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

Former chief crown prosecutor connects domestic abuse with jihad terror

May 27, 2019 9:00 am By marc

“Men with histories of domestic violence should be monitored in the fight against terrorism”, leading lawyer, Nazir Afzal, has said.

Qur’an 4:34 states: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.”

Qur’an 8:12 says: “I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.”

Is this what we’ve come to? the evidence is right there, but we tiptoe around it.

Sadly there are wife beaters in every culture, but there is only one belief that not only allows it, but advises it. And the same with jihad terror.

The Daily Mail, well known for sharing half truths, in this piece does not mention the connection with Islam or jihad, but does share the 2 examples: Khalid Masood and Abedi.

From all appearances,  Nazir Afzal may be one of the good guys having constantly called out the “Asian” child sex slavery gangs. I expect his hands are well tied in what he can say.

“Men with histories of sexual violence are ‘more likely to be terrorists’ so police should monitor them, top lawyer claims”, by Izzy Ferris, The Daily Mail,May 26, 2019:

Men with histories of domestic violence should be monitored in the fight against terrorism, a leading lawyer has said.

Nazir Afzal, a former chief crown prosecutor, said that violent behavior towards women and girls was a ‘significant factor’ in whether or not someone was likely to develop extremist views.

He said he feared ‘radicalisers look for men’ who display such behaviour. Mr Afzal added that police needed to understand that ‘if you tackle violence against women and girls you can tackle all the other problems’.

Addressing an audience at Hay Festival on Friday, Mr Afzal said that monitoring those guilty of domestic abuse could help security services narrow down the list of high-risk terror suspects to monitor.

He explained: ‘There are something like 25,000 people who are on the radar of the security services and police in this country.

‘We don’t have the resources any more. You have no idea what it takes to follow one person. But if we look for the signs, and one of them is their attitudes towards women… we will be in a much better place.’

Mr Afzal, who is currently an adviser to the Welsh government on violence against women, added: ‘The question I ask is: Why has it not been on the radar of policing, the state or the authorities? Why is this state finding it so difficult to appreciate a misogynistic background of so many of these people?’

The Westminster Bridge, Manchester Arena, London Bridge and Finsbury Park attacks were all carried out by men with a history of domestic abuse.

Westminster Bridge attacker, Khalid Masood had a long criminal record with the mother of his two eldest children leaving him following ‘ongoing domestic abuse’. His second wife described him as ‘controlling and angry’ at the inquest into his victims.

Manchester bomber Salman Abedi also had a history of misogyny and violence against women.

    ISIS claims that they have a sleeper cell of intellectuals in the airport, court, government ,military, IT firms. This is not a wonder.

      One of Obama the stealth jihadist’s best accomplishments for the MB was placing MB operatives in various departments of gov’t esp in areas of national security. These stealth jihadists were placed in gov’t career positions where they will stay no matter who wins the WH. Obama did so much to advance the MB and a caliphate. He sent $156 BILLION to Iran in non-US currency on pallettes flown in on a chartered flight. He gave $8 Billion to the Egyptian MB party to help them win the election in Egypt. Immediately prior to leaving office he secretly sent $225 Million to the Palestinian Authority.
      Such a vile snake he was.

      Common Purpose is a cancer spread throughout British institutions.

        Plenty here on how Tony Blair’s treacherous, Islam supporting, Common Purpose organisation controls our local and national Government and the Civil Service.

    Men with issues against women are likely to be terrorists? I think it sounds true

    Those “radicalizers”, what is it that they do?
    They go to the ROOTS (Latin “radix”) of their ideology.
    They instruct their listeners with the CORE teachings, the HEART.
    “Violence is the heart of Islam”, says Ayatollah Yazdi.

    The source factor to blame is the ideology, but this subject receives no MSM coverage.

      “The source factor to blame is the ideology, but this subject receives no MSM coverage.” Indeed, the MSM flat-out refuses to undertake an intellectually honest examination of what Islamic theology actually teaches. Islam is peaceful, period; no further discussion needed or allowed.

    It is always something else. But never Islam.

    Ok, I have no problem with saying “Men with histories of sexual violence are ‘more likely to be terrorists’”, its just that we are still missing the point. Communities with Islam are more likely to create men with a history of sexual violence, who in turn, are more likely to take the quran seriously and kill in kind.

    When Nazir Afzal says, “Men with histories of sexual violence are ‘more likely to be terrorists’ so police should monitor them”, the authorities must take his words literally.

    Nazir Afzal is an example of a ‘moderate’ Muslim who may be a former Muslim, but will not say so. He has performed a great service to society by pointing out his ALL-TOO-ACCURATE observation.

    We wish that misogyny and jihad did NOT go together, but they in fact VERY MUCH go together, because if you take the Koran literally, that is what you get.

    • gravenimage says

      May 27, 2019 at 7:19 pm

      Mortimer, Nazir Afzal has said that he is a practicing Muslim, but given his support for women’s rights and opposition to forced marriage, female genital mutilation, and “Honor Killings”, it must be a very selective type of practice.

    Former chief crown prosecutor connects domestic abuse with jihad terror
    ………………..

    This is *certainly* true.

    Interesting. There’s probably a similar link to why Muhammad hated dogs and muslims’ generic animal abuse, too. I bet studies would confirm that sadists tend to convert to islam.

    • gravenimage says

      The largest population of Infidels converting to Islam are violent felons.

    If memory serves, Nazir Afzal prosecuted in a lot of the Muslim grooming cases, where under age and at risk British women were groomed, and subsequently pack raped by gangs of Muslim youths. I thought at the time, and still do, how appalling it was that young women who were brutalised by Muslim men, then had to repeat their story to another Muslim man, appointed by British authorities to put their case in Court. Were there no infidel, Christian (or at least non-Muslim) preferably female Crown prosecutors available? I, for one, will suspend judgment as to whether or not Mr Afzal is one of the ‘good’ guys.
