Guest Post: Radical Moderate
A few days ago a horrible murder was committed in England. A Saudi woman had her life tragically ended by as of yet an unknown and unnamed offender [1]. I hope whoever committed this heinous crime, is swiftly brought to justice and repentance.
One notorious Muslim speaker Adnan Rashid made the following outrageous comment on his FB page.
"One of our Saudi sisters has been brutally murdered in what appears to be an Islamophobic attack. I hold the British political establishment and media responsible for this atrocity. Our sister's blood is on their hands. All Islamophobes in the government and the fascist media must take full responsibility for this brutal murder caused by their active hate mongering against the peaceful Muslim community. I ask the Saudi government to take heed and cut ties with the British political establishment until Islamophobia is eradicated from the media as well as all political circles. Our lives are not any less important than the rest of the British population." [2]
What makes Adnad think it's an Islamophobic attack? The article he posted gave the following information:
“DS Tracy Hawkings said officers were keeping an open mind on the motive for the attack. "We are conscious that the dress of the victim will have identified her as likely being a Muslim and this is one of the main lines of the investigation but again there is no firm evidence at this time that she was targeted because of her religion," she said."
The police have not established a motive keeping an “open mind” and there is “no firm evidence” that she was murdered because of her religion other than the way she was wearing an abya Islamic dress. So a Muslimah is stabbed to death wearing an abya and this means she was murdered by an Islamophobe? Talk about Islamophobe-a-phobic bigotry!
Now does this sound all too familiar? Remember Shaima Alwadi? The California woman who was found bludgeoned to death by her daughter. Remember her daughter wearing a hijab, and to much make up, and shedding crocodile tears behind over sized sunglasses to news cameras.
“We found a note that said “go home you terrorists” she cried to the delight of CAIR. Who immediately issued a press conference condemning this Islamophobic attack. Muslim author Reza Aslan personally blamed Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller for the murder. Even though the El Cajon police said they were investigating other leads and theories. The story brought national and international outrage, a Facebook page titled “Hoodies and Hijabis” was started getting hundreds of thousands if not millions of likes.
Only one small problem with this tale, the woman's husband was just convicted of her murder a few weeks ago.[3] His defense team even trying to blame the daughter for the murder. Muslims it seems even turn on their own families. Could this be another "Honor Killing" as was the case with Shaima Alawadi? Plenty of Muslimahs have been murdered around the world, including England that have nothing to do with Islamophobia.
As a matter of fact I can not think of a single Muslimah who has been murdered in England due to "Islamophobia". On the other hand I can name a few Muslimahs who have been murdered in England at the hands of their own family members. So if this woman was murdered because of Islamophobia she would be the first. It is well documented that so-called "Islamophobia" criminal cases have been either made up or greatly exaggerated. Can you say TELL MAMMA?
Adnan Rashid made another assertion:
“Lee Rigby's murder received 5 star coverage from the media. The Saudi woman doesn't deserve it because she wasn't "British" enough. Justice?”
What is interesting is that police are investigating whether this murder is related to another murder that happened a few months ago in the same area. Jim Attfield a mentally challenged white man was stabbed over a 100 times. This horrific murder received barely any media coverage, but no one is saying that it is because of retard-a-phobia, or "WhiteManoPhobia".
And oddly enough police are also investigating retaliation threats from Muslims! Even Muslims on Adnan Rashid’s own Facebook page have called for Jihad against the British government and worse:
And:
So in a real sense the as of yet unproven speculation that this woman was murdered because of Islamophobia, something utterly unheard of and something that has never happened before is leading Muslims to make violent threats against innocent British citizens! Without any evidence, Adnan Rashid and his goons blame this poor woman's murder on Islamphobes, the media and politicians. We have heard this before. Now I'm not saying this is a case of Honor Killings that has plagued Islamic families, something Muslims foolishly deny even existing. But I would not be surprised or even shocked if that does turn out to be the case. However this may be a case of a sexual assault or robbery gone bad, or even a case of a serial killer targeting random people in English parks. But either way just because a Muslim woman is murdered while wearing a hijab does not mean that she was killed by Islamophobes.
I hope Muslims will denounce and condemn Mr Rashid’s reckless attack on innocent Islamophobes, condemning his bigoted remarks for the hate speech he is promoting.I hope that if this horrific murder turns out to be anything other than a hate crime that Mr Rashid will apologize to the innocent Islamophobes he has unwarrantably slandered.
UPDATE
The BBC is reporting that a 19 year old man has been arrested after he grabbed another woman in the same area. No word on if the other woman was a Muslim or what the motives were for his attack. [4]
