NYC Muslim Beats Wife to Death, Lawyer says Beating Women is “Customary” in his Culture

cc1

And it’s a female lawyer making the argument. I’ve written before about the willingness of courts to excuse Muslim sexual assaults on women and children because it’s their culture. Now we’re expanding that to murder.

A Pakistani immigrant beat his wife to death in their Brooklyn home after she made the mistake of cooking him lentils for dinner instead of the hearty meal of goat meat that he craved, according to court papers.

Noor Hussain, 75, was so outraged over the vegetarian fare that he pummeled his wife, Nazar Hussain, 66, with a stick until she was a “bloody mess,” according to prosecutors and court papers.

Defense attorney Julie Clark admitted Hussain beat his wife — but argued that he is guilty of only manslaughter because he didn’t intend to kill her. In Pakistan, Clark said, beating one’s wife is customary.

“He comes from a culture where he thinks this is appropriate conduct, where he can hit his wife,” Clark said in her opening statements at the Brooklyn Supreme Court bench trial. “He culturally believed he had the right to hit his wife and discipline his wife.”

No doubt he did. That doesn’t mean he didn’t intend to kill her. If he beat her into a bloody mess, then it’s not as if he struck her a few times and she fell over.

More importantly, Julie A. Clark‘s argument allows Muslims to claim that they had no intent to kill in any situation in which they believed themselves justified in acting. So if they attack a Jewish person on the street and kill him, they can claim that they had no intent to kill because beating infidels is appropriate in their culture.

It raises the bar for proving the intent to kill when Muslim rape culture is introduced into the equation.

  • SCREW SOCIALISM

    Multiculturalism at its finest.

    Why aren’t Islamist entities demanded to be Multi-Cultural?

    Is it NOT PC to hold Islamist entities to the standards the civilized world is held to?

    What is deficient about Islamist entities that makes them too backward to be held to civilized values?

    What is the cause of the MORAL and ETHICAL blindspot that the Left suffers from?

    • glpage

      Idiocy like this indicates, to me, that leftism/liberalism is a mental disorder and, in some cases such as this, a debilitating problem.

  • Von Stierlitz

    Vibrant multicultural diversity !

  • Gee

    The cultural and religious obligations do not supercede US laws. The Mormon Church has polygamy and it was outlawed in America.

    • ssohara

      There are many religious customs that people have to give up when they come to the US. If they don’t like it, they shouldn’t come here.

  • Ruvane

    when are we going to elect a leader that has the stones to remove all this trash we have let in we need a real leader

    • BS77

      Michael Savage asked the same question…why on earth are we admitting countless barbarians from Pakistan, Sudan, Somalia and Chechnya? WHY WHY WHY do we need these people here…what purpose do they have being in the USA? Who is behind this immigration insanity? The Boston Bombers are a case in point. The Immigration policies are incomprehensible.

        They are reinforcements for Obama’s “Civil Defense Force,” ie, sworn enemies of real Americans.

  • Douglas J. Bender

    Unintentionally, this woman’s line of argumentation would enable all racism in a racist “culture”, including the old American South and its descendants. “Your honor, my client cannot be convicted of racism, because that’s just part of his culture, where it’s justified to be racist.”

    • glpage

      That does raise an interesting point. Islam doesn’t seem to have problems with slavery as long as the slaves are infidels. What is the idiotic left going to do when some Muslim is indicted for slavery, especially if the enslaved is black?

      • Douglas J. Bender

        Excellent point.

      • truebearing

        They will blame George Bush.

        The same goes for beheading a gay person or stoning to death a leftist drug user. The Left’s coalition can’t encompass Islam without bursting at the seams. It’s like a Boa Constrictor swallowing a crocodile. It may succeed at partially swallowing the crocodile, but it will die in the process.

        • nickeldoor5

          Where are the gays fight for the cruel treatment of other gays. They don’t want Christians maybe the muslims will suit them better.

  • Marty

    islam is obviously a mental disease that appeals primarily to murdering sociopaths.

    • SCREW SOCIALISM

      Hence the appeal of Islam to prison inmates and people with personality disorders (socialists, nazis, etc.).

