Cultural difficulties. Yeah. Here’s his culture: Farah’s behavior has solid Qur’anic sanction, and at least some Muslim rapists know this: one survivor of a Muslim rape gang in the UK said that her rapists would quote Quran to her, and believed their actions justified by Islam.
The Qur’an teaches that Infidel women can be lawfully taken for sexual use (cf. its allowance for a man to take “captives of the right hand,” 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The Qur’an says: “O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” (33:59) The implication there is that if women do not cover themselves adequately with their outer garments, they may be abused, and that such abuse would be justified.
“Judge’s difficult sentencing of a former refugee who won’t stop offending,” Stuff, September 26, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
No-one knows what to do with Mohyadin Farah, a Somali who came here as a refugee with a history of sexually assaulting women.
He’s been to jail, been in psychiatric care and even been considered for removal from the country. Nothing has worked.
His latest offending saw him target a 78-year-old woman – he touched her breasts over her clothing and grabbed her walking frame when she tried to get away from him.
A judge has called him a menace to the country that gave him refuge.
Farah came to New Zealand in 2000. By 2006 he was eligible for the highest sentence that can be passed by our courts, preventive detention.
A high court judge declined to do that and told him his stalking, kissing and groping strangers – thinking women owed him sexual favours – needed to stop, remarking: “You are proving to be a menace to the country, which has given you refuge”.
He instead gave him four years jail.
In 2011 he grabbed the breasts of a woman on a bus and told her he was going to rape her.
And in 2013 he demanded sex from another victim and when she struggled to get free he raped her.
He was later found unfit to stand trial and a district court judge tried a different route, making him a special patient and held in a secure mental health facility. The Crown offered no evidence on the charges despite him being well enough to face them and a judge dismissed them.
But by 2018 he was out and had offended in the same way by February this year.
A troubled background
Farah came to New Zealand as a refugee in 2000.
He was the eldest of nine siblings. His family moved from Somalia to Kenya where it’s thought they were exposed to considerable violence and deprivation. Later they moved back to Somalia before he came to New Zealand.
Reports says he had mental health difficulties, possible psychological illness, post-traumatic stress, poor language and cultural difficulties as well as problems functioning in the community….
DHazard says
If you are going to delete personal responsibility from the human equation then you might as well claim the cause of all problems is being born.
Rob says
White guy attacks Muslims ie Christchurch and it’s supremist plot carefully coordinated across multiple countries and probably rooted in Aryan supremacy.
Muslim attacks whites and is only attributable to racism, lack of cultural accommodation and deep seated mental health issues.
Move along. Nothing to see.
RTM says
ONE psycho white guy, decided to shoot Muslims in Christchurch. He was ONE.
How many Muslim pyschos are out there who murder their own family/tribe members, just for dishonoring the family? How many kill in TRIBAL wars? Yemen, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Sudan… How many for religious reasons (Jihad) within the Islamic world? Sunni vs Shiites, Salafies vs Sufis, Allawites vs Sunnies, Sunnies vs. Yezidies, Shiites vs Yezidiesthe etc. The list goes on and this is just AMONG MUSLIMS.
What sort of treatments get other minorities in Arab countries? Christians are fleeing away. Jews – there are non left, for many years ago. Hindus I don’t want to even start…
So yes, ONE white-supremeist A***hole murdered Muslims in Chch – and he is condemned by the western society, and going to spend in rest of his life in jail, not praised, like the Arabs do. There’s not point to make a compare here.
– Get over it!
Janice Mermikli says
I agree with you, but Yezidis are not Muslims. Their religion is is syncretic one which antedates both Christianity and Islam. Also, Yezidis do not proselytize. You have to be born a Yezidi, you cannot convert. Yezidis are persecuted by Muslims, who consider them to be “devil worshippers.”
gravenimage says
Janice is right–Yezidis are not Muslims.
David Grisez says
This man is now a hardened criminal who rapes and sexually assaults women, and nothing can change that behavior. He needs either life imprisonment or the death penalty. This is another reason to stop Muslim immigration into non-muslims nations. Because of the teachings of Islam, many Muslim men start raping and sexually assaulting non Muslim women

