This story was tailor made for Red Alerts. A Kenyan (?) immigrant named Rafiq Hassain Kashmiri murdered a man and sexually assaulted an old lady while in the midst of a violent manic episode brought on by heavy chronic pot smoking!
From Croydon Today:
Rafiq Kashmiri, 50, was jailed for life yesterday for the frenzied attack on Jon Cooper-Taylor.
The killer launched the attack after Mr Cooper-Taylor, 60, rushed to help an 83-year-old woman.
The self-employed IT consultant, a 6ft 1ins tall “gentle giantâ€, found the distraught pensioner attempting to remove the crazed Kenyan from her home.
The kind-hearted woman had befriended Kashmiri after he came to her aid when she fell on a bus.
But he turned up unexpectedly at her home on June 23, 2006 and when he refused to leave the elderly woman became unsettled by his “strange behaviourâ€.
When worried Mr Cooper-Taylor heard the sound of crockery smashing he rushed to help and attempted to reason with Kashmiri.
But the maniac pulled out a pair of scissors and a knife and repeatedly stabbed and slashed the divorcee.
The father-of-one died in hospital from loss of blood, caused by the vast number of wounds to his head, neck, arms and body.
Kashmiri admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
After the attack he had asked paramedics: “How is that old man? Is he dead? I hope so, I hope I killed him.â€
He also admitted wounding and indecently assaulting the 83-year-old woman, whose identity is protected.
Psychiatrists discovered he was suffering from a manic episode bipolar disorder caused by a long history of cannabis dependency and abuse which caused “uncontrollable violenceâ€.
Obviously the papers aren’t officially announcing the maniac’s religion but if Rafiq Hussain Kashmiri, supposedly from Kenya, isn’t a Muslim I’ll eat my hat. I heard that technically Muslims can smoke pot because the restrictions on mind altering substances in the Koran are extremely specific and concerned mostly with alcohol and drugs found in the middle east in the 7th century. Anyone know more about this?
English Rose is on this one.
Cannabis crazed? Of Good Lord….
er.. Oh, Good Lord!
Or is it, “In the name of Allah!”
Hey I lifted the title from the Brit press. It does have a certain panache though doesn’t it.
na u fucking prick, muslims cant smoke any drug or drink achol, n wot the fuck, ur making a joke out of this story, how wud u like it if it was ur dad who got killed, or ur dad was the killer, u fucking stupid people have no brain! u probley all sleep with ur mums n dads smoke crack n shit like that, dickheads
Muslims can’t spell either. If Muslims can’t get high why do they seem to get caught getting high so much?
you are implying just because of this mans name he is a muslim, i would like to say, just because a man is born in a muslim family, and given a muslim name does not mean he is a muslim in the heart. no more than given a male child the name john, or peter in a christian home will gaureentee he will be, act, or behave as a christian when he is grown. Also out of all the muslims i know , and thats quite a few, i only know one who smokes pot. and i know NONE who would ever think of doing such a vile thing as this person did.
Many Muslims in Europe smoke pot because the Quaran doesn’t mention it as a prohibited substance, and African Muslims are known to take various narcotics.
You and I both know if a Kenyan Muslim converted from Islam he’d have been murdered by his family, since he’s automatically and apostate and the Quaran proscribes death for all apostates.
As an aside the names John and Peter etc pre-date Christianity, which is why there are Johns and Peters in the bible while Jesus was alive (thus before Christianity) and in fact there is a fragment from ancient Greece that gives the story of a sorcerer from Egypt who went by the name John.
All converts from Islam I have met have Christianized their name, and if this person wasn’t a Muslim you can bet somebody would have reported it. But I’ll let you prove it. Provide evidence he isn’t a Muslim.
I just went on a massive masturbation spree after chronic pot smoking. Feels good man
the quran forbiddes anything that is intoxicating. and therfor it clearly forbides pot or wharever you call it. think before you accuse the quran or the muslims. how many such incidents happen daily which are commited by non muslims ??
That’s a lie. The Koran forbids drinks that fermented but Muslims world wide know that pot and other smoked substances are fine and there are Fatwas to that effect.
You “exceeded” did you? Interesting. But are you arguing that getting high doesn’t change your perceptions or behavior? Because that is indeed why people get high, no?
