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

Muslim preacher who said he is “not obedient” to secular law is working as an expert witness to British courts

Jul 8, 2018 11:10 am By Robert Spencer

What could possibly go wrong? It’s Theresa May’s gloriously diverse Britain! If you raise any objection, you’re a racist, bigoted Islamophobe!

“EXCLUSIVE: Radical Islamist preacher who has said he ‘does not believe in democracy’ and is ‘not obedient’ to secular law is working as an expert witness to British courts,” by Jake Wallis Simons, Daily Mail, July 7, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A radical Islamist preacher who has said he ‘does not believe in democracy’ and is ‘not obedient’ to secular law is working as an expert witness to British courts, MailOnline can reveal.

Dr Imran Waheed, 41, a psychiatrist working for the NHS and Bupa in Birmingham, offers his services as an expert witness in a range of civil and criminal cases assessing defendants’ psychological reliability.

For many years he was a key figure in the UK branch of Hizb ut-Tahrir, which campaigns for an Islamic state run by Sharia law. In an interview he said: ‘I’ve got no respect for any law other than Allah’s… I don’t care for the law of any man.’

The disclosure has sparked fears that the justice system is vulnerable to Islamist entryists who wish to ‘take control from within’.

Dr Waheed told MailOnline that he had since left the group and changed his views.

But in November he appeared in the organisation’s official internet broadcast extolling the virtues of a caliphate.

According to his website, Dr Waheed gives British courts psychiatric assessments of a defendant’s ‘dangerousness’, fitness to hold a firearm licence and fitness to stand trial.

He also treats mentally ill patients and lectures university medical students on subjects including ‘cultural and ethnic aspects of mood disorders’.

In a BBC interview he said: ‘I’ve got no respect for any law other than Allah’s, so I don’t care about the law to be honest… I care for the law of Islam. I don’t care for the law of any man.’

When questioned by MailOnline he said that these statements were ‘not reflective of his current views’….

    Muslims lie to the kafir with such ease, since they know it’s all for Allah’s cause

      Yep. His “current views” are likely even more radical, but because they’re not the same as his past views he’s not really lying about it. It’s just a wee bit of tawriya for the ever-gullible kuffar.

      We must assume that all Muslims, including Dr Imran Waheed, are lying to be on the safe side.

      -“taqiyya permeates almost all the activities and dealings of Muslims with non-Muslim societies…” – former sheikh Sam Solomon

      TAQIYYA IS NORMATIVE ISLAM

      There are SIX DIFFERENT WAYS of deception that are permissible in Islam: 1) taqiyya, 2) kitman, 3) tawriya, 4) taysir, 5) darura, 6) muruna

      •Taqiyya (Shia) or Muda’rat (Sunni): tactical deceit for the purposes of spreading Islam.
      •Kitman: deceit by omission.
      •Tawriya: deceit by ambiguity.
      •Taysir: deceit through facilitation (not having to observe all the tenets of Sharia).
      •Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something “Haram” or forbidden).
      •Muruna: the temporary suspension of Sharia to make Muslim migrants appear “moderate.”

      Through the principle of ‘hijra’ (Muslim immigration), the first Muslims to enter a territory lay a red herring of ‘peaceful Islam’. They constitute a Trojan horse. The Kafir or Kuffar community gets the false sense that the early immigrants are not a threat, at least not until the Muslim community has gained strength of numbers…at which point, Muslims aggressively begin to demand Sharia law against the will of the kafir victims of supremacism. This creeping persecution of the host culture begins and continues until Islam becomes the supreme and unanswerable political ideology in the territory. When Islam becomes official, the persecution of non-Muslims goes into full gear to humiliate and inconvenience them to the extent that they will convert to Islam in order to avoid Islam’s official policy of persecution. Jihad is warfare against disbelievers. Deception is a huge part of jihad.

      Allah is the greatest deceiver – “Allahu khayru al-makireena” – K. 3:54; cf. 8:30

    To a competent lawyer he’d be a dream to cross examine.

    • b.a. freeman says

      Jul 8, 2018 at 6:26 pm

      except that british expert witnesses are hired by the judge, not the opposing parties, IIRC; thus, there is no “expert vs. expert” in UKistani courts. i’m not sure what a lawyer could do about that; given that he advises the judge, the lawyers may not even be privy to what he tells the judge, let alone be available for cross examination.

      i favor the judge hiring expert witnesses, so that lawyers can’t play off expert against expert to confuse a jury (or the judge, for that matter). that said, having a criminal/enemy advise the court spotlights the need for his testimony to be available to both sides, so that it may be challenged if necessary (and in this case, it is *certainly* necessary!).

    ” … He also treats mentally ill patients and lectures university medical students on subjects including ‘cultural and ethnic aspects of mood disorders’….”

    what he likely teaches is the affects of loathing because of the defilement brought on by the existence of Kafirs. the allah god of islam (unknown; the best of all deceivers) loathes Kafirs, so he must [hating what allah hates, beings totally subjugated to the SHARIA – which is pleasing to the allah god.]

    so … not thinking with a heart of mind for humankind, he is an expert?

    If this character says he is going to disrespect British law, then he is disrespecting the British Crown and the British people. Which means that the British Crown and the British people should disrespect him. Which means disrespecting any rights he thinks he might have in the UK, and that should include any right he thinks he has to stay in the UK. There are plenty of planes going to India or Pakistan, and I should think they have plenty of spare seats since relatively few of these characters seem to want to return once they’ve invited themselves here.

    There is no more effective way to subvert law than to have false translations in the courts. Differing languages are insurmountable barriers between cultures if the translation is politicized or purposefully prevaricated. The translator has a power equal to the Judge if being the only person in the courtroom who understands the witness’ language.

      True, Westman.

