Maybe he wasn’t, but why did he behead his victims, which accord with the dictum “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (Qur’an 47:4)?
A hadith depicts Muhammad specifying the punishment for homosexual activity: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462)
“The story of Yousef Palani: A homophobic killer who sickened the nation,” by Sorcha Crowley, Irish Examiner, October 24, 2023:
Described as “giddy” and “daft”, nobody thought Yousef Palani could murder and maim. And yet he did.
His gruesome murder and beheading of two gay men in Sligo last year, for which he was handed down two life sentences, has shocked and sickened a nation.
It was the worst homophobic attack in the history of the State.
Palani’s decision to plead guilty, to first stabbing Anthony Burke and then murdering Aidan Moffitt and Michael Snee, at least saved their families from having to sit through what would have been undoubtedly a traumatic trial.
Some suspect his decision was self-serving, and not made out of any consideration for his victims or their families.
Perhaps it was the weight of damning evidence against him. The prosecution’s book of evidence was so big it had to go to the printing section of Garda Headquarters in Phoenix Park.
The sentencing of the 23-year-old heard he was motivated by his hatred of and prejudice towards homosexual men.
The second eldest of eight children of an Iraqi-Kurdish family, Palani came to Ireland in 2006 under a UN protection programme when he was six years old. The family was provided with accommodation by the State in Sligo….
“It’s not that they were causing trouble all the time, but they would intimidate us subtly,” said one neighbour, speaking to this newspaper on condition of anonymity….
There are five different motives attributed to spree killings: anger/revenge, ideological reasons, desperation, mental illness or thrill.
Investigators were satisfied he wasn’t radicalised. He was driven by “hostility and prejudice” towards gay men. He denied being gay himself.
The Irish Council of Imams condemned the killings at the time, saying that “murder is a horrific crime that cannot be justified by any means irrespective of the alleged motive or the identity of the perpetrator. Islam values and cherishes human life.”
Ernie says
The Irish Council of Imams : “Islam values and cherishes human life”….Hahaha…..Really ?
somehistory says
Ernie, we all know they lie….to spread islam and to keep from being prosecuted. These lies about “values and cherishes” is one of their default lies when someone is caught out as a murderer.
Ernie says
I know SomeHistory . Beyond shamelessness/cynicism such a statement , pure taqiyya . Diabolical .
somehistory says
The whole idea of “radicalized” seems to be based on the fact that most people wouldn’t do what was done….because doing that would be “radical” or outside the norms of behavior.; outside the realm of what is the nature of human actions.
However, since islam teaches….even demands….this kind of thing, killing homosexuals, murdering anyone who refuses to abide by the rules of islam, is the “norm” for mozlums. It is totally within the ‘realm of what is the *nature* of mozlums.
All devout mozlums are, when compared to the rest of humanity, “radicalized.”
But one devout mozlum compared to another., shows this murdering of people who are not following islam, is *normal.*
This murderer was following the demands of his fake prophet.
bagsgroove says
Muslims are the biggest hypocrites. They kill gays but have their dancing boys which they sodomize. What about that. There is not one thing good about Muslims and their ‘religion’
Siddi Nasrani says
In my humble opinion Islam is a Satanic religious cult.
Tony Rice says
You could well be right Siddi, just look at their Prophet, at age in his 50’s fancied a girl of FOUR years old, asked for her hand in marriage, which ceremony took place when she was SIX and he ” consummated the marriage ” when she was either 8 or 9. What does that tell us re the Prophet and the Arab’s moon god ALLAH who chose him? Muslims are allowed to have 4 wives but Muhammad had 10 and still had sex with female slaves. Females are secondary citizens to males, by Sharia law, a woman’s views/ testimony is worth only half of that of a man. Necrophilia up to 8 hours after death is permitted as espoused by a senior Imam in Epypt. Females are not allowed to be educated beyond a certain age ( no secondary education ) or enter most professions ( must stay at home ), couldn’t drive or engage in sports ( Saudi Arabia ) . Can’t initiate divorce. So would you say Islam is a misogynist religion/ way of life ?
