A teenager in Australia pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting 9 women and girls but was not sentenced to prison. Instead, he was put on two-years’ probation. Why? The judge reasoned that, as a Muslim who had immigrated from Afghanistan, “seeing girls in bikinis is different to the environment in which he grew up.”
Seriously? This young man assaults 9 different women and girls on a beach in Australia, and the court finds him not guilty because he came from a different culture?
I understand that in Afghanistan, women are required to be completely covered. And so, it would be quite a shock for a Muslim teen raised in that country to come to Australia and see so much flesh.
It’s for that very reason that some believers who come from conservative religious backgrounds avoid going to crowded beaches. They’re not into the bikini culture.
I can relate to that personally, which is why I avoid crowded beaches myself. I’m no more comfortable surrounded by women in bikinis than I’d be surrounded by women in their underwear.
But I fully understand that these women are not asking to be sexually assaulted, no matter how they’re dressed. And it would never dawn on me in a million years that I had the right to assault them because of their scanty attire. God forbid.
You might say, “But you were raised in America, so this is not foreign to you. You understand the culture, which is similar to Australia.”
That’s true.
But do you mean to tell me that this 17-year-old teenager from Afghanistan thought that what he was doing was fine? That, as he swam in the water and “spent two hours grabbing women, aged between 15 and 24 years,” he had no idea he was upsetting them?
The court was told that the “defendant grabbed his victims on their bottoms, breasts and, in three cases, their vaginas.” And the Crown attorney, Nick McGhee “said the defendant was seen swimming up to his victims ‘in quite a predatory manner’.”
And he had no idea this was a bad thing? He had no idea he was at a beach where these girls went to swim, not get assaulted? And, after the first girl reacted to him, he still thought they were inviting his predations?
The judge also noted that the young man had a difficult background, having lost his father in 2011.
But how, exactly, does this lessen his guilt before the court? How, precisely, does this mitigate his responsibility?
It is all too common for convicted criminals to have troubled pasts, and our prisons would be nearly empty if judges looked the other way because the guilty party was raised without a dad. (I don’t mean to sound uncaring here. I’m simply talking about a judge doing his or her duty.)
As for the idea that the teen came from a different culture and therefore was not fully responsible, how far will the courts take such logic?
“Your honor, I killed my daughter because she disgraced the family by dating a non-Muslim boy.”
“Your honor, I poisoned by son because he apostasized from the Islamic faith and became a Christian.”
“Your honor, I burned down the TV station because one of the hosts made disparaging comments about the Quran.”
“Your honor, I butchered the cartoonist because he mocked the prophet Muhammad.”
“Your honor, that’s just what we do in our culture. Please understand I wasn’t used to your way of doing things, and I’ll do better next time.”
Would the judge accept arguments like these? Hardly. (Or perhaps this same judge would accept such arguments. That’s what is really scary.)
What if you came from a cannibalistic culture where tribal disputes were settled with knife fights, and the winners ate the losers? How would this play out in court?
“Your honor, yes, it’s true that I roasted and ate my neighbor, but it’s a cultural thing. If I had lost the fight, I assumed he would have done the same to me. So, can I go home now?”
It’s bad enough that these girls and women have to deal with the trauma of being assaulted and groped. It’s even worse when the court sympathizes with their attacker rather than with them, finding a reason to look the other way. And what kind of message does this send to other Muslim immigrants, who will surely hear of this court case in the days to come?
Ironically, if an Australian woman living in Afghanistan decided to dress as she did in her home country, she’d be lucky to escape a mob assault on the streets, let alone experience leniency from the court. Yet in Australia, a young man guilty of multiple sexual assaults is let off the hook because of his Muslim background.
This is being open-minded to the point of utter foolishness. It sets a very dangerous precedent too.
“A little confused now, so according to da judge it’s OK now to grab women by the p?”
If you hate America and all we stand for, then all is permitted and defended by Big Media and half of American voters.
I support street justice.
I would recommend the same actions at the protests in Berkeley. One lesson I learned well in the Army is “the right of self defense is never denied.”
Only if yer muslim.
OTOH, if you are a foreign muslim and you rape a girl in a civilized country, you should be emasculated and returned to your country of origin to spread the word that raping a western woman is a VERY BAD IDEA.
Same for ones born in country, except returned to your neighborhood.
As Lord Raglan said, then we should practice our culture and hang the s-o-bs.
Since the Judge has ruled he will not punish the lad, I would assume the women of Australia will ensure the next one he grabs will drown him.
“Your honor - he wanted me to martyr him so he could reap his promised reward - I only fulfilled his wishes”
I don't.
UNLESS the judicial system has utterly failed...
I believe in England they do use Sharia law in some cases. They respect it as a thing. WRONG.
I learned that there is an Arab Muslim custom for mothers to sexually stimulate their little boys to calm them. This sets up a dangerous cycle in the boy’s mind, that women are responsible for his arousal. Then men have decreed in Muslim lands that women are divided into private or public. A private woman must not be touched. She is a close relative or a stranger complete covered in the rpesence of her male relatives, and if in public with only other will be in a group, walking quickly and purposefully to their next destination. Any other non close relative is a public woman and she is basically a whore existing for him to touch and have his way with.
Western countries need to announce this to their entire populations, and explain there is a zero tolerance policy on it. Mandatory or deportation. We need to be HONEST on media about this part of Islam. IT IS NOT A PART OF OUR CULTURE. Right now, in Germany, Sweden, etc, they keep quiet about these crimes and hide hem as best they can, and pretend these men are “just like us.” It isn’t true. Our two cultures don’t fit. There is no good reason to combine them.

I pretty much feel that the courts have failed at all levels.
While that is an excellent response by the locals, the sad fact is that the threat will exist as long as the types who threaten do - they’ll simply adapt and try different tactics.
They’re like ants in the house - it doesn’t do any good to just block their path, they’ll route around in no time at all. Need to get to the nest and clear it out to really solve the problem.
A large part of the problem are degenerate and incompetent judges.
Once a situation has devolved to the point it’s at in that AO, there’s no such thing as a workable top down fix.
The people rise up and do whatever it takes to fix the problems or they earn their shackles and slave collar.
Russia seems to have a better sense of objective morality than we do. Suck on that, America. The ex SOVIETS have better values than us. Evil is SUPPOSED TO BE HATED. We are supposed to fight evil. America has become a submissive dog, rolling over and showing its bits when attacked insidiously.
Islam will conquer the world if we choose political correctness over real morality.
It’s sad and more than a little pathetic that we even need to have this conversation.
Instead of complete emasculation, how about removing just one testicle as a warning? I don't think it would take more than one or two very well publicized reports to send the message.
It reminded me of an effective tool we had to "motivate" soldiers in my unit in Germany. Those that underperformed due to behavioral issues were given a choice: straighten up and continue to enjoy life on an Air Force base, or get yourself transferred to a sister battalion attached to the 1st Infantry Division and spend 8 months out of the year in the red mud at Grafenwoehr.
Worked like a charm...lol.
Smart women would be careful where they expose that much. Around home - ok. Out in public? No Normal women brought up by a mother and father who love and care about them would not wear that in public - regardless of what others are doing. JMO
Bill Clinton will be at the front of the line.
The government exists to protect its own citizens.
“What if a Muslim assaults a transgender woman? Would there be any outrage?”
Hard cases make bad law.
Transgender woman = fake woman = man.
I don’t know. Shoot them both, I guess.
It seems that citizens should organize against this unequal treatment under the law.
