Three teenagers in the United Kingdom will spend a collective 37 years in prison for a series of attacks on gay men. The three used the gay dating app Grindr to attack, rob and torture their victims.
Metro UK reports Mohammed Sohail Khan, Qaasim Ahmad, and Muhammad Umar, each aged 18, targeted men in Birmingham with fake Grindr profiles. When their dates arrived, the three men would attack, tieing their victims up, beating and shouting homophobic slurs at them. One victim reported having a sock stuffed in his mouth before being forced to walk through dog feces. Another reported the three men urinating on him. A third underwent sexual molestation, with the three attackers filming his genitals.
“As the punches hit my head and face I was expecting to be stabbed at any moment, it felt like hours as I was forced to lay face down in the dirt with my hands and legs bound not knowing if I would ever see my family again,” one victim said in court.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The series of attacks happened beginning in January of this year. Police used DNA evidence, surveillance video and ATM records to link Khan, Ahmad & Umar to the crimes. Khan & Ahmad each received 13-year prison sentences, while Umar received 11 years and three months.
“I know it took the four victims, in this case, a huge amount of bravery and courage to come forward and support the criminal justice process through to trial – and I commend them for doing so,” said police Chief Inspector Ian Ingram of the case. “Their evidence enabled us to launch a full-scale investigation and a build a strong case, which ultimately brought the offenders to justice, and has undoubtedly prevented many other people from becoming a victim.”
Police have further stated that they suspect the gang may have also assaulted other men who remain afraid to come forward with their stories.

Import people from cultures hostile to homosexuality, and this is what you get.
This nonsense about cultural enrichment and diversity is high minded talk, but the reality is violence and strife.

As if you don’t have your own homegrown homophobes, Really bugger off already..

I think you don’t mean ‘importing’, because that would be human trafficking. You probably mean ‘admitting’. And in case you hadn’t noticed, Christianity is also hostile to homosexuality, so no white, european christians should be allowed in either, eh?
winemaker
Amen to that!

And, if not human trafficking, what do you call the European Union apportioning and giving member states a quota of immigrants to import?
If that does not sound like forced human trafficking, I don’t know what it is.

@tf3,0
Apparently you do not have a clue as to what the definition of human trafficking actually means. Don’t you have some sort of Nazi rally your late for?

there are at least a dozen muslim families in my apartment building. they know i’m gay. ive had numerous muslim neighbors for the past 20 years and i have never had a single problem or issue with any of them. they literally know where i live and they have never laid a hand on me or been anything other than polite and neighborly.
by your logic, my state should not allow white christians from Wyoming to come here because it was white christians from Wyoming who beat Matthew Shepard to death for being gay…

I’m 25. Just amazed how many people bury their heads in the sand and want to important people who would rather we not exist.

Not sure about the UK “importing” people but don’t forget, no one asked Britain to invade the Indian subcontinent and colonize what are now Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh either and wreak havoc in that area for generations.
That said, this trio’s actions were definitely homophobic but also bizarrely–or not–psychosexual. They didn’t just beat up these gay and bi men but also forced them to act out the trio’s sexual fetishes. In addition to jail time, which they should have gotten more of, they also should get intensive psychological counseling.

That first one looks like Shaggy from the Scooby-Doo cartoons.

The middle one looks like Little Richard.

@ChrisK….I thought the same thing.

the third one is obviously in to scatology…. he has sh*it stains on his face

Seventeen years between the three of these disgusting mooslime bastards! What a travesty of justice. Evidently gay lives aren’t worth much. These SOB’S need life in prison w/o parole or at least 20 years behind bars each.
Chrisk
Honestly they didn’t need to show their pictures for me to know that they’d be Muslim. What do people expect when you import these barbaric cultures into your country that do not assimilate.

@Chrisk
You can insert any religion including your own in your sentence and it would be true.

half the people in my apartment building are muslim. they know i’m gay. in 20 years living here among muslim neighbors i have never had a single problem or issue with any of them. they literally know why i live and they have never laid a hand on me or been anything other than polite and neighborly

Most Muslims in the UK come from Pakistan or the middle east where being gay is a capital offence. Muslims do not assimilate in the UK but form their own ghetto’s. Not difficult seeing something like this happening.

“Peaceful religion”.
Raymundo
Islam really isn’t important here. With Islam like with Christianity people use it as weapon to hurt others. In short there are dumb Muslim boys just like how there are dumb Christian boys and dumb Jewish boys.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Raymundo:. Except other religions don’t include punishing Gay acts by torture or death in their tenants…m

Oh wow the bigotry on this thread is appalling, religion was not mentioned as a motivator, all I see is three thugs who got what is coming to them.
On other threads when our community gets attacked by none muslims, religion or ethnicity is usually not brought up, unless the attacker is black of course. I find the bigotry on this thread disgusting and some of you (looking at you Chris) need to seriously self reflect.

Their collective IQ appears to be 37 as well.

My god they so are ugly, however, the United Kingdom has become a shithole for their fault and so also in France, gays in these countries are unfortunately no longer safe anymore.
Alexis
@fab0497 true like many countries. Gays in the US are prob one of the worst of, especially with an administration that facilitates homophobia and violence. Not sure I would feel safe as a gay man there
jonasalden
Does anyone else notice that they’re asserting religion doctrine in a foreign culture, or at least one that they’ve emigrated to and would/should be putting all their efforts toward assimilating into? Why’d they move to the UK at all, knowing Muslim values were not the dominant culture?
Hussain-TheCanadian
I dont know what you mean by “Muslim values”, but as some who studied the Qur’an and the hadeeths to justify my own existence, Sharia law is extremely harsh towards people who commit the crime(s) of “attack, rob and torture their victims”.
Kangol2
How do you know they “emigrated [sic]” to Britain? You do realize that Britain has millions of homegrown, native Muslims and these three violent homophobic jack@sses could very well have been born and grown up there, right? Islam is the second largest religion in the UK, with over 3.3 million Muslims, at 4% of the population. They are not all immigrants.

ALSO – push for Grindr to have a safe verification system linked to a phone number, email address, etc; like any other decent app.
1898
i agree, and thank you for having something thoughtful and constructive to add to the conversation
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
For what end? To discourage Gays from posting here? You already need to register with an email to post ignorant fool. I criticize Queerty at times but appreciate the freedom to express oneself without onus intrusion of posters privacy.
You and your kind make me ill.
You are a disgusting, vile abhorrent puddle of puke..
Fcuk off noxious troll..
1898
@PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS omg take a breath and re-read his post. he said a verification system for Grindr, not a verification system for Queerty. he was suggesting a verification system for Grindr to help keep people safe and protect them from being catphished and deter would-be evildoers like the three men mentioned in the article
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Three self hating Gay pukes in denial. Making their victims engage in sexual acts, filming their junk? Unfortunately these smcubags are going to get just what they really want in prison…
Hussain-TheCanadian
I’d be shocked if someone touches the troll on the left, bude looks like an inbred hick.
