She said Halil Cetinkayali, 30, made her ‘feel like a princess’ – before things quickly turned sour.
Halil, who Atlanta described as a staunch Muslim, made her quit her job as a carer ‘out of respect for his faith’.
A glimpse into the mindset of Cetinkayali would make any rational Westerner cringe, but some prominent Muslim clerics actually encourage devout Muslims to rape women. Back in 2010 it was reported that a high-ranking Muslim cleric in the UK “who runs the country’s largest network of sharia courts” claimed that “there is no such thing as rape within marriage.” Sheikh Maulana Abu Sayeed, president of the Islamic Sharia Council in Britain, stated that “men who rape their wives should not be prosecuted because ‘sex is part of marriage.'” A prominent female al-Azhar University professor also proclaimed that Allah allows Muslims to rape non-Muslim women, while a Cologne imam stated that girls in Germany were raped because they were “half naked and wearing perfume.”
Writer Phyllis Chesler — who was tricked into “a life of hell” in an Afghan harem — warned about women who fall prey to a “fairy tale”:
Arab and Muslim male visitors to Western countries tend to choose Western women as spouses who have been raised on romantic fairy tales, who are vulnerable and trusting; they are very young, perhaps quite lonely.
The men seeking Western wives routinely “wine and dine” them, treat them with great charm and every courtesy and make outsize promises which the women choose, unwisely, to believe.
After they begin an affair, or marry …. everything changes overnight. Literally and immediately.
“’I cheated on her and beat her up daily’: Thug filmed rape of his partner, 21, and threatened to put video online if she left him – then bragged of the injuries he’d caused by posting them on Facebook”, by Alexander Robertson & Amie Gordon, Daily Mail, January 7, 2017:
A woman has recalled the horrific abuse she was subjected to by her former partner – who boasted of his attacks by putting photos of her injuries on Facebook.
Atlanta Hammond, from Braintree, Essex, says she was subjected to daily physical abuse, banned from socialising and forced to quit her job by her ex-boyfriend.
And when the mother-of-one plucked up the courage to leave him, he threatened to publish a video of himself raping her while she slept and post it online.
The 21-year-old, who has a two-year-old son, says her former partner exerted control over her from the time they met in 2013, when she was just 18.
She said Halil Cetinkayali, 30, made her ‘feel like a princess’ – before things quickly turned sour.
Halil, who Atlanta described as a staunch Muslim, made her quit her job as a carer ‘out of respect for his faith’.
And after Googling friends’ names on the internet one day, she found he was using an alias and was wanted by police.
However, when she confronted him, he turned violent, grabbing her throat and said he would post the footage of the two of them online.
The pair stayed together, with Halil abusing her every day.
She told The Sun: ‘I didn’t have to do anything to get hit. Say the wrong thing, answer back, talk to the wrong person.
‘He’d make me sit on the phone to him all night if I was at a friend’s house.
‘I wasn’t allowed to see any male friends. In fact, eventually, he banned me seeing anyone but my mum – and for those times he’d buy me concealer.’
The abuse finally became too much for Atlanta one night when she attempted to escape Halil’s clutches as he slept and go to her mother’s house.
However Halil caught Atlanta as she was about to get into a cab outside their home, viciously assaulting her and stabbing her in the hip as a result.
It was after this final attack that a brave Atlanta plucked up the courage to tell the police of the abuse, and he was arrested for wounding with intent.
But such was the power he had over his victim that Halil was able to convince Atlanta to retract her statement and he was released with an electronic tag in July 2014.
It was at this point that Halil showed her the video he had taken off himself raping Atlanta while she slept.
It was this threat that proved the final straw for the mother of one, who sent a final text to Halil with pictures of the cuts and bruises she has suffered at his hands.
Incredibly, Halil would himself post the images onto Facebook, along with the caption ‘This is the girl I beat up and cheated on for two years’……
