Can A Muslim Man Get Away With Anything?

Britain: Head of Sharia Courts says, Rape 'impossible' in marriage


A senior Muslim cleric who runs the country's largest network of sharia courts has sparked controversy by claiming that there is no such thing as rape within marriage.
Sheikh Maulana Abu Sayeed, president of the Islamic Sharia Council in Britain, said that men who rape their wives should not be prosecuted because "sex is part of marriage". 
And he claimed that many married women who alleged rape were lying.
His comments have angered senior police officers, who say that such statements undermine the work they do to encourage women to report rape, a notoriously under-reported crime.
He told the website: "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. 
Of course, if it happened without her desire, that is no good, that is not desirable.
Later he told this newspaper: "In Islamic sharia, rape is adultery by force. So long as the woman is his wife, it cannot be termed as rape. It is reprehensible, but we do not call it rape."

I'd like to comment, but I think it only fair I inform my wife of this immediately out of a stupid western sense of fairness.

So much for the Western Renaissance, it was good while it lasted.
I used to think we might be at the start of a new dark age but now I see how mistaken I was, we're already in it!

We are forsaking the Golden Rule upon which our whole culture has been built before an onslaught of fiendish, satanic, barbarians.

'A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.'
Prov.25:26

Troubled and corrupt are excellent descriptions of the state of modern Western moral and culture.

Pastorius,

This is reason along to never allow Sharia courts in the first place.