He should be deported after serving his sentence.
Ernie says
Dear David , how about castration ? No gonads = no sex drive .
Joss says
Agreed Ernie, but only after painful physical castration – no chemical nonsense!
Ernie says
Certainly NO chemical nonsense Joss !
gravenimage says
Muslims would probably still rape Infidels with sticks and bottles–Muslim rape is more about humiliation than having a sex drive.
Ernie says
Well Gravenimage , you may have a point here . But we have to start somewhere , don’t we ? Castration might work as a mighty deterrence , since Muslim-men are obsessed with sex ( in general ) . And in case of raping with a bottle , stick , or whatever tool : still castration as a standard sanction , followed by 15-25 years of forced labor ( chain-gang style) . After that , if possible send the rapist back to his country of origin . It’s time we show some HARSHNESS .
Ray Jarman says
Since nothing has worked and this slug has no remorse, the solution is simple. Either execute him as one would a rabid dog or simply ship him back to Somalia where he will feel at home and if he requires a wife, I will suggest that Ilhan Omar return also and marry him. I am tired of listening to idiot judges offering the same excuses for these sub-humans.
Walter Sieruk says
The claim of “cultural difficulties ” as a ploy to let “off the hook” that vile Muslim who makes sex assaults against women proves the the old saying is true .The saying is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”
The only real “cultural difficulties” is the outstanding decent values Western civilization which are in strong contrast to the primitive brutal misogynists “culture ” of the religion of Islam.
How absurd and outrageous it is to claim “cultural; difficulties” “ as an excuse for the Muslim unconscionable behavior
This folly and madness of “Different cultural norms” reflects how many Westerners are infected and taken in by the worthless, sick and unrealistic philosophies which are called “Multiculturalism” and “Cultural Relativity.”
Which are the concepts that all culture are equal because this MC and C.R concept teaches the foolishness that all values derive their meaning within the specific social content. This folly of thinking leads, or misleads, many people to view every position as only “opinion” and that truth is only relevant to the person or society holding that view. In other words, discovering actual truth in impossible.
These philosophies of multiculturalism and cultural relativity are absurd, nonsensical and contradictory. For example, to say “finding the truth is impossible “Is a statement of contradiction. For in making that statement that is saying, in essence, “I have found the truth which is finding the truth is not possible.” It should be obvious that this “War of Ideas” needs to and should have a solidly based in and on truth and not by a worthless “war of opinions” A person who embraces multiculturalism and cultural relativity would say about a scholarly truth teller about Islam with its different kinds of jihad , as Pamela Geller, that she is only giving her “opinion” on the subject.
Such ignorance is appalling. Just look at history. If Americans had that MC and C.R. view ,as many Americans do today , then during World war II it would had been madness and a fools fight to go into battle against the military forces of Nazism if it was only just “opinion” that Hitler was wrong and evil. Likewise in this twenty-first century it would be nonsense, for example, for the US troops to fight and maybe even die in Afghanistan if it’s just “opinion” that the Taliban and Al Qaeda are wrong and evil.
Two other examples of the falseness of MC and C.R. with its teaching that everything is only “opinion.” First is in the elate 1970’s two guys said “There are so many different religions that no one can ever know the truth about religion.” They were really saying that statement so dogmatically that they were self-contradicting. For they were saying that they know the truth about religion that is not one can know the truth about religion. Second, a shallow man in the 1980’s said when asked the question “Why do you always small talk ? You don’t ever talk about a topic that might have some value, as politics? After all , all thing are related “ That shallow C.R man replied “There are so many different political ideas that finding the true one is unattainable and all thing are not related.” The wisdom-less man was saying that he obtained the truth which is the he can’t obtain the truth and who does can is really truthfully say that all thing are not related in he can’t find the truth. How foolish, an obvious contradiction.
What is needed to counter this nonsense C.R./P.C. is the concept of “Absolutism.” Which a definition of this, with the scope of the topic, is “An absolute standard or principle .” In this “war of idea’s it’s the Bible with its absolute standards and principles to stand firm against Islam is its different types of jihad with its many evils. In conclusion, in this War of Ideas a firm foundation for truth may be found in the Bible and not the weak folly multiculturalism and cultural relativity in which everything is “opinion”
Thus the obvious difference between right and wrong are clouded by the awful philosophy’s of cultural relativity and multiculturalism.

Well, it is arguable that in a way this lame excuse has merit to it IF one realizes that just adhering to Islam is indicative of mental health issues and cultural matters in extremis.
Interesting and instructive that exculpating Muslims in mucho amounts by way of invoking the mental illness “argument” and the so-called “cultural problems” nonsense actually serves, quite unwittingly, as an indictment of the entire Islamic faith, which faith sanctions such horrors as death for apostasy, rape and severe punishment or death for any criticism of the narcissistic, brutal psychopathic Mo, the hate manual which is the Koran, or any denigration of the fictional Allah (really just Mo’s metaphorical hand puppet).
Yes indeed, quite telling and damning how defenders of Islam (whether Muslim or non-Muslim) after yet more bad behavior by a Buttlim stumble into the truth about Mo’s creed without at all realizing it. Put another way, Islam is a form of mental illness but one can be mentally ill and still under the law be held accountable for heinous deeds. This is the way ALL Muslims should be treated by Western legal systems when they violate said legal systems, which occurs with greater frequency by the year in Western polities because the West en masse has made the idiotic decision in our time that Islam is “just another religion.”
No, it most certainly is not. By now, some 18 years after 9/11 (when “something happened to some people”), any adult non-Muslim in the West who is not scornful of Islam in toto is a lazy-ass fool or worse.
No exceptions. None.

