RIGHT SPEAK: India: Death Penalty Canceled for Rapist and Murderer of 6-Year-Old – Since He’s a Praying Muslim; Death Sentence Commuted of Muslim Who Raped and Murdered Six-Year-Old Girl Because He Prays Regularly

India: Death Penalty Canceled for Rapist and Murderer of 6-Year-Old – Since He’s a Praying Muslim

And he’ll be fed on taxpayers' money.

That the Indian judiciary has always treated Muslims with kid gloves is an established truth that has manifested itself from time to time in many strange verdicts. In continuation of the tradition of doubling as an apologist for Islam, an Indian judge has commuted the death penalty of Sheik Asif Ali, a convict of rape and murder of a six-year-old girl. An initial Jihad Watch report is here.

The incident occurred on the afternoon of August 21, 2024. The young victim went out to buy chocolates with her minor cousin; her family started worrying when she didn’t return after an hour. They called other villagers and initiated a search. The girl was found lying naked and unconscious by Sheikh Khairuddin’s house. Her family rushed her to a primary health care center, but they referred her to a more extensive medical facility, the SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack. On her way to the hospital, she succumbed to her injuries.

The victim’s cousin disclosed that Sheikh Asif Ali, along with Sheikh Akil Ali, had forcibly taken her away. The family filed a complaint, which led to a case being registered against the accused under Sections 302, 376-D, and 376-A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Section 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

The postmortem report on the deceased revealed that one of the perpetrators had gagged her mouth and lifted her by her arms to pull her away. They monstrously raped the 6-year-old child, causing several injuries, and then strangled her to death.

Though the trial court convicted the accused under the Sections of IPC and POCSO, the Orissa High Court acquitted Sheikh Akil Ali of all charges due to “lack of evidence.” In the case of Sheikh Asif Ali, the court stated, “The prosecution failed to establish the charge under section 376-D of the IPC against the appellant Sheikh Asif Ali. He is acquitted of such charge but found guilty under sections Sections 302 (murder), 376-D (gang rape), 376-A (rape leading to death) of the IPC, and Section 6 of the POCSO Act.” --->READ MORE HERE

Death sentence commuted of Muslim who raped and murdered six-year-old girl because he prays regularly:

Sheikh Asif Ali’s prayers must mean he is repentant, right? Right?

The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30).

“‘He is doing Namaz several times’: Orissa High Court commutes death sentence of Sheikh Asif Ali, who was convicted for rape and murder of a 6 year old girl,” OpIndia, June 26, 2024:

On 20th June, the Orissa High Court commuted the death sentence of Sheikh Asif Ali to life imprisonment from death sentence. Asif is convicted of rape and murder of a six-year-old girl. The court noted in the judgment that Asif was consistently offering Namaz several times a day and he was ready to accept the punishment as “he has surrendered before God”. The court took his readiness to accept his punishment as a sign of remorse and potential to reform.

The Bench comprising of Justice SK Sahoo and Justice RK Pattnaik stated, “The punishment should not be disproportionately great is a corollary and it is dictated by the same principle that does not allow punishment of the innocent, for any punishment over what is deserved for the criminal conduct is punishment without guilt. There is no cogent evidence that the appellant is beyond reform and rehabilitation,” while commuting the death sentence to life imprisonment.
