UK: Muslim abuser who "didn't know" that sex with a 13-year-old girl was illegal is spared jail

Meanwhile Tommy Robinson has languished in prison in inhuman conditions for a far less serious offense -- and people still deny that he is a political prisoner.

"Muslim abuser who 'didn't know' that sex with a girl of 13 was illegal is spared jail," by Paul Bentley for the Daily Mail, January 25 (thanks to all who sent this in):

A muslim who raped a 13-year-old girl he groomed on Facebook has been spared a prison sentence after a judge heard he went to an Islamic faith school where he was taught that women are worthless.

Adil Rashid, 18, claimed he was not aware that it was illegal for him to have sex with the girl because his education left him ignorant of British law.

Yesterday Judge Michael Stokes handed Rashid a suspended sentence, saying: ‘Although chronologically 18, it is quite clear from the reports that you are very naive and immature when it comes to sexual matters.’

Earlier Nottingham Crown Court heard that such crimes usually result in a four to seven-year prison sentence.

But the judge said that because Rashid was ‘passive’ and ‘lacking assertiveness’, sending him to jail might cause him ‘more damage than good’.

Rashid, from Birmingham, admitted he had sex with the girl, saying he had been ‘tempted by her’ after they met online.

They initially exchanged messages on Facebook before sending texts and chatting on the phone over a two-month period.

They then met up in Nottingham, where Rashid had booked a room at a Premier Inn.

The girl told police they stayed at the hotel for two hours and had sex after Rashid went to the bathroom and emerged wearing a condom.

Rashid then returned home and went straight to a mosque to pray. He was arrested the following week after the girl confessed what had happened to a school friend, who informed one of her teachers.

He told police he knew the girl was 13 but said he was initially reluctant to have sex before relenting after being seduced.

Earlier the court heard how Rashid had ‘little experience of women’ due to his education at an Islamic school in the UK, which cannot be named for legal reasons.

After his arrest, he told a psychologist that he did not know having sex with a 13-year-old was against the law. The court heard he found it was illegal only when he was informed by a family member.

In other interviews with psychologists, Rashid claimed he had been taught in his school that ‘women are no more worthy than a lollipop that has been dropped on the ground’.

When Judge Stokes said Rashid ‘must have known it was illegal, unless he was going round with his eyes shut’, defence lawyer Laban Leake said reports suggested Rashid had a ‘degree of sexual naivety’.

‘The school he attended, it is not going too far to say, can be described as a closed community and on this occasion this was perpetuated by his home life.

‘It is not too far to say that he may not have known that having sex with a 13-year-old girl was illegal.’ Judge Stokes sentenced Rashid to nine months youth custody, suspended for two years, along with a two-year probation supervision order....

Around here, ignorance of the law is not an excuse...The ignorance of the judge is inexcusable...Around here there would be calls for impeachment...

This is simply madness:
Defence lawyer Laban Leake said reports suggested Rashid had a ‘degree of sexual naivety’. Wow! The fruits of multiculturalism.
Immagine if an English porn movie maker went to Iran to make a movie. And after being caught said in his defense: "Illegal? Really, I didn't know!"
Congrats Uk another step toward your own slavery. Dhimmis.
This story makes me sick. And as Robert said, meanwhile Tommy R. languishes in prison in inhuman conditions for a far less serious offense.
Unbelievable.

Aww the poor dear didn't know sex with children was wrong. We know what sheltered lives these muslims have living on the dole/welfare watching western television, going to infidel dance clubs. How could they possibly know sex with 13 yr olds was wrong?

And because he was taught that women were worth less than a lollipop on the ground, clearly he was raised with the wrong ideas, so let's give that sweet boy another chance.

Let's also ignore the entire population of muslims in your nation instilling the very same ideas to millions of muslim men while we're at it. So when they rape worthless infidel girls, we'll let them out again too with a slap on their wrist.

The Brits have lost all sense of morality and good and evel and they are becoming just like Muslims whom they allowed in their country. True moron - this judge!!

After his arrest, he told a psychologist that he did not know having sex with a 13-year-old was against the law.