Westman says
I think you’ve found the core problem. Stupidity and Islam is a toxic mix. I dislike saying this – all indications are that Mohyadin Farah is of limited mental capacity and stuck in adolescence, corrupted by the teaching of Islam about women.
He will never be a harmless member of New Zealand society and should be in an institution, permanently. The judge has stated as much but today’s liberals will happily turn such people back into contact with other citizens(not themselves); claiming that somewhere, with the right action the incorrigible will be converted and the stupid will be made bright with education.

Add this to their devotion to ‘their book’ of hatred, the dubious background connected to their ‘prophetic leader’, and contempt for everyone in sight – especially women – and this is the result.
This has nothing whatsoever to do with ‘skin tone’ (racism’) or a ‘religion of peace’.. This is the embrace of 1,400 years of, and the practice of collective (like a hive of hornets) madness..

“… why Muslim migrant keeps sexually assaulting women”. REALLY! NOW you asking this question? Where were you?
– Islam considers the wife a sex object: “Your wives are as a tilth (a field to be ploughed) unto you, so approach your tilth when or how ye wilt.” Surah 2:223
– Islam allows polygamy: “Marry women of your choice, two, three or four..” Surah 4:3
– When a husband has pronounced 3 divorce times on his wife, he may not lawfully remarry her until she has married (and had sexual intercourse) and been divorced by another man called “al mohalil” (the legalizer). Surah 2:229 and 2:230
A wife has no such right.
– Men deserve double the share of women in inheritance surah 4:11, and the woman is considered only one half of the man in testimony before courts surah 2:282.
– Islam allows men to beat their wives and desert them in bed to discipline them. Surah 4:34
– Women are deficient in intelligence and religion.
– Women are deficient in gratitude
– The woman is a toy: “The woman is a toy, whoever takes her let him care for her (or do not lose her).”
– “The woman is ‘awrah’. When she goes outside (the house), the devil welcomes her.”27
The encyclopedia of Islam defines ‘awrah’ as pudendum that is the external
genitals, especially of the females.
– Husband’s desire must be met at once: “The prophet of Allah said: when a man calls his wife to bed and she refuses, and then he passes the night in an anger mood, the angels curse her till she gets up at dawn.”19
“If a woman offered one of her breasts to be cooked and the other to be roasted, she still falls short of fulfilling her obligation to her husband. And besides that if she disobeys her husband even for a twinkle of an eye, she would be thrown in the lowest part of Hell, except she repents and turns back.”48
– The dowry is given in exchange for the woman’s sexual organs. 125 (Ibn Kathir)
– The support of the woman (nafaqa) is obligatory on the man in return for the woman being locked up in the man’s house, and for being exclusively his.135
– The most worthy condition you fulfill is one with which you were given the right to enjoy the (woman’s) private parts.115
– If a woman goes to an Islamic country with her husband, he (the husband) can

What a disaster this man is for New Zealand or any other country unfortunate enough to have taken him in. He could only be a negative in any country anywhere. Letting him in, that’s the problem. He obviously needs to be locked up in some type of institution forever because I’d say there is no chance of his behaviour changing. He seems to have very low intelligence and, being indoctrinated with Islam’s attitude to women, has a very bad attitude. I wonder if the Islamophile Prime Minister, Ardern, thinks that even this disastrous man somehow adds to the rich diversity of New Zealand society. To me, she seemed so over the top in her sucking up to the Muslims in the aftermath of the mosque attack a few months ago that she’d probably have a very soft attitude towards this man and his cultural differences. Such wonderful, enriching diversity.

PRCS, I doubt whether Jacinda Ardern (or rather Saint Jacinda Ardern as I’ve heard a few conservative commentators here in Australia refer to her sarcastically since she was praised so highly for her way over the top carrying on after the mosque attack) will be asked any tough questions about anything for a while yet. I think I heard the other day, I was only half listening as I’m not a fan of Ardern and can’t be bothered with her, that she may be up for a Nobel Peace Prize. Or maybe it was something about Ardern saying that Greta Thunberg should be given a Nobel Peace Prize. I should pay more attention, but I just find both Ardern and Thunberg too annoying to pay attention to.
