And the lawyer for the defendant told the victim that she could have avoided the sex assault if she had just adjusted her own behavior. The West is swiftly internalizing the idea that whenever Muslims commit acts of violence, it’s the non-Muslim victim’s fault.
“Taxi sexual assault victim could have avoided attack, says driver’s lawyer,” by Genevieve Gannon, AAP, May 11, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A MELBOURNE court has heard a young woman could have avoided being sexually assaulted by her taxi driver if she had taken her mother’s advice to sit in the back of the cab like other women.
“She sat in the front seat … she was advised by her mum not to do that,” barrister Ben Mallick, acting for driver Omar Hassan, told the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court.
“She can avoid this happening by doing what other women do … by sitting in the back seat.” The point was rejected by Magistrate Andrew Capell and Mr Mallick agreed not to press it.
However, Hassan was yesterday spared an immediate term of imprisonment for three counts of indecent assault after Mr Capell heard he suffered from post traumatic stress disorder….

Does Ausralia have an equivalent to the AMerican Psychiatric Association’s DSM?
JMB says
The DSM is used by Australian psychiatrists, unfortunately it does not have a listing under “Stupid Women” (As in those who would get into a car, even a Taxi, alone with a stranger)
As far as I know the DSM has not listed “Follower of Islam” as a psychiatric disorder,it should.
(The DSM has also removed a number of conditions which conflict with the principals of PC)

One does not usually know the cabbie.
carpediadem says
Ah, JMB quite happy to blame the victim for being assaulted.
gravenimage says: “One does not usually know the cabbie.”
Exactly. It is in effect a retail environment and taxi drivers are supposed to be professional.
One more victory for Uber!
JMB says
I did not really mean to blame the victim, and (supposedly) we do have reasonably strict criteria for getting a Taxi licence. Any woman should be able to ride in any licenced taxi without this sort of thing happening.
As for the DSM, I am sure it is (mis)used to get many criminals off the hook.
gravenimage says
Thanks, JMB.
As for cab drivers, it is often the case that licensed cabbies lend their cabs out to relatives and friends, so that they can be driven 24 hours a day. Very often the picture on the license does not match that of the driver.
This is not necessarily a sign of a dangerous driver–but it does mean that cabbies are not as carefully vetted–or even as easy to identify–as we might assume.
JMB says
Unfortunately this is now a very common crime since the Muslim invasion of Australia. It is almost as if any women who is not wearing Islamic robes or is without a chaperone is “fair game”
Taking taxi is no longer a safe option for any women in Australia’s larger cities.
dsinc says
Remember “uncovered meat” Imam Taj El-din Hilaly.
Champ says
Other women sit in the back of the cab to avoid being raped by a muslim? This is *insane*! How about: never use a taxi if a muslim is the driver! Hello never trust a muslim!
Charli Main says
Get your point Champ. However, in increasing numbers of British cities, like Luton, finding a taxi with a non Muslim driver is rarer than rocking horse sh*t.
fudge says
Upto now in the north of England muslims only take single females out of their way and charge them double. So now they go to a taxi firm they can trust..
gravenimage says
This is true here in the San Francisco Bay Area, as well.
Maybe one in ten cabbies in the East Bay is non-Muslim; it’s maybe 50-50 in San Francisco itself.
gravenimage says
The same is true here. Probably 90% of the local cabbies are Muslim. It is almost as bad across the bay in San Francisco.

