Swan - the other bird to bite
Posted on 11/22/2006 3:55:53 PM PST by voletti
LONDON: A Muslim man who was so hungry while fasting during Ramazan that he killed a swan to eat was jailed for two months at a court in Britain on Wednesday. Shamsu Mian (52) killed the mute swan at a boating pond in Llandudno on September 25 – only the second day of fasting in Britain. All mute swans in Britain belong to the sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II, a historical quirk dating from the 12th century. When challenged by police, Mian said, “I am a Muslim, I am fasting, I needed to eat.” Llandudno Magistrates Court heard that Mian had blood on his shirt and white feathers in his beard. Prosecutor Jim Neary said, “When interviewed he said, ‘I was hungry, I had to eat the swan so I killed it, I stabbed it. I did nothing wrong, it was just a bird, I needed to eat’.” “The officers told him the swan was the property of the queen and he replied, ‘I hate the queen, I hate this country’.” Judge Andrew Shaw told Mian, “You killed a swan at night. It was a cruel and reprehensible act. I don’t know how it died; there seems to be some speculation that you bit it, but I accept you killed it with a knife. It is a taboo act and the only sentence I can pass is one of imprisonment.” Miah had pleaded guilty to intentionally killing a wild bird and possessing a bladed article. AFP
Swan - the other bird to bite
I don't think this really has anything to do with this guy being a muslim - it has more to do with his being a f**ing wack job.
You are on to something. Maybe a swan... a God damned swan! KILLED HIS DAD!!!
I guess this was his swan song...
Hmmmmm?....Works for me. :O) Why didn't this guy just buy a sandwich or something? I hope there are efforts being made to do something with him other than a couple of months in jail. "I hate this country." "I hate the queen." Should be enough to do something.
from what I hear you have to be pretty dang hungry to eat a swan. Tough & gamey.
This being FR, I expect to be corrected shortly.
(from a Chicago suburb local newspaper)......"According to police reports, officers found a cardboard box containing a decapitated rooster in the parkway near Albert St. on Nov. 5.
Police arrested Jose A. Cruz, 26, for allegedly tossing the carcass of a decapitated chicken out of his SUV at about 1:30 AM.
Cruz said to police he killed the bird as part of a religious ritual.
The arrest followed five occasions on which police had found decapitated roosters in the affluent suburb."

Someone want to tell me how that makes sense?
Llandudno Magistrates Court heard that Mian had blood on his shirt and white feathers in his beard.
My thoughts exactly. He broke the law in England and had to pay the consequences. When he gets out, think he should consider relocating to a Muslim country.
So are dogs.
They're not supposed to masturbate during this month either.
Really. I learned that on FR.
Well maybe it's only between sunrise and sunset.
"So are dogs."
LMAO!!
I am a Vampire, I drink blood, I needed to feed."
"Well maybe it's only between sunrise and sunset."
Don't worry about it. The answer is truly of no importance whatsoever.
Well it certainly is of importance if they're serving your Thanksgiving Day meal!
He should be beheaded by his muzzie brethren for attempting to violate the sacred Ramadan by breaking his fast. This cannot be tolerated. Death to the infidel!!
"Well it certainly is of importance if they're serving your Thanksgiving Day meal!"
LOL, thanks for that disgusting thought.
Surely, you are correct about that. And before you say it, I'll stop calling you shirley.
