She screamed “Allahu akbar” as she brandished the severed head. But never fear, psychiatrists have fixed all that. My latest in FrontPage:
Gulchekhra Bobokulova horrified the world in February 2016 when she beheaded four-year-old Anastasia Meshcheryakova, whom she served as a nanny. Once Russian police got around to arresting her (she brandished the head and raved for fully twenty minutes), she was declared to be mentally ill. And now for the good news: psychiatrists have pronounced her cured, and she is set to walk free.
The UK’s MailOnline reported Friday that after just five years in a psych ward, Bobokulova has been “cured” of her “chronic psychiatric disorder,” and so she can be freed without endangering the public. That was easy, eh? Bobokulova walked around outside Oktyabrskoye Pol metro station in Moscow brandishing little Anastasia’s head and screaming “Allahu akbar” and “I am a terrorist,” but she has put all that behind her now, so why should we be hung up about it? What’s that? The doctrines of jihad still remain, and she could act upon them again? Shut up, you greasy Islamophobe, and step aside. You’re blocking the multicultural sunbeams.
After all, her doctors say they are “confident” that she is “harmless.” What could possibly go wrong? Well, for one thing, there are indications besides her exclamations that this killing wasn’t a manifestation of mental illness at all. The Mail asserted that she was “influenced by extremist ideologies on the web.” Bobokulkova’s own explanation for why she beheaded the little girl she was supposed to be taking care of was simple: “It was what Allah ordered.”
And he did. The Qur’an says: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (47:4). It doesn’t exempt nannies from this command, or exclude four-year-old girls from the pool of unbelievers who should be beheaded. It just says, “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” – no ifs, ands or buts. That’s what the Qur’an says, and that’s what Gulchekhra Bobokulova did.
At this point, of course, the John Espositos and Karen Armstrongs and Reza Aslans of the world would recoil in horror – a horror even greater than they might have felt when they saw the video of the hijabbed Gulchekhra with Anastasia’s severed head and knew that here was yet another PR disaster for the religion whose image they’re forever trying to burnish. That passage of the Qur’an, they would insist (if they deigned to engage their opponents in rational discussion and debate, which they do not, and do not need to, since they have total control of academia and the mainstream media), does not mean that individual Muslims should just go around lopping off the heads of infidels, especially infidels who are four-year-old girls. In the first place, they would say, it refers only to unbelievers one meets in battle, and Gulchekhra Bobokulova is not a Muslim warrior engaged in a war against non-Muslim forces, and little Nastya Meshcheryakova was likewise not a combatant in any such war.
It’s true: that beheading the unbelievers is an action limited to the battlefield is a common interpretation of that passage among Muslims. The popular English Qur’an translation by Abdullah Yusuf Ali renders the passage thusly: “Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks.” Another, by Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall, has it “Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks.” And so Gulchekhra Bobokulova is just another of the multitudes of Muslims who misunderstand their religion, no?
No. A boyfriend of Bobokulova had links to the Islamic State. The Islamic State considers itself to be at war with the non-Muslim world, and has repeatedly called upon Muslims in non-Muslim countries to murder non-Muslims in lone wolf attacks. In September 2014, the Islamic State issued a lengthy call to Muslims to murder non-Muslim civilians; it included this: “Will you leave the disbeliever to sleep safely at home while the Muslim women and children shiver with fear of the roars of the crusader airplanes above their heads day and night?”
The claim that the “crusaders” are victimizing children is significant in light of this Qur’an verse: “So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you” (2:194). Thus if the “crusaders” are killing Muslim children, then Muslims must kill “crusader” children. Could Gulchekhra Bobokulova’s Islamic State boyfriend have exhorted her to kill the child in her care in revenge for the children allegedly killed in Russian airstrikes against the Islamic State?
The possibility should not be dismissed out of hand, although it will be. In court back in March 2016, Bobokulova was asked if would ask Anastasia’s parents to forgive her. Holding up one finger, the sign of allegiance to the Islamic State, she replied: “I will ask nobody. Only Allah.” When asked, “What did Allah order you to do?,” she answered, “To kill.” Nonetheless, the Telegraph reported, true to form for the establishment media, that “no clear motive has been established.” And ultimately she was declared schizophrenic.
Of course. Jihad is never a motive. Even when the jihadi confesses to being a jihadi and killing on orders from Allah, Western officials and journalists, certain that violence against unbelievers has nothing to do with the Religion of Peace, will discount what is said and ascribe the behavior to mental illness, climate change, whatever sounds remotely plausible enough to keep the masses complacent, ignorant, and not interested in asking questions.
It is they who in fact are mentally ill, insofar as mental illness means an inability or unwillingness to accept reality and deal with other people on the basis of it. The beheading of Anastasia Meshcheryakova by the Allahu-akbaring Gulchekhra Bobokulova, and the subsequent dismissal of the incident as mental illness, indicates anew just how severely genuine mental illness currently afflicts the political and media elites all over the non-Muslim world. We can only hope these elites recover their sanity or are swept out of all positions of power and influence, before their affliction kills us all.
RichardL says
the doctors, of course, will be forced to make them the nanny for their kids, right?
RichardL says
the doctors who declare her cured will undoubtedly take her on as a nanny for their kids.

