The Islamic Belief that Muslim Lives are Worth More than Infidel Lives

The UK’s Mailonline reported Wednesday that “a hero police officer suffered multiple skull fractures when an uninsured white van man tried to murder him in a savage machete attack.” After the perpetrator, a Muslim named Muhammad Rodwan, was arrested, Rodwan explained: “My life is worth more than his life.” Meanwhile, in northern Italy, according to the German-language site UnserTirol 24 “The higher regional court confirmed on Tuesday the first-instance verdict against Rabih Badr for the brutal murder of his partner Marianne Obrist (UT24 reported). Badr’s father was also present at the trial. The latter defended his son and accused Obrist of infidelity.” Badr’s father complained: “There was a problem between him and Marianne, namely the problem of infidelity. She was not loyal to him, he dedicated his whole life to her, but Marianne was not worthy of him.”

“My life is worth more than his life.” “Marianne was not worthy of him.” Is this just more Islamic “extremism,” or do Rodwan and Badr have a point?

Unfortunately, they do have a point – an Islamic point.

Reliance of the Traveller, a classic manual of Islamic sacred law, explains matter-of-factly that “the indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man. The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is one-third the indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity paid for a Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth that of a Muslim.” (o4.9)

Sultanhussein Tabandeh, author of A Muslim Commentary on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, agrees, stating: “Thus if [a] Muslim commits adultery his punishment is 100 lashes, the shaving of his head, and one year of banishment. But if the man is not a Muslim and commits adultery with a Muslim woman his penalty is execution. … Similarly if a Muslim deliberately murders another Muslim he falls under the law of retaliation and must by law be put to death by the next of kin. But if a non-Muslim who dies at the hand of a Muslim has by lifelong habit been a non-Muslim, the penalty of death is not valid. Instead the Muslim murderer must pay a fine and be punished with the lash. … Since Islam regards non-Muslims as on a lower level of belief and conviction, if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim, then his punishment must not be the retaliatory death, since the faith and conviction he possesses is loftier than that of the man slain…Again, the penalties of a non-Muslim guilty of fornication with a Muslim woman are augmented because, in addition to the crime against morality, social duty and religion, he has committed sacrilege, in that he has disgraced a Muslim and thereby cast scorn upon the Muslims in general, and so must be executed. … Islam and its peoples must be above the infidels, and never permit non-Muslims to acquire lordship over them.”

These ideas have lethal consequences. In Badr’s case, “according to judge Peter Michaeler,” Badr “‘beat her like a stray dog’ first with a stick, then with a baseball bat. Badr is said to have stabbed the 39-year-old with a knife….As was evident from Judge Michaeler’s reasoning at the time, the act was culturally motivated. Badr, who comes from Morocco, killed Obrist ‘without mercy’ and ‘bestially’ and exemplifies radical attitudes that are incompatible with the way of life of a Western woman….In Badr’s mind, the woman is subordinate to the man, the judge continued. As a result, Badr unjustly accused his partner of infidelity, and restricted and suppressed her. According to Michaeler, the motive was not jealousy, but the complete control Badr wanted to exercise over Obrist.”

As far as Badr was concerned, Obrist should have been under his total control, for she was not only a woman, but an infidel. She had no rights he was bound to respect. But of course, saying such things in the West today brings one charges of “Islamophobia.” Meanwhile, more women like Marianne Obrist will continue to be victimized and brutalized.

The idea that immigrants can impose their own ideals in the host country is ludicris. How about I go to Suadi and start a church? Ain’t gonna happen there. These a-holes need to conform or GTFO.

Anyone ever watch the U.K.’s Police and Detective shows? NONE of them have guns, yet most times, the criminal does. WHAT DO THEY THINK THE OUTCOME WILL BE?

DUH. Britain is well past being another 3rd-world country ALL BECAUSE they will not allow their Citizens to defend themselves in ANY area of their population. AND, THE MUSLIMS AND THE CRIMINALS KNOW THIS AND ARE LAUGHING WITH GLEE **AT** THE BRITISH PEOPLE.

I will give up my gun when I run out of bullets!

But it’s actually worse than that. Look up the number of people who’ve been arrested after injuring a robber or a burglar. There was a case a couple of years ago of a householder punching a burglar who ran away but died later. The householder was arrested. In the UK we are defenseless. There have been moves to make defense of one’s property an accepted act but so far they have been defeated.

Same thing in France, an 80 year old ended up in jail for defending himself, in his own home from a migrant, I think it was with a baseball bat. But still, the migrant burlgar went free and he old guy had to PAY his ass for “medical bills and moral compensation”, when he’s actually treated freely by the state.
Double sentence for the poor old guy, in my book. Triple if you count the “moral damage” from having to pay his own aggressor.

It’s difficult to discern any Moslem value of life given their obsession with death.

“Americans must know…there are thousands of young people who look forward to death as Americans look forward to life,” said the late Osama bin Laden spokesman Suleiman Abu Gheith.

During the Vietnam War, media pilloried military spokesmen who declared that the enemy then did not share our value of human life. But now, we have it from the enemy themselves. They are obsessed with death.

Moslems have always been obsessed with death. How often have seen mobs of Moslems burn the U.S. flag while chanting “Death to America!” or “Death to Israel!” or “Death to this!” or “Death to that!”, death, death, death, etc., etc., ad nauseam?

Moslems celebrate death. They dance in the streets at the news of massive deaths in Israel, America, Europe or elsewhere. They hail terrorists as heroes.

Moslem religion glorifies death in the name of Allah. From infancy, children are encouraged to die. To die for their religion is to go straight to paradise.

The questions are thus: Should we value Moslem life more than Moslems value our lives? Should we value Moslem life more than they value life in general? Should we value Moslem lives more then they value their own miserable lives?

I don’t think so
