Italy: Muslim migrant beats 10 women in separate attacks, is ruled mentally incompetent to stand trial

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

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

“Moroccan misogynist who beat 10 women in separate attacks in Italy ruled mentally incompetent to stand trial and sent for hospital treatment,” by Thomas Brooke, Remix News, December 11, 2025:

A 20-year-old Moroccan man, Mohamed Amine Elouardaoui, has been placed under a mental incompetence order after investigators concluded he was responsible for a string of violent assaults on women in Prato over a period of just over two months.

Ten women were attacked, several suffering fractures and disfigurement, but the suspect was repeatedly neither expelled nor formally arrested because he had previously been declared mentally unfit.

According to reporting by Corriere della Sera, the migrant told his psychiatrist that he was rejected by an Italian woman, which led him to wage an attack against total strangers just because they were female and Italian. The first assault occurred in late September, when a young woman shopping in a supermarket was punched in the face without warning. She sustained fractures to her jaw, cheekbone, and eye socket. The assailant fled and resurfaced weeks later at another supermarket, where he allegedly struck a woman in the back of the head. In November, he was accused of tripping a woman in the street and threatening a post office employee. Days later, he is said to have punched another woman in the ribs and crushed her hands against a checkout counter.

The violence escalated in early December. On Dec. 4, a 64-year-old woman suffered a fractured arm. The following day, a 30-year-old woman was slashed with a broken bottle in Piazza delle Carceri. A female police inspector intervened and arrested the suspect, to which the man reportedly said, “You can’t do that, you’re a woman,” in response.

Psychiatric assessments ordered by the investigating judge concluded that Elouardaoui suffers from schizophrenia and psychotic disorders. A psychiatrist told authorities the man had developed a fixation after being rejected by an Italian woman, and this had evolved into what experts described as an “ethnic hatred” toward Italian women. On that basis, the aggravating circumstance of ethnic hatred was applied.

Despite the severity of the assaults, the court ruled that the suspect was incapable of understanding his actions at the time of the offenses and unfit to stand trial. Instead of pre-trial detention, he was ordered into compulsory psychiatric care. He was initially placed in a hospital ward, from which he escaped, but was later transferred to a mental health facility in Volterra. He is reported to hold a valid residence permit….
