Muslim who stabbed his mothers sikh lover jailed
A DEVOUT Muslim flew into a rage when he caught his mother at home with her married Sikh lover and stabbed him through the chest, a court heard yesterday.
Faisal Malik was outraged when he walked in on the pair after coming home from work early. In the ensuing scuffle, Himit Kang was pierced through his chest by a large blade, which sliced into his liver.
He was rushed to hospital and saved by emergency surgery, but not before losing two litres of blood.
Malik, 19, who was originally charged with attempted murder, always maintained he meant to scare but not stab Mr Kang.
On the second day of his trial last month, he admitted one count of assault occasioning grievous bodily harm. A judge heard last week how the religious teenager disapproved of the behaviour of his westernised mother, Shahnaz Begum, who drank alcohol and carried on a relationship with Mr Kang.
Rupert Pardoe, mitigating at Reading Crown Court, said: “He was deeply, deeply upset on a previous occasion when his mother returned to the house, dishevelled and drunk, in full view of the neighbours.”
On January 11 this year Malik had left work early from the night shift at Brakes Caterers because he was feeling unwell. When he got home to Broad Platts, Langley, he disturbed the two lovers, whose relationship appalled him.
“He came back unexpectedly. His mother and Mr Kang no doubt thought they were locked up for the night,” said Mr Pardoe. “What happened next is a matter of deep regret.”
The defence argued, and the prosecution accepted, that Malik rushed to the kitchen and returned with a large knife in an attempt to scare Mr Kang from the building. Ms Begum jumped in between them to try to stop the situation from escalating, and moments later the knife was plunged into Mr Kang by accident.
Mr Pardoe said: “The lesson has now been learned, and if ever a young man is to have the perils of grabbing a knife brought home to him, it is by the facts of this case.
“Fortunately the injury was not one which ultimately threatened Mr Kang’s long-term well-being.”
Mr Kang wrote a letter to the court in an attempt to minimise the severity of Malik’s punishment.
Judge Zoe Smith told the defendant: “In January of this year you were angered by the fact that your mother had invited a man into her house.
“When he did not leave you took a knife from the kitchen, and despite your mother’s attempts to restrain you, you moved your arms in Mr Kang’s direction, holding the knife, and he was stabbed in the chest.”
Labelling the defendant as ‘controlling’ over his mother, she described the events of the evening of January 11 as ‘very unusual’, but accepted that Malik had not planned the attack, but rather had acted immediately on his return home.
The defendant, who has previous convictions for assaults, was jailed for 18 months, with 207 days served on remand to be deducted from the total.

Comment:
Maybe we as Muslims should start a campaign about Sikhs enticing Muslim women to corruption?
Off course the blame lies with the mother for behaving in this manner and I really feel sorry for the son. Its bad enough that this woman drinks and commits zina, but to do it publicly shows a total disregard for the opinions of neghbours and her family, a classic case of individualism which this society is famous for.
The best thing for this brother to do would have been to live in a separate house to his mother as opposed to living under the same roof and witnessing such filthy behaviour which provoked him into violence. May Allah swt guide all of the Muslim parents to follow Islam and be good role models for their children.Ameen