Goofy says
Either the imams are not worth their salt or they are lying through their teeth, the latter being truly Islamic.
In Islam you don’t need to be radicalised as killing is mainstream, it actually goes to the core of the religion of peace
You kill apostates, you kill Jews and other non-believers, and you kill your children and grandchildren if they become an embarrassment.
Islam:s attitude to homosexuality is a bit confused as there are numerous accounts of Allah’s messenger being gang r*ped and being sore after the experience
Why would the best of men the very prophet of Allah do anything like that and still express himself so categorically about such behaviour deserving capital punishment?
somehistory says
Because satan is excited, gleeful, in his element, when people….even those who worship him and do his desires…are suffering, in great pain, and dying.
somehistory says
OT….but good news

It seems so. Let’s hope the sentence isn’t a week working at the NGO rusty razorblade exchange.

I’ll hope along. She should get whatever is the max for severe child abuse….this is a sexual assault crime.
Hoi Polloi says
That is good news. Thanks.
somehistory says
Hopefully, she won’t be the last. YW.
Westman says
Perhaps “radical” Islam is a misnomer which allows police to play dumb with media about their actual thoughts on religious motive. They have seen enough of Islam-motivated violence to realize Islamic doctrine is connected to Muslim violence, yet, they are under pressure to publicly deny it.
Suspect X then, becomes just another citizen with a large beard who is, incidentally, Muslim. “Ignore those normal loose heads. Nothing Islamic to see here, folks!”
After all, this behavior, killing gays and beheading unbelieving enemies is, via the Quran, required or allowed, respectively. More accurate descriptions are “Fundamental”, “Seminal”, “Authentic”, “or, “Protypal” Islam.
“Seminal Islam” embodies the (unchangeable) doctrine and also circumscribes the behavior of Muhammad and his Companions.
Hoi Polloi says
Someone has developed a new set of definitions. To be defined as a radical now requires 3 corpses, or what? Do tell us, I humbly ask our betters.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article:
Cops say Muslim migrant who beheaded two homosexual men ‘wasn’t radicalized
It’s a true statement.
It was the actions of a devout muslim.
Also, the feature article said:
“There are five different motives attributed to spree killings: anger/revenge, ideological reasons, desperation, mental illness or thrill.”
Ideological reasons can be found in the koran.
And
He probably got a demonic “thrill” out of it.
somehistory says
All true, James.
And he was probably expressing the “anger” all devout mozlums carry around with that huge chip on their shoulders, called “revenge” for some mozlum killed at some time or another by someone perhaps not a mozlum at the time of the killing.
this one might have even felt some desperation due to his own *feelings* toward the males who were not interested in him.
James Lincoln says
I agree 100%, somehistory.
somehistory says
Thank you, James.
Eva says
What he did wasn’t ‘radical’.
It was SOP for moslems.
When are people going to learn there is NO RADICAL in islam?
James Lincoln says
Eva,
Absolutely 100% correct.
Truth is:
A “radical” muslim is actually a devout muslim.
A muslim who has been “radicalized” has simply become more devout in their studies of the tenets of islam.
That being said, Western leaders will not publicly state these truths.
After all, they’re the ones who flooded their countries with muslim migrants.
Eva says
Thank you James.
I agree with you wholeheartedly that the politicians are never going to speak the truth about islam, because then they would have to confess to being traitors to their country and their people by bringing in these murderers wholesale, and also to admit that their ‘experiment’ in multiculturalism is an absolute failure.
They will never do either.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Further evidence that Islam continues to metastasize outside it’s traditional hellholes.
The orgy of bloodlust that is so common and expected from devout Muslims will persist until Islam is named for what it is and banned from all civilized societies. BOYCOTT ALL MUSLIM COUNTRIES. THEY ARE CESSPOOLS OF HATRED.
Tony Rice says
We cannot ban Muslim COUNTRIES but we should ban Muslim immigrants, as we see recently, they support others and when push comes to shove, I bet they will turn against us.
