Maybe I was dreaming or I have the facts wrong:

Didn't the PM not long ago announce that everyone in AU -- Muslims included -- were going to be bound by the secular law. That is, if wife beating is a crime under secular law, you will be arrested, charged and perhaps convicted and jailed -- even though under certain cultures wife beating is permissible?

“In incidents such as domestic violence,” says the handbook, “police need to have an understanding of the traditions, ways of life and habits of Muslims.”

If wife-beating is wrong, it's wrong for everyone. If it's acceptable, then it's acceptable for everyone.

(This is like saying that racism is OK for white people who immigrated to Australia from South Africa; but wrong for
people who were raised in Australia. )

Unbelieveable. PC at it's ugliest. What about the women who are getting beaten?? Do they not have rights? Or, I suppose, they enjoy the beatings? (I deserved it)

The Islamist extremists ultimate goal is to take over the world and make everyone Muslim or kill them if they are not. It appears in a growing number of cases, some countries are simply rolling over and allowing them to take over - no bloodshed needed.

It's hard to see the bruises under the burqa.

"The Australasian Police Multicultural Advisory Bureau"

This is, in part, why the West is dying.

Instead of showing cultural sensitivity, the bums should be immediately booted out of the country and no more of their ilk allowed in.

And, I might add, the members of the Australasian Police Multicultural Advisory Bureau should likewise be booted out of the country. Let them join their buddies in Krapistan or the Congo.

The basis of 'Multiculturalism' is that all Cultures are equal.

Neaderthals deserve equal Rights!

[mamalujo]

so if I attempt to to stop a man who is beating on his wife, because in my culture that is what I was taught is correct, am I excused from punishment?

bttt

[Issaquahking]

Can you clarify any of this for us up here in the northern hemisphere?

[libs_kma]

And yet you don't hear the NOW nags and the ACLU rushing to their aid.

I wonder why?

As for the thief, both male and female, cut off their hands

So now will the Muslims in Australia and the U.K. get their hands cut off for thievery? Is that PC now too? It's the logical step.

We get told all the time by liberal talking heads that we have no right to spread democracy to the rest of the world. Another pantload from the left. Freedom stops oppression.

And Muslim husbands who beat their wives must be treated differently from other domestic violence cases, as a matter of cultural sensitivity: “In incidents such as domestic violence,” says the handbook, “police need to have an understanding of the traditions, ways of life and habits of Muslims.”

I was wondering how this PC conundrum would be solved. I should have known that they'd eventually come down on the side of cowardice. They're all cowardly blowhards at heart.

[Aquinasfan]

And, I might add, the members of the Australasian Police Multicultural Advisory Bureau should likewise be booted out of the country.

I like that idea. Go celebrate diversity in Pakistan.

Please read the entire article before you make a comment about this being an urban legend or rumor.

This doesn't surprise me. In an online discussion, I once encountered a young multicultural-initiated woman who was willing to defend the practice of female circumcision because it's a way to "empower" women in the cultures that practice it.
