A Saudi linguist convicted of sexually assaulting a housekeeper and keeping her a virtual slave for four years . . . Al-Turki's lawyer said prosecutors were trying to criminalize cultural differences.

Is the lawyer really asking, "Who are we to criminalize cultural differences, like rape and slavery"?

Sounds like it ~ of course we all remember the big cry for reversing DADT was that too many "interpreters" and "linguists" were being kicked out of the military for sexual perversion.

Hmm, too many?

Sounds like an occupational hazard with those guys.

Insane. So now it’s okay for Muslims to violate everybody else’s rights, enslave people right here in the US, and express all their other charming “cultural differences.”

What’s even worse is that it sounds like the judge went for it; he reduced this creep’s minimum sentence from 28 yrs to 8 yrs because of his “good behavior in prison.” Watch for him to get more favorable treatment and another reduction in a few months when nobody’s looking.

Cultural differences. Yeah, try that one in Saudi Arabia and see what happens.
