From the Times:
A Muslim who killed a swan while fasting during Ramadan has been given a two-month prison sentence.
Shamsu Miah, 52, killed the mute swan at a boating pond in Llandudno, North Wales, on September 25. When challenged by police he said: “I am a Muslim, I am fasting, I needed to eat.” Llandudno magistrates were told that Miah, from the town, had white feathers stuck in his beard and blood on his shirt. Jim Neary, for the prosecution, said: “The officers told him the swan was the property of the Queen and he replied, ‘I hate the Queen, I hate this country’.”Miah, who has no previous convictions, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to intentionally killing a wild bird and possessing a bladed article. He was released from custody, having served two months on remand.
It’s easy to spot that this man hasn’t integrated well into British society. He should, on being challenged by the police with white feathers stuck in his beard and blood on his shirt, have said, “OK officer, it’s a fair cop”.
