The available photos of Shadeed Abdulmateen, many of which you can see here, all show him with a prominent zebiba, indicating that he is a devout and observant Muslim. People of all cultures and religions carry out “premeditated revenge killings.” However, Islam creates an entire culture of violence against women, as its foundational text commands men to beat women from whom they “fear disobedience” (Qur’an 4:34). Such a text is going to create an environment in which this sort of thing is not regarded negatively, just as that same foundational text’s calls for violence against unbelievers (2:191, 4:89, 9:5, 9:29, 47:4, etc.) are going to give rise to jihad violence. Qur’an 47:4 says “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks.” Chen was stabbed in the neck.
Also, there is an unfortunate prevalence in many areas of the Islamic world of the idea that a man is justified under certain circumstances in killing a woman. Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour ‘provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.’” And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.”
Until the encouragement Islamic law gives to honor killing is acknowledged and confronted, more women will suffer.
“American teacher is sentenced to death in China for fatally stabbing his 21-year-old girlfriend when she tried to break off their relationship,” by Alyssa Guzman, DailyMail.com, April 22, 2022:
An American teacher has been sentenced to death in China for fatally stabbing a 21-year-old woman who tried to break off their relationship.
Shadeed Abdulmateen, originally of Los Angeles, was sentenced to death on Thursday after a trial in the Intermediate People’s Court of Ningbo, a city in China’s eastern coastal province of Zhejiang, the Xinhua News Agency reported. He was convicted of international homicide.
Abdulmateen, an English teacher at Ningbo University of Technology, met the victim, identified only by her surname, Chen, in 2019 after lying about being divorced, according to Xinhua, and the pair entered into a romantic relationship.
When she tried to ‘repeatedly’ break up in May 2021, he reportedly verbally intimidated her, a court statement said.
Abdulmateen arranged to meet her at a bus stop around 8pm on June 14, 2021, in Ningbo. Almost two hours later, he stabbed her to death in the neck and face with a folding knife he had brought with the intention of killing her, Xinhua said.
Chen reportedly suffered from a hemorrhage and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The court found Abdulmateen guilty of ‘premeditated revenge killing.’
‘[The] stabbing and cutting Chen’s face and neck several times, resulting in Chen’s death, was motivated by vile motives, resolute intent and cruel means, and the circumstances of the crime were particularly bad and the consequences particularly serious, and should be punished according to law,’ the court said, according to CNN….
Oldone says
He has received the Death Sentence…Which, I’d bet real money, won’t take twenty years to exhaust all the appeals…
Infidel says
And for once, if the US were to appeal to China to send him back to the US, I’d back Beijing in going ahead w/ the execution. There’s nothing so sacred about being an American that crimes such as murder be glossed over
gravenimage says
Agreed, Infidel. I am usually very much one for rescuing Americans abroad, even if they commit crimes like drug possession. But not in this case.
somehistory says
I read this on the news feed yesterday. The report did not say he is mozlum, but the name and the method told me he was.
Wanting to “meet” her and then stabbing her…with a knife he had carried for the purpose…in the face and neck ,told me what the report did not. Even if his name had been joe jones, the method and the fact he had the knife along, told me that she had called off the affair…probably because he was violent and controlling…and to whom he looks for his “rights” and direction.
The other report made it sound as though he shouldn’t be put to death because he is “American.” Well, he’s guilty of murder in the first degree, premediated and carried out with a lust for bloodletting.
Good riddance.
Barbara says
How many Muslims will protest his death? He was only following Islam cult.
gravenimage says
Yes–this vicious murder was clearly premeditated.
James Lincoln says
Shadeed Abdulmateen picked the wrong country to commit murder in:
The death penalty is alive and well in China.

Yep.

See ya Bi tch

How many Muslims will protest he was following the Muslim cult.
Infidel says
Well, given how quiet they have been about Chinese persecution of Uyghurs….
Fitna says
One more innocent life extinguished by psychotic followers of a death cult, in a long line of millions.
Islam should be treated like a pandemic (such as Covid) because encounters with Muslims, esp. for women, gays, Jews, etc can result in injury or death.
At least China knows how to properly punish murderous zombies like him.
Execution might not deter other Muslims but it will make sure that this person will never get out to do the same thing to anyone else again and you don’t have to taxpayer money for keeping him breathing for another 40 yrs.
Imagine how much better life would be for us if our leaders had a similar no nonsense approach with Muslims? I’d be proud of them.
Instead in the West we have traitors, cowards and sellouts making the problem of Islam far bigger and more difficult than it needs to be.
Fitna says
*have to waste taxpayer money….
somehistory says
Yes, Fitna,
Once he has paid the price…life given for life taken…he won’t be hurting anyone else. Even if his execution doesn’t deter other mozlums, he’s done.
Fitna says
Indeed SH and while I’m not for dealing with the consequences or aftermath, rather than the root cause, using extreme punishments with Muslims at least shows that the state is taking the problem seriously.
Maybe it might cause some Muslims to think twice, knowing if they kill anyone and are caught then it’s certain death for them.
Ofc what’s really needed is simply deportation, preferably dump them all on Antarctica and let the cold and polar bears deal with them. Then the rest of us can live in peace and solve our problems through more civilized means.

China: Muslim from U.S. stabs neck of ex-girlfriend, kills her in ‘premeditated revenge killing’
…………..
This *poor woman*! China never should have let this thug in. I hope we don’t try to extricate him, or else he may do the same to some poor woman here.
Kenneth J Johnson says
What did he do?? After all Muslems are the best of all people and she insulted him and insulted Islam by refusing his attentions. Those who insult Islam desevre to die, well don’t they?? KEN.
Andrew Blackadder says
I have to wonder why a young Chinese girl would be attracted to such a person though I dont know what she looks like nor her family situation, but no doubt other young Chinese girls will be taking note of this awful crime and stay away from men like this.
He will be executed soon and not spend 20 plus years on death row making appeal after appeal like he would in California… Such a low life scumbag.
John says
Women are not merely 2nd class citizens
in Islam. They are viewed with absolute contempt. The same contempt within which non-Muslims are held.
Tony says
The dude was not even a practicing Muslim but you have to insert verses of the Quran to fool yourself and your followers. Also for people to say why non Muslims are protesting her death is because we don’t have to. We weren’t involved and don’t need to pander to the likes of people like you.
PMK says
Tony, how do you know this man wasn’t a practicing Muslim? He could still have learned the Muslim faith, even in Los Angeles. His method of stabbing is Islamic, as defined in the Quran. His name appears to be Islamic.
Commenters were asking how many Muslims will protest HIS death, not hers, given that he was simply following the laws of what appears to be his religion.
john smith says
Wake up Tony.
islam is evil, and you and all muslims are being deceived by the greatest of all deceivers, satan AKA allah
James Lincoln says
Tony,
Your posting reflects the thinking of a very devout muslim.

…………………
How is Shadeed Abdulmateen not a practicing Muslim? This story says no such thing. Then, while this may be a common name in Dar-al-Islam, it certainly is not in the United States, in the Black community or otherwise.
Then, he has a prominent Zebiba–besides birth marks or untreated skin cancer–both quite rare–the only way one develops this is by especially zealous headbanging during Muslim prayers.

…………………
Note that “Tony”–really, Abdul–doesn’t say that Muslims like himself have a problem with her murder. And why would he?
Note that he considers expressing concern or regret over the savage murder of a young woman who is not Muslim “pandering”–*ugh*.
“Tony” here has made light of his coreligionists murdering Infidels before. Very common.
