Incidents of “Islamophobia” are so thin on the ground in reality that they have to be invented. As you can see from the Huffington Post story from February, the media and the mosque leaders did their best to paint this incident as a manifestation of that phantom crime, but reality proved to be disturbingly intrusive.
“Muslim convert who stabbed prayer leader in neck in front of worshippers at London mosque asks to be sent to prison so he can learn Quran ‘from start to finish,'” by Lydia Catling, Mailonline, November 16, 2020:
A Muslim convert who stabbed a prayer leader in the neck in front of horrified worshippers in a London Mosque has asked for a prison sentence so he can learn the Quran ‘from start to finish.’
Daniel Horton, 30, has admitted stabbing Raafat Maglad, 70, as he held prayers at the London Central Mosque in Regent’s Park.
Islamic elder Mr Maglad is left unable to feed himself with his right arm alone and is scared to stand in front of his congregation for fear of a repeat attack, a court heard today.
Footage taken moments before the stabbing shows a man in a red hoodie kneeling on the floor and ‘praying strangely’ at the front of the beautiful prayer hall.
Police found a blood stained prayer mat at the mosque along with a knife on the carpet which Horton used to carry out the stabbing on February 20 this year.
Horton, of no fixed abode, was supposed to be sentenced at Southwark Crown Court today.
But the ruling was delayed pending further clarification on psychological reports after Horton asked his lawyer to be sent to jail where he could learn the Quran and not a hospital order.
Mr Sam Blom-Cooper, in mitigation, said: ‘Mr Horton has been clear in the limited interactions I have had with him that he wants to be sentenced, that he wants to be punished for the harm that he has done.’
He added: ‘Mr Horton wants a prison sentence. He does not want a hospital order.
‘He wants to learn the Quran off by heart. He wants to learn the Quran from start to finish.’…
“London Mosque Attack Had ‘Been Brewing’, Say Leaders,” by Nadine White, Huffington Post, February 21, 2020:
Muslims in London felt a mosque attack had “been brewing” following incidents at places of worship around the world, community leaders have said.
Shaukat Warraich, director of public affairs at Muslim welfare charity the Al-Khoei Foundation, said worshippers are now “looking over their shoulders” as they come to prayer, with many women and children opting to stay at home rather than venture out to mosques after dark.
Warraich said he spoke to the London Central Mosque about their security measures only an hour before Thursday’s attack, in which a man knifed the muezzin, who makes the call to prayers.
Warraich said many Muslims had been on edge since the Christchurch mosque shootings in New Zealand last March, when 51 people were killed and many others injured by a white supremacist.
He said: “Things have been brewing for some time now, since the Christchurch attacks (generally) the community has feared something like this….
Although the reasons for Thursday’s attack are not yet clear, Mr al-Khoei also suggested there is a rising trend in Islamophobia and condemned media coverage of attacks.
“The fear factor in the community has its roots in many incidents across the country and around the world where Islamophobia seems to be a current trend in people who think Muslims are fair game,” he said.
“People complain that Muslims have become easy targets for some sections of the media.
“Whenever there is an incident where a Muslim is involved it’s about Muslim terrorism. Most of the time when there’s an incident where Muslims are the victim it’s marketed as some lunatic or mad person.
“We need to have steps both to define what Islamophobia is and to counter it and to record it. Otherwise I fear that this cultural victimhood will keep growing.”
Al-Khoei said attackers of Muslims have “perverted the message of religion”.
He added: “To the wider community, it’s really important that no community feels targeted or marginalised or discriminated against.
“We are confident a democratic system can never allow the extremists to prevail and the Muslims of Europe this century not to become the Jews of Europe last century.”…

The mudslimes keep bleating about how they now live in fear of attack because of their religion.
Now they know how the rest of the world feels.
Civilised nations have had a background of fear for decades due to the actions of their “religion of peace” now the shoe is on the other foot and they don’t like it one little bit and are using this to scream they are victims of Islamophobia.
And if there is nothing threatening them they will invent something to play the victim. Sickening!

This is rich, given how many Muslims threaten Jewish people that they will finish the job Hitler started. Pious Muslims only refer sympathetically to the Jews when falsely claiming that they are victims.

