Muhammad Rodwan’s claim is fully in line with Islamic teaching.

“The indemnity for the death or injury of a woman is one-half the indemnity paid for a man. The indemnity paid for a Jew or Christian is one-third the indemnity paid for a Muslim. The indemnity paid for a Zoroastrian is one-fifteenth that of a Muslim.” — Reliance of the Traveller, a classic manual of Islamic sacred law (o4.9)

“Thus if [a] Muslim commits adultery his punishment is 100 lashes, the shaving of his head, and one year of banishment. But if the man is not a Muslim and commits adultery with a Muslim woman his penalty is execution. … Similarly if a Muslim deliberately murders another Muslim he falls under the law of retaliation and must by law be put to death by the next of kin. But if a non-Muslim who dies at the hand of a Muslim has by lifelong habit been a non-Muslim, the penalty of death is not valid. Instead the Muslim murderer must pay a fine and be punished with the lash. … Since Islam regards non-Muslims as on a lower level of belief and conviction, if a Muslim kills a non-Muslim, then his punishment must not be the retaliatory death, since the faith and conviction he possesses is loftier than that of the man slain…Again, the penalties of a non-Muslim guilty of fornication with a Muslim woman are augmented because, in addition to the crime against morality, social duty and religion, he has committed sacrilege, in that he has disgraced a Muslim and thereby cast scorn upon the Muslims in general, and so must be executed. … Islam and its peoples must be above the infidels, and never permit non-Muslims to acquire lordship over them.” — Sultanhussein Tabandeh, A Muslim Commentary on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

“Hero PC used a taser to fight off machete-wielding attacker who hacked him SIX TIMES in head with a machete, trial hears,” by Sebastian Murphy-Bates, Mailonline, January 15, 2020 (thanks to the Geller Report):

A hero police officer suffered multiple skull fractures when an uninsured white van man tried to murder him in a savage machete attack, a court heard.

PC Stuart Outten, 29, was severely injured and may have been killed had he not managed bring down Muhammad Rodwan, 56, with his Taser, the Old Bailey was told.

After being arrested, Rodwan allegedly claimed he acted in self defence, and said: ‘My life is worth more than his life.’

The officer was on duty with female colleague PC Helen Brooks on 7 August last year on High Road, Leyton, east London, when a spot check revealed the vehicle was not insured.

The van was stopped but handyman Rodwan shouted at officers then drove off. When he stopped again the two officers tried to get hold of Rodwan, said prosecutor Jonathan Rees QC.

‘PC Brooks took hold of the hood on the defendant’s parka coat and PC Outten told the defendant to ‘get out of the f***ing car’ as he grabbed him….

‘The defendant can be heard on those body worn video recordings making guttural sounds before he started to hack at PC Outten with a machete that he had retrieved from somewhere inside the van.

‘The blows themselves cannot be seen on the body worn camera recordings, but we suggest there are at least four audible chopping blows that you can hear, and we say they are quite shocking before PC Outten realises what has happened to him, can be heard to call out ‘Machete, machete’ as he retreated from the driver’s door while still facing the defendant.

‘PC Brooks immediately backed away. It was at that PC Outten reached for his Taser and pointed it at the defendant, who sprang out of the van and pursued the officer while aiming further blows at him with the machete that he had in his right hand….

PC Outten suffered six deep wounds with associated multiple fractures to the skull, and two wounds to the lower part of his right arm with multiple fractures of the fingers….

Rodwan claims he acted in self-defence and said in interview ‘the officer attacked me.’…
