'There's no such thing as rape within marriage', says Muslim leader of sharia law courts in Britain
Daily Mail ^ | 15th October 2010

Posted on 10/16/2010 3:37:55 PM PDT by george76

A senior Muslim cleric has been condemned by police and other Muslim leaders for claiming that there is no such thing as rape within marriage.

Sheikh Maulana Abu Sayeed, president of the Islamic Sharia Council in Britain, sparked outrage when he said he believed that men who rape their wives should not be prosecuted because 'sex is part of marriage'.

He further claimed, during an interview with the blog The Samosa, that many married women who made accusations of rape were lying.

His comments have caused fury among senior police officers, who already face great difficulties in getting women to report rape - a crime that all too often goes under-reported.

In the interview, Sheikh Sayeed said: 'Clearly there cannot be any rape within the marriage.

'Maybe aggression, maybe indecent activity... Because when they got married, the understanding was that sexual intercourse was part of the marriage, so there cannot be anything against sex in marriage.

You obviously are incapable of apologizing for using offensive language. Character flaw....

No need. I doubt that anything further would be productive.

Young men are not exempt from blame. Sheesh. There are plenty of selfish jerks of both sexes (and young and old I might add).

I wasn’t saying that men, either young or old, are never culpable. But behavior, relationships, and the law have been grossly distorted by what the feminists have done to the culture. I might add that historically opportunistic men have been the chief promoters of feminism.

I simply responded to your comment as it stood. I don’t like the feminist agenda either. I think the feminist agenda has been part of a big ball of wax that is the progressive agenda, and darned if it isn’t working. It’s certainly destroyed marriage and the family (I think we probably agree on that).
