UK: Muslim migrant with “desire to kill English people” attacked random men with ten-inch kitchen knife

Aug 17, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Britain urgently needs knife control. How many more right-wing extremists like Samiulhaq Akbari are going to act upon their white supremacist beliefs before knives are outlawed?

“Afghan asylum seeker, 22, with ‘desire to kill English people’ is jailed for 21 years after frenzied knife attacks on Tesco shopper and two other strangers during south London rampage,” by Raven Saunt, Mailonline, August 14, 2019 (thanks to John):

An Afghan asylum seeker who tried to murder a complete stranger while ‘fuelled’ by a desire to kill English people was jailed for 21 years.

Samiulahaq Akbari, 22, was caught on CCTV walking into the Tesco Extra in Thornton Heath, south London, on January 8.

Akbari tapped a customer on the shoulder and asked for his nationality.

He then took a swing at the victim, Mr Speight, with a ten-inch kitchen knife when he said he was from the UK.

Mr Speight managed to kick Akbari off when he leapt on him and miraculously escaped from the scuffle without a mark on him.

Just ten minutes earlier Akbari had pulled a knife on two other men in separate establishments on the same road in Croydon and was said to be ‘fuelled with the same intention’.

Prosecutor Heidi Stonecliffe told jurors: ‘On that evening in January this year this defendant had set out deliberately to threaten, harm and kill members of the public by virtue of their nationality, or what Mr Akbari perceived to be their nationality – they were English.’

Akbari was convicted of attempted murder over the rampage which took place just 12 days after he was released from prison for another assault….

Akbari had first accosted John Hoy as he sat at a table in the kebab restaurant with three friends getting ready to eat having just come from a pool tournament at the pub nearby.

Jurors heard he ‘aggressively and repeatedly’ asked Mr Hoy where he was from before going behind the counter, arming himself with the huge red-handled knife and lunging at him.

One of the men tried to calm Akbari by saying Mr Hoy was ‘one of us’ but it was only when the men fought back that Akbari fled, Ms Stonecliffe said.

Akbari then made his way up to the pub where he confronted Barry Watkins as he was on his way out clutching his pool cue.

Jurors were shown CCTV footage of him marching Mr Watkins back inside to a group of men where he similarly demanded to know their nationality.

‘He and his friends replied that they were English, at which point the defendant started lunging at them with the knife,’ Ms Stonecliffe said….

    Afghan asylum seeker, 22, with ‘desire to kill English people’

    Ok, so this guy willingly moved to Britain and passed all controls and checkpoints without anyone noticing he wasn’t very fond of the UK?

      Seriously! And after the first incident, why wasn’t he immediately deported?!?!

      • Dan says

        Aug 17, 2019 at 11:38 am

        Ta heck with deportation.

        Deportation only works when borders are secure.

        Plus it’s not exactly like these guys are doing some low level crime nobody seems to care about, like running sex slave rings. (sarc)

        These people are TRYING to kill, AND KILLING, and with all the videos nobody even needs any called “smoking gun” because we LITERALLY have the BLOODY KNIFE!

        They should be express laned to the front of the execution line, strung up by a pig skin noose, and buried in its carcass, because THESE are the nut jobs that DO believe pork will send them to hell.

        Everybody knows it hurts like H to get hit with a belt.

        Well a pigskin belt is a nice fashion accessory and you’ll find all sorts of pigskin leather jackets, gloves, purses and shoes too.

        A gun of course would be better, but I’d bet the principle would be the same in that, if enough law abiding people start “conceal wearing” Muslims wouldn’t be able to tell WHO was wearing the real stuff, and who was wearing only the fake leather stuff.

          Is it time that we started defending ourselves or do we have to put up with this the rest of my life and lose our country and children to these Heathens

        • Dan says

          You have to put up with an awful lot of screaming without physical retaliation, but the INSTANT someone in that frame of mind comes within striking distance, you either clear the distance, or physically defend yourself because VERY FEW people can stop a sucker punch.

          muslims, as well as the left in general, can get away with so much because we’re no longer allowed to deck someone frothing at the mouth.

          Basically, muslilms are just bullies who metaphorically and LITERALLY been allowed to get away with murder..

          Yes, execute these scum. But only after they have been converted to Christianity.
          Then after the execution, perform a full Catholic funeral.
          All this done on national tv.
          How many martyrs do you think would be available then?

    Why jail him? Why not deport him? He won’t bring anything good to UK but hatred of English people.

      The majority of asylum seekers to the UK are from officially Islamic countries Pakistam
      Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Somalia,Eritrea, the Sudan. To name but a few.

      The under -18 s ( called Unaccompanied Minors ) are deemed children and taken into foster care by the local governments.They are placed with Muslim foster carers and such a home envirnment reinforces their Islamic beliefs and their contempt for non – Muslims.

      This young criminal Must have come to the UK as an Unaccompanied Asylum Seeker Child ( UASC). If he is still here at the age of 22 years ,he must have been granted Leave to Remain in the UK by the British Home Office.

        This is no child–he is a Muslim warrior at the peak of his physical powers.

    • jayell says

      Aug 17, 2019 at 9:37 am

      He’s clearly an enemy of the United Kingdom, and should be severely punished for his crime then deported. The trouble is, he’s by no means unique; for example, a female muslim ‘Diversity Officer’ at Goldsmith’s College in south London was (eventually) sacked after she tweeted that she’ wanted to kill white men’. I have no recollection of this revolting specimen being prosecuted for ‘hate speech’ or whatever. We have to face up to the fact that in the UK we admitted a load of hostile invaders who are menace to the country and its citizens. During WW2 the likes of these specimens were interred even if they hadn’t actually committed a criminal offence.