    So what we have here is a Muslim psychiatrist who believes strongly in sharia law!

    Exactly what types of mental illnesses is he qualified to treat?

    Shouldn’t he be disqualified by his medical board?

    • b.a. freeman says

      Jul 8, 2018 at 7:08 pm

      in the u.s., the DSM (diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders) is up to version 5. as recently as the 1970s, there were still several schools of psychoanalytic thought in psychiatry (freudian, jungian, etc.), with the possible physical aspects of mental illness minimized; the DSM underwent revision according to the popularity among psychiatrists of these different schools of thought. since then, these “schools” have fortunately been mostly abandoned in favor of the assignment of real medical causes, but politically-oriented “doctors” have discovered the utility of being able to paint their political opponents as crazy, whence the latest revisions to the DSM. the DSM is a political document, and should no more be trusted than a political party’s campaign platform, or the soviet constitution, all of which were and are disposable at will.

      thus, “mental illness” is not something that can easily be pinned down, and psychiatry lends itself to becoming a club with which the left can beat those with whom it disagrees. in the soviet union, mental hospitals were filled with those who opposed the regime, or just appeared to do so to the nomenklatura. now that the hard left is gaining the upper hand in true republics, folks like robert spencer, pamela geller, and even little guys with a mouth, like me, can potentially suffer the same fate – that is, if a bullet doesn’t solve the left’s problem with them first.

      • James Lincoln says

        Jul 9, 2018 at 9:04 am

        b. a. freeman, good points.

        Thus we have the “weaponization” of DSM diagnoses by members of the far left psychiatric community for political purposes. I have always suspected that this was true.

    “ In an interview he said: ‘I’ve got no respect for any law other than Allah’s… I don’t care for the law of any man.’”

    Of course, just one “Good honest” Muslim.

    ……………………………….

    Islamic law, the Islamic constitution, spelled out on the pages of Qur’an and Sunnah of “Allah’s Messenger,” that law alone is that which the authoritative works of Islam allow the believer in Muhammad to be supremely governed by and answerable to. (As-Sallaabee, Biography of ABU BAKR AS-SIDDEEQ, P. 252.) Hence Dr. Sallaabee’s echo of the same: “The Noble Qur’an is in effect the constitution for the Muslims societies at all times.” (al-Sallaabee, The Noble Life of the Prophet, P. 800.)

    ………………………………….

    (http://www.debibrand.org/chapter-two-the-pledge-of-allegiance-the-baiah/)

    What’s more, their stated response—“The disclosure has sparked fears that the justice system is vulnerable to Islamist entryists who wish to ‘take control from within’”—laughable…

    They fear, these devotees to the way of Muhammad may “wish to take control from within”? What in the world would give them that idea?

    Perhaps, the teaching of their alleged beloved “Prophet”?

    ( OpposingIslam Series: Khalid Masood Chapter Four: “The best of them in jahiliyya are the best of them in Islam”

    dlbrand July 7, 2018

    By Debi Brand

    Khalid Masood, no Muslim, mere Muslim, or one among “those who believe”?
    Chapter Four: “The best of them in jahiliyya are the best of them in Islam”)

    ……………………………….
    .
    As “Allah’s Book” clearly speaks to: “It is He who sent His Messenger [Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace], with guidance and the Din of Truth to exalt it over every other din [–any din opposed to His–] even though the idolaters detest it.” (Surat at-Tawba: 33, al-Jalalayn.)

    This Din, of course, to be exalted over every other din, is, as borne out throughout Islamic doctrine and historical records and thus, in this work; one with at its core, a governing system. Thus, “doctrine” central to this din: “military teachings.” Hence, the alleged reason this verse declares the alleged Messenger was sent: to establish the movement-cum-nation that would elevate the Islamic governing system over every other governing system on this earth. Reduce and subjugate any that oppose it.

    For such reasons, Abu Bakr “put into effect plans of foreign conquest – plans that were originally put together by the Messenger of Allah.” (Sallaabee, Biography of Abu Bakr, P., P. 555.) That “messenger,” he, of course, as mentioned in chapter three, who declared, “I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people till they testify that La ilaha illallah wa anna Muhammad-ar-Rasul-Allah (none has the right” to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah), and perform As-Salat [Iqamat-as-salat] (prayers)….” (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book of Belief, P. 66, # 25.)

    Therefore, in doing just that, pursuing the plans for supremacy “originally put together by the Messenger of Allah,” armies of Muslim troops were sent out. Troops instructed to offer the peoples to whom they were sent the well-known three options: in short, offer them Islam, if they choose otherwise, take the jizya from them, if they refused to surrender that in humiliation, “attack them.” (Sallaabee, Biography of Abu Bakr, P. 546.)

    The goal of those exemplary Muslims noted above who were, as stated, implementing the plans put together by the alleged founder of the Muslim nation: “topple the governments of foreign empires.” (Ibid, P. 563.)

    And as spoken to in chapter three of this series, as Abu Bakr led the Muslim nation in so doing, “Abu Bakr did not deviate from the Prophet’s methodology by more than even the span of the hand or, for that matter, the width of a strand of hair.” Therefore, affirm the men of knowledge, during the “ days of his rule, Abu Bakr made key decisions that were exactly in keeping with the methodology and known wishes of the Prophet …,” as that cited above: “topple the governments of foreign empires.” (Ibid, P.P. 241, P. 563, in that order.)

    Moreover, all Muslims came armed with the duty to spread across the globe the message of the alleged prophet of Islam. Therefore, all governments that stood in their way and opposed or prevented the Muslim from doing their above-stated duty, history notes, “those governments had to be removed by force.” (Ibid, P. 563.)

    Well of course they are not–now he hates “Allah and his Messenger.” Counts as garbage the words and doctrine of “Qur’an.”

    Who could blame him …
