UK: Rape victim used as sex slave is disowned by Muslim family

Sep 1, 2014 10:32 pm By Robert Spencer

Abdul Hanif2“She said in her victim impact statement that her Muslim family in Bangladesh had disowned her because of cultural differences surrounding the crime of rape.”

In Islam the victim of rape is to blame, for she has sullied the family’s honor by engaging in sexual immorality. The fact that it was forced upon her makes no difference at all. It is the woman’s responsibility in Islam to keep a man from being tempted; if he is tempted, it is her fault, no matter what she may have done to try to stop him. The woman bears the responsibility.

Think this is only something that greasy Islamophobes say?

Think again. We have seen a Muslim rape victim ostracized in India; the charging of a rape victim in Pakistan with adultery; Islamic clerics in Pakistan opposing attempts to end the equating of rape with adultery; a rape victim marrying her attacker in order to avoid being shunned; another rape victim converting to Islam in order to marry her attacker for the same reason; the sentencing of a victim of gang rape in Saudi Arabia to 200 lashes; the sentencing of another victim of gang-rape, a pregnant woman, to 100 lashes; the stoning of a rape victim in Somalia; nine-year-old rape victims in Iran rejected by their families and living on the streets; a Muslim rape victim in India ordered by Islamic clerics to leave her husband; a rape victim in Jordan murdered by her uncle to cleanse the family’s honor; and on and on.

“Rape victim used as sex slave is disowned by family,” by Jenny Loweth, Asian Image, August 20, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A YOUNG woman held captive as a sex slave in Bradford has become a suicidal outcast, disowned by her family because she was raped, a court heard.

The Bangladeshi student was a naive virgin when she was abducted from London and beaten and kept prisoner by takeaway worker, Abdul Hanif.

Jailing Hanif for 17 years yesterday, Judge Peter Benson told him: “You began to use her as a sexual resource and you controlled her and isolated her and locked her in.

“You took her phone and bank card and repeatedly raped her on an almost daily basis.

“Essentially, you treated her as a slave. She was a prisoner and had no life at all.”

After four months of degradation, the 26-year-old woman plucked up the courage to escape Hanif’s tyranny when he threatened to force her into prostitution to pay off his gambling debts.

When she objected, he strangled her with a cable, leaving marks on her throat.

Labelling Hanif intelligent and extremely manipulative, Judge Benson said: “These were acts of calculated depravity where you cruelly and deliberately enslaved a vulnerable young woman.”

The victim, who came to London in 2009 on a student visa, was struggling to pay for her accountancy course and about to be made homeless when Hanif seized his chance to abduct, isolate and imprison her.

He pretended he had found her “a nice new home” in the capital but instead drove her to Bradford.

Judge Benson said: “She was virtually alone in a big foreign city and you wickedly exploited that vulnerability.”

Hanif, 30, of Chapel Lane, Allerton, Bradford, was convicted by a jury of three offences of rape and one of causing the woman actual bodily harm.

He imprisoned her at friends’ addresses before holding her captive for three months at a flat in Pevensey Garth, Thorpe Edge, Bradford.

He kept her locked in, forcing her to cook and clean for him, while he worked at McDonalds in Ingleby Road, Girlington.

Police broke down the door of the flat on June 27 last year to free the traumatised woman, who said Hanif treated her like an animal.

She said in her victim impact statement that her Muslim family in Bagladesh [sic] had disowned her because of cultural differences surrounding the crime of rape.

She was depressed, suicidal and receiving counselling.

“She feels as if her life has been totally ruined, through no fault of her own, because of what the defendant did to her,” said prosecuting barrister David McGonigal….

    Does anyone know–are british prisons like USisons, where this creep can become somebody’s ( who is bigger then him-) bitch? (And, perhaps someone with advaned aids, to kill this slime, this p.o. s.

    Or, let him be a bitch fro a few months, then deport him. (Not to the US, however). My three faorite spots-in order-Syria-anywhere where there is fighting-so perhaps he can be readily killed (and not missed); Bangladesh or Pakistan.

    One item-said raped her just aboout daily. If he raped her when she was having her period-wouldn’t that be a crime under Islamic Shiria law, and make him also an outcast and subject to penalties (or death?)?

    Just asking

    What garbage.

    We ex-Muslims living with Islam’s formal and informal death penalty penalty for apostasy know that in the Muslim mind, all crimes, including slavery and sex slavery, are considered legal, insofar as they compute with the texts and teaching of Islam.

    THE QURANIC SANCTION OF SLAVERY

    by ex-Musim M. A. Khan

    The institution of slavery in Islam was formalized in the following Quranic verse, in which Allah distinguishes free human beings or masters, who exercise justice and righteousness, from the dumb, useless and burdensome ones, the slaves:

    Quran 16:76
    Allah sets forth (another) Parable of two men: one of them dumb, with no power of any sort; a wearisome burden is he to his master; whichever way he directs him, he brings no good: is such a man equal with one who commands Justice, and is on a Straight Way?