      • Michael Copeland says

        Aug 17, 2019 at 4:14 pm

        A small refinement to “in the UK we admitted a load of hostile invaders…”
        More specifically:
        “in the UK our politicians admitted a load of hostile invaders….”

    • A_M_Swallow says

      Aug 17, 2019 at 12:38 pm

      Britain prefers both. Any foreigner sentenced to a year or more in jail gets an automatic deportation at the end of his sentence.

      • jayell says

        Aug 17, 2019 at 1:34 pm

        Subject to the approval of the Human Rights lawyers and the antics of any any gullible lunatic looking for a suitable ‘victim’ to ‘defend’.

    Here in Florence such migrants from Islamic countries are mostly all young males, wandering around town, illegally selling cardboard prints and the police do nothing! Horrible!

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 17, 2019 at 4:46 pm

      Yes–since when have “refugees” been mostly unaccompanied military-aged men–historically the demographic *least* likely to be part of a refugee group.

    • Rufolino says

      Aug 18, 2019 at 5:58 am

      The Carabinieri want the easy way out, they don’t want to be accused of racism, creating “trouble”, or of being anti-migrant.

      Migrant vagrants have to be tolerated and the public have to put up with it.

      It’s the times we live in.

    England is lost!! Immigration without any acclimation never works!!
    England has allowed the unfettered immigration of Muslims to destroy their soverignity, their health care system their welfare system, their prisons have become grooming grounds for more terrorists, terror attacks daily, no go zones, rapes, murders, burning churches, etc etc. all at the expense of tax paying English citizens!!
    Pm Churchill is not resting easy today! England’s sovereignty is slowly being destroyed !! European countries like Germany, France, Norway, Sweden, etc are equally being destroyed. Europe will soon not exist! What are leaders like Macron and Merkel thinking??
    Who will save them this time? Certainly not Churchill or even the USA!
    God save the queen. No one else will be able too.
    God bless America and England!
    Trump 2020. Our only hope!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    That Muslim who engaged in the vicious violence against the English people with a kitchen knife was following the instructions for Muslim found in the Qu ‘ran .Which instructs Sura 9123. “O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you ,and let them find harshness in you…”

    Knifing people who aren’t Muslims is a very effective way of showing them harshness.

    Nevertheless, in spite of all the fact of reality, some people still call Islam a “Nonviolent religion”

    Those who that that complexly false claim might be wearing their “religious blinders” or they do know the truth and willingly lie.

    The DOUBLE STANDARDS of the globalist elites and their media trained seals are exposed by Robert Spencer’s deliciously ironic opener.

    Terrorism is an authentic and compulsory teaching of Islam (K.8.60 ‘Turhibunna’ – terrorize them).

    It’s the IDEOLOGY, stupid. Islam has a teaching of hostility and hatred directed by Muslims towards the disbelieving kafirs.

    Even very ‘moderate’ Muslims are reluctant to turn in JIHADI TERRORISTS like Samiulhaq Akbari, because Muslims know that it is a part of jihad to ‘cast terror into the hearts of the disbelievers’.

    These young males are an “Invasion Army”…They are, on the by and large, uneducated, mostly illiterate, and cannot be assimilated into the English culture, as a productive, peaceful member of society…They are looking for unarmed, “soft targets”, while they have the biggest kitchen knife they can find…This cretin’s mode of attack proves that he is an untrained, moronic, probably incestuously bred, wannabe jihad warrior, who doesn’t realize all the Islamic tripe he has been fed since birth, was only to get him to sacrifice himself for the glory of a long dead murderous, slave owning, pedophile…Let him serve his entire sentence, and then summarily deport him…If the tables were reversed, and an Englishman, was trying to kill Muslims, in his home country, the Englishman would have been shot immediately…Holding the high moral ground, is all well and good, but, in order to win World War III, which has already started, we are going to have to quit using the Marquess of Queensbury rulebook…

    • Keys says

      Aug 17, 2019 at 7:46 pm

      Yes, “[t]hese young males are an ‘Invasion Army’” committing war crimes.

      They consider the Geneva Convention rules for war to be man-made and contrary to Allah’s rule book requiring Jihad.

    21 Years at roughly £30,000 per year to keep this individual in custody (assuming he actually does the 21!) equates to £630,000 from the public purse. We are turning into a nation of mugs.

    Britain does have knife control. Knives are considered offensive weapon and the carrying of them in a public place was banned by the Prevention of Crime Act 1953. They cannot be purchased by people under the age of 18.

    I suspect the reason the terrorist was using a kitchen knife was that he could not get hold of a combat knife.

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 17, 2019 at 4:50 pm

      That’s about the biggest kitchen knife I’ve ever seen–certainly something you would find in *very* few home kitchens.

      • A_M_Swallow says

        Aug 17, 2019 at 8:11 pm

        That is a good point. My longest kitchen knife has a 9″ blade. The sharp pair have 8″ blades. Unless the length included the handle in which case he only had a medium sized knife.

    UK: Muslim migrant with “desire to kill English people” attacked random men with ten-inch kitchen knife
    ………………………

    This is not any asylum seeker–he came to the West to murder the very people giving him sanctuary.

    More:

    Britain urgently needs knife control. How many more right-wing extremists like Samiulhaq Akbari are going to act upon their white supremacist beliefs before knives are outlawed?
    ………………………

    This is not so far off. When a Muslim began stabbing customers in a IKEA store in Sweden, IKEA later changed their policy so that kitchen knives were not put in displays, and have to be asked for specially and wrapped before given to the customer. But the same murderous Muslims are still roaming the aisles.

      Kitchen knives in UK are now sold with the blade in a strong plastic sheath, and the whole thing fastened to a strong card with strong one-way ties that require another blade, or cutters, to remove them.
