Quote:There is no problem of Islam and rape at all, as Islam strictly forbids rape and actually calls for capital punishment for rape, a stronger punishment than pretty much every democratic country.
There are a number of problems with rape and Islam. Let me walk you through them.
While it is true that the sentence for rape (if ever proved) in Islam is severe, women are subjugated to the position of lesser beings under sharia. Rape is about power, and 'property' does what its told. This power imbalance can only lead to more women being subjected to sexual violence.
The second is that like our imam friends, there is a view that women dressed immodestly are asking for it and deserve what they get. That is pretty much every westerner.
The third reason is this. Islam has a long history of saying, and Mohammed said that you could 'take what your right hand possess'. The prize of muslims in the Dar Al Harb, the House of War (where we live) was infidel women they could make their slave girls and rape. We live in the Dar Al Harb, we are infidels - so this presents something of a problem for us.
The fourth reason, is that whatever the reason, there is tangible evidence to link Islamic immigrants to an over representation in crimes of rape, and usually (although not always) against infidel women. This means there is a big problem, and we better face up to it. Quickly.
Quote:Again, you're using the word Islam to refer to the wrong things. As for the quotes from so called scholars, they only appear to be quotes from local community leaders, certainly not scholars. And none of them claim rape is permissible.
They were seeking to lessen or excuse one of the most heinous organised crimes ever committed in our community. It was meticulously planned, committed with the utmost callousness and orchestrated with a large number of like minded individuals. It also caused the community to live in fear for a number of years until they were caught.
55 years was fine as far as I am concerned. Judge Finnane got it right.
Quote:They seem to be just speaking about the unfairness of the punishment, which when we compare it to others who rape and murder children and senior citizens and stuff is extremely disproportionate.
Did you read what he said? He was talking about immodestly dressed women as well tempting muslims. Most of us can keep our things in our pants just because a girl is not wearing a burqua.
Quote:I remember around the same time as the Bilal Skaf case, there was two anglos who robbed an old lady in her home, raped her, killed her, and got about 1/3 of Bilal Skaf's sentence BETWEEN THEM. Islamically all rapists should receive capital punishment, but giving one 55 years, and another about 10 years, when they broke into a defenceless old woman's home, robbed, raped and murdered her is just ridiculous.
I dont know the case you are referring to. But the difference would be premeditation, and the degree of conspiracy. Skaf orchestrated rapes on predominantly Australian women, because they were Australian, with a large number of people as part of a well rehearsed plan. That is something the law punishes severely, well at least our law does. If you believe Saudi justice is better, our airports are available to take you there at any time.
Quote:And nobody even said a word about them being Anglos nor tried to link their crimes to Christianity... why not??? Why is it the religious background is only important when it comes to Muslims? Why? Because you're peddling nothing but bigoted garbage!!
If they were part of a worldwide christian jihad, then maybe people would. But there is a worldwide islamic jihad against the west, and this is just one part of it.
Calling it biggotted garbage, or racism or whatever - wont make the problem go away. It is just more obfuscation to defend the indefenisble.
