Philadelphia Police Department photo of Merv Mitchell, also known as Mabul Shoatz“The thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands in recompense for what they committed as a deterrent from Allah. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.” (Qur’an 5:38)
Why was Merv Mitchell, aka Mabul Shoatz, arrested? You can see from his impressive zebiba that he is simply a devout Muslim. He and his imam were following the plain word of their religion, which, as you can see from the above quote, mandates the amputation of the thief’s hand. We are constantly told that we must have respect for Islam and that to oppose Sharia and its spread in the U.S. would be “Islamophobic” and “bigoted.” So Mabul Shoatz and the mosque imam should be issued apologies and allowed to finish their amputation without hindrance from the police.
“Philadelphia mosque leaders try to cut off man’s hand -police,” by Daniel Kelley, Reuters, July 18, 2014 (thanks to all who sent this in):
(Reuters) – Two men described as leaders of a Philadelphia mosque were accused of trying to cut off the hand of a suspected thief, whose wrist was sliced so deeply it required hospital treatment, police said on Friday.
The 46-year-old victim said two officials in the mosque accused him of stealing jars of money from the house of worship after morning prayers on Monday.
The officials, described in police reports as the mosque’s imam and amir, dragged the victim to the rear of the mosque, and attempted to chop off his hand with a machete, according to a police statement.
He sustained a severe laceration to his right wrist, and was transported to a nearby hospital by medics.
Officers served a search warrant on Thursday on the mosque, located in a house in the city’s Overbrook section, where they arrested Merv Mitchell, also known as Mabul Shoatz. They recovered a 2-foot-long machete from the scene.
The mosque’s imam, an unidentified 35-year-old male, has not yet been located, police said.
Mitchell was charged with aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy, simple assault, reckless endangerment, and related offenses.