TheBuffster says
How can you tell if a taxi driver is Muslim? By his looks? Most taxi drivers in Melbourne look Indian or Middle Eastern. A few are black. If I had to catch a taxi on the street, I’d be standing there all day or night hailing taxis and then shooing them away because they look like they *might* be Muslim. I’d be shooing away a lot of perfectly harmless Hindus and Christians and some harmless Muslims, too. For a person like me, who can’t afford a car, sometimes a taxi is a necessity to get to a doctor or dentist or get to the airport. I can’t be waiting hours for someone from an ethnic group that *usually* isn’t Muslim to come by. And if you *call* for a cab, you can’t very well ask them to make sure your driver isn’t Muslim.
And then there’s the less likely situation where a non-Muslim man is a molester or rapist.
Maybe women should just never take taxis alone, ever. If you can’t afford a car, you’ll just have to only go places where you can walk. And if you’re in Germany, you can ride in the “women only” car on the train. Right? And keep all refugee-looking people at arm’s length wherever you go. Better yet, stay at home.
By their bad behavior alone, think what activist Muslims can achieve in imposing Sharia *behavior* on the women of the West. Less independent behavior. Don’t-go-anywhere-without-a-man behavior.
By the way, cabbies no longer have their names on their dashboard identification cards here in Melbourne. They just have an identification number. A cabby told us that’s because drunks are more likely to get abusive if they recognize a name as being from a certain ethnic group.
One time a big black African driver taking my husband and me home from a meeting one night took the opportunity to do dawa on us. Told us all about how Islam is like Christianity, only better. Tried to get us to tell him our religion. He wasn’t a persecuted Christian from Nigeria, that’s for sure. My husband directed him to drop us at the corner of our street so he wouldn’t see where we lived.
The cab driver, and the cab driver alone, is responsible for his bad sexual behavior. He shouldn’t be excused just because he claims to have a disorder. If he’s a safety hazard because of that disorder, if he’s shown that he can’t be trusted to control himself, then he has to be under the control of others.
And that’s true whether he’s a Muslim or not.

And this moves us closer to Shari’ah norms, where women cannot leave the house without a male “minder”, or simply do not leave the house at all.
I don’t drive, and there are places where public transit does not go, or where it has limited hours, and where it is too far to walk–or, incidentally, where walking can also be dangerous.
That we have to weigh these dangers due to the omnipresence of Mohammedans in cab services is another suicidal move on the part of the West.
Marty says
Was the Muslim taxi driver telling Allah Akbar while molesting his passenger? Just curious.

Isn’t that a clear admission that any woman who sits in the *front seat* of a taxi driven by a mohammedan is in danger of rape ? Sitting in the back seat is *less* dangerous ? Presumably because the mohammedan scum bag will find the act of rape slightly more difficult. Dear God.
Creatures like this Ben Mallick are *worse* than mohammedans; they **enable** their foul mind set.
Speaking for myself, if I’m ever forced to take a mohammedan taxi, I make a *point* of sitting in the front seat, armed with a can of hair spray. Bring it on, chumbawumba !
mortimer says
She can avoid rape by never taking a ride with a Muslim and carrying a can of mace and a small gun in her purse…one for each hand.

Wasp spray also works and is legal to carry.
mortimer says
So here we go again…THE RAPE WAS THE WOMAN’S FAULT BECAUSE SHE LOOKED SO NICE IN HER BEAUTIFUL CLOTHING…she should have dressed in a black bag so the rapist would not be tempted.
Muslims are the biggest users of pornography of all groups, especially Pakistanis, Turks, and Egyptians.
They use online pornography because their holy books are frankly and graphically pornographic.
Muslims should stop reading Islamic literature if we are to expect them to stop raping.
I can’t believe a lawyer tried that defense in our day. Shame on that lawyer.
Jay Boo says
PTSD
Well Mortimer, at least his lawyer did not try to claim he had no choice because as a Muslim it is his DUTY to rape kafirs.
In other words, if you were that Muslims lawyer you would have been given a dressing down, mocked out of the court room and promptly disbarred.
carpediadem says
The burka does not prevent Muslim men raping or sexually assaulting women, it is just a means to make their lives hell.

Angemon says
Well, so f***ing what? That a *victim* of a crime did not take all measures she could have taken to protect herself doesn0t excuse the perpetrator of said crime, does it?
Let me guess: he couldn’t believe that he was being charged with a crime simply for practising his religion…
Keys says
No, Angemon. I am sorry, your guess about his PTSD is way off. You assume PTSD stands for “post traumatic stress disorder”, right? But in Islamic culture PTSD stands for Post Traumatic Sexual Dysphoria.
This cab driver had a normal Mohammadan sexual emergency and could not fully complete the sexual attack in the cab, so he got Islamic PTSD.
Now this young lady has Western PTSD from his sexual attack and she is going to bash out his cab windows with a cricket bat, and put an artificial prayer bump on his forehead. She’ll go to court for it too, and get off for having Western PTSD caused by said Islamic PSTD cabbie.
But, alas, she could avoided all this, and still sat in the front seat, if she would have worn an inverted black Lawn and Yard Hefty bag and sat in the front seat with a related male attendant.
Ha Ha, but not funny for her!
Jerry says
LOL, a funny take on a serious matter. We need humor in here now and then.
Angemon says
I’ll gladly help her placing the artificial prayer bump 😀
carpediadem says
That’s irrelevant.
In Australia it is a long-standing tradition to sit next to the taxi driver, to exemplify egalitarianism between consumer and server.
It has always been so.
Angemon says
Thank you for the info, carpediadem. Here passengers always go on the backseat and there’s usually a glass panel separating the front and back seats, as a mean to help prevent taxi drivers from being robbed. All the more reasons to wonder why the barrister went there.

