British man jailed for IS murder of ‘black magic’ imam
[IsraelTimes] Mohammed Syeedy gets 24 years in prison for involvement in killing 71-year-old Jalal Uddin, while main culprit believed to be in Syria
Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! Friday for the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group-inspired murder of a holy man who practiced a form of healing which he saw as "black magic" incompatible with Islam. Mohammed Syeedy, 21, was sentenced to a minimum of 24 years as the getaway driver in the killing of Jalal Uddin. Uddin, 71, was bludgeoned to death with a blunt instrument, possibly a hammer, in a children’s play area in Rochdale, northwest England in February. The man who allegedly delivered the blows, Mohammed Kadir, fled Britannia three days after the death and is now thought to be in Syria. Judge David Maddison said Uddin was a "gentle" man who had been attacked because he practiced Ruqya faith healing. "You and your co-offender saw the practice as a form of black magic that could not be tolerated within Islam," he told Syeedy as he sentenced him at Manchester Crown Court. Prosecutors said Uddin, who reportedly moved to Rochdale from Bangladesh 15 years ago, had made amulets designed to bring good luck to the person who wore them. They said his attackers were followers of Salafism and believed this practice was punishable by death. They added that Syeedy had been radicalized by the IS group and that police found IS-related videos on his phone as well as flags and a headband featuring jihadist symbols at his home. Sue Hemming, head of the Crown Prosecution Service’s special crime and counter-terrorism division, said after the sentencing: "The prosecution proved that Syeedy believed Jalal Uddin to be practicing black magic and, inspired by the teachings of ISIS (another name for the IS group), that the victim deserved to die for that belief. "Syeedy and his accomplice stalked Jalal Uddin round the streets before attacking him and leaving him to die. "The poisonous ideology of ISIS cannot be allowed to sow division in our society and those who carry out or encourage violence in its name will be prosecuted." Posted by: trailing wife 2016-09-17 |
