When he received his award, Rasoul Zarar Ibrahim was clearly considered a model of assimilation. But as this account notes, he still carried attitudes and assumptions from the Islamic culture of violence in his mental baggage. His daughter has paid the price. Will Swedish authorities try to protect women and girls in similar situations by working to eradicate such attitudes from Muslim migrants? Of course not. That would be “Islamophobic.”
The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34
Muhammad’s child bride, Aisha, says in a hadith that Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: ‘Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?’” — Sahih Muslim 2127
An another hadith states: “Rifa`a divorced his wife whereupon `AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. `Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green veil (and complained to her (Aisha) of her husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so when Allah’s Messenger came, Aisha said, ‘I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!’” — Sahih Bukhari 7.77.5825
“Moderate Arab convicted of honor violence – received a medal by the king,” translated from “Moderat arab dömd för hedersvåld – fick medalj av kungen,” Fri Kurir, April 13, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
In 2014, Rasoul Zarar Ibrahim received a medal from His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf. His “sunshine history” in Sweden since 1990 earned him the New Builder of the Year award. Now, however, Ibrahim has been convicted of honor killing against his own daughter. This after almost 30 years in the country where he has, among other things, represented the Moderates in the municipal council.
It was 16 years ago that Ibrahim had children with a Swedish woman from Sundsbruk who was eleven years younger. In 2008, however, he began to focus on entrepreneurship, and later separated from his Swedish girlfriend.
Although Ibrahim has been in Sweden for around 30 years, he has still not gotten used to Swedish culture. His daughter has therefore experienced a significant share of honor culture from his home country. Among other things, he has banned her from using social media. The daughter’s Facebook account is now reduced to a picture of a patched teddy bear holding a bouquet of roses.
At the end of 2020, Ibrahim was therefore sentenced by Ångermanland District Court for harassment.
According to the verdict, it can be deduced that he:
“Screamed ‘shut up, fucking idiot’ and similar expressions, took her cell phone and read her private messages, hit her with the car door so that her cap and glasses went off her, and caused a red mark on her nose.”
It also appears that he took his daughter’s mobile phone and started scrolling through her messages while driving the car. He has angrily “told her to stop being on social media and questioned which friends she has.”
Judge Susanne Söderström Wallin sentenced Ibrahim to a fine of SEK 1,500 for his honor crime.
Despite the fact that Ibrahim runs Subway restaurants with a turnover of 25 million a year, the district court apparently considers that SEK 1,500 would constitute a “penalty” and leaves the state to cover his legal costs of SEK 60,000.