And the dhimmwitted infidels believed his lie. His mates must be pissing themselves laughing.

Clowns!

The dawn of the "I'm Just an Ignorant Muslim" defense.

I have to wonder if the girl had only been nine, like Aisha, would this judge have still given the same sentence? Is there a limit to this judge's stupidity? Is there a limit to how much a Muslim in the West can immitate Islam's warped founder? Just askin'.

If I was the girls father, I'd exact my own justice for this scum bag.

Might involve a lead headache, just saying'. He could claim he was only performing an "honor" killing, because that's what he's read about and isn't that OK??

Isn't that allowed by the muzzies, wouldn't they tell the parents of the young man, "Well, he had it comin' Allah, Achbar"

Now I'm really wound up!!!!

I'm going to go and watch BBC for a bit to see if this atrocity is the lead story and I expect to see the footage of tens of thousands of Brits marching in the streets demanding justice and the expulsion of this "retarded" judge from the bench.

ATTENTION BRITISH PEOPLE!!!

What ever happen to "We will fight them on the beaches...we will never surrender...etc.? (He is rolling over in his grave)

Are you all going to just roll over and take this sh*t from these savages??

They are teaching this crap in the muzzie schools that YOU allow right in your own backyard, are you DAFT???

If there was ever a reason to rise up and take back your country...I think this might be it?

Stop Muslim immigration immediately and start the deportation procedures, no appeals, if you are a muzzie then it's bye-bye.

Make sure you photograph and print everyone that gets the boot as well and they are never allowed on British soil again. That also means that all get photographed, even the ones wearing the tents. No exceptions.

It will be the same feeling of relief you get when you unplug a toilet, same smell as well I suspect.

Thank God you got that problem fixed! (BTW, you thank the real God, not the satanic one called Allah or his Pedo Prophet Mo-Ham-id (May puke be upon them)

Tear down those schools, mosques and any other muzzie facility and take your country back!!

From now on the teaching in British schools is that a muzzie is not worth any more than a piece of dried dog sh*t on the front lawn.

Nuff said...

I'm going to turn on the tube now and watch the fun...uh, popcorn first ;o)

"But he [Judge Stokes] said that Rashid knew what he was doing was wrong.

‘It was made clear to you at the school you attended that having sexual relations with a woman before marriage was contrary to the precepts of Islam,’ he said.

There are two issues here.

1. Islam's duplicitous teaching that sex outside of marriage is a sin (unless it's with women one's right hand possesses), and that women (all women, including his mother) are worthless.

2. The pretense that his Islamic education also left him ignorant of British law. The truth be known, he was very likely told that kuffar laws do not apply to Muslims.

I do wonder why identifying the Islamic school he learned all of these things can't be named "for legal reasons". It can't be all that difficult to find out which one that is and to start demanding answers about its "curriculum".

bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with what you are saying, 100%

It would be useful to see the precise text of the criminal statute that was violated. In the US the creation of that text would be the responsibility of a legislative branch. A judge would apply the facts to that legislative provision. A judge may not add to or ignore the statute. In the US, again, if a judge is dissatisfied with legislation he can refer to a superior constitutional provision to invalidate legislation, and of course fully explain the decision.

What I see here is the enforcement of an unwritten Sharia-based constitutional exemption applied exclusively to an Islamist. Isn't this the same step in the process that renders Muslims unaccountable for attacks on non-Muslims in openly (loud and proud) Sharia-based governments? It can't defy Sharia, thus it is Sharia.

UK: Muslim abuser who "didn't know" that sex with a 13-year-old girl was illegal is spared jail
..........................

I would also ask, with Wellington, if it would have been just fine if he "hadn't known" that raping a nine-year-old was illegal, as well.

And what if he "hadn't known" that murdering a "Blasphemer" or apostate was Illegal in Britain—would he have been given a pass on that, as well?

And what if the poor dear didn't know that waging violent Jihad against the Kuffar was illegal in Britain? Would bombing the London Tube be A-OK?

Suicidal madness.

So much here. What sort of message does this send to the poor victim? To other "ignorant" Muslim rapists?