I’m Australian. I ride in the front seat if I’m by myself, unless I have too much baggage. I don’t believe that Australian women need to do anything different from Australian men in that regard. I don’t check the religion of drivers before I get in. I’m not young, so there’s never a problem. Fact is, Australian women should simply be safe to sit in the front seat and the very least that should happen to this scum of a driver is that he should lose his taxi licence.

Mr Mallick doesn’t come up on the Victorian Bar’s website. This suggest that he is still a reader (i.e., in training) and his LinkedIn page doesn’t show any prior experience. It therefore looks as if he’s gone from law degree through practical training and off to the bar as a reader. Complete greenhorn. Silly boy.

From what? raping and killing infidels? He’s a f*cking cab driver, for cripes sake.
This is how it goes with muslims, they rape and kill us and we’re to blame because we were there. “You naughty islamophobe! You sat 3 feet ahead of where you were supposed to! Don’t you know the sun will reflect off your boobs and hit his eye at just the right angle? !!!”
Maybe we should all just take a good sharia whippin’ when we get up in the morning. That way we don’t have to punished when they rape and kill us.

We’ve had refugees with PTS before but none have raped our women while driving taxis.

mortimer says
Defense attorney Ben Mallick said: “She can avoid this happening … by sitting in the back seat.”
He is actually saying that the defendant is not guilty because the defendant is a Muslim. According to this defense, a Western many would be charged for a rape, whereas by using the ‘special pleading’ that “MUSLIMS HAVE LESS SELF-CONTROL BECAUSE THEIR RELIGION TEACHES THAT KAFIRS ARE FAIR GAME”, the attorney is confessing that Islam has lower standards than the West.
If Muslims are less civilized per se than Western men, then why would we want to invite them to Western countries?

What was the trauma that caused the taxi-driver to suffer PTSD? Was the trauma caused by having a female passenger in the seat next to him? If this is the case he is in the wrong job and should be removed swiftly, preferably into a cell sewing mail sacks.
Aussirick says
I am a long term sufferer of PTSD, due to my war service, HOWEVER, I have never felt compelled to go out and find some poor woman to RAPE, or attempt to rape due to my condition, nor has anyone else I know having the same condition. Does this mean we are not actually suffering as badly as this poor taxi driver, who was driven to commit this crime by the mere fact that this woman basically forced him to attack her by sitting in the front seat ? I think not, the real truth would be, that this is just another in a long line of excuses being used by moslems to justify their actions, and thereby avoiding a jail sentence.
Lizzy says
I am struggling to understand how the Australian judiciary can accept this taxi-driver’s plea of PTSD. Ex-servicemen I can fully understand as with certain other professions but to be fooled by this taxi-driver’s excuse puts Australian judiciary in a bonkers category. There’s me thinking Australia as a rational and educated country.
This decision is an insult to all ex-servicemen.

Expat88 says
In the Middle East, and especially in Saudi Arabia where I lived for many years, expatriate women take taxis all the time and always ride in the back seat. It is actually illegal to get in the front seat next to a driver. Most drivers are not Saudis but are from places like Bangladesh. In the UAE (Dubai) they actually have female taxi drivers that you can find at the airport and other places, due to Arab women wanting to only ride with female drivers (avoiding harassment). Since these are the norms in that part of the world, the Muslim cabbie in Oz was obviously importing his mind-set to his job in a free country. The article didn’t say where he was from originally. His values are not compatible with Western comportment, and they never will be. It is a big problem that such large numbers of Muslims move to the West, but do not have the desire to assimilate.

Question: It is very rare to see a female taxi driver. Why are not 50% of all taxi drivers women? That would certainly ameliorate the situation. Surely here is a profession where equality between men and women has not yet been effectuated. A metaphorical and potential rape of women one could contend?

A female taxi drives runs the risk of getting raped by her Muslim passenger/s.
She has no choice but to sit in the front.
