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

Muslim who stabbed man, screamed “I’m going to kill you, Allah Allah” pleads not guilty on grounds of mental illness

Feb 8, 2019 11:45 am By Robert Spencer

Of course Ihsas Khan is no jihadi. Of course he is mentally ill, as is so often the case that jihad ought to make the next edition of the DSM, the repository of psychological diagnoses. What else could possibly be going on here?

Pay no attention to the fact that 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….

“‘I’m going to kill you… Allah Allah’: ‘Ramblings of ISIS supporter before he stabbed a man in the head’ outside a barber shop in Sydney’s west,” by Lauren Ferri and Mark Brook, Daily Mail Australia, January 30, 2019:

An alleged Islamic State supporter who stabbed a man in his Sydney neighbourhood said he was going to kill him as he aimed repeated blows at his head, a jury has been told.

Ihsas Khan, 25, is on trial in the NSW Supreme Court after pleading not guilty to committing a terrorist act and wounding with intent to murder over the attack at Minto, in Sydney’s southwest, in 2016.

Khan is not disputing he stabbed Wayne Greenhalgh but is fighting the charges on the grounds of mental illness.

Mr Greenhalgh gave evidence on Wednesday that Khan said ‘I’m going to f***ing kill you … Allah Allah’ during the incident which occurred as he was walking near Khan’s home.

Mr Greenhalgh was on his way home when Khan, then 22, allegedly came out of his house and chased the victim with a hunting knife, stabbing him in the doorway of a hair salon.

Crown prosecutor Caroline Davenport SC said during her opening address the alleged victim was walking near his house when Khan attacked him with a knife.

When police arrived the former alleged self-radicalised Muslim was heard to say ‘Allahu Akbar’ and ‘I want to die today’, the court heard….

But when the 24-year-old fronted the court on Tuesday, the jury heard he has pleaded not guilty to both charges on the grounds of mental illness….

    At least this case is being reported by the Daily Mail. The more of these incidents that are reported in the MSM, the more people’s opinions will turn and they will stop ignoring this sickness in their midst.

      The sooner our judicial system quits calling perpetrators of terrorism acts mental cases the sooner our judicial system against the respect of the PEOPLE…Quit wasting time and our money ..just prosecute them for what they are..TERRORIST!…..This mental illness carp is just another ruse used by Muslims to throw off our rightly placed fixation on Muslim terrorism.

    Mental illness or mental incompetence? It doesn’t matter — their anodes don’t seem to be attached to their diodes. These so-called “”victims” of mental illness seem to be devoid of the ability to think or reason. It has been weaned out of them from birth. All that is left is a blind hatred with deep roots in their upbringing, culture and religion which reinforce their caveman ethics. (my apologies to cavemen). They don’t seem able to see that anyone not on the same page as they are as being worthy of life itself — nor are they likely to ever be able to do so.
    Inconveniently the “line” cannot simply be drawn between muslims and non-muslims.

      Remember….
      They are INSTRUCTED not to ask questions:
      “O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you.”
      Koran 5:101
      They are INSTRUCTED not to think:
      “It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision.” Koran 33:36
      They are INSTRUCTED to hate:
      “There is for you an excellent example …’between us and you enmity and hatred forever..’.” Koran 60:4
      Kafirs are “unclean” 9:28, “the vilest of beasts” 8:22, as “apes and pigs” 5:60, “the most despicable” 98:6.

    The muslim is alleged to be “self-radicalised”.
    How is this done?

    Muslim who stabbed man, screamed “I’m going to kill you, Allah Allah” pleads not guilty on grounds of mental illness
    ………………….

    How many times have we seen *this*? Allowing Jihadists to plead not guilty on grounds of mental illness is *our* insanity. This behavior is orthodox Islam.

    Belief in Islam is a mental illness. It would have to be a very large psychiatric unit to accommodate them all, unfortunately.

    Why did he act…he just told them…..so they label him mentally ill. Ask him if he read the Quran or goes to mosque….completely off limits. I believe he could show them the page.Sounds ludicrous this is actually happening…the clever imam will deny deny deny and the stabber once again is the victim of oppression for his ” human rights”, that which is the right to …..practice his religion.

    Feb 8, 2019 at 7:22 pm

    at least he is honest about being insane! Most Muslims are in denial about it!

  8. Or Else! says

    Feb 8, 2019 at 7:36 pm

    The originator was also mentally ill…i.e. psychopathic.

    How else could you come up with an ideology so diabolically brutal, supremacist, and totalitarian–rewarding the commanded murder/subjugation of infidels with a hedonistic afterlife–and still brand it as “holy” and “respectable”?

    Depraved from the word go.

      Western law has to close this legal LOOPY-hole when is comes to jihadis.

      If a Muslim screams the 1400-year-old war cry, he’s not mentally ill. He’s been severely infected with the Izlombie virus….and the source of the virus has to held accountable and clean up its dirty lab.

    Of course he’s mental Ill
    He’s Muslim

    Even in India, an animal Muslim brutally murdered a Hindu girl in Mumbai when she refused to sleep with him and then the family of this Koranimal is pleading mental problems…

      Recently ( a couple of days ago ) in Kumbakonam Tamil Nadu India Muslims were proselytising amongst the Hindu Dalit fishermen community .

      A Hindu community leader objected whilst the Muslims were evangelising his Hindu community .He objected to their missionary activities and had a heated verbal exchange with them. They returned as a group and chopped off. Both his hands. He bled to death.

      This was NOT covered in the Islamophilic Indian mainstream media .

        This terrible story was covered here at Jihad Watch, Cicero:

        “India: Muslims chop off hands of man who opposed their attempt to convert Hindus to Islam, he bleeds to death”

    Of course not, I don’t believe it have anything to do with mental illness but he is brainwashed from evil and hate sesmons by imams/preachers from inside the mosque – also relating to radicalism islam

    Feb 9, 2019 at 3:32 pm

    While I would agree Islamic beliefs are associated with Mental Illness he still deserves the Death Penalty

    This particular man may be mentally ill. Who knows, maybe it’s all that inbreeding that people comment on. To my mind, the important thing about all these cases is that Islam teaches people to go out and murder non-Muslims. Islam encourages its members to be violent. Christianity encourages people to be peaceful and to try to control their violent urges. Christian people who have a mental illness will at least be encouraged by their religious beliefs to avoid being violent. I think it’s the same for Buddhism. It may not work and they may become violent, but islam encourages violence and praises it. Islam is, therefore, a major cause of all of these attacks. And, these people are usually doing it all in Allah’s name. So the connection is pretty bloody obvious.

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 9, 2019 at 8:09 pm

      Funny that there are others like the Amish and Moravians who are inbred, yet they don’t go around stabbing people.

      • tim gallagher says

        Feb 9, 2019 at 11:03 pm

        That’s right, gravenimage. It surely has to be the encouragement of violence in islam which is the main problem, isn’t it. Islam is full of calls for violence and little else. If that’s what the ideology you are brought up in fills your head with, then, if you do become mentally ill, you are almost certainly going to act out in a violent way. It’s like many Muslims have a hair trigger device in their minds that leads to flare-ups of rage and violence over pretty much nothing. As I said above, Christians, even if they become mentally ill, are more likely (because of their conditioning) to try to not react violently. It won’t always work, but I’m sure ( as a Christian myself) that there is a voice inside Christians’ heads that’s telling them not to harm people, to remain peaceful. No doubt the Amish and Moravians are brought up the same way. You won’t see many (if any) Quakers becoming mentally ill and attacking people. They’ve been brought up to try to be peaceful. Muslims have not.