They constantly roar about how they are unafraid to die for Allah, but when the rubber meets the road… they bleat and quake in fear, just like Muhammad did when he saw a solar eclipse.
Jayell says
Muslims keep bleating about how they now live in fear of attack because of their religion’ because of psychological projection on their part. Basically, the more ‘intellectually challenged’ one is, the less one is capable of, or disposed towards, intelligent objective cognisance and general awareness, and consequently the greater the vacuum of uniformed ignorance. This void is then filled with self-projection since the information for this is already inside the head in the form of one’s own personal experiences, knowledge and prejudices, and it is easier simply to project this in order to create a presumed ‘external reality’ than attempt to the more involved intellectual exercises of analysing one’s external environment objectively and correctly to arrive at a more realistic perception of oneself and one’s social and physical environment. This supposition would appear to accord with recorded low IQ ratings and general historical lack of constructive achievement within the muslim world.
Or I could have just summed all that lot up by saying that they bleat about being attacked because they’re too bl””dy stupid to understand that not everyone is like they are.
James Lincoln says
Jayell,
Muslims subconsciously use projection as a defense mechanism in order to avoid cognitive dissonance.
But you knew that already…

UK: Stabbing in mosque blamed on ‘Islamophobia’ was actually committed by Muslim who wants to memorize Qur’an

How many times have we seen *this* sort of thing–“hate crimes” against Muslims either faked or else actually perpetrated by other Muslims?

Muslims in fear again.. This has become a CRUEL JOKE on the victims of Jehaadi terror. But as usual. the dhimmi world pretends that every cycle of Islamic victimhood after a terror attack is a brand new one.

libertyORdeath says
It’s pretty telling that even a mentally disturbed muslim convert prefers prison to the hospital. Even he knows that a U.K. prison is little more than a mosque that you cannot leave which will give him plenty of time to learn about his new religion and jihad from those that know it best…jihadis.
Honest Ali says
“Mr Maglad… is scared to stand in front of his congregation for fear of a repeat attack.” I wonder what Allah would say about his being too afraid of death to pray…lol. The followers of Mahound are all talk, and all for attacking innocent women and children. But when faced with real danger, their knees go weak and they quiver like a bowl of jello. By forcing people to convert under threats of death, and by having the death penalty for leaving, Islam weeded out all brave people who were unafraid to die… and is now left with nothing but 1.6 billion cowards. Islam is the religion of cowardice.
Jayell says
‘Al-Khoei said attackers of Muslims have “perverted the message of religion”………
Wrong. Muslims have “perverted the message of religion”. Attackers of muslims are misguidedly trying to defend the message of religion by eliminating the practitioners of this pseudo-religious scam using similar criminal methods to those advocated by the scam, thus further perverting the message of religion. The answer is to ensure that the scam is isolated within strict territorial bounds with limited social contact so that it is not allowed to spread. Sounds a bit like the corona virus, doesn’t it?
Fred van de Bunt says
“Benn Maguire, prosecuting, told the court how the attack has shattered the sanctity of the mosque which should have been a safe haven for worshippers.
He said: ‘This should have been a spiritual haven of worship.””
Thinking back of Marawi in 2017, where almost 1000 “worhippers” laid siege to this town and drove 400.000 people of their homes, the place of worship Benn Maquire has fanatasies about, quite often seems diametrically opposed to reality:
“The militants were also apparently well-prepared for a possible siege, and had placed supplies in mosques and religious schools – which are off-limits for air strikes – days before seizing the city, said officials.”

The most common violence on Moslems is from other Moslems for any reason in every part of the world. Not believing the “other” Moslem is really following Islam, the “other” Moslem being from a different “clan” or family “group” or sect. Violence between Moslems goes back to start of Islam. The main thing they all have in common is the hate toward non-Moslem and the projection of blame on non-Moslem for violence committed by Moslem on Moslem violence. I guess going into prison to learning on how to be a better Moslem in many parts of the western world is like going into college for an advance degree in violence and projection. You get free food ,medical care ,meet and network with fellow Jihadist, study the many forms of jihad, get release in a few years with knowledge on how better to bring down western society.
mortimer says
New convert Daniel Horton read, believed and understood the Koran’s 164 jihad verses and then put them into effect according to the understanding of classical Islam.
Blasphemers and apostates should be killed by all right-thinking Muslims. Al Azhar University scholars have endorsed that view.

”A Muslim convert who stabbed a prayer leader in the neck in front of horrified worshippers in a London Mosque has asked for a prison sentence so he can learn the Quran ‘from start to finish.’”
Unfortunately, that seems to be possible in all Western countries. It seems to be because there is a general unsubstantiated opinion among correctional institutions that Islam is some kind of pacifier like real religions. I sure as hell hope that mental hospitals don’t have the same opinion of Islam.