And why is no one concerned over Madrasses that teach Muslims that "women are worthless"? This school is right in the heart of England, creating the next generation of rapists who are ignorant of British law.

Is anyone going to follow up at this Madrassa and see what they are teaching? I really doubt it.

"Naive and immature"—this cannot be used to *describe a rapist of under-aged girls*. Good God.

Rashid wasn't "passive" and "lacking assertiveness" when he *groomed and raped* an under-aged girl.

Rashid, from Birmingham, admitted he had sex with the girl, saying he had been ‘tempted by her’ after they met online...

He told police he knew the girl was 13 but said he was initially reluctant to have sex before relenting after being seduced.
..........................

See—it's all the child's fault, for "tempting him". God, I hate Islam.

And a Muslim never takes any personal responsibility, but can be easily swayed by the action of "worthless" women.

And an adult can be "tempted" and "seduced" by a child to do something he doesn't want to do—that's the upside down world of Islamic "morality".

By the way, my mother was born in Birmingham, but that once great city is now more and more a watchword for Islamic barbarism.

This is such a disgrace. A woman is nothing more than a lollipop. Where in the Koran does it say that. These radical pigs hide behind a false religion to peddle their twisted antiquated ways. I don't live in the UK but please please stand up and make your voices heard on this issue. We are depending on you.

He was not that naive and immature to use a condom

So this is the sentence Judge Michael Stokes will mete out when his 13 year old daughter is raped an 18 year old Muslim?

Another sell-out of a victim by an idiot on the bench. Yes, muslims do seem to be major beneficiaries of a corrupt and low grade mockery of a judicial system…. But not the only beneficiaries.

Let’s face it, western legal systems have been increasingly corrupt for decades or more. Victims rights?? Disgusting! Long jail terms for murder? Barbaric!

In Canada, youth crime law is so pathetic, that it actually encourages youth crime… The poor poor young criminal, exchanging notes with others of his cohort, knows what load of rubbish to hand to what idiot judge, and laughs on the other side of the courtroom door. The quality of judges is a serious problem, even without dhimitude… or financial corruption. A local judge, a falling down habitual drunk, routinely drove home after getting plastered, taking for granted that since he was a judge, the police would let him go. And quite a few would have, knowing that the system would NOT take his criminal act very seriously. The same dolt could be a poster boy for useless jackasses being elevated to positions that they never would or could qualify for, but the selection process is political, so standards don’t count.

Seeing these idiots enforce their own ignorant bigotry as law, or laws being created out of the same ignorant bigotry, is rather hard on ones enthusiasm for life…. The Canadian supreme court (they don’t deserve capitalization) has a shabby history of laws being changed to suit the needs of one of their own, and have recently decreed a racist standard, where ‘native’ Canadians are to be held to a much lower standard of conduct. The police are very selective about what laws will be enforce when dealing with pressure groups or minorities, and victims, if they object, are lucky if they are ignored.

Cries of ‘kill the jews kill the jews’ have been heard in my city, and NOTHING was done about it…. Major roadways are blocked by preferred minorities, and NOTHING is done about it.

The problem isn’t limited to favouritism shown just to muslims….

A few years ago I was unemployed and in order to pay the bills I slept in my basement and rented out my room. I was fined $200 because it's illegal to sleep in a basement even when it's your own basement. The fact that I didn't know that didn't matter, it's the citizen's responsibility to know the law. Before I was fined I saw other people fined who openly said they didn't know. I find it hard to believe the Muslim who said he didn't know but even assuming he is telling the truth it's his responsibility to know.

duh swami, something is very rotten here. Ignorance of the law has never been an excuse in Britain for breaking it. The judge's ruling was utterly illegal.

The only exception would be if the young man could be proved to be intellectually disabled or of unsound mind. While these options are hinted at, they are not spelled out.

PRCS, the reason that the school "cannot be named for legal reasons" is most likely that the school is currently subject to a legal investigation. Most likely there have been questions raised about the legality of its curriculum. So the school's anonymity is probably a good sign.

However, there are only a few Muslim day-schools (as opposed to after-school madrassas) in Birmingham - I suspect no more than half a dozen. The school will be identified long before its identity is officially released.
