Imams Unaware Of UK Rape Laws, Study Finds
Breitbart London ^ | 21 Sep 2015 | Liam Deacon

Imams in Britain do not know about Britain’s laws against martial rape, according to the findings of an academic at Hull University who has concluded a study into “Preventing Sexual Violence in South Asian Communities”

The report also states that South Asian women are not finding justice for crimes committed against them because of “cultural norms” and “honour”, which results in crimes going unreported.

...

The news comes shortly after a glowing reference by a UK Imam for a rapist who is said to have taken advantage of young girls. As reported by Breitbart London, letters of reference were written on rapist Adbul Fulat’s behalf by an imam, family members and friends were presented to Leeds Crown Court.

The new research was carried out across England and Wales, and the findings included that a lack of awareness about what constitutes criminal behaviour was endemic among first generation immigrant families from Bangladesh, Pakistan and India.

...

One of the women who spoke to researchers and a victim of abuse as a child said: “There is no unconditional love in Asian families. Honour is more important to them than their own child’s happiness. It’s down to the woman to keep her own dignity. The concept of honour is about honouring the family and the community at the cost of the individual.”

In 2007, researchers found that many British Muslims held intolerant views at odds with Western society, including 36 per cent of 16 to 24-year-olds believing that if a Muslim converted to another religion they should be punished by death.

By their very nature Imams are unaware of any progress since the seventh century.

Wipe them out.

Wipe them ALL out.

If they can’t conform, KILLEM.
That’s what the British Army would have done 100 years ago.

Yes, there is.

Still first class, as ISIS just found out.

“36 per cent of 16 to 24-year-olds believing that if a Muslim converted to another religion they should be punished by death”

—on it’s own a big, obvious reason that those who call Islam a cult (which should not be supported by the state) are not incorrect.
