STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A 37-year-old wife from New Brighton tried to slit her husband’s throat as he slept because he was not the devout Muslim she believed she married, and pressured her to eat pork and drink alcohol, authorities allege.
In a rambling, four-page handwritten confession, Rabia Sarwar laid out the “mental and emotional cruelty” that led to her trying to kill her husband, Susan Wagner High School teacher Sheikh Naseem, early yesterday morning, a law enforcement source said.
“I tried my best to cut his throat,” Ms. Sarwar admitted, according to court papers. Except Naseem woke up during the attempt, and took the knife from her, authorities said.
According to Ms. Sarwar’s attorney, Joseph Licitra, Naseem “was a cruel person, he preyed on her.”
The day before the incident, “he literally threatened to have her parents mutilated,” Licitra said.
The way the law enforcement source describes it, Ms. Sarwar, who is Pakistani, told investigators that Naseem, who is half-Pakistani, had presented himself as a devout Muslim before the two had wed five months ago.
But after the marriage, she discovered more about him, she told investigators — before meeting her, he had only dated non-Muslims, and he considered Salman Rushdie to be one of his favorite authors.
Rushdie’s book, “The Satanic Verses,” was reviled by hard-line Muslims for what they considered an unflattering portrayal of the prophet Mohammed, and in 1989, Iran’s Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa against Rushdie calling for Muslims worldwide to kill him.

Clearly a religion of peace!
Partly guilty!
If that photo is her, she might be not guilty.
He should have wooed her with a clitorectomy -—super hot...!
Only one wife - clearly not a muslim...
Guilty by reason of stupidity.
That’s what he gets for not beating her faithfully and not having 3 ways with her and a goat.
““I tried my best to cut his throat,” Ms. Sarwar admitted”
Good, better, best,
never let it rest,
‘till good is better,
and better is best!
Methinks she’s lying. haha
I understood he refused to take a second and/or third wife and she needed a break and apparently ‘headaches’ don’t cut it under sharia law. ;-)
another nail polish wench
ALLAH SNACKBAR!!
This is what happens when a man gets married, but can’t keep his hands off the bacon.
What’s with our muslim “friends” and slicing others’ throats? Ah, yes...religion of peace.
Old news. Devout Muslims have been slitting throats for over 1,200 years. Spilling blood is what they do best.
Islam is a religion of peace.
Muslim and principles in the same sentence?
I’d have a better outlook on Islam’s prospects if it read, “A 37-year-old wife from New Brighton tried to slit her husband’s throat as he slept because he WAS the devout Muslim....” (instead of “was not”).
She looks so lovely. < /s>
You mark my words, she’s going to get some great lawyer from CAIR or some similar outfit, and they’re going to make her poor innocent American Christian husband the bad guy. His life is not going to be worth a nickel now.