    Allah warns the believers against taking the slaves as equal partner in status and in sharing their wealth, lest they have to fear them as anyone else:

    Quran 30:28
    …do ye have partners among those whom your right hands possess (i.e., slaves, captives) to share as equals in the wealth We have bestowed on you? Do ye fear them as ye fear each other?

    Allah recognizes some human beings, namely the masters, as more blessed by Himself than the less favored slaves as part of His divine plan. He warns Muslims against sharing His gifts to them equally with their slaves. Those who would take slaves as equal, warns Allah, would deny Him:

    Quran 16:71
    Allah has bestowed His gifts of sustenance more freely on some of you than on others: those more favoured are not going to throw back their gifts to those whom their right hands possess, so as to be equal in that respect. Will they then deny the favours of Allah?

    Allah does not only sanction the institution of slavery, He also gave divine blessing to masters (Muslim men only can own slaves) to have sex with the female slaves:

    Quran 70:29–30
    And those who guard their private parts, Except in the case of their wives or those whom their right hands possess—for these surely are not to be blamed

    Quran 23:5–6And who guard their private parts, except before their mates or those whom their right hands possess, for they surely are not blameable

    Therefore, if there are women amongst the captives or slaves, Muslims are divinely sanctioned to have sex with them as they do with their wives. This verdict of Allah founded the institution of sex-slavery or slave-concubinage in Islam, which was widespread in the pre-colonial Muslim world and continued well into the mid-twentieth century. As far as legal marriage is concerned, there is a limitation of four wives for a man at one time [Quran 4:3], but no such limitation on the number of sex-slaves.

    Allah also gave a divine sanction to Muslims for acquiring female slaves for sexual engagement by waging wars against the infidels:

    Quran 33:50
    O Prophet! surely We have made lawful to you your wives whom you have given their dowries, and those whom your right hand possesses out of those whom Allah has given to you as prisoners of war… ]

    Muslims can engage in sex with the captured slave women even if they are married, but not with the married free Muslim women:

    Quran 4:24Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess…

    There are other verses in the Quran that talks approvingly of slaves and capturing them in wars. Thus, according to the divine commands of the Islamic God as enshrined in the holy Quran, Muslims are allowed to keep slaves. They can amass slaves by waging wars, have sex with the female slaves, and of course, use them as they wish. For Muslims, having sex with female slaves is as legal as having sex with their married wives. Slavery appears to be one of the most desired divine privileges in Islam, since Allah took the pain of reminding Muslims about this divine right time and again in so many verses.

    Muhammad considered all women as property.

    Muhammad considered Allah as his personal revelation HO
    Yes, it is not nice to say, but Muslims should not find that the least bit offensive.

    The non-stop daily filth that is perpetuated by Islam around the world is offensive.

    What do Muslims have to say about that?
    NOTHING AT ALL

    OK, so rape, murder and deception is good, but coexistence, music and respect is bad?

    Truly the philosophy of Satanists.

    These mutants are a clear and present danger to civilization.

    A woman doesn’t stand a chance in Islam. It was purposefully made that way so that the man always wins. They are piece of meat to be enjoyed whenever and in whatever way the monsters please.

    What will be forever puzzling to me is why women who were raised in the West who have tasted liberty would ever choose to enslave themselves to the bondage hell of Islam.

    I am sick to death of tolerance for an ideology that any sane individual would see as evil. It’s a scourge on mankind…and it’s eradication is the only remedy.

      it is written in hadith and quran that allah will give to each muslim who commits shahid (suicide bombing) 72 black eyed beauties who are perpetually virgin no matter the sexual activity. this appears to be the main attraction to islam for men…therefore one could rightly surmise that allah the god of islam is a nothing more than a pimp who employs women as whores in paradise even as they are used here in this place of sin and death. allah whack bar

    DEATH TO ALL RAPISTS IN ALL COUNTRIES

    • Oliver says

      Sep 2, 2014 at 12:21 pm

      I agree in principal (I used to date a woman who had been brutally raped as a teen-but after some time, I gave up-her problems were more then I could ahndle).

      HOWEVER, to paraphrase Alan Derskowitz, rape ( and abuse) are both over reported and under reported.

      Many real cases (of both) are never reported; and many fraudulent ones are ( remember the Duke larosse Team ‘ team rape” of a few years ago? Never happened, but CNN, N Y Times; etc had the players guilty and ready to be hanged.

      (Also, the Kennedy nephew ‘rape” in West Palm beach, FL (note, I despise the kennedy’s–all of them)- but this was a case of consentual sex then she wanted money.

      (If one recalls, -this was before the proliferation fo cell phones) after the “rape” she went into the hosue, called for a taxi, and waited in the house.

      not typical behavior for a rape victim.

      —————————————————————————————————–

      because she was not a rape victim.

    Conor Cruise O’Brien, in the London Times, May 1989

    “Muslim society looks profoundly repulsive…. It looks profoundly repulsive because it is repulsive….

    “A Westerner who claims to admire Muslim society, whilst still adhering to Western values, is either a hypocrite or an ignoramus or a bit of both.

    “At the heart of the matter is the Muslim family, an abominable institution.”
