Hijabed nanny decapitates baby, burns apartment, then parades severed head in the streets of Moscow

Ho. Lee. Shit.

The woman, believed to be the victim's nanny, is suspected of killing the child before setting fire to its parents' apartment.
CCTV appears to show the woman, dressed in a hijab, walking near a metro station with a head in her hands.
A police officer then intercepts her and wrestles her to the ground.
The suspect has been placed in psychiatric care to determine whether she is capable of understanding her actions, the Moscow Investigative Committee said in a statement (in Russian).
A criminal investigation was launched after the discovery of the remains of a child aged three to four, whose body bore traces of a violent death, in a charred flat on Narodnoye Opolcheniye Street in north-western Moscow, it added.
"According to preliminary information, the child's nanny, a citizen of one of the Central Asian states born in 1977, waited for the parents and elder child to leave the flat and then, for reasons not established, murdered the infant, set fire to the flat and left the scene," it added in the statement.
Police sources told Russian news agencies that the victim had been decapitated and the head removed from the scene by the nanny.

1. Why does the hijab matter?

[snooper2]

3. you are correct, they should have just stated "fundie asshole takes little girls life"

[Fearless]

4. Wtf?

This is DEMOCRATIC Underground.

[snooper2]

10. and it isn't very DEMOCRATIC to scream Allahu Akbar while holding a severed childs head

Last time I checked-

You even read the articles on this?

[Hortensis]

19. Dreadful tragedy, and dreadful responses here.

I hope the toddler didn't suffer much.

[MariaThinks]

27. i share your feelings on this - notice the comments are not on the poor child or the family

but whether anyone should have mentioned hijab.

[Nye Bevan]

6. If she had been wearing a large crucifix,

would you have complained if the news story had mentioned that fact?

[LanternWaste]

11. The presumption of relevance is unsupported.

The presumption of relevance is unsupported to date.

[Nye Bevan]

15. Shouldn't the story simply report all the facts

and let the readers decide for themselves what facts are relevant?

[Hortensis]

20. If any bigot was suggesting this was intrinsic

Catholic behavior, you bet I'd complain.

[kentauros]

39. And I wouldn't blame you for that, either.

Remember the woman who pushed her child in the swing until her child died? Never once was her religious belief mentioned, nor was it necessary. She was mentally ill, same as with this one.

[Hortensis]

41. Yes, almost all child murderers are mentally "ill"

in some way, anything from completely insane to lacking the necessary emotional equipment.

[Egnever]

7. I don't buy this story

Might have happened but smells like propaganda to me.

[melman]

9. Right

never happened.

[Egnever]

40. I stand corrected

[LiberalArkie]

32. And the envelope please!!!

38. The BBC isn't known for making things up.

And the video below is from a BBC website.

[Matrosov]

37. "Masked gunman robs bank"

The hijab is relevant because she was also shouting Allahu Ackbar while parading the severed head around.

No, that doesn't mean every woman who wears a hijab is a child-decapitating monster, just not like everybody who wears a ski mask is a bank robber, but in this case the hijab might provide greater insight into her motives.

[Oneironaut]

2. What is the difference between being a fundamentalist and being crazy?

Is there really one?

[PufPuf23]

23. Fundamentalist is one of many paths to crazy actions.

Last edited Mon Feb 29, 2016, 03:32 PM - Edit history (1)

Fundamentalist thinking is magical and irrational thinking.

One can be "crazy" but never act "crazy" and maintain behavior within bounds of society, self-respect, and lack of harm to oneself or others.

Some of us are more predisposed to the "crazy" because of genetics and environment.

Fundamentalism, drugs, alcohol, cults in general, poverty, and physical, spiritual, or sexual abuse are paths that fertilize and activate the innate "crazy".

Hijabed, Allah Akbar, and beheading suggest that some strain of Islam had a part in forming the reality of this horrid woman.

[MariaThinks]

28. your last point is right on target. There is something religious at play and this happens

all the time now. Pointing it out is not the problem, the problem is that it is happening.

I think many would have us sitting around like targets while the fundies commit their crimes and are excused because it is only 'a few'.

[virgogal]

5. The hijab doesn't matter in the big picture

but she chose to wear it and it is used as a descriptive the same way it would be if she was wearing a kimono.

[Wilms]

8. I always see clothing referenced in news stories.

"A man wearing pants, robbed a bank this morning". "Woman wearing dress suspected of kidnapping.

And so on.

13. He was last seen wearing a black jacket, a black shirt, black pants and black shoes.

[Nye Bevan]

16. How dare they mention the "Santa Claus jacket".

Not relevant at all.

[Wilms]

17. Please continue.

It's important for people to see your line of reasoning.

[MariaThinks]

29. i think what the killer was yelling might be relevant to what was on her mind

also - interesting, some family, despite all the islamophobia gives her a chance and has their child horribly killed by her.

[bhikkhu]

12. And the big story is she wore a head scarf?

[Atman]

14. A guy in camo outfit takes out movie theater.

WTF do the clothes have anything to do with it?

[B2G]

18. The hijab doesn't bother me, but this does.

Amateur video posted online shows a black-clad woman, apparently the suspect, outside a metro station shouting the Islamic phrase "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great).

"I am a terrorist," she cries. "I am your death."

[Marrah_G]

22. Sadly that phrase will be associated with death for a long time

[Marrah_G]

21. Mental illness is a terrible, terrible thing.

[HuckleB]

31. Stigmatization is a terrible terrible thing.

[TipTok]

36. That or just regular old religion...

[romanic]

24. It's telling

that some responses are more outraged at the mention of the killer wearing a hijab versus the actually killing/beheading of a infant. JFC.
