Germany: In jealous rage, Muslim migrant cuts off woman’s nose, breasts, and genital area

Here is yet another manifestation of the culture of violence that arises from religious texts which sanction the beating of disobedient women (Qur’an 4:34). Women are abused in all cultures. However, only in Islam is the abuse of women given the sanction of the almighty, so that the perpetrators can go away feeling righteous. The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34

Muhammad’s child bride, Aisha, says in a hadith that Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: ‘Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?’” — Sahih Muslim 2127

Another hadith states: “Rifa`a divorced his wife whereupon `AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. `Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah’s Messenger came, Aisha said, ‘I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!’” — Sahih Bukhari 7.77.5825

Now, there is no sanction for mutilation in Islam. The problem is that once the abuse is permitted, where to draw the line becomes a subjective matter.

“Horror torture with the kitchen knife! In Berlin in court: the merciless tormenter of women,” translated from “Horror-Folter mit dem Küchenmesser! In Berlin vor Gericht: Der Frauen-Quäler ohne Gnade,” Berliner Kurier, January 13, 2022 (thanks to Medforth):

With the last of her strength she reached the window – gagged, tied up, brutally mutilated. More than nine years after the fact, her ex-boyfriend is on trial.

It is about attempted murder in two cases – cruelly committed. The woman’s breasts and nose were cut off and her genital area disfigured. According to the prosecution, he wanted to let her daughter die of thirst.

Omid R. (54) in the dock: long beard, hair tied in a plait. Born in Iraq, his passport is Dutch. He stated IT technician as a profession.

He was with the Iranian Banafshe K. for a short time. She, then 36 years old and mother of a ten-year-old daughter, separated. Omid R. – convicted of violence against his ex-wife – retaliated, according to the indictment.

The public prosecutor: “He wanted to rob her of her attractiveness and her femininity.” He wanted to inflict severe suffering on her – out of jealousy and anger about the separation.

On the morning of October 30, 2012, according to the indictment, he broke into the Iranian woman’s apartment in Schöneberg, tied her up and gagged her, and wrapped her face with adhesive tape at mouth level.

Her daughter was also handcuffed and gagged. The girl was then imprisoned in another room when her mother was tortured to near death. R. should announce: “If I can’t have you, nobody should have you.”

R. is said to have thrown the woman, whose hands and feet were tied, on the bed and raped her. Then he took a sharp kitchen knife – “he first cut off her breasts, then the tip of the nose and finally the outer pubic area,” said the prosecutor.

Omid R. had barricaded windows and doors, then left with the conviction: Mother and daughter could not save themselves. The defaced woman would not survive the injuries and her daughter would die of thirst.

The Iranian is a joint plaintiff in the process and is represented by lawyer Roland Weber. You have an “irrepressible will to live,” he said in front of the hall. That’s why she survived. And because a cyclist reacted. “And because of the outstanding medical help.” She had to get through dozens of operations behind her. Thanks to the plastic surgery in Berlin “the cut nose is very well reconstructed.”

At around 5.45 p.m., the critically injured man managed to get to the window. A cyclist noticed her, saw the blood-smeared face and called for help.

Police officers now testified as witnesses. They had to detail the horrific scenes. A policewoman: “The severed body parts were no longer in the apartment.”

R. is said to have fled to Iran. He was arrested there and also convicted of the crimes in Berlin. In May 2019 he was released, in March 2020 he fled to the Netherlands and was arrested in the mutilation case. R. responded that he had already been sentenced for this and should not be punished twice. But in July 2021 he was extradited to Germany. His lawyers: “At the moment he does not want to talk about it. To be continued: January 27.