I know a lot of people are having some trouble right now, Richard.
Keith O says
I have absolutely NO tolerance for anyone who harms a child, so I have to ask why this murdering bitch was no made to “go away” by the Russians?
The death penalty should be mandatory in all countries for anyone who intentionally kills a woman or a child.
Also, the idiots who release her should be made accountable WHEN, not IF she reoffends.
gravenimage says
Russia does not have the death penalty now. But no one deserves it more than this evil Muslimah.
Mary C says
“The death penalty should be mandatory in all countries for anyone who intentionally kills a woman or a child.”
The death penalty should be mandatory for anyone who kills any human being (male or female, young or old) in cold blood, period

Muslim Woman Who Beheaded Child is Freed: She’s ‘Cured’
……………
Suicidal insanity.
And Russia is often as dhimified as anywhere else.
Big bro says
For your reference, the Russia has ended and so did Russians. The Grand Finale was quiet. Over 50% of soldiers are muslims, over 90% in 8..10 years.
Russians are dying in record numbers, around 350k per months!! Worse than the worst battles of wwii.
Dominating demographics are midasiaians and kavkazian muslims.
Google for “kurban bairan moscow” (ramadan in turkish dialect) for the pics.
gravenimage says
I don’t think it’s quite 50% yet, Big bro–but it is disturbingly high and rising. And the Russian birthrate is indeed very low–abut 1.5 births, below replacement rates and even lower than in Europe. The one exception, alarmingly, is the Muslim birth rate. Then, many ethnic Russians try to avoid military service. Then, Putin regularly appeases Muslims. Altogether, a recipe for disaster.
And yes–I’ve seen the ugly pictures of Muslims taking over the streets of Moscow with their aggressive supremacist “prayers”.
Don Ameche says
I think the whole economic situation in Russia has itself been breeding depression and futility in native Russians. They see little hope and thus no desire to bring children into their world.
gravenimage says
Russia seems to have just emerged from Communism about half way. A combination of an authoritarian goverment that still does not protect its citizens is a bad combination.
Don Ameche says
Gravenimage,
” Russia seems to have just emerged from Communism about half way.”
Yes. Well put.
My comment came from personal communication with Russians living here…….and some Video Blogs from Russia.
Constance says
OMG, Russia?
gravenimage says
Constance, I think that Putin has a tough reputation because he is brutal against his critics. Dealing with actual threats like Jihadists, sadly not so much.
Linde Barrera says
To gravenimage-It seems very strange and sad to me that Russia does not have the death penalty any more. But they should have it, for satanic crimes such as this one. How does a 4 year old child defend itself against a monster with any type of weapon? I grieve when I read stories like this.
I hope and pray that this Muslim murderess has to have a permanent chip inserted or some ID that cannot be removed so she never murders or is aggressive again. I pray Anastasia is with God Incarnate, Jesus Christ, + and that He helps her parents. Amen.
gravenimage says
Hi, Linde–there’s been a moratorium on capital punishment there since shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union. Russia has not executed anyone since 1996.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_Russia
I cannot think of a better candidate for the death penalty than this vicious Muslim murderer.
And–as I’m sure you know–there is no microchip that can accomplish this outside of science fiction.

She’s cured, alright. The same way Alex was cured at the end of A Clockwork Orange. And I’d feel safer around Alex than her.

Jonathan says
What a shame. As the USA struggles to survive, Russia was becoming my last hope for sanity.
gravenimage says
Jonathan, Russia has long appeased Muslims. Putin has built a mega-Mosque–the largest in Europe–for Muslims in Moscow, and he and the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodo Church often praise Islam as a bulwark against the freedoms of the West. I don’t think it was ever much of a hope.
Lauren M Hermann says
Jonathan, you might want to look at Hungary. It seems to be the one European country that has control of the situation, refusing to allow Muslims to immigrate there. At least that’s what I’ve read about Hungary recently. Do a search on the subject; it may restore your last hope!
Big bro says
Meanwhile the Russian press reports that she is prepared to be transported to her homeland of Uzbekistan, where she is widely referenced as a hero and her release celebration is orchestrated.
Apparently they are celebrating miraclous cure of the shahida,nothing to be worried about.
James Lincoln says
So who is going to be held accountable if / when Gulchekhra Bobokulova commits another act of terror?
What criteria did the psychiatric medical staff use as a “test of cure / control” before her release from the hospital?
What medications / psychotherapy was she prescribed?
What would be the follow-up care regimen?
Most importantly, if it was determined by the psychiatric medical staff that the islamic religious ideology exacerbated her underlying mental illness, would they recommend leaving the religion? If not, why not?
gravenimage says
And Gulchekhra Bobokulova openly said that she beheaded this little child as “revenge” for Russia policies in Syria against her sect of Islam. This doesn’t sound like random mental illness to me.
“Nanny who beheaded Russian girl cites revenge for Putin’s Syria strikes”
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-murder-child/nanny-who-beheaded-russian-girl-cites-revenge-for-putins-syria-strikes-idUSKCN0W50OH
“I took revenge against those who spilled blood,” Bobokulova told someone asking her questions off camera. “Putin spilled blood, planes carried out bombings. Why are Muslims being killed?”
A Kremlin spokesman said her remarks should be regarded as those of someone who is mentally unwell.
“You need to regard anything that such a deranged woman says accordingly,” Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman, told reporters.
…
Never mind that Muslims regularly wage violent Jihad against Infidels based on perceived targeting of Muslims–this is mainstream Islam, not mental illness.
Trevor Loughlin says
Well of course she is mentally unwell. Generations of inbreeding enforced by the prospect of honour murder have resulted in physical and mental problems far in excess of the normal population.
Mary C says
This is the one act of Islamic terrorism I bluntly spoke about on Fascistbook, which resulted in the loss of two liberal ex-friends. Not my loss though, their loss, and if they want to live in La-La Land, they can go right ahead. Though I sure as heck won’t feel sorry for these ex-friends when truth and reality bite them in the butts!
Don Ameche says
Little Anastasia was also a metaphor for Russia it seems.

Whether she reoffends or not, where is the justice for Anastasia?
