Ahmed Ali Alid attempted to kill his housemate Javed Nouri, 31, a Christian convert, then prowled the streets of Hartlepool until he came across Terence Carney, 70, stabbing him six times in the chest, abdomen and back as Sky's Shingi Mararike reports.

Whoever granted his asylum should be charged as an accessory to his crimes.
That he converted to Christianity
@@tulyatungaumar7213 they pretend to to get help with asylum. they are lying

Pay attention, the person he attacked in the flat before heading on to the street was an asylum seeker who had converted to Christianity.
Shh, they live on Downing Street, the house marked number 10 is a base of operations, along with big money laundering at number 11.

He's from Morocco ....what is he doing in UK .....there's no war going on in Morocco 🤨😡
His wife bullied him
How the tf he ended up in uk and they let him to stay as well at least iranian guy was converted to Christianity he Embrace and respect western people and western Society
I once read that Morocco has the death penalty solely for convicted terrorists.

I say the same, but my country is full of these insane barbaric people! In 30 more years Spain will be reconquered by Islamists again.

The UK is fucked. It will never recover. Imagine Britain in 50 years time, when over a third of the population is Muslim.
it sure does. though it's the entirety of Britain, not England.
Why are they allowed in.
Its a disgrace.
All by design.
Many of the people coming in are fleeing from these type of people. Sadly they don't have their real views stamped on their foreheads.
@@nlwilson4892 Non of them should be here, there's plenty of peaceful countries between us and where they're from that could take them in.
This bloke had had asylum claims turned down in 8 European countries and was having his claim heard in the UK . He makes it more difficult , immigrants in general and Muslims in particular . Acts like this turn the most reasonable and liberal leaning person into a far right Islamophobe . I am certainly changing my position whilst still trying not to demonize every Muslim . People try to defend Islam , but the more cases there are like this the more difficult it becomes . He makes it more difficult for genuine asylum seekers . I used to be against the death penalty full stop , but I think it should be available as a last resort for a judge's tool box and cases like this would be a good candidate. There was no argument over who had committed these terrorist acts in this case , in fact he was proud of it ! He blamed a defenceless old man for getting killed and even if that man had of shouted something he didnt agree with he didnt deserve to be killed . He tried to kill a house mate from Iran who had had committed the ' unforgeable crime ' of converting to Christianity . This mans is a total bigoted Islamofascist who will never be safe to be released . If he doesnt like our society here it is a free country and he had been free at any point to leave and go somewhere more to his liking . I am on the left and generally dont have a problem with reasonable numbers of genuine asylum seekers feeling war , famine and persecution and especially if they are Christians fleeing Islamist persecution in their own countries ( which hardly gets any news coverage - In fact they are more likely to fit in and help our churches thrive ) . I am not going to condemn every Muslim for the actions of a few though .
@@nlwilson4892 Dont believe that much any more, they can move to one of the many Muslim countries through out the world.
Words got out that the borders are weak and theres money to be had in Liberal countries.
Plenty of wealthy Muslim countries where they can live the way of Islamic law but they want even take these men.
But we're called "racist" if we say that they should be deported or not allowed in at all.
That phrase they shout should be banned
