Australian Judge Finds Muslim “Cultural Differences” Valid Excuse for Rape​

Bit by bit, Western nations are adopting Muslim legal standards on blasphemy and on the treatment of women.

The excuses are manifold. Racism, cultural differences, Islamophobia, relativism… but it all ends the same way, with Western writers, artists and thinkers being censored and Western women being subject to Taliban treatment.

This is how it began.

...

The judge didn’t buy it then, but the usual lefty approach is to just keep appealing until you find a bleeding heart judge who accepts the horrible notion being put forward. And that didn’t take very long.

Granting leave to appeal, Court of Appeal Justice Robert Redlich said: “The sentencing judge rejected any suggestion (Esmatullah Sharifi) didn’t have a clear concept of consent in sexual relations.”

In April last year, a psychologist told the County Court that Sharifi had “an unclear concept of what constitutes consent in sexual relationships” in Australia.

“It proves, in my view, an adequate basis for most grounds of appeal that (Sharifi) wishes to pursue,” the judge said.

We’re not just dealing with ignorance of the law. We have Western judges setting out the notion that if a Muslim settler in Europe, America or Australia does not understand the concept that women can refuse sexual contact, that this is a mitigating circumstance.

The judge in question should be dragged from the bench and put in chains for being so stupid.

Rape is only seen as a bad thing in the West really, in other cultures its not really that big of a deal, just boys being boys. Its the womans fault in most of these cases, thats how they see it.

Cultural difference has been a valid defense in Sweden for years. Most of the time it's a defense here too. A few years ago a father in the central valley sold his 14 year old daughter for a case of beer to a man who raped her. The cultural defense worked as all parties came from the same mexican village.

Does the victim of a cultural defense rape owe the rapist damages and an apology for not understanding his culture?

I hear they just issued a Fatwa in Syria for sexual jihad. This sort of thing is justified under Islam. Incredible. - Jeri

I think we had a good picture of that when Strauss - Kahn raped the Muslim maid from Guinea and got away with it - while the world watched. He has his job back as head of the IMF and now he is the head rapist of nations - Cyprus being his latest victim. -J.

Its amazing to me that progressives claim to be about women's rights when they embrace this kind of crap.

Progressives want to take away the right of a woman protecting herself from such rapists with a gun, and if they are raped by thugs, "cultural" differences now have to be taken into consideration.

Who's embracing that crap again?
