Saudi Rapist Challenges Sex Offender Program On Religious Grounds

FrontPageMag: Saudi Rapist in Colorado Says Sex Offender Program is Against His Religion

Rape however isn’t against his religion. Homaidan al-Turki’s entire defense strategy from the beginning was Islam. The member of a prominent Saudi family claimed that the prosecution was Islamophobic.

“We are Muslim. We are different. The state has criminalized these basic Muslim behaviors. Attacking traditional Muslim behaviors is a focal point of the prosecution.” He had a point, because the behavior he was charged with was commonplace back in Saudi Arabia.

The victim slept on a mattress on the basement floor, was paid less than $2 a day, and Al-Turki eventually intimidated her into sex acts that culminated in her rape in late 2004, according to prosecutors.

Once in prison, the Saudis tried to get him transferred/released back home, but public outrage stopped that at least temporarily. Now we’re apparently back to Al-Turki’s insistence that he shouldn’t have to undergo sex offender treatment.

Al-Turki told prison officials in 2013 that the sex offender treatment programme “conflicts with [his] Islamic faith”, according to a letter by the then executive director of the Colorado Department of Corrections, Tom Clements.

His lawyers told the court in the same year that the program: “would require [him] to look at photos that included women in bathing suits or undergarments as part of the evaluation process”, AP reported.

That would be the Abel Screening which is supposed to test for assorted deviancies. Undergoing it would be an important prerequisite to parole or transferring Al-Turki to a Saudi prison/resort. Al-Turki’s people have rejected it because it would mean admitting that he did something wrong, also the group would be run by a woman and there are the photos of men, women and children in swimsuits.

Obviously Saudi mores and Islamic law say that Homaidan Al-Turki did nothing wrong. ISIS’ rapes and sex slaves show us how that works, but Saudi Arabia runs a low key version of the same thing.

The entire premise of the program is incompatible with Islam. It’s Islamophobic since it rejects the Islamic idea that Muslim men can rape non-Muslim women within the context of a hostile environment, especially in a non-Muslim country.

So we just have to decide between Saudi ISIS law and American law. It’s that simple.

There is no comprehensive international Sharia text. Every country, indeed, to some degree, every town and village can implement it as their elders see fit.

However, that being said, women, girls, young men, and non-Muslims have little or no rights, and females are considered the property of the senior male of the family.

Get used to it.

Well, someone should tell that that this ain't Saudi Arabia, this is America; if he doesn't like that, tough ...FWIW, a person like Al-Turki ought to have his problem cut off; that'd shut him up.

Like I said....

"get used to it."

"We" must tolerate them.

Meanwhile, they are planning how best to kill us.

"We" must tolerate them.

...and as I said earlier, this is America, not Saudi Arabia; we don't have to tolerate them and the sooner they get used to that idea, the better....

Put the bastard down and we do not need to worry about his stupid religious likes and dislikes.
