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….
