Update: Brother Jailed for Attacking Harry Potter Actress Who Dated Non-Muslim

The brother of Harry Potter actress Afshan Azad has been jailed for six months after pleading guilty to brutally beating the actress because she was dating a non-Muslim.
(Read our original report on this story.)
Afshan, 22, was beaten last year, called a “whore,” and reportedly threatened with death after her family found out she was seeing a young Hindu man. Reuters reports the beating also included being punched, dragged around by her hair, and strangled by her 28-year-old brother Ashraf Azad.
The assault took place at the family’s home in Manchester, England. After the assault, both the brother and the father were found not guilty of making death threats, but Ashraf pleaded guilty to one count of assault.
Reuters says Afshan, who now lives in London, asked the judge in the case not to send her brother to jail. But judge Roger Thomas ignored that request, and instead sent Ashraf to prison for six months after he pleaded guilty.
“This persistent attack was accompanied by serious and very hurtful abuse and threats,” the judge told Ashraf in court.
“The background to this offense lies in the concern that you, and perhaps other family members, had about Afshan’s relationship with a young man who was not of the Islamic faith.”
Afshan played a classmate of Harry Potter in several of the blockbuster Hollywood films.

Posted on January 21, 2011 at 10:45amTime and violent incidents will bare out and make even most liberals realize that it is not a religion of peace but of brute violence and dominance over non-muslims and women. Unfortunately many will suffer and die before the idiot liberals see the truth. What the liberal doesn’t understand is that all that they stand for is exactly what the religion of peace would have them decapitated or stoned for.

Posted on January 21, 2011 at 11:43amWell, WTHPPL93, that is exactly what the Muslim women are doing and that is why the men are beating and killing them. Most women are a lot smarter than men think they are and most only want to be loved and to nurture their family, but enough is enough and they are finally able to see how women in America became “free” and want that for themselves. I only pray that God doesn’t take our freedom away in America because we are trying to bend over backward to make everyone “like” us. I say, “to heck with the rest of the world”. We started from scratch before and became the Greatest Nation In The World and We The People can do it again. Leave Muslim where they belong and let their women fight for “freedom” like our ancestors did. May God Bless.

Unfortunately, there will be some kind of retaliation; do not be suprised if she suddenly makes a ‘decision’ to leave the nation to be with other relations or suddenly gets hitched in an arrainged set of nuptuals happening at the last minute. The only reason the father and his brothers have not done anything else to her – including murder of her – is that the brother has already tried to discipline her thus saving the father and brothers honor, and the family honor and face at the same time; in the accordance of their cultural beliefs.

Posted on January 21, 2011 at 10:07amSo an English judge finally has the guts to stand up and sentence a muslum man for the assault on a non-muslum? And the part where he tried to murder his own sister by strangulation and assault has been ignored completely?
Somehow it does not fail to suprise me in the least; and I imagine that very soon it will commense here in America as well as that would be in line with Mr Obama‘s failed ’muslum outreach’ programs.
Then again what else will be expected of him and the PC garbage of the Progressives.

Posted on January 21, 2011 at 5:27pmWhy does everyone insist on carrying on another crusade against Islam?
It has become a corrupted religion like every other religion in the world, currently,
Yes, INCLUDING Christianity (which is possibly the most corrupted of them all)
Islam was once a very fulfilling, peaceful, and thoughtful religion which led it’s followers into a mathematic and scientific golden-age, and then a literature and artwork golden-age.Since the empowerment of several bad leaders, one after the other, the religion and the way it was interpreted was perverted by forces who wished to control the people and bend them to their violent will.
Instead of a religion of peace, piety, and faith in Allah, it became a religion of power, bloodthirst, and conquest.However, Islam is still, at the core, a peaceful religion. It’s only been so perverted that few today can still become what the religion intended, instead of falling into the current fad of Jihads and infidel killing.
Christianity was relevant about the same length of time Islam was, but in different time windows.
Christianity’s main draw was that it empowered people through peace and love to become better people, and build better societies. Around the 5th century AD, things had begun to go to hell. When the emperors and kings started ruling with the churches and the popes, wars started, people died, and the messages of Christianity got perverted by some rather bloodthirsty clergyman and papal leaders. There were consistent struggles, and nobody wanted to let the other have full control, or even half control. In all the fervor of war, Christianity’s peaceful message was all but forgotten about, and replaced by bloody inquisitions, witch hunts, and holy wars. Catholiscism came up with new ways to integrate control of the citizenry into everyday church activity, coming up with religious concepts that involved paying money to ensure your passage into heaven, and ridiculously corrupt things like that.
While Christianity later came out of the lowness it had become, it never regained its full power and healing abilities.

America is a country of tolerance and acceptance when it comes to our religious beliefs, but we DO NOT embrace or tolerate this kind of barbaric violence that is being masked under the veil of religious beliefs. Maybe it is because we don’t live in a world 2000 years ago. We try to learn from the mistakes of our past and move forward. Any kind of religion that thinks its okay to treat others this way has no place here in America. In America we value life and that is probably why these Islamic nut jobs hate us.
