“Almestadi’s trial heard he knocked on the 19-year-old’s door, slit her throat and started choking her before other students pulled him off. A court found the teen not criminally responsible because he was suffering from a psychotic episode in which he believed the Qur’an had sent him a message to kill Hare.”
Did he really need a “psychotic episode” to get the idea that the Qur’an wanted him to slit the throat of a non-Muslim? “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (Qur’an 47:4).
“Hare alleges in the lawsuit filed in B.C. Supreme Court that UBC failed to install or properly install a peephole or any chains, bars or latches that would allow a door to be opened safely while remaining locked and preventing unwanted entry of potential assailants….’The assault occurred due to the negligence of UBC.'”
Yes, but UBC’s negligence didn’t consist of not installing chains, bars or latches. It consisting of admitting a student who took the Qur’an’s orders to kill unbelievers as immediate marching orders. But there was no way they could have distinguished Tamer Almestadi from peaceful Muslim students before this happened, and so UBC administrators, like college and university administrators all over the U.S. and Canada, chose to put their entire student populations at risk.
“Student attacked in dormitory sues UBC,” Canadian Press, July 13, 2018:
VANCOUVER – A young woman whose throat was slashed inside a University of British Columbia student residence has filed a lawsuit against the school alleging negligence.
The notice of civil claim says Mary Hare was inside her room in Salish House in October 2016 when international student Thamer Almestadi entered carrying a knife.
Almestadi’s trial heard he knocked on the 19-year-old’s door, slit her throat and started choking her before other students pulled him off.
A court found the teen not criminally responsible because he was suffering from a psychotic episode in which he believed the Qur’an had sent him a message to kill Hare.
Hare alleges in the lawsuit filed in B.C. Supreme Court that UBC failed to install or properly install a peephole or any chains, bars or latches that would allow a door to be opened safely while remaining locked and preventing unwanted entry of potential assailants.
None of the allegations has been proven in court and the university has not yet filed a statement of defence.
The lawsuit says UBC should have been aware of the risks of forced entry and assaults in dormitory rooms.
“The assault occurred due to the negligence of UBC,” it says….
The B.C. Review Board discharged Almestadi from a psychiatric hospital earlier this year in order for him to return to his home country of Saudi Arabia, where his parents had designed a treatment plan.
