depression. A condition commonly referred to as Islam.
Ashley says
I’ll say it again…”pigging” out from dusk to dawn is NOT fasting.
It is my understanding that the fasting mandate during Ramadan is conditional/flexible. Infants, the elderly, and those physically compromised (e.g. prone to migraines) are exempt. Guess these folks need to secure a nifty disability pass…
These neighbors had a dispute. The offending party blamed her actions on Ramadan fasting.
Hogwash.
Knock on wood I never experience a migraine. I know many crippled by these horrific headaches. They seek a dark and quiet place to rest until the painful spell passes.
They don’t venture out to confront their neighbor…
Ginger says
The rest of the story:
“Ms Bi said in a victim impact statement that she was struggling to sleep at night and was afraid to leave her own home.
Magistrates fined Ahmed £60 and told her to pay £85 costs plus £30 victim surcharge.
They did not make an award for compensation because they didn’t want to aggravate the situation between the neighbours.”
Ah, bless.

If I said that Islamic fasting makes one violent, that would be called “Islamophobia” and “hate speech”.
If a Muslim charged with a violent offence says it…
…it’s a DEFENCE!

DHazard says
White supremacist Nazi murders Muslim neighbor, who was fasting for Ramadan, after the neighbor complained about the barbecue aromas. Turns out it wasn’t a hate crime, the Nazi was just in a bad frame of mind because it was beginning to rain and hist last hit of meth was wearing off.
MTV adds this to the list of reasons white people should hate themselves. CNN talks about it non-stop for weeks. MSNBC fails to mention that the victim was on the terrorist watch list. CAIR officials actually start crying over being handed something they can honestly peddle as a hate crime against Muslims. Black Lives Matter, and numerous student organizations stage riots disguised as rallies even though the Muslim killed was not black or even dark skinned. .
Remember – race matters because it doesn’t and Muslim is a race.

Take this Ramadon crap back to your own country. This is not a fast ! They eat more food during Ramadan than any other month of the year ! This lunatic belief system has no credibility what so ever. Its a false relidgion and should be banned ! Its a geopolitical system of government !

By the looks of her she is not fasting enough. It would be hard to be that big and then expect to not eat for a whole day and then for a month. Complete LUNACY.