  • Habbgun

    The Left says America has a racist lynching culture. Does that mean I can hang somebody now?

    • SCREW SOCIALISM

      The Left embraces the racist lynching, stoning, disfiguring, beheading, stabbing, shooting, bombing, CONSERVATIVE culture of Islamism.

    no one is buying the Quran’s “beat them lightly” nonsense anymore…

    all this is is a lawyer grasping at straws, making a ridiculous defense claim out of desperation (i.e, business as usual) . It’s not a judge agreeing with it or a legal precedent. It is nothing worth getting in a tizzy over

    • Daniel Greenfield

      it’s the process by which a legal precedent is eventually created

    • truebearing

      “It is nothing worth getting in a tizzy over”

      Yes, it is. Our legal system has drifted away from the constitution to a system where legal precedent effects similar cases, at times with highly undesirable results. This is a classic example.

      Our legal system is already corrupt, making the insurgency of Sharia all the more possible and likely.

    In addition to the poor woman’s murder, what makes me want to vomit is that a defense attorney would actually sit down and cultivate a defense for this savage, and a woman is defending IT. I hope she reaps what she has sewn 100 fold. DISGUSTING!!

  • USARetired

    This is one very good example why none of these ‘Heathens’ should be allowed to reside or remain in this Republic, where they cannot live within our laws. I say deport them all!

  • Hard Little Machine

    Is that not a factual statement?

  • Ralph

    Then all of you Stupid Muslims go back to where you came from… We do not allow that type of behavior here in the US.

    It’s too bad no one likes the death penalty. This scowling creature has committed a capital crime and first-degree, premeditate murder and has forfeited any right to life. But, then, it’s a “cultural” thing, murder. We can’t persecute someone who regards murder as a religious imperative, can we?

    • truebearing

      We can add “Premeditated Cultural Hate Crime” to the list. Then we can have punishments that are sensitive to the offender’s culture. In this case, a thorough stoning would fit, but an alternate choice would be beheading with a baseball bat.

  • Chris Gait

    Isn’t an anglophone tradition going to back to Shakespeare that “first we kill all the lawyers”? What is more cultural than Shakespeare?

  • truebearing

    I descended directly from the Christian knights that fought in the Crusades, so I’m sure the legal system will understand if I bludgeon Muslims with a mace. It’s a cultural tradition.

    There is precedent in handling cultural opposition. In the 1800′s, Sati or Suttee was the ancient Indian practice of burning a widow on her husband’s funeral pyre, or burying her alive in his grave. This practice is associated with Hindu traditions.

    The British General Sir Charles James Napier, the Commander-in-Chief in India from 1859 to 1861 is often noted for a story involving Hindu priests complaining to him about the prohibition of Sati by British authorities. “Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation also has a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets (any instrument of public execution) on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to our national customs.

    Sati was outlawed in India but a generation later…

    There must be a lot of inbreeding in the muslins to be like this man. Send him back were he came.

    • catherineinpvb

      Inbreeding aside; Sharia gets the job done. . .as does that which Sharia gets its killer instinct.

  • Distantsmoke

    Were I to go to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, or any other Muslim country I would be expected to obey their laws and respect their customs. But when these barbarians come to America they expect to be allowed to behave exactly as if they were at home, disrespecting our laws and customs and demanding that punishment is some sort of crime against Islam. Why do our so called leaders allow barbarians to continually disrespect our people, our laws and our customs in OUR country?

    Islime is not a religion, it’s nothing more than a cult. It shares 2 important traits with Scientology, even though they’re completely different entities. 1, they both have no tolerance for those who leave their filthy cults, and 2, they need to disguise themselves as religions in order to conceal their true agendas. Scientology in the guise of a religion, is nothing more than an elaborate scam devised by L Ron Hubbard, a 4th rate sci-fi writer and low-level con artist whose primary objective was to separate the rich and famous from as much of their $$$ as possible. Islime, in the guise of a religion, is a tyrannical, absolutist, intolerant, racist, misogynist political/social order devised by mohammed, a hashish-abusing child molester whose primary objectives were to rule the world and get laid.
